Perfect Quiet Getaway
The property is a perfect location next to the water. Since my goal was to rest and recuperate, this was the perfect townhouse. My only regret is that i was too weak and sick to climb the stairs often. The 2nd floor bedrooms and deck had the BEST view and set-up to enjoy the ocean. The 1st floor bedroom and deck was nice, too. The kitchen had everything we needed. The Master bedroom suite is perfect. My only critique is that it is time to update the covers and sheets. When i am stronger, I will take another look at Jekyll Island because there seemed to be a lot to see and enjoy in a leisurely manner.

1st trip to Jekkyl Island
Loved every minute of our stay in this beautiful home. Our family rented bikes and took advantage of the trails to explore many attractions on the island. We did a problem that required a call for maintenance and, thankfully, the management company responded in a timely manner.

Updated photos needed!!!!
We have been coming to Jekyll for 50 years. My parents are now in their late 70's, my mother has arthritis which is especially bad in her feet and it no longer allows her to enjoy walking on the beach the way she would like. This is our 3rd time staying at The cottages because of the screened in oceanfront porches, from there she can watch the sunrise and see the ocean anytime she wants. This unit was chosen because of that which the VRBO photo shows. However, due to the the overgrown vegetation that cannot be cut you can't see anything. Another reason we LOVE these units is the downstairs master, the stairs are difficult for my Mom. She did navigate them a few times so she coul have coffee and watch the sunrise. We would have NEVER booked this unit. PLEASE update you photos for other families who may have older folks in their party that can't get to the beach as much as they'd like. We noticed the metal outdoor furniture on the back deck really needs replacing also. The unit is decorated beautifully and did have all that we needed.

Very nice house in great location!
House was clean, updated and well appointed. High ceilings on first floor made it feel very airy. First and second floor porches were the place to be - you could hear the ocean from both and see it particularly well from second floor. Easy walk to the beach (which is not available at high tide!). Driftwood Beach is a must see! I would recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Jeckyll Island, especially in late winter.

Semi Annual family trip
We rent 3 cottages, 2 times a year. The area is perfect for the kids to go back and forth with no worries and the cottages are large enough for the 3 cottages to gather in one for birthday cake and ice cream. We LOVE coming back each time! We are already booking for our spring/summer trip!

Very uncomfortable beds
Overall it was a nice place, but the beds are horrible. We stayed for a week and none of us slept good. All three bedrooms had crappy beds, hard as a rock. We won't be staying here again. But the beds are the only complaint

Nice but could have been better.
Gas grill was full of rust. Had to call management to get a toaster that worked and a pull chain on the outdoor fan. Pressure washed the outside of the unit while there and soaked down all the outdoor furniture and beach chairs with bleach and water.

Beautiful Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views
The cottage is just as advertised; spacious, well designed and beautiful. You can sit outside for hours and just look at the ocean and listen to the waves. It is so serene. Great location, can easily walk to the beach and the pool. The cottage has just about everything you need (toaster, blender, coffee maker) etc so you can just bring your suitcase, book and wine and settle in for a truly rejuvenating respite. Very easy check-in and out experience and timely/effective communication from the management company if needed. Highly recommend staying here!
