About this house rental

Jekyll Island is state owned, and as such, development of the island is restricted to only 35% of the island creating a very quiet, laid-back atmosphere. If you want to 'get away from it all,' this is the place! The beaches are relatively undisturbed, and summer is a great time to see the huge sea turtles come onto the beach to lay their eggs.

This is a vacation rental that's large enough for the whole clan, yet comfortable for one or two, and it's located in the Jekyll Beach area. The home has lots of living areas, including a sunroom that's perfect for games and entertaining. The dining room table seats six, but if there are only two, just sit at the breakfast bar. Jekyll's newest wooden crossover to the beach is across the street. This house is on the west side of Beachview, and is approximately 100 yards from the beach. High tide limits beach access to ALL homes on this end of the island but "all day" beaches are just a 2 min. ride, with great parking, picnic tables and a ramp.

There is a minimum rental of 4 nights required.

Come enjoy the beach!

The house was very comfortable. Room sizes were good. Kitchen is small but open. We enjoyed it.

The house was wonderful! Everything was clean and comfortable. The A/C works great! The only downside was the "beach access" across the street had missing stairs, so we had to walk down another 3-4 blocks for a beach access walkway that had proper stairs. Definitely not the property owners fault, just a miniscule inconvenience

The house was even more spacious and well-appointed than expected, and we all appreciated it. We would be happy to recommend it. The knives and pans were not the greatest, but acceptable for a five-day stay.

We love visiting Jekyll Island and this is our second time staying at this home! It was great both times. There is plenty of space, plenty of linens, washer/dryer, access to the beach. The air conditioner went out the first night we arrived and it was handled very quickly! Check in and Check out was easy! 100% would reccomend staying here. We may come back for a 3rd time in the next few years!

Nice house with plenty of room to spread out and a great yard. Not a fancy home, but comfortable and perfect for two active toddlers.

The house, while older, is very well taken care of, which is much more important to me than the age of the house. This was a "guys" trip for me, my dad, and my son (9), and it did not disappoint. beach access was close, and the bike trails run right across the street from the house. The HVAC worked great and so did the showers and everything else. If you are looking for a quiet house with plenty of living space I would suggest this house. The next trip we plan I will be looking for the availability of this house again.

The house was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We loved being able to walk across the street to the beach. The beach does disappear, but if you watch the tide times, you can enjoy a very nice private beach with no problems. The island has enough stuff to keep you busy. Love the nature on the island and the history!

This property worked well for our first time on Jekyll and to spend time with our grandchildren. There are three "living areas" that made it convenient for multiple activities to go on--TV, play games, visit, etc. The outside shower was very convenient. The home is older, and appears to be a work "in progress" as things are being updated.

The property was just as listed and even bigger than we pictured. We travelled with three adults and three children and had ample space. The property was extremely clean and well stocked kitchen with very easy beach access. We communicated with the owner and she even called us prior to checkin. Great experience and would recommend to anyone staying in Jekyll island.

We had a lovely 5 day vacation stay at this home on Jekyll. Perfect home base, great to have room to spread out. Only complaint is beds are dated and uncomfortable. We would stay here again.

The property was great. There was plenty of space. It was close to the public beach access. Unfortunately, the high tide and small beach required us to travel to the south beaches in order to stay out for the day. Other than that, I would stay at this property again.

The property was incredibly clean, and the location was very close to the beach. We did need to go out and buy additional toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, and toiletries. Typically I expect those to already be there, but wasn’t a huge deal. I would stay here again. Host was very quick to respond to any questions I had and the check in process was smooth.

Perfect location on Jekyll

Perfect location on Jekyll

My family of 4 spent Thanksgiving in this property. The location is perfect - directly across the street from the beach. The home has plenty of room for a family with teenagers to spread out. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and the cabinets were well stocked. The picnic table in the back in a nice place to spend the evening. We highly recommend! My only feedback would be to upgrade the towels. They were threadbare. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and we'd definitely rent again!

Our family of four has grown to love Jekyll in October. The weather is perfect! The location of this house is great. As another guest mentioned the boardwalk directly across from the house is in the process of repair, but the next one is just a few more steps away. The house has lots of room to spread out, a great little backyard with a picnic table, and the outdoor shower came in handy for rinsing off the sand. Nancy was a breeze to work with and even allowed us an earlier check-in. We had everything we needed and would definitely stay again.

Had the most wonderful time. Rental was the perfect place. Communication with the owner could not have been better. Ocean view directly across the street in front of property was just awesome. Loved the stenciling on the walls inside rental and the furnishings were perfect for a beach trip. Would love to return in the future.

Perfect for a relaxing beach vacation!

Perfect for a relaxing beach vacation!

This was our first time visiting Jekyll Island. It was a beautiful place for a beach vacation. The house was great and everything was as described. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. We loved having the sunroom as a place to hang out and spend time together. The kitchen was stocked well, also and there were plenty of cleaning supplies, towels, etc. The only issue we had was that the description stated there was private beach access right across the street. Unfortunately, that pier was closed due to needing some work done. We were slightly disappointed but understood that was no fault of the property owner. The beach was only a short drive down the street and well worth it. Thank you Nancy for sharing your home! We look forward to visiting again!

This place was great! So spacious and super close to the beach. Showers could use some updating since the older, low-pressure fixtures make it difficult to wash sand off. I really didn't have any other complaints and that one was minor compared to how great everything else was!

House could be better but we enjoyed Jekyll.

House could be better but we enjoyed Jekyll.

Highly recommend the owners clean all cabinets and dishes. All dirty—had to wash everything before using. Lots of room in house but best I can say is it’s a large old cheap motel feel. Most of the house is original; stove, door knobs, switches, etc. black shun under mirrors (where you can’t see). Beach access is only good for a couple hours—otherwise it’s under water. Had to load up car and drive to another beach to enjoy the day...at the beach. We only stayed 4 nights. My back could not have survived another on the beds. Overall, it’s a crash pad. Wish it was priced accordingly. Looks like owner is just milking the rental without putting any money back. Just hope I didn’t bring any bed bugs home. Sorry for the review...but others should know.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip!! The house was wonderful, kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed & then some! Plenty of room for my family of four plus a last minute addition of our 17 year old daughter’s best friend! Beach access was right across the street & for the most part, we had the whole beach to ourselves. We will definitely be renting from Nancy again, she was a dream to work with!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us
