Beautiful cottage. It was absolutely perfect for us! From the screened in porches with great views, spacious bedrooms, bathrooms and overall living space. This cottage offered everything that we could have needed/wanted for a great family weekend. We’ve stayed in many places. We were very pleased with everything, right down to the hooks for hanging our bath towels!

Amazing Getaway

We came to relax and spend time together the weekend after Christmas and this place did not disappoint. The porch with the relaxing seating area and the swing were phenomenal - we spent the whole time reading and soaking in the ocean sound. Could not have had a better time or experience.

Amazing stay

Enjoyed every aspect of the property and Jekyll Island as a whole. Traveled as a family (myself, wife and three young kids) and loved the location of the unit (short walk to the pool and beach) and overall feel of the community. Definitely look forward to coming back.

Beautiful home!

We loved our stay! A beautiful home that didn’t feel like a rental. Wonderfully stocked kitchen, extra linens, everything we needed. Just a few steps from the pool/beach access but still quiet and peaceful. The porch swing on the top deck was my favorite spot. Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful, well stocked, and family friendly

We stayed here as a family for my mom’s retirement celebration and loved the property. From a downstairs master for my elderly grandfather to a pack n play for our infant daughter this place was stocked with everything we could have hoped for. We were able to cook all of our own meals thanks to the fantastic kitchen and loved that we could all sit together at the tables for dinner (kitchen and on the porch) plus there was plenty of sofa seating as well to relax on in the family room as well as overlooking the ocean on the upper deck. The only drawback was the abundance of fruit flies that seem to be an issue this time of year. We would love to stay again if those were addressed!

Wonderful first trip to Jekyll Island!

Our stay at Ocean Cottage 120 was better than imagined! With two couples, it was perfect -- roomy, very near clubhouse and pool, bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, fantastic screened-in balconies on both floors, all overlooking the ocean. Onsite management was very accommodating, and the property is well-located about midway down the main beach community road. The cottage is beautifully decorated, with a great kitchen, and is a short drive to powdery sand beaches, restaurants, shopping, golf courses, and the historic sites. We look forward to returning very soon!

Perfect

Beautiful townhouse on the ocean. Private, clean, well-equipped. Five nights wasn’t enough. Note: Guests have easy access to the upper beach. No access to the water at this time. Not an issue for us, but might be if you want to get in the water. I will definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time staying on JI for probably 30 years. We reserved the cottage online through the PK website. While technically on the beach, the access to the beach was very limited and not necessarily near the cottage. And unfortunately, the view of the ocean from the first floor was also limited because of the height of the shrubbery in front of the cottage. For us who thought that we were renting a place on the ocean, on the beach, these issues were disappointing. The cottage stuff, furniture and rugs, were fairly stained. Pollen was quite heavy on the porches. And finally, the pool was being worked on (lots of cutting of stone or brick) during the latter part of the week, which was loud and caused lots of clouds of dust to flow down to the cottage.

Porches! Ocean! Pool!

Early June, hot. Great Unit. Jekyll is Cool.House:-End-unit with windows on the side that others wouldn't have is great for light and views.-20 second walk to pool, beach access, and firepit (use lighter to start).-Full screened porched on 1st and 2nd floors; right on the ocean with views and wave sounds. Sleep out there!-Triple bunk with 4th trundle bed in kids room.-Clean, good bathrooms and showers.Resort:-Huge pool and club house with covered area to hang, eat, wait out rain.-Club house inside is AC'd with pool table, seating, gym, and bathrooms. Employees there are helpful.-Beach right in front of units has huge rock barrier that kinda sucks, there were many days when you could hang on ocean side of rocks, but not setup camp. Public beach with parking a few minutes down the road was great with huge beach with no rocks and prime spot to setup camp. Rocks aren't a deal breaker at all, and I thought they would be.Area:-Jekyll Market is expensive but cool with shrimp shack, deli, drinks, convenient store stuff.-There's small shops there too, but we didn't make it around.-Fam said driftwood beach was amazing and found cool shells there; they went at sunrise and sunset to avoid heat. It was very hot in early June & warm enough ocean.

Jekyll Island Gymnstics Weekend

This property is lovely and just as pictured. Our townhome had a gorgeous view off of each of the screened in porches. It was close to the pool, clubhouse and firepit area. The kitchen was well stocked and the layout of the townhome was very nice with all bedrooms having a private bath, in addition to a half bath tucked away off of the common area. The property was clean, and nicely decorated but there was evidence of mild "wear and tear" setting in as often does in rental properties. We were a bit "iffy" on exactly what was included in the washing / cleaning between the visits. We ended up just washing all the throw blankets to be on the safe side. The location is on the north end of the beach which is a little more quiet and is directly next to Driftwood Beach which is beautiful! The community is a combination of full time residents, with only a percentage of the homes being rented. It is quiet and low key - and best for a subdued crowd. Bikes are a must while on Jekyll! If there was one thing I would have wished for on the property that would have been it although bikes are easy to rent just a couple of miles down the road. This unit has no garage so it would be difficult to have bikes available for use. If you like the looks of this listing - go for it because the property and area is just as described and access was a piece of cake!
