The house is in a great location and we really loved Jekyll Island. The house is very nice, though there are minor repairs that could be made which would make it really excellent. The outdoor furniture looked kind of dirty and worn and some of the inside blinds were missing the wands to close them or had missing slats. Nothing major, but add to the impression that it's not quite being maintained as it should.

The positive of this rental is that it is in a great location, on the bike path and a block from the beach and center of the island. The negative is that it needs some major updates in furniture. If first impressions count, then it gets 1 star. Dirty outdoor furniture, dirty rugs throughout, some nasty pans in the kitchen, outlets that don’t work, pillows with stains on them, mattresses with urine stains. We stayed a month because of the location, but I bought some new rugs and pillows and washed the outdoor furniture coverings. I complained to owner on VRBO but never got a reply. The property manager did replace the coffee pot, skillet, and gave me some new mattress pad covers. The pictures need updated to show current conditions.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed staying at Twelve Oaks. It was close to the beach and our group of 6 had enough room between the three bedrooms.

We go to a different place each year. And I picked Jekyll Island. The house was furnished nicely. Our check-in was easy since you left the keys there. We enjoyed shopping, eating, and just catching up on our lives.

Place was clean and cute but had a horrible problem with ants! We killed about 20-30 each day .They were big red fiery ants that came up from the drains and bombarded the showers and laundry room . They were everywhere and all five of us that stayed there woke up with bites all over us ! Dishwasher didn’t work that great , had to run it twice, the master bedroom had previous water leak from ceiling and was molded . The guest bathroom had mold everywhere.

Very good spot

Just a short walk to the beach. Quiet during our stay. Relaxing outdoor area in front. Close to our interests ( golf, biking, area around Jekyll Island Club). Wood floors need work. The inset front door knob caused me to mash my thumb two times. Leson learned after the second time.

4th of July

The property does need some updating. The was mold on the shower curtain liner. There were places where large areas of paint was coming off. The house was at a good location and a quiet area. We had deer come in the backyard almost everyday. The outside seating area was neat area to hangout in the evening when it cooled down.

End of July Stay

The house was perfect size for our family of 5 and had an ample amount of kitchen items to cook meals. You could walk to a beach access easily. Unfortunately, the house is not as advertised. The master bed mattress is way too small for the frame and very uncomfortable. There is no clothes line to hang towels, multiple blinds were broken, and there is tons of paint chipping all over the house. The overall condition of the house was sub par.

Nice but needs improvements.

We enjoyed our stay in Jekyll, as we always do. We were happy with the house upon arrival, but as our stay progressed, we noticed many areas of improvement. First, the house was very poorly cleaned. A lot of dust and loose hair found around the house, including all over the sofa and under furniture. The blinds would fall down as we attempted to open them. The outlets need replacing, as our plug ins would simply fall out. Fridge was rusted and looked nasty. Most issues were minor, but should be required to maintain an expensive vacation rental.

Beautiful Island BAD accommodations

Terrible the house was supposed to be unlocked, waited 2 hours in cold weather for someone to respond then when we got inside a terrible odor we wanted to move but the representative said they had nothing available, we spent 2 hours with the doors open and fans running all bundled up, to try and remove the smell The next afternoon someone finally reached out to us but problem was not resolved. They brought a dehumidifier the next afternoon but it leaked out onto floor and never helped someone was supposed to reach out to me but still haven’t heard back, the only thing that saved us is that we were busy and stayed out of the house. Now that I am home I can still smell the odor had to clean everything BAD BAD BAD would not recommend

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort you faced during your stay. It's unacceptable that you had to wait for access to the house and then encountered such an unpleasant odor. We understand how frustrating it is to deal with these issues, especially in cold weather. We are currently reviewing your situation to ensure that this does not happen again in the future. The delays in communication and the problems with the dehumidifier are certainly not reflective of our standards. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to improve our services.

Disappointed

I would like to start by saying thank you to the rental company, Parker-Kaufman, for helping to make things right, as much as they could, with the property. I gave the rating a 2 because the condition of the rental is not at all what you see in the pictures. I brought my 11 month old granddaughter and this rental was not safe for her. The paint on the windows in the living and dinning room is peeling so bad you can pull it off in sheets The rug was so dirty my granddaughters feet, knees and hands were black after she crawled on it. The furniture is stained and worn. The pillows on the couch are made with feathers and there were feathers coming out of them every time we moved them. The outlet next to the dining room table doesn't work. There were dirty dishes and silverware in the cabinets. There was hair in both showers. The bed in the master bedroom does not fit the frame correctly and actually fell through the frame in the middle of the night. The outside furniture is rusted, worn out and filthy. Not a place to sit and relax. The back yard has poles for a clothes line but there is no rope on it to hang up your towels and bathing suits from the beach. I know I sound like I have nothing nice to say about this place but please, if you have young children, do not take them here until they update things. If you have a group of only adults, be prepared, you may have to do some cleaning and the place is not as nice as what the pictures show.
