The place was amazing! The 4th bedroom was a game changer for us. The pool expectation was a bit bloated by the pictures posted. When we went to the pool we were slightly disappointed because the pictures gave the impression that it was huge and gave space between seats. It was the opposite, but we adapted and visited more beach areas. The rules were wonderful (being courteous of neighbors was a huge attraction), but we were not sure if the surrounding cottages had the same set of rules. The trash compactor was blocked by people sitting in their cars on their phone and a maintenance guy. We were woken up around 11:30pm the first night by a group a few cottages down drunkenly speaking louder and louder. We were also hit with the smell of weed at the pool on multiple occasions (rules stated no smoking at the pool at all). People at the pool loudly cursed daily and one group began discussing “pornographic dirty cocktails” and menopause among other things in front of our eleven and twelve year old boys. To each his own, BUT be weary if you have children and are wanting to help them maintain their innocence. Incredibly this was around 9 to 11am. We had more discussions with our children about why people have become so self centered and hard hearted regarding their own actions in front of children while staying here. With children just please be weary with staying at the cottages because there doesn’t seem to be any consequences or enforcement of good behavior at the cottages.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations, well furnished and plenty of room for our group. Appreciated the bicycles, beach chairs and beach toys that were left for us. Very quiet neighborhood, very well manicured and the pool was excellent.The only disappointment was the beach situation, limited proximate access to a comfortable beach setting,but we were able to find that a short drive away. Location is convenient to restaurants and the shops. First time visit to Jekyll Island and we willdefinitely consider returning to this property. Overall, an excellent choice.

The townhouse wasn't as close to the beach as the picture indicates. I did not like the way tankless water heater was set up to operate. Difficult to get and maintain hot water. When I pay the amount of money that I did for these accomodations, I expect to be able to lower the thermostat where I want it to sleep comfortably at night. I do not like being limited to 68 degrees.
