THE COTTAGES BEACH ACCESS:
The Cottages beach is approximately 2000 linear feet and has a dune area and seawall that runs the length of the Cottages oceanfront property. There are 3 dune crossovers to the sand area landside of the seawall that are always accessible, and that area can be used for recreational purposes. The access to the beach over the seawall is centrally located at the pool & clubhouse. At high tide, the water is at the seawall. The tides change every 6 hours from low to high tide. A tide chart will help you plan your beach time. The nearest beach park with ocean access all day is Oceanview Beach Park, appx 2 miles south just past the Holiday Inn. You may view all Jekyll Beaches by visiting the Jekyll Island website under the Beaches tab.
DUE TO STORMS THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BEACH CROSSOVER TO THE OCEAN, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE BEACH ACCESS

Charming and Relaxing Getaway

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.

Vacation

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.

Nice place

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. JK

Perfect View

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.

Looks just like the pictures

This was our first trip to Jekyll and won’t be our last. Accommodation was perfect: just like the pictures. Spacious and clean. Only thing that needed attention was the outdoor furniture. I don’t think that had been cleaned for a long time. Kitchen was just what we needed; others may find it lacking if you cook a lot, but we ate out a lot. Still had all the basics you would need. The addition of 2 bikes, chairs and beach toys was a really nice touch and definitely cuts down on your packing!!

Jekyll Cottage 51, Round Two

This is the second time we have stayed at Cottage 51. There are a few more kitchen items which was nice and different living room furniture. We love the ground floor deck and upper deck most at this cottage. Owners really should replace all the throw pillows though and have the removable cushion covers cleaned. Havent stayed here in 2 years and it looks like they havent been washed since then. Interior walls could afford to be painted too. We were excited to learn the the rental now includes bikes, but disappointed to find only one bike had a seat on it. We love The Cottages at Jekyll but will probably look for a different one next round.

Perfect...almost!

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.

Beautiful!

Exactly as advertised. Very clean, everything worked, well equipped. Easy check-in, easy check-out ... super simple as the front door was equipped with an electronic combination lock. No need to collect keys or meet someone at a certain time. If we find a need to visit Jekyll Island again, this will likely be our first choice in accommodations.

Loved our stay at The Colorful Cottage. All was as advertised. I even slept on the porch bed swing one night. Had it been a touch warmer I would have done this every night! .

Nancy G.

It was okay.

The place was very pretty. However, the screened porch and upstairs porch got soaked during the rain, so we were not able to watch the rain. This seemed like a design flaw. Also, the obstructed ocean view took a little getting used to and it was a pain not having beach access on the property. Finally, we did not like having only a Kurig coffee maker.
