Location: Jekyll Island, Coastal, Georgia, USA (1 Hour from Savannah, GA or Jacksonville, FL)
Accommodations: Studio, + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Keywords: Studio Loft
We invite you to visit "ALOFT." We're located in a state park, and only 35% of Jekyll Island can be developed. We are surrounded by marshlands and the sea. Our property is situated on a quiet street, nestled between the marshlands and stately oak and pine forests. This beautiful 1000 square foot loft has a private entrance and on-site parking.
Just one minute away you'll discover the 18 miles of bike trails surrounding the island. You can bike to the fishing pier and beach and arrive in five minutes. Or, you may want to visit the Historic District, where over 300 millionaires once lived. They built homes and a Club House on our island, beginning in 1888. They typically spent 3-5 months down here yearly for the next 54 years. Their homes are being restored and many can be visited and appreciated.
We also have a world renowned Sea Turtle Center, where injured and sick turtles are flown in for surgeries and rehabilitation, and later released back to the sea. Bike toward the south and visit the Tidelands Nature Center, enjoy bird and wildlife viewing, or swim and sunbath on our 12 miles of white sand beaches. We have a seasonal Summer Waves Water Park, four famous golf courses, Red-bug Motorcar rentals, and carriage rides and trolley tours. Also, for the adventurous, scout out the hideaways of our local alligators! All this and so much more!
All activities are within minutes. Bed linens, towels and kitchen items are furnished. You bring food, toiletries and enjoy.
A 50% deposit is required for all stays and the balance is due 14 days prior to arrival.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
Pam and Michael Mueller have lived in coastal Georgia for ten years. They met here in 1988, while studying law enforcement at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick, GA. At that point, they made a pact that if they were to marry one day, they would return to live in the Golden Isles. Seven years later their dreams came true! Michael continues working with law enforcement, now teaching Physical Training to Homeland Security students at FLETC. Pamela has become a children's author. She has written eight award-winning books and will release her first adult book in 2010. The Muellers bought a home with an "undeveloped" loft and decided to refurbish it and turn it into a rental unit. This has turned into a delightful abode, and they very much enjoy sharing their little piece of paradise with others.
Why the Owner Chose Jekyll Island
We remodeled the loft of our residence for our frequent guests and visiting family. When it is not occupied, we wanted to rent it out and share the magic of Jekyll Island with others who yearn to spend their free time in "splendid paradise," which incidentally, is the title of Pamela's new book and tells the story of Jekyll Island.

THANK YOU for a wonderful stay!

Aloft exceeded my expectations...it is VERY spacious&open, clean, full of light, comfortable, and is rented out by two of the kindest and most gracious "hosts" anyone could ever hope to have. I truly appreciated the calm&quiet there....and waking up looking out into the trees! It's walking distance to a bicycle trail, where you can walk or ride (thank you for the use of the bike!) under gorgeous old oaks and have a beautiful expansive view of the river&marsh&bridge along the way. The loft "apartment" is on a quiet street (great neighborhood for walking, too) that's also lined with ancient oaks, and it's easy driving distance (minutes) to the ocean, restaurants, a golf course, and the GA Sea Turtle Center & Historic District. I felt welcomed, at "home" in Aloft, and so renewed by all the natural beauty everywhere around the island. Thank you, Pam and Mike, for my wonderful stay in your special place!

Nestled amid the treetops, a spot of unique ambience beckons the city dweller to come away. “Aloft” was all we were expecting and more, including Wi-Fi. Thank you, Pamela and Michael, for sharing yourselves to make us feel so at home. We very much recommend “Aloft” as a delightful Jekyll Island hideaway for a couple.

"aloft" has everything you could think of to be comfortable. if something special is desired pam and mike do what they can to accommodate. my stay for the winter months was enjoyable and relaxing. personally i am into bridge (duplicate and social), hiking, kayaking, and swimming. there is plenty of space and the apartment is not boring, has a great setting with treetop views, private, and generally gives one the feeling of being in a treehouse. jekyll island is beautiful, historic, and offers a lot to do. it's conveniently located not far from brunswick and st. simons island. an ideal winter getaway. i shall return next winter. ted hutchinson

Our stay at "Aloft" was very relaxing and enjoyable. We had plenty of space for the two of us, but it would have easily accomodated more. We appreciated the kind welcome basket and place to park our bikes and great dining tips. We would definitely stay there again.
Owner response:You two are great! thanks so much for the two reviews! We'll welcome you back anytime. God bless! Pamela & Michael

We enjoyed our stay very much although it was short it was well worth it. We were welcomed with a "welcome basket" that was just too cute. Little things always go a long way. The area was quiet and secluded. Loved the decor and how open the loft was. We will for sure be back. Cant beat the no cleaning fee which is what sold us! Thanks again and when we return to the island we will for sure be staying with you again. Michael & Amanda

My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights and enjoyed it completely. The loft was spacious, private and relaxing. It had lots of nooks and crannies to do a variety of activities: TV area; an area for reading, an outdoor deck; a computer desk; a couple of tables for eating; great window bench, etc. We stayed during a very hot, humid time and the air conditioning was very much appreciated. We enjoyed the free wifi, the use of their bikes, the large and plentiful towels and the great shower, to name a few. Our hosts were wonderful and thoughtful, checking with us several times to make sure our stay was comfortable. The owners live on the premises--so if you have questions or needs, you can approach them.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Today was one of the most beautiful days we can remember. We saw the most beautiful birds (painted buntings) that we have wanted to see for a very long time. The beauty of Jekyll Island is like none other! Your home and "Aloft" is awesome!! I assure you, we will be back! Thank you for providing such a wonderful space to decompress.

The loft has been perfect for our family! We've been close enough to reconnect, but not on top of each other. It has everything we've needed down to the salt and pepper. What a relief not to have to pack every last thing! We are grateful to the Muellers for accommodating us with answers to our questions and for loaning us bikes! We've all fallen in love with Jekyll Island. P.S. the WiFi was a lifesaver! Many thanks!

Mike and Pam, Your loft is really neat---the quiet and rustic decor is a nice touch---we especially enjoyed the old woodwork. By the way, we read all of Kiska's books! Boy, she is quite an author! Thanks for all the extras, like wine and fruit! P.S. the orchid is for you two! Many thanks!
