Loved the cleanliness, decor, newness, spaciousness and setting of this wonderful house. My family could spread out and enjoy some time to relax and unwind. Easy distance to pool, great view of ocean from kitchen and second floor bedrooms and balcony (with swinging twin bed!). If you want a large beach accessible all the time, rent a golf cart for an easy drive down to public beach. Loved this place and hope to come back regularly.

Liked: Amenities
Paper thin walls and noisy air conditioners/heaters makes for a less than peaceful stay. Love the ocean, but the construction of these condos is substandard.
Great stay. Not much beach access at the location. We had to travel to go to the beach. And no view of the ocean from the downstairs balcony. Otherwise the unit was phenomenal and the location couldn’t have been better. Pool was great also.

Home Sweet Home
Beautiful! From the attention to detail, to the amazing view, this home has it all. The kitchen is well appointed and it truely feels like a family home. There is beach gear and bikes provided. It is a short walk or bike to the pool and dock to the beach. Please note, there is not direct beach access behind the home and you must walk to the dock. Napping on the upper deck is a must! Definitely 5 star accommodation and will be staying here again!

This property delivers on what it promised. The Ocean is really in your backyard. The home was well appointed. Really enjoyed hearing the Ocean & being so close. I would stay again. Why only 4 Stars? The beds are small and had nice linens but were not comfy. Keep in mind, we are a large family. The smallest person is 5'6". Tallest 6' 4". So if your group is small in stature, you won't mind. The pool was fun. The entire community is cozy. I would definitely do it again, even with the beds. The place is "airy" and "feels good". The view is supreme on the 2nd floor, but it's not screened in, so take bug spray. But the swing is a gift!

We're so happy you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for choosing Parker-Kaufman for your stay on Jekyll Island.
We had a great week at the condo. It was very spacious. My daughters enjoyed their own bedrooms upstairs with their own bathrooms. Our 3 year old slept with us in the king bed in the main bedroom downstairs. We utilized the dining area for eating and games. We didn't really do much in the kitchen, but it was nice. The porches were amazing, especially the upstairs porch. Really a great place.If there are any cons, they would be slight. Nothing major. The tide makes the beach a guessing game for the most part every day. There were storms a couple of times while we were on the island, and the tide stayed high most every day we were there which meant the beach wasn't accessible. When it was, it was very much the Jekyll Island mud bath. Our family enjoys the southern part of the island the best in terms of beach, so that was a little bit of a letdown. We did have some trouble with the door code and the lock sticking a few times as well.None of that would specifically keep us from staying again.
Disapointed..Not Oceanfront..entire view is blocked on first floor. You have to go upstairs and outside..not screened in and no fan working. Very upset.
Photos show from living air condition area full view Not So!!
Our entire family fell in love with this rental...it was wonderful having the Atlantic Ocean as our backyard! We wished we could just roll up the entire home and take it with us wherever we ventured...unrolling it as our vacation home whenever needed. The interior decorating was perfect., especially the room colors!
Our only issue was having to leave voice messages with management when two issues arose: no linens were on the sofa bed, and the fire alarm shocked us awake this morning, and we had no idea how to disarm it. Management did call back and delivered the linens later that same day, and with desperate punching on the keypad, we were able to finally silence the alarm. It would've been nice to have direct lines of communication available during these inconveniences, solving the problems immediately, as was needed.

Perfect!
Our family has been vacationing at Jekyll Island for over 40 years.
We had not been there in about 12 years, so much has changed but so much is just the same. The beach was never crowded and Zachary's Fried Shrimp is still delicious. Not having been is so long we were undecided as to where to stay. Our parents are older now and we wanted them to be able to relax and enjoy the beach as much as possible. This cottage was the place! Everything was just as described inside and out, the screened in porch was the gathering place at sunrise, then breakfast with a view! Every room was decorated beautifully and we all rested well (great mattresses). Or maybe we were just exhausted from trying to cram so much into our days :-) Either way we hope to return to this cottage or maybe another even closer to the beach. If you choose a cottage here I promise you will enjoy EVERY minute of your stay! If you have questions or concerns Allison is the BEST! Response time was great! The only thing that was a little frustrating was just having two key fobs for the pool, we were a party of 8. Maybe there could be an exception to provide more for larger parties. E. R. Ivie Georgia

Thank you for your review. We hope that you will visit again!
All in all a great place. It was a very clean condo, beds were comfortable and the open floor plan in kitchen / dining room / family room worked very well. Personally I enjoyed the balconies, listening to the surf and reading.
The property management personnel were responsive as we're the HVAC repair company. The A/C cooling issue was addressed in timely, professional manner. The bicycles could use some attention and parking for visitors is problematic; nevertheless, I would absolutely return to this unit. It is a beautiful place to be.

Thank you for your review! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon!
I saw some other reviews mention worn furniture and yes, that is the case here - the cushions on the chairs, couch, and outdoor downstairs are worn and could be updated, but frankly, with this shower and view of the water - who could be concerned for furniture? The development is beautiful, pool was just right, and the multiple access boardwalks to the beach were great. We were here during the aftermath storm surge from the cluster of hurricanes off the East Coast and the water was wild and the view from this unit was stunning. This unit has two porches each with their own perfect view. We ate all of our meals on the porch with the exception of a few too warm nights. It was lovely, and a deer visited us in the evening.
Sidenote: I have never had such a wonderful shower in a rental and the closet is amazing in the master bed.
