Best place on the island

We stay here every year. It’s very spacious, clean, and the response time of the host is unmatched. The amenities are easy to access and never overpopulated. The condos have 4 bathrooms, washer and dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. The porches are a great morning and evening hangout space.

Family Vacay 2024

The home was perfect for my family of 4. The home was equipped with what we needed and the AC worked great. The guidelines were simple to follow. Beach supplies were provided (chairs, umbrella, toys, towels). A few extra rolls of toilet paper would have been more convenient. The bikes weren't in the best condition. One had a flat tire and the others were on the small side. Wish we could have done more biking without the additional cost of renting them. Nice quiet neighborhood. Wonderful pool also.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a good experience overall. The gnats were a bit of a problem as well as the cleanliness of the pool, but it cleared up near the end of the week.

This rental was a very spacious, clean, comfortable and well-equipped unit. The location was perfect, close to beach access, bike trail, Driftwood Beach, and all that we enjoy on Jekyll Island. We made use of the garage for our bikes. We loved the bedroom balcony and the closed in patio. Our group was very pleased!

Fruit Flies and not true beach access

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall nice house however it had fruit flies all over for the entire stay. Not fun having them land on your kids and you while trying to eat and sleep.etc. I will say the team came out when called however never solved the issue. The beach access is a 2 min walk however its not the true beach as the tide hits the rocks etc moreover you really cant use the area to.enjiy you have to go to the public beach. Not to mention dirtier water and bugs.

The house was beautiful and well taken care of. My only feedback is that we were given one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. For a house that fits 6, this seemed a little sparse. Other than that, I would recommend!

Great Place!

Really enjoyed the Cottages. Really nice community with great amenities. The cottage was spotless and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything you need to make a great meal at home. A few overall suggestions… it would be nice to have at least one extra set of towels and pillowcases. The pillows were a little flat/uncomfortable but it didn’t hinder a good nights rest. We will definitely return and had a wonderful peaceful spring break!

The place was amazing! The 4th bedroom was a game changer for us. The pool expectation was a bit bloated by the pictures posted. When we went to the pool we were slightly disappointed because the pictures gave the impression that it was huge and gave space between seats. It was the opposite, but we adapted and visited more beach areas. The rules were wonderful (being courteous of neighbors was a huge attraction), but we were not sure if the surrounding cottages had the same set of rules. The trash compactor was blocked by people sitting in their cars on their phone and a maintenance guy. We were woken up around 11:30pm the first night by a group a few cottages down drunkenly speaking louder and louder. We were also hit with the smell of weed at the pool on multiple occasions (rules stated no smoking at the pool at all). People at the pool loudly cursed daily and one group began discussing “pornographic dirty cocktails” and menopause among other things in front of our eleven and twelve year old boys. To each his own, BUT be weary if you have children and are wanting to help them maintain their innocence. Incredibly this was around 9 to 11am. We had more discussions with our children about why people have become so self centered and hard hearted regarding their own actions in front of children while staying here. With children just please be weary with staying at the cottages because there doesn’t seem to be any consequences or enforcement of good behavior at the cottages.
