The units are beautifully furnished. The location is good, and the view of the ocean is wonderful. The DRIFTWOOD BISTRO is within walking distance from our unit, and their food and drinks are EXCELLENT. The most difficult choices were figuring out what we would do next:) OTHER, excellent restaurants we visited were Zachry"s River House. We could not walk there, but it is fantastic, and TORTUGA JACKS creates authentic Mexican entrees. WOW!! Most of the island's restaurants have inside and outside dining. Personnel are friendly and helpful. One particular gentleman who works at the VILLAS BY THE SEA is named ERIC SEARCY. He was especially helpful to us. The villas have many units that, of course, they look alike, and since I drove my daughter and son-in-law around, I became turned around a couple of times, but because Eric's job keeps him touring the villas for maintenance duties, he also keeps his eyes open for displaced visitors. He was kind and most helpful.

Our deluxe unit included two bedrooms, a queen suite, and twin beds in second. The latter was my room. It was fine, but the twin beds could use better supporting mattresses. I am average height and build for a sixty-five year old woman. Then, besides not knowing in advance that we were responsible for purchasing paper products (TP & paper towels) for our unit, and that Booking.com is not the best way to book this venue, (they and administrators of the Villas do not communicate well) it was very confusing knowing which entity to call for best answers to our questions, and we had to many emails between them. Still, I am glad we persevered. The worst part of our visit was having bad weather, and so it goes with vacations. We checked the weather forecast before leaving on our EIGHT PLUS hour car trip, but when one needs reservations, one plans accordingly. We were prepared, but it is sad when experiencing bad weather on vacation. We were blessed in many ways, though. On the third full day of our visit, we had rain throughout the end of our stay and planned around the rain. We managed to visit the GA Turtle Recue and Rehab Center before it rained, and it had ceased before we left. WONDERFUL PLACE! I would have loved to have stayed longer. A legend I heard someone say, or I may have read it, says something like, "ONES VISIT TO JEKYLL ISLAND WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER!"
