The house was super clean (and I am really picky about cleanliness!). The big fenced yard was secure and great for our dog to play and sunbathe. There are plenty of pots/pans/dishes to cook some basic meals. Bedrooms are generously-sized and the house has plenty of room for a medium-sized group. Short walk to the beach & beach path. We would definitely stay again!

Great property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Pelican on Jekyll Island. The house was very clean and located in a quiet neighborhood which was minutes away from all island attractions and beaches. Venturing out to St. Simons and Brunswick was fun as well. It is easy to build a relaxing or action packed vacation from this location. We look forward to visiting the area again.

The house was just as described and worked well for all three generations of my family. It was a great place to celebrate my granddaughter's7th birthday. My 10 month old grandson had a great time exploring and there was plenty of room for his pack & play in the bedroom. Very dog friendly, good location (a short walk to the beach) and soundproofing between the two units was wonderful.Fun was had by everyone from 10 months to 62 years!

Perfect escape

This house is a real treasure! Perfectly located, close to everything you could want but still very private. The fenced back yard was a huge plus, and our pup was immediately comfortable and happy there. It was a wonderful escape for us while visiting in town to see family. We will definitely look for this place again when we come to visit!

We could not have picked a better place for our stay. We have been coming to the island for almost 40 years. Sometimes we stay at my parents' home and sometimes we rent. The host was extremely quick to answer any questions. The house is very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for my husband and I and two of our adult children. In addition, we have a very large Irish Setter. The fenced in backyard was perfect. Fire pit was great. Bed was very comfortable. House is very conveniently located to the beach, golf course, and my parents home. So glad someone is willing to accommodate big dogs.

Great all around

This was a great place for us and our 2 adult children. Each of us had our own space for downtime and places to be together. We enjoyed walking and biking to the beach. I like that there was a little gate to put at the bottom of the stairs to prevent our senior dog from going up them. The hosts were very responsive to us and the house was everything we expected.

Wonderful Week at Jekyll

We have vacationed at Jekyll for many years and this is one of the very best rental homes we have ever experienced. Immaculately clean and well appointed for a comfortable home away from home. Check-in and out were super easy. The location is great, just a few blocks from the beach, the pool, and nearby resturants. We appreciated the generous provision of basic necessities and the well equipped kitchen. Our only disappointment is that the bicycles advertised in the home description were in very poor condition and not dependable to ride beautiful Jekyll Island trail system. Fix the bikes and this is a 10 star review!

Very nice place and a great value! Would recommend!

The rooms are nice and the downstairs and outside is great spaces to be. We brought our two dogs and the loved the long yard for playing fetch! Had plenty of room for our two kids, us, and my grandma. I would recommend this place and hope to go again since Hurricane Milton cut our stay short. We will be back next year! Couple additional bits for the owner: the grill lighter and stick lighter were both out. Back sliding door did not seem to lock Would like to see the following household items included: Scissors, tape, few more cooking utensils (mixing spoon, ladle, etc)
