Reviewer Comments:
This villa has little view of the ocean, no access to the beach at high tide. Yes we were told prior there would be construction going on at the villas, yet it was quite annoying sounds, workers, debris around, etc. Our dog was accepted but an apartment like is is not preferable to having a yard. Also the door opened by itself (you need to get it perfectly latched) so the dog escaped several times, which was frightening for us and the door was wide open for the public to come in and help themselves. Guests should be warned about this!! Jekyll Realty was very responsive to our needs but Villas by the Sea staff was unhelpful when it came to our room! The steps were quite steep which winded us older generation every time becoming tiresome compared to renting houses. The balcony position did not allow sun, so sitting there to enjoy the outdoors was futile. We love Jekyll Island, staying 20 times over the. years. I would recommend this for younger folks with kids. We discovered Horton Pond close across the street, we never knew before, fund to see gators. Always enjoy golfing. Fishing with Captain Eric was new this year and a great time. Although the winds were not favorable for fishing, dolphin came right up to the boat, we saw sharks, crab traps, were given way more information regarding the island and the surrounding islands history than we had ever gotten before, it wads great fun. I would suggest to anyone this more personal way of being on the water if you can afford it!!! Pizza we had from Red ? (behind the miniature golf) was excellent!! In the Historic District we love the Art Gallery, gift shops and fudge/candy store, yummy! Filming was taking place for the musical, The Color Purple on driftwood beach and will be released in 2022, produced by Steven Spielberg. I am excited to see the film where I can recognize this beautiful area of the island. We always visit St. Simons and took a short trip to Savannah.
