View FAIRWINDS | A Jekyll island Vacation Rental

Rating:

Fairwinds was a fine choice for my winter vacation. The location was convenient to the tennis courts, and generally at the center of activity on the island. I like the fact that the owners appreciate local bird life and have provided feeders and books about birds. The kitchen is well equipped, and the whole experience was quite pleasant. Jekyll Realty was very obliging on the rare occasions when I reported minor problems. I hope to return to Fairwinds.

House was perfectly located with only a 5min walk to the beach and short drive to any attraction. We spent Christmas week on the island and were able to successfully host dinner for 11 with a well stocked kitchen and spacious layout. The house met all our needs. It was clean with the exception of kitchen drawers that could use a sprucing and cabinets and white doors that could use a magic eraser. Jekyll Realty was very responsive when we called!! Spices were expired, but we brought our own so not an issue. Overall a wonderful stay and would recommend to families! Great house!

Very nice place on the island. Jekyll Realty was especially helpful during our stay. It was very easy to get the keys during check-in and, since we left during the weekend, easy to drop off the keys at the drop-off box. This house is also very close to the beach, which is nice if you want to take an evening coast along the shores.

Lovely house, clean, relaxing. Excellent for backyard bird watching. Also had deer visit who would remain in yard if one was quiet with slow movements.

This was our second visit to the Fairwinds property - and we hope to make it an annual tradition. Lovely home, well equipped and maintained. You won’t be disappointed.

From the moment we entered the door of this lovely house, we felt at home. The layout is great, with the formal dining room leading into the living area and gorgeous sunroom with 3 big bedrooms and 2 full baths - but it’s the atmosphere that truly makes this place my new favorite home away from home.

From the comfortable and classy furniture to the tasteful decorations with gorgeous paintings and all the little extras, everything together really made this an incredible stay. The spices and kitchen conveniences really helped us make some fabulous meals here. From all the steamers to cook seafood, to the sandwich maker and assorted knives, these homeowners thought of everything to make our stay complete.

Just a few blocks from the beach, Fairwinds is nestled on a beautiful property with a magnificent Magnolia and captivating Live Oak trees. We loved sitting outside on the comfy chairs and backyard swing as much as in the beautiful house!

We appreciated all the nightlights and extra lightbulbs for the home as well as the books - especially those about local birds - that added to our enjoyment. The deer who frequented the yard also added to the atmosphere to make this a stay we will never forget. We loved being able to fill the bird feeders and enjoyed the use of the boogie boards, frisbees, and buckets in the outside storage closet. Even beach chairs were provided although we never needed them.

Jekyll Realty was great, too - sending someone with a replacement hairdryer and maintenance to fix the tub. Both items were addressed quickly while we were out, with only a note left to advise us of their timely completion. Perfect service!

From fishing, beach walks, Red Bug rides around the island to mini golf and gorgeous sunsets, our stay could not have been more magical. Thank you, Fairwinds owners for giving us memories to last a lifetime!!

The house was as described. We have been to Jekyll many times but decided a hotel wasn't working for our family anymore. The 3 bedrooms of the house (and 2 bathrooms) gave us the space we needed. The house was quite clean. I would say since COVID, the house was cleaner than the hotels we have stayed at. The dryer quit making hot air our last night but other than that the house was in great condition. The walk to the ocean was 5 minutes and we biked to the bike path in 2 minutes. The nearby hotel restaurant and golf course were a minute's drive away. We would love to stay at this house again. A good price for a cozy house.

Loved the friendly, dog-loving, peacefulness of the Island. Loved the sunroom and private back yard. We visited the Turtle Center, Museum, Tour of the Homes in the historic district via trolley. Enjoyed the "downtown" area and several restaurants. Loved the bike/walking trails.

Big plus for this home is the short walk to the Ocean.
Normally there are a large number of bird feeders up that you can feed the birds with. If you can keep the feeders full you will see a large number of beautiful birds that make Jekyll there winter home.

Nice house and quiet. Loved how the deer came through the backyard every night. There were multiple bird feeders in the yard and they provided bird food. Very happy I chose Fairwinds! Easy check in and check out.

the house was very nice, well equipped,and comfortable. everyone enjoyed it. the only thing that needed attention was the toilets both need new floats that are not blocked to operate better.otherwise, we loved the house and would stay again.

Other than weather, which is beyond your control and cable issues which as also not your fault, everything was great. Did see a roach but it was dead.
