Nice Condo

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: The condo is very nice, good location. If you are staying for more than one day bring soap and shampoo, the soap they supply is very small.They have a coffee maker but no coffee filters or coffee. Cooking supplies are okay.

Cute condo

The condo was great, nicely decorated and clean had everything we needed, great that we could bring our dog, Hazel. Close to the beach but the closest pier to get to the beach was closed due to the hurricane so only a short walk to driftwood beach. Over all a great place to stay, definitely would recommend.

Great Getaway

Condo was perfect size for our needs. We’ve been coming to Jekyll for about 30 years and typically stay at Villas. This was the first time we stayed in a one-bedroom and this unit was fab. Had everything we needed (including good space for our dog/crate) and was tastefully decorated. Definitely would return here again.

Jekyll Getaway

The condo at Jekyll Island was perfect for the two of us! We enjoyed sitting outside on the little patio and hearing the surf as we sipped our coffee. We had a great time exploring and taking long walks on the beach. We even rented bikes and biked all the way around the island! The Bistro right in the complex was a fun and convenient night out! We had a great time and would love to return!

First time to the island

Everything was good. Only issues that we could have fix if we read details more ,we are big coffee drinkers so we had to buy extra filters as not enough for our consumption - we also shower every day after the beach and neglected to bring extra shampoo and conditioner and soap and the ones supplied were not enough.

VBRO Failed on This One

The dishes and flatware (in the cabinets and drawers) were dirty. No surprise because the dishwasher does not work. We hand washed the dishes we used, but had to use bath towels to dry them because there were no dish towels...and the stopper for the sink was broken. What kitchen does not have a disposal? This one. The back patio had construction trash laying about. The bathroom sink was dirty, the toilet paper dispenser rusty and the shower curtain badly stained. The bed hit its prime 30 years ago and the mattress was hard as a rock. Plus we were charged a pet fee and we did not have a pet. I thought I was getting peace of mind with VRBO, but just got a grossly overpriced unit. All in, with the barrage of fees this was twice the published rate. I will not be using VRBO in the future. I'll take my chances by contacting a local real estate agent. I took some photos if you would like to see them. (I didn't take a lot because I was trying to enjoy a vacation and not dwell on how I got ripped off)

The unit was sufficient for what we needed but I do think that it was more cosmetic than truly functional. At first glance, everything looked really nice but when we got settled we saw a few details that could have been better. One of which included the need of a more thorough clean of the unit. There were hairs along the top of the shower wall and on the shower liner itself. The bathroom was quite small and the barn door to the bathroom gave absolutely no privacy since there was a gap between the wall and door. The outside seating cushions were very dirty and when reaching out to the management, we received no response. The AC also did not go below 70 degrees and that is usually comfortable to us, but it felt like a very hot 70 degrees. Some highlights of the unit would be that it is close to the beach access, laundry room, and ice machine. We didn’t use the pool but it didn’t seem far away either. There were plenty of restaurant options close by and the unit itself has ample cookware and seating. All seating was comfortable, although the bed was a bit uncomfortable. There was also beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and some cleaning items for use.
