Reel Life - Beach Cottage

RENOVATED, STYLISH AND RIGHT BY BEACH ACCESS!

This 4 bedroom 2 bathroom completely renovated beach house is just one block from the beach. Located right on Beachview Drive you can walk to Beach Access #16 within 3-4 minutes.

From the moment you walk inside, you have a different experience - modern + beach house that is perfect for smaller families or larger families up to 10 people. Two room are equipped with King beds, 1 room has a Queen and the last room has four single twin bunk beds for the kiddos. We even have bunk bed bumpers at the home to help with safety. We also have a baby bathtub, child bike seats and a stroller. There are lots of board games that adults and kids alike can enjoy.

There's a Roku TV in every room so you can stream your favorite programs on those (hopefully not many) rainy days or evenings while you are relaxing.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to whip up a gourmet meal. There is a drip coffee / Keurig combo available for your use.

Outside is where so much of the vacation magic happens! There is a fire pit surrounded by seating, a propane grill, patio table and umbrellas. We also have an outdoor shower for you to clean off at after a day at the beach or if your pups are running around getting dirty outside (we know, Fido would NEVER do that!).

We also offer a free pool pass to enjoy the pool at the Holiday Inn. You also have access to fitness amenities at Holiday Inn such as water aerobics, yoga, etc.

There are bikes for you to enjoy some of the best bike paths SE Georgia offers. We also have beach chairs and beach towels at the home for you to use, free of charge.

Excellent value for a large family

This is the fifth property we've stayed at on Jekyll over the past 5 years and the best value overall. Location is excellent with an easy walk to the beach anytime other than high tide. The property is fenced and several bikes were provided, making the stay very comfortable for our large family who brought along our dog. The living / dining / kitchen is adequate for a large group but worth the tradeoff to have 7 different beds (four bunks, one queen, two king) which made sleeping for our large group very comfortable. The property manager was great. Check-in and check-out were easy. The property was clean. We love Jekyll and would gladly stay here again on our next visit.

Loved our weekend stay at Reel Life. It was a wonderful place for our family- with short distance to the beach/ short drive to places to explore. The backyard was so nice for kids to play or relax . Would love to come back soon

We enjoyed our stay.

Reel Life Cottage gets our 5 star review. We have seldom enjoyed a rental that was better outfitted for our needs and comfort. General: cottage is lovely, easy to find, easy to get into, immaculate, comfortable and contained an abundance of towels, pillows and the like. Everything was found to be in perfect working order, with the amusing exception of the two large bedroom fan/lights in different bedrooms both responding to both remotes! Luckily, we didn’t need the fans, so we just used wall switches for the lights. Notes for prospective renters: 1. The coffee maker at the time of our visit is a dual drip/Keurig. We brought refillable k-cups and they worked great to let us use the coffee of our choice. 2. Municipal water is less than wonderful, so we bought bottled water. 3. There were few options for sealed storage for meal leftovers. 4. While there are 4 bikes available for use, at the time of our visit, two appeared to be rather unusable and all looked to be in need of maintenance. We had anticipated that likelihood and rented bikes in Savannah (brought with us a trunk rack for our rental car - highly recommend Savannah On Wheels!)

Nice setup

Nice clean house. House is clean and well maintained. Backyard is great with plenty of seating and nice fire pit. Every room is equipped with a tv and living room has a lot of space. Only complaint is the fans in all rooms are remote however the remote works all of them so you turn one on, they all come on.

Missed Opportunity

This was a long awaited 40th birthday (for me) and 20th anniversary (for mom) combo family vacation that we've never had growing up. Unfortunately, hurricane Helene just wreaked havoc on our plans in the ability to make the drive to our stay. With a consistent week's communication of loads of sent evidence, and the understanding, assistance, and policy from VRBO, the host was kind enough to agree to reimburse us for the missed opportunity. We are hoping to try again soon.
