Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time staying on JI for probably 30 years. We reserved the cottage online through the PK website. While technically on the beach, the access to the beach was very limited and not necessarily near the cottage. And unfortunately, the view of the ocean from the first floor was also limited because of the height of the shrubbery in front of the cottage. For us who thought that we were renting a place on the ocean, on the beach, these issues were disappointing. The cottage stuff, furniture and rugs, were fairly stained. Pollen was quite heavy on the porches. And finally, the pool was being worked on (lots of cutting of stone or brick) during the latter part of the week, which was loud and caused lots of clouds of dust to flow down to the cottage.

Amazing Getaway

We came to relax and spend time together the weekend after Christmas and this place did not disappoint. The porch with the relaxing seating area and the swing were phenomenal - we spent the whole time reading and soaking in the ocean sound. Could not have had a better time or experience.

Beautiful home!

We loved our stay! A beautiful home that didn’t feel like a rental. Wonderfully stocked kitchen, extra linens, everything we needed. Just a few steps from the pool/beach access but still quiet and peaceful. The porch swing on the top deck was my favorite spot. Can’t wait to go back!

Enjoyed every aspect of the property and Jekyll Island as a whole. Traveled as a family (myself, wife and three young kids) and loved the location of the unit (short walk to the pool and beach) and overall feel of the community. Definitely look forward to coming back.

Perfect

Beautiful townhouse on the ocean. Private, clean, well-equipped. Five nights wasn’t enough. Note: Guests have easy access to the upper beach. No access to the water at this time. Not an issue for us, but might be if you want to get in the water. I will definitely stay here again.

Soothing Beach Sounds!

We had a wonderful relaxing visit at the Cottages. Our beachfront townhouse was steps away from the crashing waves where we enjoyed lovely sunrises! From the first floor screened in porch we listened to the ocean but most mornings we sat up on the second floor porch watching the tides come in and out! The place was spotless and the decor was beautiful! The kitchen was well equipped for the several meals we prepared. We loved that each bedroom had it's own bath with great walk in showers. The location to the bike path, restaurants, golf and attractions is perfect. I highly recommend staying here for a visit to Jekyll Island.

Jekyll Island Gymnstics Weekend

This property is lovely and just as pictured. Our townhome had a gorgeous view off of each of the screened in porches. It was close to the pool, clubhouse and firepit area. The kitchen was well stocked and the layout of the townhome was very nice with all bedrooms having a private bath, in addition to a half bath tucked away off of the common area. The property was clean, and nicely decorated but there was evidence of mild "wear and tear" setting in as often does in rental properties. We were a bit "iffy" on exactly what was included in the washing / cleaning between the visits. We ended up just washing all the throw blankets to be on the safe side. The location is on the north end of the beach which is a little more quiet and is directly next to Driftwood Beach which is beautiful! The community is a combination of full time residents, with only a percentage of the homes being rented. It is quiet and low key - and best for a subdued crowd. Bikes are a must while on Jekyll! If there was one thing I would have wished for on the property that would have been it although bikes are easy to rent just a couple of miles down the road. This unit has no garage so it would be difficult to have bikes available for use. If you like the looks of this listing - go for it because the property and area is just as described and access was a piece of cake!

Perfect & Relaxing

We rented the Turtle’s Nest for our 40th Anniversary getaway. It was a splurge as we didn’t need all the space for just the two of us but we loved the oceanfront location, porches, and the light and beautiful furnishings. It was worth it! The place was clean and comfortable and the view so beautiful, we spent most of our time at the cottage relaxing, talking, and soaking up the sight and sound of the ocean. We were delighted to discover bikes and beach chairs for our use. The pool was close by and pristine. We spent an afternoon there warming ourselves in the sun. We had the best time and can’t wait to go back!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and we really love it! The views of the ocean from the inside are great and the outside balconies, especially upstairs, are simply wonderful. The house is very nicely decorated, clean, modern and friendly feeling. I have no hesitation wholeheartedly recommending it.

Family Vacation 2020

The Turtle’s Nest cottage was every bit as lovely as the pictures on the listing. Beautifully decorated, roomy, and comfortable, it was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for cooking, and the gas grill came in very handy. But the best feature of the cottage has to be the ocean front porches. Coffee in the morning, reading a book on a rainy afternoon, or a glass of wine at sunset were made all that much more enjoyable listening to the waves and watching the dolphins play in the ocean from the comfort of one of the porches. I would highly recommend this cottage for a family vacation. Our group of 7 - 4 adults and 3 children - had plenty of room and all enjoyed the amenities as well as the prime location. Jekyll Island never disappoints, and when we return we would love to stay at the Turtle’s Nest again!

Wonderful first trip to Jekyll Island!

Our stay at Ocean Cottage 120 was better than imagined! With two couples, it was perfect -- roomy, very near clubhouse and pool, bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, fantastic screened-in balconies on both floors, all overlooking the ocean. Onsite management was very accommodating, and the property is well-located about midway down the main beach community road. The cottage is beautifully decorated, with a great kitchen, and is a short drive to powdery sand beaches, restaurants, shopping, golf courses, and the historic sites. We look forward to returning very soon!
