Ocean Cottage 43 - Dressed with ocean views..

This is a gorgeous cottage, both inside and out! We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay. First - the view! Beautiful, unobstructed view of the Atlantic from both the first-floor screened porch and the upstairs balcony with 4 rocking chairs. The cottage is perfectly located with easy access to the incredible community pool and the boardwalk to the beach. Its location on Jekyll is also super convenient to beaches (see below), restaurants, shopping, and bike trails. Next, inside - the home is stunning. Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom. The master bathroom is HUGE! The 2 upstairs bedrooms both have access to the aforementioned balcony, which was wonderful to watch the sunrise. The kitchen was perfect for our needs, and we loved the outdoor grill as well.

The only thing I would want to make clear to future guests is about the beach itself. The boardwalk crosses over the dunes and goes down to the beach during low tide only. We knew ahead of time that it's a "low tide beach", but it's definitely not the kind of beach where you can set up chairs/umbrellas and hang out all day. You have a small window of time where the beach is acceptable for lounging, and the sand is more like mud since it never has time to dry out. Fortunately it's a quick drive to better beaches! And, being able to stay in such a beautiful home more than makes up for it.
