Really enjoyed the stay. First time using Jekyll Realty and really liked the property we rented.
The house was stocked so well but the info I received made it sound like I needed to bring a lot things. This home far exceeded my expectations.

June 2025 Stay
Had a great stay a the Honu Kai with family. Accommodation were great and it was easy to navigate the island. Enjoyed the pool, beach, the market and a few restaurants and bars. Overall was a very nice experience!
Checked into our beautiful cottage. It was full of amenities & very clean. Enjoyed the pool area, the clubhouse area, and the beach. Fireworks were beautiful. Have been staying here the past several years and will continue to reserve and stay.
Beautiful property very clean with many amenities I did not expect. One of the best vacation spots I’ve ever found and will certainly rent for next year immediately.
Our visit to Jekyll Island was unforgettable, considering it was our first time there. The house we stayed in was perfect for my family and me, meeting all our requirements. We had an amazing time during our stay.
The house was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is a beautiful home and close to beach access and a pool in a quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend it!
This property exceeded all expectations. The house was stocked with everything you would need to prepare meals and have a “home” feel. It was clean. There was plenty of space for the kids and the adults to relax. Nice pool area. Driftwood beach was very close. Will definitely rent this house again.
They was a hot water issue at a separate property we initially booked. Fortunately we were able to get switched to over to Endless Summer. The house and our stay was wonderful. Honestly I feel like this house is even nicer than the pictures make it look. It had everything we needed with convenient access to the beach. The only minor thing that would be nice is to have beach chairs for guests but other than that all was great.

October 2020 Stay
We had a wonderful stay. The property was very well maintained and fully equipped with everything we would need during our visit including beach chairs, towels, etc. The firepit was great too. The only constructive feedback I would provide is that the firepit was not working properly. Although it turns on, it would not stay on. We had to lean a brick on the knob that turns it on so the gas would continue to flow.

Reviewer Comments:
The villa floor plan was spacious, beautifully furnished, and well equipped with kitchen, laundry, bedroom furnishings, and outdoor seating.The community was quaint and lovely- nice pool! Unfortunately there was no hot water the first night; thus no shower after a full day of biking and beach...was able to remedy ourselves over the phone the next day by flipping switch for tankless water heater. Cleaning was not up to par, toothpaste in master bath sink and appeared to be tampon remains on bunk room bathroom floor near toilet; aside from those two things clean.

Reviewer Comments:
The Cottage was ina great location and well appointed. However we had constant issues with the kitchen, ice maker getting clogged, stove overheating and warning bells ringing, the microwave, toaster and coffee maker caused the breaker to trip. We were in the cottage or 8 weeks. There was some attempt to fix these issues, but only the ice maker issue was resolved. MWith our length of stay cooking was always an unwanted adventure. Would recommend only if these issues were fixed.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 March 2024
Thank you for staying at the Honu Kai. Both the Owners and Jekyll Realty have worked hard to maintain very high standards for the Cottage. We regret that necessary repair of a failed oven cooling fan during your recent rental resulted in a lengthy wait for replacement parts. The oven in Honu Kai has been repaired professionally, and a new 20 amp electrical circuit has been added to the countertop outlets. These measures should prevent any similar problems in the future. We sincerely regret the inconvenience to you during your stay with us.
Honu Kai has repeatedly received excellent evaluations since it was first offered as a vacation rental cottage four years ago, and we enthusiastically welcome you and our new guests to Jekyll Island for the remaining 2024 season.
Sincerely,
Jekyll Realty

Reviewer Comments:
We love the Hona Kai! It was so beautifully decorated and clean. We hope to stay again. There were some small hiccups with the check in -- the staff at Jekyll Realty was less than welcoming. Had it not been for one of the staff, we would have rated the check-in process a flat -0-. We do acknowledge we were 30 minutes late -- after a harrowing, rainy, stormy ride from west of Atlanta. I think it needs to be understood that some things cannot be helped. One roll of toilet paper for a 3.5 bathroom house is questionable. We did bring replacements pursuant to the email, but no initial set up seems very unusual to us, and we travel A LOT! We had zero luck with the outdoor fireplace, but we were pretty busy, so it wasn't a terrible inconvenience.

Having rented the property twice before we were expecting to find our “perfect” spot again and we were not disappointed. It is a lovely home that is beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything needed to enjoy a short or multi-week stay. It is conveniently located requiring only a short drive to all that the island has to offer. Although it is not right on the beach, it’s only a short walk away. We hope to return to Hanu Kaias long as we are able.

Great Family Vacation Spot
We stayed in Honu Kai, 6 adults and a 18 month old, and it was plenty of room with everyone having their own bedroom and bathroom and the 1/2 bath just off the living room and kitchen was great!
The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and open to the dining/living room for visiting.
The pool is perfect for entertaining all ages, it had a small infinity area for the grandbaby!
At night we sat around the fire pit to unwind from our busy day!
Beds were cozy and the condo is decorated beautifully! The cottages are a nice quiet family atmosphere.
We rented a 6 seater golf cart and it was perfect for getting around the island.
Owners were very thoughtful in providing a nice getaway- beds and couches/chairs were comfy, kitchen well outfitted, beach chairs and wagon. Was disappointed that gas fire pit wasn't working and screened porch furniture was very dirty with heavy stained cushions and dirty rug. Otherwise, very nice.
This was a great place for our family to stay for a long weekend. The townhome is nicely updated with stylish furnishing and decor. The kitchen is well stocked. Beds were super comfy! My only negative is that some of the cushions in the home and the porch had spots on them that seemed would have been an easy clean or replacement. Not a big deal overall. Otherwise, I highly recommend this property.
Honu Kai is a gem of a property. Location is ideal- short walk to pool and access to beach/ocean. Rooms / bathrooms were spacious and updated. Used the outdoor grill for an evening of dining at “home”. Loved the trip!
This property is an 11 out of 10. We were so happy and impressed with this property. We have a 2 year old and 4 year old and bring grandma with us every year to Jekyll. This house is fully stocked to make a family's stay great. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare Thanksgiving dinner from scratch. The decor in the house is so nice and pretty, it felt like we were at a high end resort. All of the mattresses seemed brand new and really high quality. We had plenty of space in the garage to store beach stuff. The back patio is fantastic and we enjoyed grilling and having dinner out there. We hope to make Honu Kai our vacation spot for years to come!
