Lovely vacation stay

We had a lovely 5 day vacation stay at this home on Jekyll. Perfect home base, great to have room to spread out. Only complaint is beds are dated and uncomfortable. We would stay here again.

Thanks for your kind review. We LOVE having return guests. We named our home "Terrapin Haven", as the Jekyll turtles always return to their original nesting site. We love doing the same and love when our guests do too.

Great Place to Stay

The house was even more spacious and well-appointed than expected, and we all appreciated it. We would be happy to recommend it. The knives and pans were not the greatest, but acceptable for a five-day stay.

Quiet getaway from life’s stresses

The property is located near beach access. The neighbors were quiet and we were visited by occasional wildlife. The property suited the needs of 3 adults perfectly. The owner was very responsive and friendly.

Great place!

This place was great! So spacious and super close to the beach. Showers could use some updating since the older, low-pressure fixtures make it difficult to wash sand off. I really didn't have any other complaints and that one was minor compared to how great everything else was!

Thank you for your review. Feedback helps us with our "to do" list for projects when we "winter" in our home. We have owned for 7 years and have replaced the driveway, sunroom windows, exterior doors, stuccoed the sunroom's exterior, changed out some light fixtures & painted interior. So hoping by the time you return we will have updated bathroom fixtures. So happy you enjoyed your stay.
