Squeaky clean, super comfy and totally updated, your cheery, ground-level (no stairs) condo at Villas by the Sea provides the perfect home base for experiencing the coastal way of life that defines Jekyll Island.
The Villas resort has the Jekyll Island accommodations closest to legendary Driftwood Beach, which is a short walk (just a few hundred yards) up the shoreline. Meanwhile, down by the Villas’ own lengthy stretch of beach, there is a wide, sandy promenade perfect for strolling and sunbathing, as well as an inviting new boardwalk and accompanying pavilion – complete with deck chairs – for getting into the laid-back, Jekyll Island state of mind. (Your unit also has beach chairs, beach umbrellas and beach towels available for your use.)
The 17-acre Villas resort complex has a large outdoor pool (open 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day; pool towels provided) with an adjoining kiddie pool, picnic area and fire pit. The property also features a basketball half-court, volleyball court, free fitness facility, playground, barbeque grills (with even more picnic tables), coin laundromat, ice and vending machines, bicycle racks, charging stations for electric vehicles (including golf carts), and wireless Internet service.
The resort’s welcome center is home to the popular Driftwood Bistro restaurant (open evenings Tuesday through Saturday) plus a 24/7 Village Shoppe for anytime sundries, snacks, reheatable entrees, apparel, souvenirs and other items. A conference center meeting room may be rented and has catering available. There also is a computer room
with a library.
Jekyll Island is the ideal destination for swimming, sunbathing, biking, hiking, running, boating, standup paddleboarding, fishing, golf, tennis, wildlife viewing, shopping, dining, and exploring the past. The Villas by the Sea complex sits about 4 miles from both the charming Beach Village and the captivating National Historic Landmark District.
