We had a wonderful family vacation at this Jekyll Island property! While the house is a bit dated, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location can’t be beat—right on the ocean with incredible views and a fantastic pool that our family really enjoyed. The management team was responsive and helpful, quickly addressing any questions or concerns we had. Thank you for a great experience!
Very clean , spacious, and good location. Pool is very small, beach unacessable when tide is in. Very few TVs in bedrooms. Front porch needs painting and pressure washing. Nice kitchen area . Contact phone number for owner was incorrect. Number for Villas by the Sea. . Air conditioning worked great. Dryer did not work when we arrived but a new one was delivered in a few days. We had a great vacation at Jekyll!
We met a bunch of family here for a long weekend, and it was really the perfect house for a big group. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked, the huge gathering space was great for everyone to hang out, the heated pool was perfect for chilly evenings, and the location right at a walkway made getting to the beach easy. Overall perfect experience!

Family vacation
Excellent location, nice backyard and pool. The size of the house was what our family needed. The house needed a deep cleaning, especially the concrete floor. There were a lot of repairs needed. The closet doors in bedrooms were just hanging, therefore it was a safety hazard for young children. One set of bunkbeds needed repaired or replaced. We could not use them for safety reasons. Several lights would not work in the bedrooms. Outside was nice except for several wasps nest over back door.For the price charged we should not have had these issues. It would be a very nice place if these issues were addressed.
The property was very nice. Management team worked hard to make sure backyard was cleaned up which it was once we checked in everything was great. Only negatives were the bath towels were very small and old. One of the AC units struggle to keep up with the temperature. A few of the breakers would pop off from time to time. Would definitely stay here again though room spaces were great. Backyard is amazing.
We had our honeymoon on Jekyll. Retuned this year to celebrate our 40th with our 2 daughters and their families.Lots of room, neat layout, sunroom with ocean view, heated pool. Grandkids loved it! Perfect for our needs.
Amazing home with room for our family. Perfect location. Is beautiful, even in the dark. We had a wedding weekend during the hurricane and felt safe and happy even without power and phones.
This house was perfect for our family - 7 adults and 3 kids. Fantastic location. Beautiful views. Well stocked kitchen. Updated bathrooms. 10/10 would definitely stay here again!
Property was adequate for our stay. It’s very hard to find larger homes in Jekyll and one that was on the ocean with a small pool was very convenient so we could be together. The kitchen was open on the right as you walked in. Good variety of items, well stocked. The floors are all painted cement. Which works well keeping feet cool in the summer and clean up easy! If you like
The size of the home was great for our group and the location was great. I would rent this again, however I would like to point out that an umbrella for the patio would be nice for what we paid and the internet was spotty particularly in the afternoon. This was a problem for a remote working professional in our family.
This was our 2nd mother/daughter group trip to Jekyll. The house, pool, location, amenities and the island was such a great experience!! We look forward to visiting again!
Perfect location, scenery, spacious comfortable, accommodating house for all of us, 2 months to 67 years. Nice yard, pool, grill, on beach…. couldn’t have pick a better place! Looking forward to next visit!
We all loved staying in this home it had plenty of room and was well maintained. I had an issue with the pool Benji came right away and fixed it . We would love to stay here again
Great house for several families. Kitchen is well stocked and plenty of extra linens. Location was great! Should be noted though at high tide there is no beach. But Pool was a great hit!
Awesome place for central entertaining with bedrooms and baths on wings. pool was nice, but please make it clear on VRBO that heating it is adtl $50/day! Beach access is right out back, but the tides do make seeing the sand very rare. Other beach spots with higher elevation are very close by though.

Perfect location
The location was perfect! The layout worked well for our 3 families, plenty of beds, unfortunately they were very uncomfortable. The house was surfaced cleaned but could use a good deep cleaning. The house is not stocked with supplies so just prepare to shop on the way in and pick up necessities.
We had a house full of mature adults that came to ride the bike trails. We biked 60 miles over 3 days, cooked our meals in the spacious kitchen, and had a great time!
