Great home for our family vacation! The house was very clean with enough space for all of us. We brought our dogs and were pleasantly surprised to learn the backyard was fenced! The kitchen was well stocked. Very short walk to the beach as well! Definitely give this one 5 stars and would love to stay here again in the future :)

We absolutely enjoyed our stay this past weekend. Everything in the listing of Reel Life was amazing. The beds were comfortable, the backyard fire pit was great, and we enjoyed watching the wildlife that sat just behind the fence watching us. Jekyll Island at Christmas time was beautiful and we plan to stay again!

We would not hesitate to stay here again if we ever travel back to Jekyll Island! We had a full house and had plenty of space, even on a rainy day with all of us inside. While we preferred the beaches on the southern portion of the island, this house is just down the road from the amazing Driftwood Beach.

Reel Life was a perfect place for our first visit to Jekyll Island, exactly as pictured and immaculate when we arrived. Plenty of fluffy towels, extra blankets and a well equipped kitchen with the best ice maker we’ve ever had made our stay easy and pleasant. The dog hugely enjoyed the large, fenced in yard and we enjoyed sitting in the sun to watch him. The location is great, easy 1-1-1/2 block walk to beach and short drive to Beach Village shops. Aundrea responded to our few questions very quickly. Highly recommend Reel Life. It was “reel” great.

Loved our weekend stay at Reel Life. It was a wonderful place for our family- with short distance to the beach/ short drive to places to explore. The backyard was so nice for kids to play or relax . Would love to come back soon

The house layout was great for our family- master bed and bath as well as three rooms for kids and second bath. Backyard was lovely and we enjoyed the firepit. Appreciated having a washer and dryer. Great location on the island! The grill and bikes listed were not usable though. They need replaced or fixed. There was a strong unpleasant smell, especially in one room- not sure if it was from cleaning or musty mildew.

Excellent value for a large family

This is the fifth property we've stayed at on Jekyll over the past 5 years and the best value overall. Location is excellent with an easy walk to the beach anytime other than high tide. The property is fenced and several bikes were provided, making the stay very comfortable for our large family who brought along our dog. The living / dining / kitchen is adequate for a large group but worth the tradeoff to have 7 different beds (four bunks, one queen, two king) which made sleeping for our large group very comfortable. The property manager was great. Check-in and check-out were easy. The property was clean. We love Jekyll and would gladly stay here again on our next visit.

Nice setup

Nice clean house. House is clean and well maintained. Backyard is great with plenty of seating and nice fire pit. Every room is equipped with a tv and living room has a lot of space. Only complaint is the fans in all rooms are remote however the remote works all of them so you turn one on, they all come on.

Quick 4th of July Getaway

House was easy to find and decorated nicely. It was clean upon arrival and had everything specified in the description. It was plenty large enough for our group of parents and kids. The house has a great back yard where the kids played and we grilled out. We saw deer daily in the yard which the kids loved. The house is a short walk to the beach but the stairs leading to the beach are not wagon friendly. The beach was beautiful and we basically had ot to ouselves the whole trip. Access to a local hotel pool was nice for the kids to swim, you will want to drive there though. The owner was easy to contact and responded quickly when needed. We always enjoy visiting Jekyll island and would stay here again.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review Kimber! We're so glad to hear the home was a great fit for your group and that the kids enjoyed both the backyard and spotting deer—it’s always such a treat! It’s wonderful that you were able to enjoy the beach and the hotel pool during your stay. We appreciate the note about the beach access stairs and will make sure future guests are aware. We'd be happy to host you again anytime you're back on Jekyll Island!

Reel Life is a great cottage!

We enjoyed our stay at Reel Life cottage. The bedrooms were perfect for us (master with king separate from the other 3 bedrooms and bathroom. The living space was adequate. It was nice to have beach towels and linens. The backyard was my favorite. I sat outside every morning drinking coffee and watching the deer. The only disappointment was the bikes. There were 5 in the picture, but only 2-3 worked (one without a pedal). There was a carrier to drag kids behind the bikes, but a part was missing. We LOVED the firepit and enjoyed the house. We also enjoyed swimming at the hotel.
