Jekyll Island restful beach retreat

On Jekyll Island the ocean breezes are calling…the most beautiful coastal sunset in Georgia wants to say hello!!

Jekyll Island didn’t have to work hard to earn the nickname “Georgia’s Jewel”. As soon as your car crosses over the causeway, you understand why this serene little stretch of sand was the playground of America’s most famous northern industrialist generations ago.

Steeped in a rich history worthy of Hollywood movies, Jekyll Island sits quietly, waiting to welcome weary travelers in need of a calming vacation.

If you seek heart-pounding adventures on you vacations, Jekyll Island is not for you. If you yearn for simple days by the sea…what are you waiting for??

Jekyll Island is unique in that it is the only undeveloped Golden Isle that is accessible by car. Sixty-five percent of the island remains untouched, showcasing the inspiring beauty of what its cluttered, noisy neighbors used to be.

It’s a golfer’s mecca, a naturalist’s dream, a fitness buff’s unimagined outdoor gym.

We had a good stay. Check in took longer than usual for VRBO because I had to go through their front desk. Then they were saying I had an outstanding balance even though it had been paid much earlier. Generally the owner sends a door code.

Place was clean and easy to find. Good amenities. It is just a short walk to the beach boardwalk and at least a 10 minute walk to the popular Driftwood Beach. Nice restaurant” Driftwood Bistro “ that was right across the condo parking lot.

Comfortable accommodations and convenient location on the north end of the island. We are outdoors people so it worked well for us to be next to driftwood beach. Right across from the Driftwood Bistro and pool. Would come back again.

This place was fabulous. We were close to the campground & a huge group of our friends. Clean, quiet, bike rental easy, the Bistro restaurant across the parking lot, beach within steps, etc... We would definitely rent again!! Thank you for the opportunity:)

The Unit was clean and nice accommodation for our family weekend. We would recommend this unit. Recommend replacing the shower heads and need more than one trash bag for the unit.

This was such a great choice! The condo was clean, plenty of space! The resorts grounds were perfect and staff was amazing! Good food made the stay even better! Ned was very helpful each time I reached out! It’s a must stay again!

The condo was lovely. Beds were comfortable and very well maintained and clean. The area was close to the beach and many beautiful trails and sites to visit. Our only issue was finding places to eat that did not have a 2+ hour wait, even with a reservation. Stock up on groceries before getting on the island. Groceries are very expensive there and the items they carry are limited.

First VRBO we have enjoyed with no difficulties of any kind. We've been coming to Jekyll for over fifty years and will be back.

Our stay was peaceful and full of family fun. From walking the beach, to renting bikes to ride around the island, to walking across the street to check out Hortons pond. Drift wood beach was just around the corner from the property. We rented a golf cart from red bug motors for a day. There was a lot of things to do.

Great location to driftwood beach. We spent time there every night searching for sea glass. Easy access to beach to see the sunrise and it did not disappoint! Pool was lovely to sit beside and they have plenty of beach towels to make you comfortable. Loved having the bistro across the lot to have a late dinner several nights. Condo was like the pictures in the listing.

We stayed here for a weekend with our adult children and their significant others. The property was a great place to stay for 6 people and was very clean and comfortable. The check in process was very easy and the people who worked there were very friendly. There is a great restaurant in the community, Driftwood Bistro, that we visited the first night there because we were already tired from driving. We were also able to rent bikes from the resort our first full day there making it so easy to leave right from the resort bike 27.5 miles and end up back at our resort. The host was friendly and informative but we never needed to bother him during our stay because everything was as expected. Would stay again.

Property was perfect for my family of 6 (3 adults, two teens and a two year old). Amenities were convenient and close. Boardwalk was enjoyed at high tide and evenings as well as the large pool. Food at Driftwood Bistro was excellent and its literally across the road so the wait list was no issue. Hortons Pond and trails through the maritime forest connected to Horton House and historical district are accessible across the road from the property entrance. We saw dolphins while horseback riding, baby sharks in the morning beach walks, alligators and turtles in the pond. Biking the beach bike trails was much enjoyed, the trails are beautifully kept as are the beaches....Glory Beach was my favorite. Driftwood Beach did not disappoint either, so unique. We hope to return!

This was overall a nice property with nice access to beach. Though booked through Vrbo, the property was supported much more like a hotel-key cards, cleaning, ice machines. I would definitely consider staying again. Positives: -Easy check in. We also were able to check in early (though I’m sure they can’t commit to that) -Kitchen supplies were good. Had dishes to cook, serve and eat from. Also had cleaning supplies (dish soap and dishwasher). -access to a quiet spot on the beach. It was beautiful and a quick walk. -the unit itself is compact, but had space for our small party. Each room had necessary items. Beds were comfy. Negative/Opportunities -no real view of any kind -construction on the overall property. I didn’t recall this notice on the Vrbo. Certainly appreciate the upgrades being done but would have been nice to know. Didn’t affect our stay. Overall I would give this 4.5 stars if I could. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

This was our first time on Jekyll Island, and found the accommodations and host to be top notch. There were 6 of us, and condo had ample room. The folks at Villas By the Sea were also very helpful. Though we didn't know it when we booked this place, it's very close to Driftwood Beach, which we visited a few times. A good time was had by all.
