First night we didn’t have power for several hours as there was a huge storm that knocked out half the island but we know that was no fault of the owner. The place was super nice and relaxing. The pool was amazing and the staff around the villas were super friendly.

Cute space, looks like pictures and as described. We could see a small glimpse of the beach from the bedroom window, in between buildings. The balcony is a parking and playground view. The beach area that is in walking distance from the property does not have water acceas, just sand acess. Driftwood beach is the closet beach with water acceas, it is walkabl (a little under a mile), however not our choice for beaching - (there's was people set up on driftwood and in the water). Food options on the island was plentiful, not the best or worst food I ever had. Overall island vibes was great and this was a great home base for our party of 4 two-night stay.

Close to Driftwood Beach

I enjoyed my stay in this apartment minutes away from Driftwood Beach. It was exactly as advertised. The internet worked well for my work-remote week. I also enjoyed the short walk to Horton's Pond and the bike rental from the front desk. The owner is very responsive and seemed to want to make my stay special.

Fun Stay in Jekyll Island

Nice condo. Clean, well furnished. Good location near the ocean (to get to the beach, you have a short walk north to Driftwood beach). The condo is fine for 2 people. Jekyll Island is so nice - highly recommend - we did the bike trip around the perimeter of the island - very bike-friendly.

Great location for the island

Why drive when you can walk to Driftwood Beach and Horton Pond every day! We loved this beautiful little apartment. The bed was comfy and clean. Plenty of space in the bathroom. The kitchenette had everything we needed and very clean. I loved having my coffee on the back porch enjoying the view! It's a peaceful area. The owners were quick to respond with my questions before arrival. We'll stay here again if it's available!
