Fabulous home! Even better than the pictures. Driveway was tricky to find the first time but it was a great space tucked back in the woods. Walkable to the beach if you don’t mind walking on the road. Fantastic hostess!
Condo in St. Simons
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 188 reviewsJack & Laurel Welcome You To Our Beach Club Condo!
This is a simply lovely place to stay with great access to the island and beach. There is a beautiful ocean breeze, good club, house, and kitchen amenities, and a biking path that can take you anywhere. Good to great restaurants are walking distance away - you could theoretically park your car and never have to drive again. Laurel is a really attentive and helpful host who went out of her way to offer help when we potentially needed something shipped to us.
Cottage in Saint Simons Island
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 250 reviewsElegant St. Simons Island Honeymoon Beach Cottage
This is one of our favorites places we have stayed with AirBnB both here & abroad. It is very tastefully decorated, well appointed, is in a lovely section of St. Simons, & is near multiple beach accesses. The lovely neighborhood is quiet, has many streets in which to safely ride bicycles, & the shops & restaurants are within easy walking distance. Melanie is a wonderful hostess, is prompt in responding to messages, & she is very eager to make the stay there as comfortable as possible. It is the perfect place to relax, unwind, & read. We enjoyed cooking most of our meals at the cottage, but we got a few takeouts from Sals; they serve delicious Italian cuisine. There is a Harris Teeter nearby with easy online ordering & pickup, which was very convenient. For anyone concerned about not having WiFi or TV, it is very easy to create a hotspot with your cellphone to use a laptop for entertainment or work purposes. This is our second stay here, & we hope to return again!

We had the perfect getaway at this beautiful bungalow! It's quaint, cozy, and clearly well-loved in a way that makes you feel right at home. Everything was exactly as described and the proximity to the beach is absolutely unbeatable. Debbie was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to make sure all of my questions were answered. Would love to stay here again in the future!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 252 reviewsMy Ocean Getaway Myrtle Beach 1 minute Walk Pets!
This place is a gem- spacious, clean, well-located, with a very helpful and responsive host. Walking distance to restaurants, downtown, and a beautiful expansile public beach. They have all the extra little touches you need so that you don't have to bring all your beach stuff from home- beach bags, beach towels, a beach wagon to carry your provided beach chairs and umbrellas, and even an insulated beach bag! The enclosed back yard space is private and quaint and a lovely area to enjoy time outside. Great for small children and pets because of the privacy fence. Deb and Ginny went above and beyond and our stay was wonderful. We will absolutely book with them again when we return to this charming island.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 78 reviewsKendall Cottage~Heated pool~Marsh trails~Bikes~
Loved staying at Kendall Cottage on Jekyll Island. The home was perfectly appointed with plenty of space and lots to do for both adults and kids. The location was perfect, especially for an early fall visit. The bike trail was easily accessible just one house down the road and I felt comfortable leading my 8- and 10-year-old boys on bikes to the trail and all around the island. We were a short drive to the beach when we wanted to go, though mostly we preferred to ride bikes. The pool was a really nice bonus, even if the water was a tad chilly in the fall. I’m sure it would have been perfect in the summer. Pete was an outstanding host, always responsive and clear in his communication. I’m already looking forward to future stays at Kendall Cottage!

Dennis's place more than exceeded our expectations. Not only was it immaculately clean, but coffee, etc were there for us and also a variety of snacks. We especially enjoyed the popcorn! At first we had a bit of trouble with getting in (mostly because I didn't follow directions) , but Dennis was there with an intercom of sorts to help guide me to getting in easily. And talking about an extra mile: He met me there after we had checked out because I thought I had left something there!! If you're staying in Brunswick, this is your place to stay!

Jeff’s space was beyond my expectations. Old southern charm, high ceilings, two full, newly renovated bathrooms with two rooms that each were very private on each end of the apartment, and everything was super comfortable. Beautifully designed kitchen. This place had everything we needed, plus easy walking to historic Brunswick which also surpassed my expectations! Simply a perfect visit.

Great stay for our family! Everyone had room and the master bedroom even had a closet large enough for a pack n play, which was very helpful! This is a great spot on SSI, as it’s close to everything you want to do. Easy walk to the public beach access, easy walk to several of our favorite restaurants and central to everything else we love to do on the island (pier, village, biking, etc). Definitely want to return here!

Perfect location! So close to the village and beach yet very quiet and private. The salt water pool is wonderful and the house is so comfortable. Unfortunately we have to leave early because of hurricane Helene but our hosts stayed in constant contact with us to make sure we were ok. We will definitely go back but probably not during hurricane season. The house is great for entertaining and for hanging out with friends and family. Our dog loved it too, especially the park nearby.

We had a great stay on Jekyll Island. The location, in a quiet neighborhood, was perfect for us. It is an older home, but very neat and tidy. Sometimes, it’s the little things that you appreciate most. Mine was having coffee there we could make on our first morning so we didn’t have to rush out for coffee to go. Jacob responded quickly to the questions we had.

Excellent! We had the best time on Jekyll Island. We could walk to the beach, enjoy the upstairs screened porch, and relax with a movie when we wore ourselves out. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and was large enough for two simultaneously. We felt right at home. Tranquil neighborhood. Darcy was very responsive to our texts and a great host. Highly recommend this home.

5 couples gathered for yearly sibling reunion. The house, pool, upper deck makes plenty of areas for entertainment. The large room by the pool had enough seating to accommodate all couples at same time, making it great for conversations. There are games and pool toys for younger families. We had the pleasure of watching the deer graze in the yard. Altogether a most enjoyable time. Also, We had several questions to ask before arriving, the hosts were quick to respond. Jim and Shirley

Your guide to Jekyll Island
All About Jekyll Island
Just south of Savannah, Georgia lies Jekyll Island, one of the coastal region’s 15 barrier islands, popular for its 10 miles of pristine beaches. Among those sandy stretches are the marsh-facing St. Andrew’s Beach, the wide and sweeping Glory Beach, and Driftwood Beach, known for its eerily beautiful scenery: a majestic beach punctuated by weather-beaten driftwood and tree trunks. The island is also a state park, with land development limited to just over a third in total, preserving the ecosystem and offering refuge for both nature and visitors alike. In addition to outdoor activities like croquet, tennis, fishing, and miles of trails for walking and biking, you’ll also find a number of environmental education and conservation programs to explore.
Within the town of Jekyll Island, the Historic District is home to acres of open land adorned with historic buildings, horseback riding trails, and golf courses.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Jekyll Island
Coastal Georgia temperatures are enviable most of the year. While summers are hot and humid and the island becomes extremely busy, the fall and spring temperatures are very temperate and quieter. Both shoulder seasons are ideal times to land a vacation rental on Jekyll Island as days are warm enough for the beach and evenings cool but not cold, plus the crowds have thinned if you’re looking for a quieter stay.
Every fall, you can eat your way through the three-day Shrimp & Grits Festival celebrating this southern region’s most famous dish. Winter temperatures are cool but remain on the milder side — but that’s not the only reason to visit. The island community throws spectacular holiday events that you can participate in, like the Holly Jolly Light Tour, a trolley ride that takes you to see more than half a million lights strung up around the island, and the Mailbox on Main, where you can drop a letter to Santa at the island’s North Pole mailbox.
Top things to do in Jekyll Island
Horton Pond
Conservation efforts have recreated Horton Pond as a sanctuary for local wildlife and as a place for visitors to commune with nature. Walk the Tupelo Trail, which provides scenic views of the pond and its plants.
Eco-Education
At the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, you can learn about the island’s efforts to resuscitate the sea turtle population and take a guided beach walk during nesting season. You can also opt to take a guided kayaking tour of Jekyll Island’s tidal creeks with the 4-H Tidelands Nature Center.
Goodyear Cottage
Craft enthusiasts and art lovers will want to check out Goodyear Cottage, where the Jekyll Island Arts Association has its home. This nonprofit is the force behind the island’s creative life, putting on the annual Merry Artist Market, plus art exhibitions, classes, and workshops the rest of the year.
