Our Villa by the Sea condo was wonderful. Awesome view of the Atlantic, spotless room and very well appointed. The folks at Parker Kaufman were always available and super responsive. Very pleasant to work with. Thank you all so much!We will definitely choose Villa by the Sea for our next trip to Jekyll Island!

We stayed here for two nights, and it was perfect for what we needed! The place was very clean, and the beautiful ocean view out back was definitely a highlight of our stay.There were a few minor issues worth mentioning. The coffee maker hadn’t been cleaned, and the upstairs toilet leaked when flushed. We also had an issue with the blinds, as the entire set fell when we tried to raise them. They appeared to be the wrong size and were being held in place with a cardboard shim. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but this could definitely be a safety concern.The only other inconvenience was having to return the pool keys to a separate location in town after checkout, which was a bit of a hassle.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! The cleanliness, beautiful ocean view, and location made it a great place for a quick getaway. Just a few things that could use some attention to make the experience even better.

Great Location

We had a wonderful stay. The property is as described and easily accommodated our family of four with two teenagers. Driftwood beach and Horton Pond are both very close walks and we rode our bikes on a nice bike path through the marsh to the fishing pier. We liked this unit's location at the far end of the complex where it was very quiet.

Almost Afloat

We had a wonderful stay at Almost Afloat. The only issue was when we checked-in there was a lot of water of the floor extending from the kitchen through the living room. Since it was after 6 (on a Saturday), we called the emergency number because we were worried about a leak. We did not hear back from Parker-Kaufman until Monday morning.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice quick first visit to Jekyll Island. The condo we stayed at was a great place for our getaway. Condo was in good condition, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped for any cooking and eating needs. Location of the property is good, close to Driftwood Beach, pool is just down the corner, and the views on the beachfront were amazing. An information packet was provided to us in the condo upon arrival, which gave us great ideas of what to do. There are so many places and beaches to explore. I definitely recommend a sunset walk on St. Andrew’s picnic area and beach. Sunrise every morning on the master balcony was superb. Thanks for the hospitality!

Great place

No one received our messages about needing late check in and the after hours number on our check in instructions was incorrect. It was 2am before we got into the condo. Once we were in the property was lovely and the stay was super nice!

Beautiful location. Wonderful time with family on Island

Plenty of bath towels but one kitchen towel and wash rag for the week was not enough. Very basic kitchen items. The Biggest problem was "critters" ! we thought we heard scratching in the ceiling at night. When we woke up, a bun I has in a ziplock bag that I had left of the counter was now on the floor. The bag had been torn into, the top bun was gone and the bottom bun was half gone!! We made sure not to accidently leave food out for the remainder of our vacation.
