Nice place, the views are phenomenal, the location was absolutely wonderful! The downside is that the only bathroom is upstairs. That’s a real bummer. I don’t understand why guests would not have access to a 1/2 bath downstairs. The bike trails on Jekyll are absolutely phenomenal and soooooo beautiful! You have to experience this island for sure! Overall I would recommend this villa in less you can’t climb stairs. Very nice place, tho!

Nicely renovated unit with exceptional ocean views. Tastefully appointed and well furnished. Clean and quiet. Only one bathroom (on the second floor), but a minor inconvenience. We would book this again in a heartbeat.
The condo was great...beach access not so much.

We did enjoy condo #176, but if I had known that the beach would have high tide the majority of the day over the 4th of July weekend, I would have rented further south. It was my graduation present since I did not get to walk the stage or attend a commencement ceremony. We did not get nearly the beach time we were hoping for, but the condo itself was wonderful. The pool at the Villas was excellent as well, and the Jekyll Realty staff was wonderful. They came to our rescue after locking ourselves out of the condo right after arriving.
A great place and family-friendly!

We were looking for a quick Island getaway and this was perfect! Villa176 is right on the beach with beautiful views but the Riprap (rocks!) along the water's edge prevent access. The closest beach access is about 500 yards away which is an short stroll in the sand or along the property. We didn't realize how close beautiful Driftwood beach was until the last day so will spend time there next time. Due to Covid19 pandemic, many local restaurants only offer take out but we went to the local Mexican place a few times for socially-distanced al fresco dining. We enjoyed walking and biking around the island - the trails are amazing. Recommend you do your vacation supplies shopping in Brunswick as there isn't much on the island. We would definitely stay here again!
Very nice place

Stayed at Ruby's Retreat from Christmas Day to New Year's Eve. Property: Spotless. Could not have been better suited for us, (Older couple + 2 grown daughters + dog). Recent upgrades make the unit appear and feel significantly more modern than its true age. Great value and only a short walk to Driftwood Beach. Cozy and roomy at the same time. Sunrise view. Love the back yard access within a few yards from the beach walk.
Rental process was well-coordinated thru the property management team from start to finish. Great communication.
Cooked often and really appreciate the like-new appliances, cookware & utensils.
Rode bikes rented from the complex 4 out 7 days there. Jekyll is very bike and pet friendly.
Dined out at the Bistro; great food. (Be prepared to get there early if you go. No Reservations.) Ate also at the Wharf by Jekyll Island Club in the middle of a ten mile bike ride. Pedaled to the Sunrise Grille in the Village two days in a row for breakfast, (and Bloody Marys). Loved the late night food and the atmosphere at the Wee Pub in the Village.
It was our first time to stay among the Villas by the Sea. Love this complex.

Unit is very well equipped and in a great location, but the door wall downstairs needs some serious repair and the bath tub needs attention due to draining problems. If door wall isn't fixed soon, it will be impossible to lock it. We would have given it high rating except for these problems.

We loved our stay on Jekyll Island. If your looking for laid back relaxation from the hustle and bustle of city living then you found it. Everyone was very friendly, food was awesome and at a reasonable rate, unlike some other areas that are over priced. Our condo was beach view although you couldn’t walk out to the beach (revitalization in progress) from the condo at this time. I liked that we were at the end of the island near driftwood beach and it we loved it. All the beach access locations near us had ample parking with bathrooms and showers right there so we didn’t have to drive back to the condo for anything until we were done for the day beaching. We will be back! Thank you Jekyll Realty for the recommendations the Sunset grill had great breakfast and dinner fare. We ate there twice. Beachhouse has the best salad and calamari frita for starters along with a extensive menu selection. Our first night was Wee pub, wings, beer, shrimp po boy and live music. What better way to start your vacation.
Wish there had been a beach!

We often stay in this particular villa, because it is pet friendly and we prefer the north end of the island. We knew that the beach would disappear at high tide, but we were not prepared for the fact that the beach would be totally inaccessible behind a massive rock wall and a construction site extending for half a mile. We were told by the workmen that the trucks hauling sand and the bulldozers moving it around would be continuing for 4.5 months. We love Jekyll, but this was a shock. I cannot imagine how they got such a thing approved on an island where loggerhead turtles are attempting to nest. Of course we will be back, but only after the construction is finished.

This was our third time staying in Villa 176, and our fourth time to the Golden Isles. We always love every second of our vacations, but Villa 176 feels like coming home. It's always clean and comfy. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and then some. We already can't wait for our next vacation.

Second year in a row at #176, enjoyed as before. We like the location, out and away, quiet. The pool is a plus. Overall, the villa and the grounds were well maintained. Planning on another year, I think it will be the same villa if available. Pet friendly is a must for us!
Great vacation!!

Our unit at Villas-by-the-Sea was very cozy and comfortable, and the location right on the shore was fantastic with beautiful views all day long. The unit was well stocked with everything anyone would need for a weekend or week-long stay. The bed in the master bedroom was especially comfortable though our grandchildren did not find the twin beds in the second bedroom as comfy as our bed. The unit was extremely clean when we arrived; however, we did have two maintenance issues, but Jekyll Realty was very quick to send help to remedy the two problems. And the grounds at the Villa--WOW, the landscaping is absolutely gorgeous. All in all, this was a fantastic vacation experience!
Great Villa

The villa was very well furnished and great beachfront location. The hurricane of last year destroyed the access walkways to the beach which made it hard to get to the ocean. But by mid week they had built a temporary walkway to the ocean and it was greatly appreciated. They are really working hard at fixing the damage to the beach. Once the temporary walkway was installed we had a great time enjoying the ocean. The quiet atmosphere is what I loved and everyone was so nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend Villa 176 and really look forward to renting it again.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The staff of Jekyll Reality were outstanding and really know the meaning of customer service. The condo was very clean and even though hurricaine Irma tried to destroy the island, it left a great oceanfront view! This condo is in a perfect spot with close access to some of the Island's best places to see and you can rent bicycles within walking distance to travel with! We will definitely be back!!!

This was our second time staying in this particular unit, and it was like coming home again. We were grateful for the chance to stay, as the island was still recovering from Hurricane Irma. The property managers did everything they could to make sure our stay was safe and comfy, and we got to help inject a little more cash into the economy. A win-win, as far as we were concerned.

We had a lovely experience overall with our stay. The apartment was well appointed and it was easy to acess all the areas of the complex. 2 things that were a negative, was they repaved the parking lots while we were there so it was a bit smelly during that period. But that was just bad timing. And the other was a mild ant problem in the kitchen and bathroom. But those things can happen on the island. A quick treatment would easily handle that. Overall it was a great stay for us.
Nicely done

This was our third visit to island, first at the Villas. We loved it. From our villa we could see and HEAR the ocean. That was what we wanted this visit. We had homes before and were concerned about being too close to others at the villa. We needn't worry; it all worked well. We brought our dog.he loved. Two of our girls came with us also, they lived at the pool. Good fun.

This was our second stay in Villa 176. The newly updated color scheme and furnishings were very nice. We love the location of the Villas and of 176. The villa is well arranged and comfortable. Driftwood Bistro has become our favorite dinner spot. The Villas are quiet yet close to beach, fishing, golf and trails.
Your request has been sent. We look forward to meeting all your vacation needs!
