Anchors Away - Pool!

We had a great stay. Everything was as described. We would definitely stay here again. I recommend bringing shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

LOVE this place. It’s like renting a home, not a house. Easy access to everything on Jekyll, very comfortable home, deer walk right up to say hello, and they have every amenity you need. We will stay again…thank you!

Great place for family, friends, and pets.

This was a lovely home, very comfortable for our family of 5– grandparents, son and two children. Lots of space and separate areas to congregate. The location was great— near the beach and a short drive to the village and many other attractions. Additionally there was a pass to the pool at the Holiday Inn, and credits for renting beach equipment. We loved staying here.

Communication with property manager was excellent. House was very clean.

This was our best short term rental ever. Clean, well furnished kitchen, lots of fluffy towels, comfy places to sit, everything was good. Aundrea, our contact, was super responsive and always cheerful. We've already booked next year.

The home is very welcoming and well equipped. The communication before our stay was excellent. We look forward to returning again next year.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The space was comfortable, even for our multi generational family, and the location was perfect to get anywhere we needed.

Anchors Away is a great place for a getaway! Jekyll Island is lovely and this place makes you feel like you’re at home.

Great communication with host!

The place was amazing! Honestly the photos don’t do it justice. We’ve favorited this property in the event we wish to return!

My family had a great time. The property owners were very accommodating when we had to bring our dog last minute. It was close to all the activities we had planned as well. We were happy with our stay!

I can’t wait to come back. Perfect experience

Well equipped and extremely clean place. Centrally located on Jekyll Island so easy to get to everything. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

House was very clean, had a deep freezer and an espresso machine which was a nice touch! (Nobody sells coffee beans on the island so recommend bringing your own) Kitchen had just about everything you need for meal prep and cooking, nice grill out back. Had a small issue with the hot water knob in the master shower and the owner sent someone right out to fix it. Overall wonderful stay, would recommend and will be back next time in Jekyll! Nice job keeping this place feeling like a home away from home.

We had a wonderful time staying at Anchors Away on Jekyll Island from 6/25/25-6/28/25 on our way traveling to Boone, NC and then from 7/12/25-7/15/25 on our return trip to Ft. Myers, FL. We had stayed at Anchors Away last June and we reserved our days for this past trip soon after our first time there. The house is spacious with lovely furnishings, an updated kitchen, coffee bar and wine cooler fridge. The bed in the primary suite has a comfortable mattress with high quality linens and there are new, luxurious soft and fluffy bath towels. There is a nice deck area and a fenced-in back yard that is perfect for your pups to run around. The beach access is a short 10-minute walk from the house. The days that we were there, the beach was beautiful to walk at low tide and not crowded. My husband rented a bicycle and enjoyed riding the fantastic bike path that goes along the entire perimeter of the island. It is shaded most of the way by huge, beautiful oak trees and there are no golf carts or motorized bikes or scooter permitted on the path so that makes it better (and safer) for the bikers. It was awesome to walk through the neighborhood and see the families of deer up-close as they are used to co-existing with people and dogs in the neighborhood. The property management staff were very responsive and accommodating. We have already reserved our time there for next June and July! We highly recommend a stay at Anchors Away!

We had a wonderful stay at Anchors Away. The home was clean and well equipped with all the comforts of home. The neighbor home was quiet and we took a few walks while there. The people in the neighborhood were friendly and we were about two block walk from the beach. We will differently stay at Anchors Away for our next visit.

Very clean, very well appointed, and really great location.

This was our second stay at Anchors Away (we stayed 3 nights on our way traveling to Boone, NC and 3 nights on our return trip to Ft. Myers, FL). We feel truly Blessed that we found this lovely home at this special location on Jekyll Island! The house is spacious with a nice deck and fenced-in back yard that is great for the pups. The furnishing are lovely with a very comfortable bed in the primary bedroom with nice quality linens and towels (that were brand new, large fluffy bath sheets. The house is well maintained and was very clean. We love the coffee bar and wine cooler fridge. The floor plan is an excellent use of space for each room. The walk to the beach is a pleasant one (about 10 minutes or less). The beach is beautiful to enjoy at low tide it is quite expansive and not too crowded. There are good restaurants for take-out as we did not dine-out since we had our border collie with us and it was too hot to sit outside for dining. My husband rented a bicycle and enjoyed riding the bike path around the entire island. It is a wonderful bike path that is shaded by awesome oak trees most of the path and fantastic scenery! We enjoyed seeing the deer who are native to the island and are not too skiddish of people and dogs walking close by. We highly recommend a visit to Jekyll Island to stay at Anchors Away! We already reserved our time there for next July! I meant to include that the management staff is very responsive and accomodating.

This home had everything we needed for a relaxing time at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed for quick meals, the patio was a great gathering spot and the neighborhood was quiet. We really appreciated being able to walk to the beach access and just a quick drive into town to shop or get ice cream. Perfect for our family!

We had an amazing week on Jekyll Island! The house is exactly as described, but better! We enjoyed the back patio and the grill, out puppy enjoyed hanging out in the fenced backyard, and I really appreciated the Tupperware. We cook a lot on our vacation and having storage for leftovers was a game changer. The location is fantastic, it is a very short walk to the beach and the neighborhood is quiet. We saw deer in the neighborhood pretty much everyday. We loved it and we will be back!

We had an amazing stay at this property and can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully maintained. Communication with the property manager was top-notch—prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.The home itself is a true gem. The open and airy sunroom quickly became our favorite hangout spot, offering the perfect place to sip morning espresso (thanks to the well-stocked espresso station!) while watching the local wildlife wander by. The superior air conditioning kept us cool and comfortable, even during the hottest afternoons, and the excellent water pressure in the showers was such a treat after a day at the beach.Speaking of the beach, the property’s proximity made it super easy to stroll or cruise over using the provided beach cruisers. The inclusion of beach chairs, a gas grill, a wine fridge, and even a chest freezer made everything so convenient and comfortable. We also appreciated how pet-friendly the home is—our furry family member felt just as welcome as we did.The kitchen was impressively well stocked, making cooking a breeze, and the internet connectivity was strong and reliable—perfect for staying connected or streaming movies at night. All in all, this home was a dream, and we are already planning our return visit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful slice of paradise with us!

Great place several blocks from the beach. All the comforts of home.

Our daughter had a small wedding on Driftwood beach and this place was perfect for the family since it was close to everything. The house is tastefully decorated and has lots of natural light which was perfect for the bride to get ready and for pictures. The layout of the home is nice with spots to relax and gather. I would stay here again next time I am in Jekyll.

Wonderful stay Would stay here again Management excellent!! Property was a described

This fantastic property was perfect for our family vacation! It was clean, modern, and beautifully decorated. The three bedrooms and two sitting areas allowed us to spread out, and the six seater table was great for dinner! They even had a water and food bowl for our doggo! The back patio has beautiful lighting, and the yard is fenced. Loved the location (two blocks from the beach). Can’t wait to return!

We had a beautiful beach day. St Andrew’s was lovely. And the historic district was unique.

This was myself, my son & daughter-in-law & grandson. We hiked and looked for things my son found on line that were hidden. We spent our time out and about, it was wonderful.

Anchors Away was the perfect location for our ten day stay. The duplex was recently updated, very clean, and cozy. We were close to the bike trail and Beach Village. The neighborhood was excellent for walking our dogs, plus they enjoyed the fenced-in yard. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We are already making plans to return next year. Highly recommended!

Very enjoyable stay. FYI: hall bath - toilet kept running. Keurig Coffee maker leaks due to crack.

A must stay!! Great little getaway for my daughter’s 16 birthday! Everything was clean and comfortable!! Looking forward to staying there again!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Not a single complaint. Very clean. Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Lots of memories made.

You can tell the home was built in the 70s but they really did a very nice job updating the homes, especially the bathrooms and brand new kitchen. Some walls had some scuffs and things, and we photographed them upon arrival. Host was excellent and very responsive. One suggestion please provide more toilet paper.

The host was very helpful and answered all questions promptly! The house was perfect for our family and very nicely done

Very clean and cute!

My friends and I stayed her, along with my golden retriever, and were so impressed with the amenities and location. The cottage is decorated impressively and it looks to be recently renovated. There was an expresso machine in addition to a Keurig, which we used often. Two bicycles were provided for our use at no extra charge, as well as beach chairs and beach towels. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes and we walked to watch the sunrise each morning. The neighborhood has a population of beach deer as we called them and we enjoyed seeing them on our walks. I highly recommend adventuring to the abandoned amphitheater. We saw Roseate Spoonbills, Great Cranes, and Tri-Colored Herons at the lake near the amphitheater. I highly recommend this property. We had a few questions during our stay and received very prompt responses.

The house is such a gem! Great location- although I don’t think you could have a bad location on Jekyll island! The whole island is wonderful. We came to town for a tennis tournament and even though it ended up getting cancelled due to rain- we still had a fabulous time on the island and at the home. There was plenty of space for us and we all enjoyed the home. Will definitely rent again!

This property was clean, cute, and stocked with everything we needed. It was within easy walking to the beach with 2 younger kids. We certainly recommend and plan to come back!

This place was geared toward guest comfort. I can’t think of anything negative to say about it. The king bed was very comfortable, which sometimes is is not the case away from home. Four stars for location was only because it’s two blocks off the main beach road. Great place if you have dogs, The fenced backyard was wonderful for them. Highly recommend and would go back.

This is our second year staying at Anchors Away. The place is well kept up and is perfect for my family. The fenced in backyard was great for our 4 legged kids. We were visited by deer each day which is a highlight for my wife. I highly recommend this place.

This is probably the only VRBO that I’ve stayed at that looks exactly the same as the online photos. This was a perfect place to stay for our Jekyll Island adventure!

It's a very clean house in a quiet neighborhood. We absolutely loved it and will definitely come back!
