Great place directly on the water and great views- Quiet and safe. Only drawback is I had some older folks with me and the stairs where not great but it was for two nights. Both Villas I rented has a master bed on the ground floor and the other folks stayed upstairs. All good and will stay again instead of a motel/hotel on the island.

I've stayed multiple times. This last time was a nightmare. Grease was still splattered on the wall behind the stove, kinda reminded me of vomited at first sight. There were bugs in the restroom. The Livingroom lamp has a short some where in the electric. This was by far the worst room ever booked on Jekyll Island.

The pictures posted here on Travelocity are not what you get. There is NO DIRECT BEACH ACCESS. Our unit was extremely dated and the bathroom was gross. The pool is small and surrounded by trees which doesn’t allow sun in. Jekyll island is beautiful but I would stay elsewhere in the future.

Thanks for staying with us. We do have direct beach access. We apologize that you could not find it. Our pool is larger than most pools and it is partially shaded by beautiful oak trees.

Next to the ocean, decent pool, lots of trees. Easy access to bike trails and driftwood beach.

The staff member who checked me in was very rude. It set the tone for our stay and things just weren't right. We go to Jekyll every year and love it. This was our first time staying here and it will be the last.
