Let Kendall Cottage be your base camp as you explore of the treasures of Jekyll Island. Enjoy the hush of the morning with a coffee on the screened back patio overlooking the private heated pool. Bike, run or stroll on the marsh side paths, just off the end of the driveway. Relax by the pool inside the cathedral lanai enclosure. Prepare meals in the updated, well-equipped kitchen. Catch a sunset out the front door and settle in for a relaxing evening with a movie, game, or book of your choice.
The Space:
Our calendar is currently blocked until spring of 2026, while we work on some house updates. When completed, we will have 2 king suite bedrooms with private baths and an updated main bath. Systems throughout the house are getting upgrades and we will have a fresh coat of paint throughout the interior. Current photos are all prior to renovations, with new photos coming in early spring. Bedroom and bathroom counts on this listing are for the post renovation floor-plan. Message us for latest pictures, we would love to share with prospective guests!
Our private, screened pool is the certainly the highlight of the summer season. Play a game of corn hole pool side, float with a beverage or dive for toys.
In cooler months, the patio is still a marvelous place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The pool is open year round with a heater that should keep it swim-able in cool weather, but will not be able to keep up during cold spells. The heater is set to 84, and should not be adjusted or tampered with by guests. Service charges will apply if reprogramming is required.

○ 6 bikes, 4 adult, 2 teen sized

Our family enjoyed the easy access to biking trails and swimming in the pool together after a long day. The variety of board games and books made family time a breeze.

Thanks for staying. Please reach out when planning future trips to the area!
Four of us guys, who have known each other for 55 years, gathered at Jekyll Island for a weekend golf trip. This house was perfectly located and very nicely appointed for our visit. We will definitely consider a repeat trip there.

Thanks for the kind words. Please come back when you have more time!
This home was outstanding. Beautifully decorated, clean, simple, so many rooms and the screened-in pool was just a pleasure. The owner is accommodating and personally answered all of our questions AND took a very quick response to an unexpected plumbing problem. We highly recommend this property.

Dan, thanks for the kind words. It's great to have observant guests in the house that can help to be my eyes when I am not there. Please reach out if you would like to return. I would love to have you back!
We felt like Pete had opened his home to us… not just made a rental property! My family loved it. Didn’t have the grandkids with us, but everything was there if we did have them! Thanks so much!
We have been going to Jekyll for vacation my whole life and Kendall Cottage is my new favorite rental. The house was spacious and clean, with everything we needed for our stay. The location was private and perfect for all we wanted to do. The owner was more communicative than any other I have worked with. Would 100% recommend for anyone’s memory making trip.
Kendall Cottage is exactly what you see in the listing! Spacious, clean, quiet neighborhood, bike paths are very close, the pool is very nice. We had 8 adults together and not once did it feel like we didn’t have enough space! Check in and out were very easy. Host is responsive and made sure we had what we needed. We all loved the place and the island.
Our experience here was wonderful! The house was clean, the kitchen well stocked, and the house was just as listed. The communication with the property owner was excellent, communicating before our arrival, answering any questions during our stay, and communicating at check out. The house was large enough for ourselves and 2 teens, for getting ready for the wedding, and for having a small family gathering afterwards.

So glad we were able to play a small part in your day!
We always expect to have a great time in Jekyll, but this house was even better than we expected! Everything from comfy beds to fun bikes. We opted to stay in for dinner every night because it was so fun for the teens to play in the pool. The game closet was stocked, the beach towels were at the ready, and it was easy to focus on family time. The whole property is very clean and well kept. The pool was perfect for cooling off after long bike rides and beach time. We will definitely keep this house at the top of the list. Thank you for sharing it with us!
When we first walked in we felt so home. It was cozy and comfy! We loved all the games in the closet and had a wicked game of Blokus! There are bikes in the garage and we went bike riding one morning. It was also so nice to sit out by the pool at the end of the day and just chill. You won't want for too much when you stay here, as there is plenty provided. Pete checked in with us frequently which was a pleasure. It was a short stay so we did not fully utilize the property but will be sure to rent here again! Thank you Pete for the hospitality!

Thanks for staying. Please reach out to me for your next visit to the area!
Our stay was fantastic. The house is beautiful, very clean, and serene. The host was detailed and helpful. He provided great communication even though we did not need him for a thing. The manual was helpful and we found all we needed to accommodate our trip such as games, pool items, and even bikes if you want to take a peaceful ride. This home is great for families with children as it is very spacious. The heated pool was perfect, with a beautiful screened in patio for relaxing in the evenings. And to our surprise, not one mosquito. Our only regret is not booking for a longer trip. My husband and children all agree we hope this house is avaliable for our next trip.

We live in central North Carolina with two adult children who are looking forward to future travels to the Georgia coast.
Why they chose this property
I have had a connection to the Golden Isles since the late 70s when my grandparents retired to St. Simons Island. While the area, as a whole, has grown and developed since that time, Jekyll Island has luckily not kept the same pace as the others. In some wonderful ways, it is a bit of a time machine. Purchasing a home here is one of the many steps in my own retirement plan, which may take quite some time to fully complete. As the plan evolves, we plan to share this lovely home with family, friends and, perhaps, you?
What makes this property unique
Centrally located on the western side of Jekyll we are well positioned for adventures that many miss. The wildlife along the marsh is abundant and often unfearing of us as observers and companions.
