Getaway with my husband

The condo was perfect. It was quiet and the views were amazing. The only thing we didn’t like was we couldn’t get past the rocks that are now preventing erosion.

My husband grew up going to Jekyll island on vacation and he brought me in 2020. We’ve visited every year since. The condo was nice but a little too small and too far away from the rest of the island for our liking.

Great spot for a restful get-away.

Not super spacious however it is adequate and relatively quiet. We had a little confusion in finding the key card for pool area and laundry. Peaceful sunrise views from the back patio. Short walk to interesting Driftwood beach. Easy drive to dining options and all the historical interests of Jeykll Island.

A slice of paradise on Jekyll Island

Wonderful condo/villa with prime location. The condo has everything you need for cooking...pots/pans, utensils, serving ware, spices, coffee and more! They also provide plenty of beach chairs and floats for outdoor fun at the pool or beach. The unit was very clean, and organized with comfortable and nice furniture, plenty of towels and toiletries too. It is part of a hotel so you even have the convenience of amenities like a restaurant (open dinner hours only), a business center, and a small gift shop. You can also rent bikes from the hotel lobby. Parking was plentiful and the property overall was beautiful.

Beautiful View and Location

My husband and I were very impressed with this rental. We easily accessed Driftwood Beach which allows for a long walk or run on the beach. The condo offered everything we needed and was well maintained. I highly recommend waking up early to watch the sunrise on the patio.

Beautiful ocean view!

Villas by the Sea is a large condo community. This unit is as close to the ocean as one can get. It was perfect for the two of us and our two pups. Walking the dogs was easy, people were from all over and very friendly, property was clean and well kept. This decor in this unit was charming and everything was exactly as outlined in the description. A perfect getaway for any time of year!

Couldn't get more peaceful location!

Have been traveling east coast this winter & when we visited Jekyll Island we said "ahh....now this is relaxing...sure wish we could stay here". As it turned out, on our return trip we were able to get 3 days here and it was great! Driftwood Beach was awesome, as was Dolphin Sight Seeing Tour. Only confusion we had was that washer & dryer are not in the unit but in another building 100 yds away (which was not a big deal).

Beautiful Island Escape

Two adults and one dog. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. Best feature: Location! Sit on the back patio and take in all the wonder, including sights of the beautiful sunrise and calming sound of the sea. The location is ideal for long, peaceful walks on Driftwood Beach. Try to catch it at sunrise. The inside of the unit is tastefully decorated and well equipped for every day living. It is not overly spacious but the owners were creative with putting it all together, especially providing enough storage for clothes and toiletries. We appreciated onsite bike rentals and the great pool. We had two minor issues and the owner was very responsive. We would definitely recommend the unit for a couple or family with small children. for an it at sunrisecalming
