Beautiful week on Jekyll Island
The Villas was a great location. Our condo was clean and cozy, a bit outdated but comfortable. My only complaints are that the pool was not heated and we had limited access to the beach. Hopefully the stairs are repaired soon.Loved the easy walk to Driftwood beach, and access to the bike path. We biked everywhere

Villa by the sea stay
The property was beautiful and the condo was as listed except for a few items missing that we expected to be in the condo such as standard cleaning supplies (garbage bags for one). Overall a very nice place and we greatly enjoyed our visit.

Sept. Stay
Had to wipe counter and table when we
first got there they were dirty.
Downstairs bathroom has mold that you can be smell.
Paint peeling off wall in upstairs bathroom.
The last night there a very large spider came out from under the couch. Upon killing this spider discovered that the furniture hasn’t been moved to clean, more spider webs and dusty.
Positive note dear came by every night to eat the fruit that had fallin off the tree

Jekyll Island for the Win
This is the third year in a row that we've stayed at Villas By the Sea - absolutely beautiful location. If you are looking for a "non-touristy" & family-friendly place that's oceanfront, this is the place to stay.

View Ocean Waves and Beautiful Sunrise Right Outside the Back Door
We had a very relaxing time ! We especially enjoyed the close proximity to Driftwood Beach and the views from both decks were just what we needed! Plenty of birds feeding in the ocean and flying over the sea ! March was perfect weather for walking the beach and lunch on the balcony!
