Main Living Room – Colorful Comfort at Sundowner Beach Cottage - Welcome to Sundowner, a Jekyll Island beach house with serious personality. Vaulted ceilings, bold coastal art, and midcentury-modern energy set the tone for your stay. This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s the kind of space that makes the whole trip feel special.
Indoor/Outdoor Living with Firepit View – Sundowner Beach House - At Sundowner, the inside and outside flow together—literally. Slide open the doors and step from colorful comfort to your private firepit retreat. It’s the kind of Jekyll Island beach rental where every space invites you to stay a little longer.
Front Yard Marsh View with Sydney Lanier Bridge – Sundowner Beac - Yes, that’s your front yard. At Sundowner, this Jekyll Island beach cottage gives you daily front-row seats to the marsh, with the Sydney Lanier Bridge rising over the water like a coastal monument. Mornings feel quieter. Evenings feel longer. And your vacation feels more like a real break.
Designer Kitchen with Coastal Style – Sundowner Beach Cottage - The kitchen at Sundowner is anything but standard. Mint green cabinets, open shelving, and warm wood accents give this Jekyll Island vacation rental a relaxed but design-forward feel. Grab coffee, pour a drink, or spread out for breakfast—it’s all part of the vibe.
Pool Table & Bonus Lounge Room – Sundowner Beach Cottage - Not your average game room. Sundowner’s bonus space includes a full-sized pool table, a second lounge area, wall-to-wall windows, and room to spread out. Whether it’s a family tournament or a rainy day retreat, this Jekyll Island vacation rental covers your fun side, too.

About this property

Jekyll Island Marsh View • 2 Living Rooms • Full-Sized Pool Table • Firepit

YOUR JEKYLL ISLAND VACATION HOME
Sundowner is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath Jekyll Island rental home on the marsh side of the island. With vaulted ceilings, bold color, and a view of the Sydney Lanier Bridge from your front firepit, this home is anything but ordinary. Two full living rooms (one with a full-sized pool table), a wall of glass sliders, and wide-open sightlines make it perfect for groups who want space to spread out without splitting up. You're close to everything—but far enough to get away with anything.

Looking for something to do your first afternoon? Book a spot on Jekyll Island Dolphin Tours, recently named TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best for boat tours in the U.S. Bring a cooler and whatever you’d like to sip on. Dolphins are basically guaranteed—but even if they bail, you’ll still have fun and a view to remember.

SLEEP IN ON JEKYLL ISLAND
• Sleeps 8 comfortably across 4 bedrooms
• The Flower Room: King bed, smart TV, private en-suite with walk-in shower
• Golden Room: Queen bed with attached bath and sunny style
• Orange Room: Queen bed, patio access, and playful color-blocked corners
• Blue Room: Twin beds, coastal art, and bright natural light
• Every bedroom has closet space, blackout shades, and plenty of personality
• There's mischief in this home. It works great for groups, couples, and is family-friendly—if your family’s anything like ours

JEKYLL ISLAND OUTDOOR LIVING
• Firepit seating under live oaks, with a marsh view and the bridge in the distance
• Front and back patios with sun and shade options
• Palms, pines, and privacy in every direction
• Private driveway with room for 5 cars
• Located on quiet Riverview Drive

Get out and eat out. Start with Zachary’s Riverhouse—just a 7-minute drive away—and make sure to sit outside. Order wild Georgia shrimp while the sun sets over the marina. For something a little louder, head to The Wharf for a low country boil with live music right on the water. Or slow things down with brunch at The Grand Dining Room inside the Jekyll Island Club, just 2.2 miles away. Built in the 1880s as a private resort for the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Vanderbilts, it now serves white-tableclothed, elegantly indulgent fare with flair—prepared for those with taste, but priced for those with sense. Worth every cent.

If you're up for a little adventure, grab a cruiser from Beachside Bike Rentals and explore the island’s 25+ miles of trails. Driftwood Beach is a 5-minute drive and feels like stepping into a black-and-white photograph. Horton Pond, just six minutes away, is your best shot at spotting an alligator. The bird sanctuary hidden inside the Jekyll Island Campground is only four minutes away and always full of life. Just go in. You’re allowed. Trust me. And if you like your detours weird and wonderful, make time for the Jekyll Island Amphitheater Ruins—1.6 miles from the house and completely overgrown, graffitied, and haunting in the best way.

Enjoyed the stay but there might be squatters?

While the stay was pleasant, this is a spacious beautiful home, we did get the impression that there might be a squatter in between reservations. Upon arrival it was noticed that while the house seemed clean one of the beds had been slept in and there was coffee left in the pot. One of the door was left unlocked and a window was found slightly open. We informed the host after check out and no apologies or discount were offered which is disappointing since this is such an expensive rental. For over 2000 for 2 nights I would expect someone would check the rental the day guests are arriving.

This place is SO COOL! Best view of anywhere I’ve ever stayed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from the fire pit looks like a painting. The home is quite fancy, but instead just feels like the cool kid’s house on a TV show. This was a really unique and special experience for my family. Whoever put this house together wanted you to get something memorable and out of the ordinary. Definitely coming back.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The power had just been turned on the night before we arrived. The house smelled musty, the toaster didn't work, the yard was a mess we couldn't enjoy sunsets for the ds bris on chairs and fire pit. I feal the property was not ready for guests at that time and we should have been rescheduled.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at this home. It had everything we needed and plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was clean and close to everything. We enjoyed the doors that opened up in the evening as we watched the sunset. The property agency was helpful during Hurricane Milton. The house is about a mile walk to the Horton House historic site and another mile from Driftwood Beach. There are paths right out the front door to enjoy the views even more. We definitely will be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family gathered from across the country for Easter weekend on Jekyll and we had a wonderful time. The house is impeccably decorated with touches from around the world. The couches and beds are extremely comfortable. There are tons of cooking utensils and equipment which was great as we cooked every meal at the house. Only issue we had was with the ice maker.

Oh the sunsets!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an awesome house! It was vey spacious and well laid out. The art work through was fun to look at and my wife even feel in love with one particular piece hanging in the dining area. The back yard was in full bloom with Azalea which seemed to attract a large variety of birds. The only issue, and this is just the nature of Jekyll Island, was that we weren’t able to enjoy opening the window wall as the gnats were thick as thieves. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and Emmons was quick to respond to any questions or issues. I would definitely stay at this home again.
