Ocean Cottage 54 - The Cottages at Jekyll Island Oceanfront

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here since the Cottages opened and always had a pleasant experience in the cottages we stayed in. This year was very different. Upon arriving to the cottage, it was apparent it was not clean. The cottage had cobwebs and spiders and was beat up in general. There was also a gnat issue, which does occur at times, but this cottage had so many, especially in the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. There were gnats caught in cobwebs. Tad did come and place one glass of apple cider vinegar with dish soap in the kitchen and a sticky tape. The cleaners returned and did very little. I spent the rest of the day using a broom to take down webs and gnats. I then placed apple cider vinegar with dish soap in all the rooms and changed every day. It did help in most of the rooms but the one bedroom and bathroom had a smell and was never able to be cleared of the gnats or smell. We lost the use of that room and bathroom for the entire week. My teenage son and I shared the room with two twin beds for the trip. We did end our trip one night early as I was tired of dealing with the gnats and sharing a room. I replied back to an email asking if there were any issues with the cottage but never received a response back. As a loyal customer over many years, I was disappointed, especially due to the cost of the cottage. I would still stay in a cottage again, but never the one we stayed in this year. It needs a deep clean and repairs in areas.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great place. The best part is the view from the top floor porch. Just enough of a kitchen, dining room, and living room to be perfectly usable. The garage is loaded full of beach accessories - we didn't end up using them because we brought ours from home - but could have packed less if we knew all this was there. There are two parking spaces plus the garage, but they were pretty tight - not just this unit though, it's the whole complex. Timing the tides was difficult, but the public beaches were just a mile or two away so it was no big issue. I would have liked the view on the bottom floor as well, but there was plants blocking it.

We enjoyed our ocean cottage stay. The layout was great for our needs to work and relax, and plenty of room to have local family members over to visit. Very comfortable and a great location. We'd definitely consider coming back especially when the weather is warmer and we can really enjoy being on the beach.

Nice location. Water staining from estuary was surprising but understandable.

We enjoyed the house. Very comfortable for two couples to hang out and visit Jekyll Island. Would stay again.

The property was absolutely amazing, we would definitely rent again, but the master suite had not been cleaned properly and that was a little disappointing.

property was awesome, well equiped

Will stay again
