First night we didn’t have power for several hours as there was a huge storm that knocked out half the island but we know that was no fault of the owner. The place was super nice and relaxing. The pool was amazing and the staff around the villas were super friendly.

Close to Driftwood Beach

I enjoyed my stay in this apartment minutes away from Driftwood Beach. It was exactly as advertised. The internet worked well for my work-remote week. I also enjoyed the short walk to Horton's Pond and the bike rental from the front desk. The owner is very responsive and seemed to want to make my stay special.

Lovely area

The condo was very clean. Stairwell carpet needs replacement. It doesn’t give the condo a good impression. Location was very good. And we enjoyed the covered area overlooking the beach. The condo itself was very nice especially the bathroom which was updated. Jekyll island is beautiful

Nice place with some minor issues

The location is great and we found the apartment to be cozy and generally well maintained. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had coffee pods and a few dishes, which we appreciated. It's decorated well, gets fairly good light, and the view was gorgeous! Laundry on site is great too, although it is a bit far from the unit. We did notice small things like wrappers, plastic letters, etc. under the couch and by the dishwasher, so the cleaner could maybe do a more thorough job. The dishwasher itself was also not well mounted in place, so that the force of opening/closing the dishwasher door would sometimes move the whole thing. Not a huge deal, but brings down the overall feel of the place when you have those little quirks to navigate. Lastly, I would suggest switching out the faux fur rug for a real bath mat-- the fur is cute, but not practical! Overall, I would recommend for someone looking for an affordable, nice place to stay.

Great location for Driftwood Beach

If you are wanting to take sunrise photos at Driftwood Beach this is the perfect place to stay at. It’s a 5-10 minute easy walk (don’t walk the beach all the way down from the pier. Go to the far end of the resort parking lot and follow the sign to a short trail). The room was clean and comfortable. Suited our needs as a couple, but I would not suggest having anyone sleep on the pull out couch. We opened it to try for more lounging space, and it is extremely uncomfortable. Also don’t plan on doing extensive cooking. The full size fridge is awesome, but there’s a hot plate and toaster oven, not full size stove or oven. This was made clear in the listing, I just think it’s helpful to point out for planning. We had an issue with the Roku which never got fixed, but luckily there was DirecTv as a backup. The onsite restaurant was pretty good. It’s only open at night, 5 days a week. But everything on the island is so close, it’s not a problem to drive to get meals. Our favorite restaurants were Eighty Ocean on island and Indigo Coastal Shanty in Brunswick was AMAZING! Overall we were satisfied with our stay and would stay again.

Great location, very small unit for more than 2 people, could do with new mattress in bedroom, a memory foam would make a huge difference. The sofa bed was absolutely awful, so bad we had to put the mattress on the floor. The non stick frying pans were in desperate need of replacement, only 2 sharp knives. Front room rug needs to be taped down as it shifted very easily and could potentially cause a fall. The shower has no pressure at all but water was at least hot. Another lovely touch was the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. A few upgrades and i would book this place every time we visit Jekyll Island

Cute space, looks like pictures and as described. We could see a small glimpse of the beach from the bedroom window, in between buildings. The balcony is a parking and playground view. The beach area that is in walking distance from the property does not have water acceas, just sand acess. Driftwood beach is the closet beach with water acceas, it is walkabl (a little under a mile), however not our choice for beaching - (there's was people set up on driftwood and in the water). Food options on the island was plentiful, not the best or worst food I ever had. Overall island vibes was great and this was a great home base for our party of 4 two-night stay.

Fun Stay in Jekyll Island

Nice condo. Clean, well furnished. Good location near the ocean (to get to the beach, you have a short walk north to Driftwood beach). The condo is fine for 2 people. Jekyll Island is so nice - highly recommend - we did the bike trip around the perimeter of the island - very bike-friendly.
