Great location, very small unit for more than 2 people, could do with new mattress in bedroom, a memory foam would make a huge difference. The sofa bed was absolutely awful, so bad we had to put the mattress on the floor. The non stick frying pans were in desperate need of replacement, only 2 sharp knives. Front room rug needs to be taped down as it shifted very easily and could potentially cause a fall. The shower has no pressure at all but water was at least hot. Another lovely touch was the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. A few upgrades and i would book this place every time we visit Jekyll Island

First night we didn’t have power for several hours as there was a huge storm that knocked out half the island but we know that was no fault of the owner. The place was super nice and relaxing. The pool was amazing and the staff around the villas were super friendly.

Fun Stay in Jekyll Island

Nice condo. Clean, well furnished. Good location near the ocean (to get to the beach, you have a short walk north to Driftwood beach). The condo is fine for 2 people. Jekyll Island is so nice - highly recommend - we did the bike trip around the perimeter of the island - very bike-friendly.

Close to Driftwood Beach

I enjoyed my stay in this apartment minutes away from Driftwood Beach. It was exactly as advertised. The internet worked well for my work-remote week. I also enjoyed the short walk to Horton's Pond and the bike rental from the front desk. The owner is very responsive and seemed to want to make my stay special.
