You can’t beat the view! We stayed here with my parents for the shrimp and grits festival! The location was perfect! We parked our cars when we arrived and bikes everywhere we wanted to go.

Fantastic first time Jekyll Island vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation stay at Bill Smith A. The location is perfect being centrally located on the island and beach access directly across the street. We enjoyed sitting and eating dinner on the screened in porch with direct view of the ocean. Plenty of seating in the family room to relax. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Jekyll Island.

Great Location

We absolutely loved our first time in Jekyll Island and this place is a great central location, so it’s close to anything on the island. Back screened porch has a great view of the ocean as nothing is developed across the street. Lots of wildlife around .. always got visits from deer in the evening. Will definitely be returning to Jekyll and will consider this place again as our stay.

Great place, perfect location! Not mentioned in the description is the beach wagon! My only complaint would be the lack of WiFi code. We never received it even after I reached out. No big deal , we managed without it just fine . Highly recommend this place!

Can't beat the beautiful sunrise every morning. Deers walking in front of screened in porch. Walking paths. Fishing, not the best. Bad no seeums bad at pier, surf fishing, so-so. Beach Village market? Go inland for grocery store unless you have extra spending money. You have my email address if you want to hear about my negatives with House A. Thank you.
