First Family getaway

This was myself, my son & daughter-in-law & grandson. We hiked and looked for things my son found on line that were hidden. We spent our time out and about, it was wonderful.

Wonderful stay!

Anchors Away was the perfect location for our ten day stay. The duplex was recently updated, very clean, and cozy. We were close to the bike trail and Beach Village. The neighborhood was excellent for walking our dogs, plus they enjoyed the fenced-in yard. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We are already making plans to return next year. Highly recommended!

Great Place to Stay!!!

Excellent proximity to beach and other island amenities. Place was extremely clean, well maintained, and stocked with all the extras you wouldn’t even expect (k-cups, beach chairs, beach towels, etc.). Would absolutely stay there again.

Summer vacation in Jekyll

This is our second year staying at Anchors Away. The place is well kept up and is perfect for my family. The fenced in backyard was great for our 4 legged kids. We were visited by deer each day which is a highlight for my wife. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay

The house is such a gem! Great location- although I don’t think you could have a bad location on Jekyll island! The whole island is wonderful. We came to town for a tennis tournament and even though it ended up getting cancelled due to rain- we still had a fabulous time on the island and at the home. There was plenty of space for us and we all enjoyed the home. Will definitely rent again!

Very clean, nicely furnished, great beds

This place was geared toward guest comfort. I can’t think of anything negative to say about it. The king bed was very comfortable, which sometimes is is not the case away from home. Four stars for location was only because it’s two blocks off the main beach road. Great place if you have dogs, The fenced backyard was wonderful for them. Highly recommend and would go back.

Older Home Nice Updates

You can tell the home was built in the 70s but they really did a very nice job updating the homes, especially the bathrooms and brand new kitchen. Some walls had some scuffs and things, and we photographed them upon arrival. Host was excellent and very responsive. One suggestion please provide more toilet paper.

I stayed here during my wedding weekend and it was also where all the bridesmaids & I got ready. It was the perfect space for us. The natural lighting was also great for a few pictures. The location was also amazing, very close to all the places we needed to go to!

Everything you need for a beach vacation

Anchors Away had everything my family needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The kitchen had plenty of space and all the appliances we needed. It has a nice grill and fire pit on the patio plus a hose to wash off our sandy feet when we got back from the beach. The beach is an easy two block walk and much quieter than the beaches near the hotels. Everything was very clean, thank you for a wonderful stay on beautiful Jekyll Island!
