Trip to Jekyll for wedding

Our daughter had a small wedding on Driftwood beach and this place was perfect for the family since it was close to everything. The house is tastefully decorated and has lots of natural light which was perfect for the bride to get ready and for pictures. The layout of the home is nice with spots to relax and gather. I would stay here again next time I am in Jekyll.

Hidden gem on Jekyll for families with pets

This fantastic property was perfect for our family vacation! It was clean, modern, and beautifully decorated. The three bedrooms and two sitting areas allowed us to spread out, and the six seater table was great for dinner! They even had a water and food bowl for our doggo! The back patio has beautiful lighting, and the yard is fenced. Loved the location (two blocks from the beach). Can’t wait to return!

Very clean, nicely furnished, great beds

This place was geared toward guest comfort. I can’t think of anything negative to say about it. The king bed was very comfortable, which sometimes is is not the case away from home. Four stars for location was only because it’s two blocks off the main beach road. Great place if you have dogs, The fenced backyard was wonderful for them. Highly recommend and would go back.

Great place!

My family, me and our dog really enjoyed our stay here. There is nothing that I could change to make it better as it was a clean, well laid out house and the espresso machine was a welcomed addition. We really enjoued and plan to be back.

Everything you need for a beach vacation

Anchors Away had everything my family needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The kitchen had plenty of space and all the appliances we needed. It has a nice grill and fire pit on the patio plus a hose to wash off our sandy feet when we got back from the beach. The beach is an easy two block walk and much quieter than the beaches near the hotels. Everything was very clean, thank you for a wonderful stay on beautiful Jekyll Island!

Luxury & location

I cannot say enough positive things about this property. Location was ideal for the beach, the back yard was perfect for our dogs, the decor was on point with unique touches, and extras like the fire pit, grill, espresso machine and scented candles made it feel like complete luxury! I wish we could live there full time, but I can guarantee we will be back.

Jekyll Island -- a biker's paradise.

Anchors Away was a wonderful place to stay to access all that Jekyll Island has to offer. Centrally located, it was easy to get to golf, beach, shops, historic district and bike paths. It was so well equipped. If we had a question or issue, the owner responded within the hour after we emailed.

Beautiful property!

We had an awesome relaxing “quick” vacation! It felt like home away from home. The neighborhood is peaceful and a pleasant short walk to the beach. Lots of wildlife to enjoy and the outdoor area was relaxing and useful. We could not have asked for a better house to stay in. The home was extremely clean and much appreciated!
