Overall, I had a wonderful experience at this resort on Jekyll Island. The location is fantastic, just a minute's walk to Driftwood Beach, and the condo was clean and spacious, which made our stay very comfortable. However, we faced a bit of frustration with the front desk staff, who could have been more helpful upon our arrival. Nonetheless, the amenities, including the pool and playground, were great for our family, and we truly enjoyed our time here.

Our stay had some high points, like the great location between the village and the historical district, which made it easy to bike around. The pool was a nice feature, and I enjoyed the buffalo wings at the on-site Driftwood Bistro. However, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable, the cleanliness of the room could have been better, and we struggled with low water pressure during showers. Beach access was a challenge, leading us to drive to public spots instead.
Rooms

The room was not the most comfortable due to an old mattress with a noticeable dip in the center. Additionally, the cleanliness left something to be desired.

Our family had a lovely time at the Villas, where we have stayed for many years. The accommodations were clean and well-kept, and we appreciated the dog-friendly policy. However, we did experience some plumbing issues in our first room, leading to a frustrating room change that left us in a less satisfactory suite. The dining experience was enjoyable, but the overall service fell short this time around.

We had a good stay overall; the villa was comfortable and included a full kitchen, which was great for our multi-day trip. However, we encountered cleanliness issues upon arrival, with some dirty areas that needed attention. The location is fantastic, being a short drive to attractions while being quiet and relaxing. The value for money was decent given the size and amenities, but the lack of thorough cleaning was a major drawback.

I had a wonderful experience at Villas by the Sea Resort, where the clean and comfortable accommodations truly made my stay enjoyable. The poolside area was well-maintained, and I appreciated the resort's attention to guest safety during the pandemic. However, reaching the beach could be an issue at certain times due to the low tide, which limits access. Overall, the pricing feels fair for the value offered, and I look forward to returning.
