The house is in a great location, with an easy walk to the beach. There was plenty of space and we enjoyed being at the end of a quiet street. Communication with the rental company was easy and they helped resolve an issue with the internet being out, before we even knew about it. We would definitely stay here again.

We mainly hung at the beach everyday. Did not use the pool, we had a 2 1/2 yr old and preferred the beach. The house was great.

Great location! You can see the water from the house, and it’s an easy walk to the beach. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to fix meals for our group. The rooms were a good size. We had plenty of space to gather together inside and out. Parking was great, too. I would stay again if we plan a return trip.

Perfect Location

The house was perfect for our golf tournament and team! Plenty of space and super convenient to the golf courses. Beach was right across the street and all of the shops and restaurants were less than a mile away! Nice back yard with a fire pit and grill. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to use it. We will definitely book it again for our tournament next year if available

Perfect house, will book again

Great house, just as advertised. Nice sized rooms, furnishings, and comfy beds. Kitchen equipped with what you need. We planned a short get away and wished we could have stayed longer. My party of 5 was thoroughly pleased with the house and location, it can definitely accomodate more comfortably... we'll be back!

Very happy with our stay at Newbern Cottage, though cottage is not the right word for the size of this house. It's quite large and it fit our family of 7 easily, with room to spare. We attended a wedding at the Jekyll Resort Club and chose a separate rental due to the number of people we had to accommodate. We had 2 small children with us, so the house worked out perfectly since there's plenty of room to move and lots of outdoor space. It's also a quick walk to the beach, which you can see a little of from the front windows. Lots of room to park and it's at the end of a short road, so quiet but easy to access. And only a bit more than 1 mile to the resort. Hopefully we can return and see more of Jekyll on our next visit.
