The property was wonderful; nice and clean with enough of the normal stuff (plates, towels, etc.) to enjoy without thinking about the small stuff. Right near the ocean, so we got out in the early morning so we could walk out to get our steps with a cup of coffee. The island was good but also close to St. Simons and antiquing in Brunswick. We even took a day trip to Okefenokee swamp and a back water boat ride. A great place to stay in a great spot in GA.

We enjoyed our second trip to Jekyll Island! We really love the cottages and all that the community has to offer.The downside to our stay was that the gnats were really bad throughout our stay. The host did do what they could to mitigate the situation and brought over supplies to help take care of the gnats. I would also recommend providing a vacuum cleaner as there was a main rug in the living room and trying to sweep after children all week was a hassle. Other than that we would absolutely visit the cottages again and loved our week at Jekyll Island!

Sweet Getaway

We were excited to introduce friends to our favorite beach/island. This home was wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped. I especially appreciated the extra hanging hooks that were located in all the bathrooms and even some in the rooms. Given that you cannot hang towels or wet suites on balconies and porches, providing extra places to hang wet things was brilliant. Big thank you! It was great having a few bikes for our use as well as several beach chairs in the storage room. The house was very cozy and not a far walk from from the pool and beach access.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our second stay on the Cottages property and hosted all of our children and grandchildren with two adjacent cottages. It was very comfy and in great condition. Lots of places to relax and visit. Appliances in wonderful working order and enjoyed the lovely porches and furniture to relax on after a day biking and at the pool. Tad was very quick to assist with a minor cabinet issue and no problems at all. We have truly found our family tradition!

Mostly great

Everything was great EXCEPT the property bylaws preventing the storage of trailers on the property… my condo didn’t happen to have a garage, and despite having a two car drive way where my trailer I used to tow my golf cart would easily fit, I was not allowed to stow the trailer on the property… this would be fine if the property offered any suggestions as to where to put the trailer during our stay, but the rep I spoke with ( actually they texted me and wouldn’t answer the phone) offered little or no help. The end result was I was forced into having my trailer stored down the road at another property… it just seems ridiculous when golf carts are pretty much the norm these days that this high quality property wouldn’t be prepared in any way to accommodate, or even deal with, these types of situations

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a wonderful place to stay! Plenty of room for our group of 6. We had a little trouble finding the beach chairs and cooler, but I called and they came the next morning and unlocked the storage room for us and we found them. The property was clean and quiet. Bikes could use an update as they sit outside. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this rental!
