I was very happy with the Villas by the Sea. Unit 185 was very nice. The decor was good, everything was clean, and worked good. I was happy that they provided some basics like shampoo (which some places don't). The view is also different now thanks to Irma. The shrubbery shown in the photo is gone and you can see right to the rocks and the beach. I don't know what is planned to fix the landscaping that was damaged. My only complaint about the property had to do with hosting of events. On Saturday night there was a wedding reception right next to the building the unit is in. It was done a little after 10, but still is annoying if you simply want to enjoy the peacefulness of the area.

I was very happy with the villa, the property, the attentiveness of Jekyll Realty, and the island in all. The view actually turned out better than expected, because of hurricane Irma. There was landscaping damage, but that didn't really detract from anything.

The only negative was that someone decided to hold a reception right next to the building. It was loud and ruined the peacefulness of that evening.

We rented Annabelle by the Sea. It was a very nice unit. The owners did a nice job of updating and blending the old with the new. The back of the condo is right by a shared dock and small beach. It is a common area so at times you will see people using the shared grills and walking across the back lawn. The checkin was very easy. The staff at Villas by the Sea were very nice. The Driftwood Bistro is onsite and was by far the best restaurant. Delicious food, wine by the bottle you can cork and take with you.

If I went again for a week I would want a washer and dryer in the unit. Other than that, everything was great.

This is the second year we have rented this villa, since we like oceanfront and 1.5 baths. A little dated, but nice. There was, however, yard trash right outside the villa, which stayed there all week. Also, on the Saturday night we arrived, there was a HUGE (200 people) family reunion with a tent and DJ with HUGE speakers turned up full blast in what was supposed to be the common area. That went on until 8 and was so loud we could hear it all too well even with the doors closed. After the party, the area was trashed. The manager has offered to compensate us for that night on our next stay.
