Great location

This was a great location. Quiet but close to all things Jekyll Island. People on the property were kind and helpful. We had a power outage due to ice/snow storm. I was impressed how everyone came together and were so kind and helpful. We are definitely returning!

Fantastic time

We stayed seven nights at Villa 401 and had a wonderful time. The little unit was perfect for the two of us and our two little doxies. Close to beach walkway and laundry and a 12 minute walk to beautiful Driftwood Beach. It was magical at sunrise💙. We hope to return next year.

Hould have been told

Would have been nice if they had let us know, prior to arrival, that Hurricane Helene had wiped out the beach access stairs so there was no on property access. We left early as we booked a condo with easy beach access and management basically told us “oh well.”

Nice stay but no wifi and poor cellular

Property was as expected in size and quality. There was no wifi and my cellular (TMobile) was very poor at this location.We had wifi available at other properties on the island so it was a service provided and available if the property owner chose to provide it.

Short stroll to the beach!

Loved the location. Our oldest is an environmental educator on the south end of the island and we booked this trip last minute to visit during spring break. Very clean throughout the entire condo, short walk to the amazing beach and beautiful pool area. We also were able to bring our dog.

Close to water, nice resort amenities

Only 100 steps to water. Resort has on site restaurant. Short walk to Driftwood beach which was really awesome. Loved Jekyll Island. Historic district was pretty neat. Resort has bikes to rent. Nice biking trail on island. Several restaurants and shops on island. Very relaxing.

Great stay for Holly Jolly Jekyll

Had a great stay. The unit we stayed in was lovely and clean. Ground floor was perfect for getting to the beach, bike riding and taking our dog out. We had an issue with the television satellite which was resolved the same day (we knew it was going to be raining the next day so we wanted to make sure it was working and didn't want to call on Sunday). Will visit again!

Beachfront

Great location, on the corner so no neighbor to one side. Beautiful back yard of trees with birds singing. Board walk to beach just a few steps away. Beach not great because it has a barrier and can’t get to the water unless it is low tide. Place was nice and comfortable.

Good property

The property is very good. My only suggestion is a softer bed. The bed was very stiff and caused my back to hurt. Other than the bed, the property was nice and very close to the beach. The 2nd key card did not work but that did not affect our stay as my husband and me would leave and return at the same time.

Quick Getaway with the kiddos

The condo is just as described. The only complaint I had ( and I had read before we went ) the pull out bed mattress is terrible. My 12 year old slept fine in it, but it needs to be replaced. The boardwalk is great ( day or night ). We walked to Driftwood beach, which is magical. Pool is great.

Very nice! Super clean.

Overall property was great! The only exception were the electrical outlets. They all worked but many would not grip the electrical plug. It took some effort to use the outlet. Failure to grip the plug firmly indicates poor electrical contact. This could possibly lead to overheating and potential fire. Yes, I am an engineer :-)

By the sea

It definitely met our needs, close to everything. The condo was updated and for that reason the new paint smell was a little overwhelming. The coffee pot was a little small but that issue was taken care of very quickly. The dishwasher did not operate properly but was being looked into! This is a great place for younger adults and children! We enjoyed our stay!

Would stay again, but have some thoughts!

Price was extremely reasonable. Location was nice. On-site restaurant was delicious. Check in / out process was simple! Condo was small, but plenty of space for 2 people! No lock on back door, just a stopper, but I did feel very safe. Pool is nice. Lots of construction going on, but nothing that bothered our stay! No beach access during high tide because of the rocks, but public beaches are really close!! Things I would note - would not recommend for more than 2 adults. Pull out couch is very uncomfortable! Bring your own hand soap, small coffee filters, cleaning spray or wipes, & extra towels (unless you plan on doing laundry). Small patio & not really a back yard - but lots of walkable areas if you bring your pups! Thanks for having us. Jekyll Island is dreamy!

Nice location

The apartment was clean, close to the boardwalks to the beach. Property managers are quick to try and rectify problems. There needs to be some clarification on the description, and maybe the error is mine. When it stated "Laundry" under the amenities, I took it to mean there was a washer and dryer IN the unit, which is not the case. The laundry is a coin operated facility in the next building unit (we did not bring coin). Simple items should always be in the rental such as a stopper for the kitchen sink and a kitchen towel. Potholders, in case you need to use the oven because the microwave is not working, or if you need to take a hot item out of the microwave. Wall outlets should hold items plugged in, needs new one. We felt this property could use a little TLC from the owners or managers.
