Our check-in went great. Tae was very pleasant. We thought our accommodations were great for the price. The 1 br 1 bath villa we had was great. Plenty of space great decor and very peaceful. It is very close to driftwood beach. Next time we...Read More
VacationCoupleLocation: 4Great just water pressure issues in the shower.Not a lot of activities in the island. Sea turtle center is great. Lots of bike trails. The deer dont have concerns about people whatsoever. The beach was nice. It was a rainy weekend so we really didnt get to enjoy the regular beaches but driftwood beach was nice.From the villas you can walk to driftwood beach. If you want you could hike to the shopping area but i wouldn't recommend it. A bike would be ok but it's about 3 miles.If you are looking to get away from everything and enjoy some peace and quiet then Jekyll is great. St Simons has more and isnt that far away if you need to have more options for entertainment and dining. Then escape back to Jekyll.Great view, Quiet, Great value

Been coming here since I was a little kid with my family and it is quiet and is good for kids. The two story condos here are good but watch out for bugs if you are staying near the playground or wooded areas because there...Read More

Great place to stay on jekyll specifically if you want a kitchen. The one we stayed in was 2 bedroom 1.5 bath. It is a little more than the hotels but you get 2 porches 1.5+ bathrooms a full den/living room 2+ bedrooms. If you're...Read More
VacationFamilyLocation: 5Our town home was 2 bedroom one with a queen the other 2 double beds i thinkOriginal: activities... How do you spend the day on Jekyll Island? What is so special about Jekyll Island? Who are the millionaires on Jekyll Island?  Jekyll Island offers a wide range of activities, including outdoor adventures, historical explorations, and family-friendly fun. You can enjoy beach time, biking, hiking, and watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding. For history buffs, there are trolley tours of the historic district and visits to the Jekyll Island Museum. Families might enjoy Summer Waves Water Park or the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.Most travel on the island is walking-jogging, bikes or golf carts. The highest speed limit anywhere is 35 but golf carts and bikes on the same road the golf cart top speed is 25 so most traffic on jekyll is under 35. It is also entered by a secure road through a toll gate, on an aircraft or boat.Exceptionally walkable the whole island road is like 9.5 miles in a circle with a cross road through the to the historical district cart paths and sidewalk on every road I have seen.Lots of themVery secluded beautiful scenery beaches restaurants a convention center a turtle center a small retail center it's perfect for a vacation family or solo on the low key. Everything shuts down pretty early especially on Sundays and Mondays.Great view, Quiet, Kid-friendly, Great value

I recently photographed a beautiful elopement at Villas by the Sea, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. We used both Driftwood Beach and the surrounding grounds, which offered a perfect mix of natural beauty and variety for the couple’s portraits....Read More
