Great location!

We had a wonderful stay! The beach was within walking distance to the one on property and Driftwood just off the property. Sitting on the porch with the lush greenery was beautiful! I got to use the gym which was clean. Beautiful property to walk around. The unit had everything we needed. It was clean and just as described. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your property with us!!

Great place to stay on Jekyll island

Fabulous stay

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The condo was cute, clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation. The condo real-estate agent was so very nice when I called regarding a broken appliance and he sent someone over in no time. I’m already planning my stay at this same unit next year. Fabulous experience!!!

Perfect condo for a few days on the island

Loved that it was down the road a bit. Super close to the beach. Low tide is about 2pm otherwise you get to watch the waves crashing against the rocks which is still beautiful.

Jekyll Island Magic

Property was great. Room was as exactly what was expected. Beach access at property was limited due to high tide. Driftwood beach within walking distance. Didn’t use pool but was clean and inviting. Would be more than happy to rebook the room.

Honeymoon Trip

It wasn’t bad if the description was up to par and not leading me to believe I was getting a full condo and not just a one room space. Wish it would’ve been described better since I paid a good amount.

The condo that we stayed in was clean and had about all that you needed . The issue was the construction next door that lasted until 9:00pm Friday evening. I understand the issue to finish what needed to be done for the day, My wife spoke to the crew and they said it should only be a couple hours which would have been 6:00pm at the latest. I am not blaming the crew and I think the Host should have contacted us regarding the construction.

Nice one room apartment in an apartment complex

The room(205) is nice. It was clean and the lighting/dimmer is very good. It has a hot plate, air fryer and microwave. It needs a medium size pot as it only has a very small pot and a very large one. The refrigerator froze my food. I had it on medium setting. The beach is very nice but only accessible during low tide. The boulders prevented us from sitting on the beach unless we wanted to be behind the boulders which would obstruct the view of the water. Jekyll Island itself is beautiful and has a lot to do.

Good location

Good location, unfortunately we had some bad neighbors. If I would have noticed that there was a door inside the unit that separates this unit from the neighbor, I likely would not have stayed. I have not had good personal experiences with rooms like that, and I like my privacy (don't like hearing someone else's TV.. coughing, etc). The sound traveled very easily between the door and frame, and I suggest putting some weather stripping around it to dampen the sound. First night was ok, just a lot of banging stuff around next door but second night I barely was able to sleep because of all of the partying next door until 5am.. and when we finally fell asleep we woke up to people screaming at each other at sunrise. It was so loud it sounded like they were in the room with us. We considered leaving in the middle of the night... But were too tired to pack. Overall it's a nice place though and a little weather stripping/edge insulation around both inside doors would lessen the chances of a bad experience like this again.

Excellent location to visit Jekyll Island

Property was a great size for a couple. Small but usable kitchen for simple meals. Beach is an easy walk from the unit and is accessible at low tide. Short walk north to beautiful driftwood beach. Bike trail runs right by property so easy access via bike to the town center and fishing pier.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Villas by the Sea. It was peaceful and the staff was very helpful and friendly. This will be our vacation spot. Plan your beach time around the ride because the beach will disappear but the pool will be open.
