Poolside Cottage 33 Poolside Paradise The Cottages at Jekyll Island

Pros: a great spacious condo in a nice and quiet community. Easy checkin and great location too. Kitchen had all the utensils for meal preps and cooking.Cons: The beach was pretty much unusable because of the high tide lasting almost all day (no blame on the cottage for this). The listing says This Cottage includes a one-car garage, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella, but there was no beach umbrella or chairs. There was no shower gel either...just a small soap and a few tiny packs of shampoo and conditioner. The check-in email asked to reply to the email for any issues that don't require immediate attention but my email request to replenish the shower gel/shampoo went unanswered. Nobody ever reached out and inquired if everything was going ok...So overall, the host communication is a missed opportunity.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All good

Accommodations and things to do in Jekyll Island.

I marked beach view as 3 stars. I don't recall if the listing indicated beach view. The condo is not on the beach. It is across the street from the beach. Your backyard view is the pool house and pool. However, you can see a little bit of the ocean in the distance. Otherwise, the condo is well maintained. It was great for our family of 7 and we enjoyed having the pool in the backyard! No real complaints from us! We would definitely book this location again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at the cottage. It was well equipped. I appreciate that there are bunk beds for kids. Overall a comfortable stay very close to the pool. The cleanliness was questionable, so I might try a different location next time that might be cleaner- particularly for the price. There is a lot of noise around the pool so be mindful of that. If people are at the pool very early or very late, the noise will travel into the home. It would be helpful to get a garage door opener.

This was a great stay for a quick last minute get away

This cottage was perfect for our group of 8. There was plenty of entertaining space and the bunk room was a big hit with the kids. It was close to driftwood beach and about a mile away from a public park with beautiful beaches!! There was beach access within walking distance but there was a huge berm of rocks so you had to use a crosswalk to get over them and could only access it during specific times due to high tide. We really enjoyed the public park and the beach there. We would definitely stay here again!!

This home provided a perfect mix of peaceful privacy and convenience, located very close to the pool & recreation facilities.

This home is located in a beautiful neighborhood and is perfectly located right next to the pool, clubhouse/gym, and beach path. The home is beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Close enough to the ocean to hear the waves at high tide! Beach is only accessible during low tide.. water comes right up over the stairs a few hours before high tide, but there are many other beautiful beaches to drive to close by! The one big disappointment we had was the lack of supplies at this rental. We have stayed in many VRBO rentals over the years & this one had the least amount of supplies of any we’ve ever stayed in. There was a small bar of soap left in each bathroom but no soap dish to put it in, so we had to place them directly on the counters. There was only 1 small bath towel/washcloth per guest, no extra pillows or pillow cases, no extra blankets, & NO beach/pool towels, We ended up having to do laundry and wash towels twice a day while we were there! Guests who are driving to this home should pack any extra bedding they may need, towels, beach towels, and beach chairs. There were a couple very old canvas chairs in the garage with no bags to carry them in but no other beach chairs available. These types of things would make for such a better experience overall, especially for guest flying in who can’t pack items like these.
