THE COTTAGES BEACH ACCESS:
The Cottages beach is approximately 2000 linear feet and has a dune area and seawall that runs the length of the Cottages oceanfront property. There are 3 dune crossovers to the sand area landside of the seawall that are always accessible, and that area can be used for recreational purposes. The access to the beach over the seawall is centrally located at the pool & clubhouse. At high tide, the water is at the seawall. The tides change every 6 hours from low to high tide. A tide chart will help you plan your beach time. The nearest beach park with ocean access all day is Oceanview Beach Park, appx 2 miles south just past the Holiday Inn. You may view all Jekyll Beaches by visiting the Jekyll Island website under the Beaches tab.

Excellent stay

We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and up-to-date. The location was quiet and peaceful. We didn’t get to use the amenities offered (pool, fitness room etc.), but knowing it was there was great considering how reasonable the price was for the rental. The free use of the golf cart was an added bonus. However, the battery really starts draining once the charge gets below half.

This property is beautiful, spacious, and in the perfect location! We were just steps from the pool and the beach. The views were spectacular. You can hear the ocean from the lovely screened in porch! Would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a comfortable and relaxing trip to the beach! And the golf cart was super fun!

Family Vacation

The cottage is very big, beautiful and very comfortable plenty of room for the 7 of us. It sits right next to the pool and club house which was great, we worked out adn enjoyed playing pool, the beach area isn't good for swimming but very nice to take a walk on The kitchen is stocked pretty good but lacking on supplies. We are given one towel, one wash cloth and no sponge. The bathrooms are the same one set of towels for each person, some spares. We brought detergent and used the washer and dryer. Great place and the island is beautiful to explore on a golf cart, which was really nice...

Lovely home

We enjoyed our stay so much we plan on staying again. Couple of things….pretty sure the golf cart needs a new battery, only lasted to half and then we just prayed our way back. It was still a fun adventure!! The dishwasher doesn’t release the soap so we had to run it again and just toss the pod in the bottom, no big deal at all. The location is PERFECT and this place and the neighborhood is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Great stay, but trip to beach was not longer than expected.

The house was nicely furnished and neat. Also, it was nice being so close to the pool and club house. However, the only downfall was that we thought we had beach front access to ocean but the access was walled off by a rock wall. The golf cart provided by the property came in handy to travel to the public beach areas. Overall, would recommend.

Relaxing and comfortable

We had a pretty perfect stay and our group included teens, and adults from their 40s to upper 70s. The beds and furniture were comfortable. While we were there, there were plenty of times when there was literally no one else within sight on the entire beach. Also while we were there, the stairs to the beach that are nearest to this cottage were the only ones in service which is a big plus. The cottage is within a decent walk to driftwood beach. We used the golf cart to go all over. The location of this cottage is the nearest possible to the pool and clubhouse and one of the decks by the beach. We chose this to save steps for my elderly mother-in-law. Know though this means that the bunk bed bedroom and the bedroom on that same side of the house get sounds and light from the pool area and one very bent palm tree that sways and creaks in the wind all night. It didn't bother us much, but if you are an entire group of light sleepers, it could be something to consider. From the bigger bedroom, the sound of the ocean definitely overpowered the other sounds when it was warm enough to sleep with the door cracked which was every night but one while we were there.

Absolutely love this place.

The property was super clean and beautiful. Access to pool and clubhouse was close and convenient. Check in / check out was easy. We didn't have a long list of "chores" to do for checkout. My only complaint would be access to the beach. There was a very nice deck near the property that provided near beach access and a great view but the stairs to get over the dune to reach the actual surf was broken by storm or surf and had not been repaired yet. The beach access was about 100 yards away to get over the dune to access the beach/surf. Not a huge issue. We really did love our visit. Jekyll is a wonderful place for beach and golf.

Family Getaway

The house was exactly what we needed for our first getaway since our youngest was born (she’s 14 months old now) the rooms in the house were spacious, the bathrooms were amazing and updated too and everything was very clean! We loved the screened porch downstairs and screened balcony upstairs to be able to enjoy the sunrise and views without any of the sand gnats giving us trouble - and it’s right next to the community pool with was a huge plus with the kids. Also - the use of the golf cart made it so convenient to go anywhere on Jekyll - we went up to Driftwood Beach, the playground/mini-golf area, The Sea Turtle Center, and The Jekyll Wharf all in our short 3-day trip and each was just a couple minute drive in the golf cart. The only drawback we had was: we picked this house because of the close proximity to the beach access point, but the nearby boardwalk to get to the beach was blocked off and boarded up - so we ended up having to walk to the very far end of the community with a 3 year old and a 1 year old to access the beach, which was not nearly as convenient as it looked from the original listing/post. Hopefully this community can get this boardwalk repaired and back open/usable quickly. Still an amazing 5-Star worthy accommodation and great communication from the property management team to make it easy and convenient every step of the way!
