Great value

Very comfortable with helpful owner. Great value vrbo. Close to driftwood beach, but far from most restaurants. Beach erosion prevention on this end of island is a downside (not an issue with us). Would stay again. Thanks

Good visit to Jekyll Island

Location was a bit distant from main activities on the island, but very peaceful. Check in was delayed due to late cleaning. The location was very well stocked with everything we needed.

Great for a small family!

This is a great condo if you have a couple of little kids! The blue chairs in the listing photos fold out and make great beds for little kids. The playground is also right in front of the condo and the pool is a short walk. My kids had a great time and we will be back!

Great Coastal Gem

What a great place to stay that has everything you need. Close to all beaches including the amazing Driftwood beach, which is a short walk from the place. I have never seen anything like it. We would love to come back and stay again. Thank you so much for allowing us to utilize Your property. One to remember for sure!

Nice getaway

My wife and I have been visiting the Jekyll/St. Simons area for about 15 years and love it. We have always stayed at hotels on Jekyll and last year, ate at the Driftwood Bistro for the first time. We liked that area and decided to try a condo this time. We liked this much better. This time of year is peaceful also with little crowds. Would definitely stay again.

Business & leisure perfect getaway

The villa is beautiful; very cozy, clean and centrally located to restaurants and activities. My husband and I were traveling for business and leisure, and the accommodations proved to make our stay a relaxing, comfortable stay. We enjoyed some of the amenities. There is a grill right outside the villa where we grilled a few evenings. Two other nights we dined at the on-site restaurant The Driftwood Bistro. The food is excellent and the service is a 5 star. Owner was quick to respond to questions. We didn’t have any issues. Everything was in working order and made the stay enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Jekyll Is with Sand Dollars galore!

The property was as listed and was found to be nice and clean albeit smallish but good enough for 2. The coffee pot lid was broken but still allowed coffee to be poured without being spilled. When you open up the sleeper sofa, it is very difficult to get around to either the front door or to be able to open the fridge door. Again, this can be overcome with agility if more than the two guests in the 1 bedroom are staying here. There are a good number of steps upto this 2nd floor 1 bedroom apt. so agility is required. The apt. is in a very nice setting with a great restaurant right next door which helped.

Great Location - very quiet this time of the year.

This property was good for our needs and I was able to bring my small dog which was a must. The condo had great access to the beach and pool. This time of the year it was very quiet and we enjoyed it very much. Jekyll Island just needs more restaurants to choose from and a grocery store so take everything you need so you don't have to drive to St Simons to get your groceries.

Nice little condo by the beach

I really enjoyed the location and ambiance here. I was by myself, but it would be a good spot for a couple too. The condo has everything you could need plus you can use the pool at the facility, the bistro is right next door, and the beach is a short walk. Very relaxing, highly recommend!

Minor comments, but worth noting. The unit is farther from the beach, with no ocean view, than I had anticipated. That could be more clearly spelled out. Also, and I realize unit owner does not control this, but we were there week of March 5-13, I think not yet high season there. Week started out cool, got warmer every day. Thu and Fri it hit 70 degrees. They were cleaning the pool both of those afternoons, after days in the 50's. Not that we would have swam in the pool, but wife really wanted to lay in the sun and read. It would be different if it was outside pool service, where you schedule it and you get what you get. It appeared to be onsite staff doing the work.
