This is a beautiful, well-maintained ocean front property with incredible views (especially from second floor balcony) and easy access to the ocean just steps away. It’s a quiet, respectful condo complex located just the right distance from the downtown business district that one can easily access it, yet feel somewhat secluded at the same time. The common living space is well designed with comfortable furnishings and all bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and furnished/appointed quite comfortably. We loved having the golf cart to travel the island.

My family and I stayed here for spring break as we were visiting family in Brunswick. What a wonderful island! The house is everything you need for an active family. Great pool, beach access and great responsiveness by the owners.

Nice Cottage and View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is great. High ceilings, comfortable beds, nice touches like crown molding and plank walls are really nice. The view from upstairs is fantastic. The view from the 1st floor is no existent due to vegetation, but I knew that going in. The TV's in the bedrooms are small and dated. Overall a nice experience and great view from the 2nd floor.

1st trip to Jekkyl Island

Loved every minute of our stay in this beautiful home. Our family rented bikes and took advantage of the trails to explore many attractions on the island. We did a problem that required a call for maintenance and, thankfully, the management company responded in a timely manner.

Sunrises from the 2nd floor balcony are amazing and the cottage is really nice and comfortable. The golf cart was nice and we biked around quite a bit. I absolutely recommend checking out The Cottages and Parker-Kaufman for your rental needs.

Beautiful Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views

The cottage is just as advertised; spacious, well designed and beautiful. You can sit outside for hours and just look at the ocean and listen to the waves. It is so serene. Great location, can easily walk to the beach and the pool. The cottage has just about everything you need (toaster, blender, coffee maker) etc so you can just bring your suitcase, book and wine and settle in for a truly rejuvenating respite. Very easy check-in and out experience and timely/effective communication from the management company if needed. Highly recommend staying here!

Clean and comfortable

Cottage 53 was perfect for our family. Fully supplied with the kitchen utensils needed to cook family meals, except pot holders. Loved the air fryer! Had a few issues with the lock on the door but Parker Kaufman team was very responsive and helpful. Tips for this rental, bring extra trash bags, toilet paper, laundry soap, and bathroom soaps. Only supplies sample size soap and two trash bags. They did supply dishwasher soap. Also, bring pot holders and foil for grill.

Perfect Quiet Getaway

The property is a perfect location next to the water. Since my goal was to rest and recuperate, this was the perfect townhouse. My only regret is that i was too weak and sick to climb the stairs often. The 2nd floor bedrooms and deck had the BEST view and set-up to enjoy the ocean. The 1st floor bedroom and deck was nice, too. The kitchen had everything we needed. The Master bedroom suite is perfect. My only critique is that it is time to update the covers and sheets. When i am stronger, I will take another look at Jekyll Island because there seemed to be a lot to see and enjoy in a leisurely manner.

Updated photos needed!!!!

We have been coming to Jekyll for 50 years. My parents are now in their late 70's, my mother has arthritis which is especially bad in her feet and it no longer allows her to enjoy walking on the beach the way she would like. This is our 3rd time staying at The cottages because of the screened in oceanfront porches, from there she can watch the sunrise and see the ocean anytime she wants. This unit was chosen because of that which the VRBO photo shows. However, due to the the overgrown vegetation that cannot be cut you can't see anything. Another reason we LOVE these units is the downstairs master, the stairs are difficult for my Mom. She did navigate them a few times so she coul have coffee and watch the sunrise. We would have NEVER booked this unit. PLEASE update you photos for other families who may have older folks in their party that can't get to the beach as much as they'd like. We noticed the metal outdoor furniture on the back deck really needs replacing also. The unit is decorated beautifully and did have all that we needed.

Very nice house in great location!

House was clean, updated and well appointed. High ceilings on first floor made it feel very airy. First and second floor porches were the place to be - you could hear the ocean from both and see it particularly well from second floor. Easy walk to the beach (which is not available at high tide!). Driftwood Beach is a must see! I would recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Jeckyll Island, especially in late winter.

Semi Annual family trip

We rent 3 cottages, 2 times a year. The area is perfect for the kids to go back and forth with no worries and the cottages are large enough for the 3 cottages to gather in one for birthday cake and ice cream. We LOVE coming back each time! We are already booking for our spring/summer trip!
