Great Property
The house is absolutely beautiful. We loved spending time on the porch and walking to the community pool just steps away. You do have to check for the tides because you will not be able to go on the beach when it's high tide.

Great Place, some hiccups
My family and two other guests stayed for a long weekend at this property. It was clean, new, and well organized.
I would definitely stay again, but a couple of minor issues.
Parking at the condo was a challenge for anything other then a small car or two. My full sized truck would not fit and I had to park at the clubhouse which for this property was across the street luckily.
The back door was very difficult to lock.
The grill starter is broken and I had to use a lit piece of paper to start it.
The refrigerator was warm when we arrived and it took a day to cool down, we had bought $400 in food we had to keep in coolers for a day.
The AC was unable to keep up with the heat unless you set the upstairs and downstairs to the same temp.
We called maintenance on the fridge and AC and they checked both and found “no issues” so maybe we were being dumb about it, but they came within 24 hours to their credit.
No TV in the master bedroom was kind of a bummer.
Only 2 smallish frying pans.
Pillows in the master were uncomfortable so bring your own.
Got a “friendly talking to” while checking out as I had parked my truck with one tire on the grass to avoid blocking the street. I really tried to avoid it, but I was only there for 20 minutes to load the truck. A “friendly” older lady chose to tell me I was parking inappropriately and to “please don’t park on the grass in the future”. I just said thank you and moved on lol.
All these issues were not enough to ruin a great stay!

Memorial Day at Jekyll
While the weather did not cooperate, we enjoy our weekend escape flight Jekyll Island. The property was very well appointed and in an excellent location. The amenities were also great.

Great / Clean / Big Townhome
This was a great stay at Jekyll Island. It was a great house. Very clean. 100 yards or so from the very nice community pool. The pool was cold. We wish it were heated to enjoy it more. Beyond the pool was the beach. The location of the home is pretty nice due to proximity to beach and pool.
I had a few questions before booking and the replies were not quick. In past VRBO experiences the owners have been very responsive. As this is managed by a reality company I wonder this caused delays.
Overall a very nice experience.
