We had a wonderful stay at Anchors Away. The home was clean and well equipped with all the comforts of home. The neighbor home was quiet and we took a few walks while there. The people in the neighborhood were friendly and we were about two block walk from the beach. We will differently stay at Anchors Away for our next visit.

At home by the beach

This home had everything we needed for a relaxing time at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed for quick meals, the patio was a great gathering spot and the neighborhood was quiet. We really appreciated being able to walk to the beach access and just a quick drive into town to shop or get ice cream. Perfect for our family!

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.

Wonderful stay on Jekyll Island

We had an amazing week on Jekyll Island! The house is exactly as described, but better! We enjoyed the back patio and the grill, out puppy enjoyed hanging out in the fenced backyard, and I really appreciated the Tupperware. We cook a lot on our vacation and having storage for leftovers was a game changer. The location is fantastic, it is a very short walk to the beach and the neighborhood is quiet. We saw deer in the neighborhood pretty much everyday. We loved it and we will be back!

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!

GREAT STAY AT ANCHOR'S AWAY !

We had a wonderful time staying at Anchors Away on Jekyll Island from 6/25/25-6/28/25 on our way traveling to Boone, NC and then from 7/12/25-7/15/25 on our return trip to Ft. Myers, FL. We had stayed at Anchors Away last June and we reserved our days for this past trip soon after our first time there. The house is spacious with lovely furnishings, an updated kitchen, coffee bar and wine cooler fridge. The bed in the primary suite has a comfortable mattress with high quality linens and there are new, luxurious soft and fluffy bath towels. There is a nice deck area and a fenced-in back yard that is perfect for your pups to run around. The beach access is a short 10-minute walk from the house. The days that we were there, the beach was beautiful to walk at low tide and not crowded. My husband rented a bicycle and enjoyed riding the fantastic bike path that goes along the entire perimeter of the island. It is shaded most of the way by huge, beautiful oak trees and there are no golf carts or motorized bikes or scooter permitted on the path so that makes it better (and safer) for the bikers. It was awesome to walk through the neighborhood and see the families of deer up-close as they are used to co-existing with people and dogs in the neighborhood. The property management staff were very responsive and accommodating. We have already reserved our time there for next June and July! We highly recommend a stay at Anchors Away!

This was our second stay at Anchors Away (we stayed 3 nights on our way traveling to Boone, NC and 3 nights on our return trip to Ft. Myers, FL). We feel truly Blessed that we found this lovely home at this special location on Jekyll Island! The house is spacious with a nice deck and fenced-in back yard that is great for the pups. The furnishing are lovely with a very comfortable bed in the primary bedroom with nice quality linens and towels (that were brand new, large fluffy bath sheets. The house is well maintained and was very clean. We love the coffee bar and wine cooler fridge. The floor plan is an excellent use of space for each room. The walk to the beach is a pleasant one (about 10 minutes or less). The beach is beautiful to enjoy at low tide it is quite expansive and not too crowded. There are good restaurants for take-out as we did not dine-out since we had our border collie with us and it was too hot to sit outside for dining. My husband rented a bicycle and enjoyed riding the bike path around the entire island. It is a wonderful bike path that is shaded by awesome oak trees most of the path and fantastic scenery! We enjoyed seeing the deer who are native to the island and are not too skiddish of people and dogs walking close by. We highly recommend a visit to Jekyll Island to stay at Anchors Away! We already reserved our time there for next July! I meant to include that the management staff is very responsive and accomodating.

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.
