Welcome to Villa 336 – Your Coastal Escape on Jekyll Island
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so we’ll keep this brief—just enough to give you a taste before you dive into the photos.
Villa 336 has been thoughtfully renovated with a Coastal Living vibe, crafted by a skilled renovator with an eye for detail. You'll find beautiful craftsman touches blended with a breezy, beach-inspired style throughout the space.

Everything was just as expected. However, the one thing that needs attention, the mattress. That was the worst sleep my wife and I ever had. It would be who of you to spend some of that rental money and get a decent mattress. I’ll jump on the grenade and insist you use my deposit to ensure future occupants have a wonderful stay!
The property/grounds are very well kept. The condo needs a thorough cleaning baseboards, trim, loose plank on floor, bathroom faucet loose.The condo served our stay, and was very quiet.I did email, and filled out paperwork for the management with these issues.None of the issues would keep us from returning.Walk to Driftwood Beach was great, and definitely bringing our bikes was a plus.People on the Island very friendly, food was great.
Amenities were nice. I had to do some remote work and appreciated the small office space.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The place smelled like no one had been in there for sometime. Smelled like someone’s grandparents basement. The towels were rough and smelled like mildew. One little disc of soap and a 3” tub of shampoo for 3 days. I have stayed in the villas at least 20 times over the years. Worst place I’ve stayed. I emailed the property manager twice and still no response. I would not recommend. Sorry.

We're so sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay. I have scoured our email and have not found an email from you, nor are there any messages here on the VRBO platform. Had we known there was a problem in the unit or that you were dissatisfied, we would have done everything possible to rectify the situation. We have inspected the unit and had it deep-cleaned to eliminate any possible off odors. We do hope you will come back and give us another chance.
Perfect stay! Clean, super nice, right at the entrance to the pool, and a short walk to the beach. Super nice!

Reviewer Comments:
This condo, Parker Kaufman and Jekyll Island are the absolute best. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked another condo in the Villas for the same time next summer except this time we invited friends. Thank you so much for a great experience.
Our villa stay on Jekyll Island was wonderful. We loved the location close to the beach. We also loved the bike paths around the island. Our villa was clean and had everything we needed including a work station for a little remote working. We would love to come back!

My sons and I absolutely loved this villa. We had plenty of space. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The villa felt very comfortable and inviting! The realty company was easy to work with and did very well with communicating. The proximity of this villa to the pool was very helpful with determining exactly when the best times to swim were. We are definitely looking forward to next year's stay at Villas by the Sea and if this villa is available during our trip next year, I'd definitely rent it again!!

We're so happy you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for choosing Parker-Kaufman for your stay on Jekyll Island.
We came for a weekend convention. The condo was a short bike ride to a beautiful dock with a gorgeous marsh trail. Great bird watching! The condo was clean and well stocked. The bed is not a Queen- small disappointment but an overall great stay!

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent stay! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful dock and marsh trail, as well as the bird watching opportunities nearby.We’re pleased that you found the condo clean and well-stocked. However, we apologize for any confusion regarding the bed size. It is indeed a queen-sized bed, and we appreciate your feedback.
Thank you once again for your insights. We hope to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!
The unit was super clean. It had everything that we needed for a weekend getaway. The pool is right out the sliding glass door. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk. Highly recommended. We will be back again.

Lovely but breezy weather, we participated in a fundraiser for the turtle rehab center on the island. Four days of relaxation. We visited the historic district and the Village restaurants and shops and enjoyed a little beach time. Our VRBO was lovely and comfortable. Our only gripe was the living room TV, we prefer to be able to watch regular networks rather than all the specials; thank goodness tv in the bedroom allowed us to watch current news and programs. We will be back!

First impression of the Villas were great and that impression lasted the entire stay. Villa was beautiful and well kept up. Villa was clean and everything worked as it should. Only thing I wish was different is that keys could be left in the Villa even though office was on the way off the island, it still added an extra step to a long road trip home. Other than that I have nothing negative to say. The family and I will absolutely return.

Excelllent. Never did see the Property Mgr. Probably my fault. I left the key in the condo. It's not really a negative, because, usually the only reason you see the mgr, is if there's a negative.

Great condo. Looks out over the pool. Nice and clean inside. Bed is terrible. Lots of noise when you move around. Too soft. Huge sag in the middle. Had to sleep on the couch for the 3 nights.

Thank you for choosing Parker-Kaufman! We are sorry to hear that the bed was not comfortable...we will relay this information to the owners. We hope to see you you on Jekyll again!
Property location was perfect! The unit was just as described - we really felt as if we were on vacation as soon as we walked through the door! We were able to walk to Driftwood Beach (which need to be done at both tide levels), and we were able to bike to some great locations. Bike rentals were on site, which was a great plus for us. The restaurant was closed for renovation during our visit, which was unfortunate, but allowed us to seek out some other great spots to eat. One suggestion: get a Keurig. And a suggestion for others planning to stay anywhere on Jeykll Island - stop for groceries before you get there. That will save you lots of money (and time). All in all - we will definitely return to this unit.

The villa is great and we would stay again. We went there for our 15th anniversary. Unrelated to the villa itself, we arrived Sep 25 and Hurricane Helene decided to stay with us. We had no power almost all of our stay, gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores almost all closed. We had nightly curfews, and daily shelter in place. No air con, hot water, lights etc. Our only power was our Jeep to charge the cell phones, but that was limited by gas. Anyway, Jekyll Island is amazing. Driftwood Beach is a sanctuary and was in very close walking distance to this villa. We ended up cooking on grills with the little food we did have. A shout out to Striplings and Walmart groceries for being open.
