Another great 2 weeks on Jekyll. The only thing is the cottage seemed to not have as much in kitchen items and cups as it did last year so if they could update that it would be perfect! Otherwise a perfect vacation!
This is as close to oceanfront as you can get without spending more on oceanfront.
Pros:
-Great location: Wide beach, not too close to public parking lots that get get congested,
Spacious, clean, well equiped kitchen and great location with ocean view. Couch, chairs snd one bed needs to be replaced soon but, overall, this unit gets a 4 star rating.
The vacation unit was in a great location, clean and comfortable for our three day weekend stay. I did not give it a 5 rating due to the newd for updating one bed and the uncomfortable couch. The other furiture was in acceptable condition (other bed and serveral living room chairs).

Reviewer Comments:
This is our second year staying at this rental for our anniversary. We thought we had found our yearly spot! But the first morning I found a roach in the kitchen. As soon as the reality office was open I contacted them and notified them. They were quick to respond and had someone out that afternoon. Then two days later I saw another one in the kitchen. We brought food with us to do some cooking, to offset the costs. But after the first roach, I lost all desire to do any cooking and I was constantly scanning the room for them. It wasn't until we got home that my husband confessed he disposed of a couple in the bathroom. He didn't want to tell me for fear I would be ready to pack up and leave. He knows me to well! When I got home I researched the reviews on this rental and saw where someone else in August mentioned bugs too. I love the location of this rental but I can tell there have been no repairs from our first year stay to this , I can only expect it may continue to decline.

We had a wonderful stay at the Guiding Light-Unit C. It was just a hop and jump to the beach and convenient to the village and restaurants. The unit was open and spacious, quiet, and suitable. Our stay was totally enjoyable.

Great location and easy access to the beach. Place was clean but it could use new carpeting and the living room furniture could stand to be replaced due to age. Overall, I would recommend it and will likely stay there again.

We have been going to this unit for several years. It has the same furniture that it had 15 years ago. It needs to be brought up to date. The coffee maker if a Mr. Coffee. No one uses that anymore. The majority of people use the Kurikg. The second bedroom had many aunts crawling on the floor. Other than that it was an excellent place.

My family has been renting from Jekyll Realty for almost 40 years. They have not disappointed. The staff is always professional, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. Property descriptions are accurate and very well maintained. I would highly recommend Jekyll Realty to anyone planning a Jekyll Island Vacation I brought some friends with me and they were very impressed and highly satisfied with the property and location we choose. There is a lot to do and see on the Island and anything you choose to do is very interesting and highly recommended.

This rental property exceeded my expectations! The location was great and easy to walk across the street to the beach with my 4 and 8 year old. The décor was pleasant, and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and utensils. This was one of the best vacations we have experienced.

We love staying at the Guiding Light! We have been here many times and stayed in this wonderful unit a bunch!!
Lots of pros and and just a few cons to this rental..
First - it was immaculate and NO bugs as had been mentioned in an earlier post - The unit is open and airy- you can see the ocean from your living room window. Easy access from you car to the kitchen which makes carrying everything in easy. Bedrooms are large - did not use the second bedroom but the king bed was very comfortable. Good internet and TV. Only drawback is that the unit is well used and could use some TLC - paint, patio power washed - just general up keep - I would definitely stay here again.

Lots of updating and a thorough deep clean needed! This property is very outdated, with cracks in the paint and old appliances that do not work super well. Bugs were seen crawling in the kitchen. Dust and cobwebs noted to be on the blinds and in corners. Disappointed in the cleanliness for the amount we spent.
