Had a leaking ceiling, and roaches big ones little ones lots when you turn the lights on in kitchen. Would not say there again just because it's obviously not maintained properly and has a pest problem and if the roaches are in the rooms there in the kitchens and yeah don't want to bring back anything to my house so discarded most stuff we took from room.

I thought all of the Villa was lower level with upstairs bedroom and one bedroom downstairs so I was OK booking it but I end up having to go up 13 Flight stairs to get to the villa and I am in a wheelchair so it was very difficult, but I managed to climb the stairs but it didn’t make my weekend go pretty successful

Stated check in was at 4pm. Got there around 4:15 and they were saying the room wasn't ready and that anytime between 4 and 6pm for check in. The reservation stated a queen size bed and it was not queen size. It had a full size bed in. I have stayed 4 times at Villas and this was probably the worst experience I have had with them. The check in guy had no personality and wasn't pleasant at all.

We love Villas by the Sea for the beautiful pool, shaded grounds, and close proximity to the Driftwood Beach. We enoy having a full kitchen to prepare meals and an on site laundry for our family trips. The staff are great and the place is very clean. The rest of Jekyll Island is amazing and interesting and but we often spend the entire time at the villa.

Due to a power outage, it took 2 hours for us to get a room and not even the one we initially booked. We were so frustrated we just accepted what was available. I feel like a credit should have been offered due to the inconvenience. As a popular vacation spot, the property should have backup generators.

We had a 3 bedroom villa w/ocean views. The ocean views were fabulous but the villa (309) really needs renovating. The bathroom fixtures were old, the floors were old carpet that needed cleaning, the bed mattresses were lumpy& uncomfortable and the kitchen appliances need to be replaced and let's not talk about the furniture! The swimming pool was nice & clean. Check in was smooth. We did arrive early but unit was not ready had to wait a bit. They did have an Italian restaurant on the property. Food was OK, not great & the bartender did have an unfriendly attitude. I don't think we will be staying here again.

The room was clean in spite of showing some age. Furnishings and decor were comfortable but not beach themed.

Couldn’t see the beach from room but it was not far, took maybe 3 min to be on the dock. We had a pool view which was under construction. Which is fine except the didn’t tell me until the day before our reservation. That was kind of annoying. Check in was fine but all the lady said was you have to call house keeping if you need extra things (towels) yet had no idea how to contact. Was given nothing with a number and the phone in the room wasn’t clear for what was house keeping. Other wise it was perfect!

Excellent ocean-front resort on Jekyll Island, GA. Beautiful setting, well-maintained, quiet, close to restaurants and activities. The only drawback was surprise billing at check-in. There was a significant added charge we hadn’t expected. Hostess was not helpful in explaining it. She expected us to just take it without question. We paid the fee, and, in the end, felt the experience was worth the added cost. We would go there again, but like to know what the charges are up front.

Cons: 1-don't pay thru Expedia, it was a mess and total invoice shown in Expedia was almost twice what condo company actually charged. 2-condo bathroom was on second floor 3-pictures don't show large rock retaining wall along beach. We could see ocean, but to access small beach, you have to use one of the access points. Beach was disappointing and that's really what we went for. We drove to other beaches not far away.

The place was amazing. It was relaxing and quiet. The room was spacious and clean. The only thing was hairs on the pillow case that weren't mine. Check in took a little longer because the lady in front of me mix up her reservation dates and the one lady behind the counter was working by herself and had to call the manager to help the lady but then called her back multiple times and a we as also chatting with her instead of asking her to step aside to help the others in line. I wait to check in for 35 minutes and when my turn came it took 3 minutes to help. That not really the workers fault. This hotel is the only place now I will stay at because of the rooms & views. It is a amazing place to stay.

Clean rooms/baths. Friendly staff. The AM front desk on 2/13 though never filed the ticket we asked regarding downstairs sink. I had to recheck at end of day in person and then right away, maintenance staff came over and was friendly and took care of it. Some water damage prior to our use in the floors by sliding doors, which also had locks that didn’t lock so for security we used the bars. Insect free except my son saw 1 silverfish which I’m not surprised about given the East coast. Would have appreciated bottled water upon arrival enough for 4 ppl since the tap water tastes funny on the island, kind of brackish. Would be nice if the bikes available included kid sizes. We had to go to Beachside Rentals instead to get right size. But we’d come back. Parking was easy. Liked the walking path to Driftwood Beach.

The staff was friendly. Parking was easy. The AC/heat worked great. The kitchen was lacking knives and basic cooking items, and had no dishwasher. There was a coffee maker, but were no filters. The room was VERY sparse. No rugs, no throw blankets, old decor, small TV in an awkward spot. There was no place in the bathroom to put toiletries--just a small pedestal sink with no counter. The place felt and smelled like a cheap hotel. I think other units may be better as each unit seems to be individually owned, so I would ask more questions before just booking any room.

The room needed serious renovation. The kitchen was poorly equiped. If you plan on cooking, you will need to bring (or buy) all the basic ingredients such as salt and pepper, oil, vinegar, ketchup etc.... There was not even a pen or a pair of scissors.
We chose a one bedroom appartment with ocean view, but you cannot see the ocean since you are at the first floor and the view is completely obstructed. So, don't waste your money on a ocean view! I would not recommend this place except for the location next to Driftwood Beach.

Relaxing visit

Really nice, comfortable resort. Easy beach access, nice pool. Nice (though pricey) restaurant on site.
The beach access is extremely limited because there is zero access from mid to high tide. But it's lovely during low tide. I almost always had it to myself. It is very close to other more accessible beaches.
My stay (end of Sept '25) was peaceful and the resort not overly crowded. My room was quiet and tranquil until the last night when a family with young children checked in just over me. Every step the kids took (nonstop running for 3 hours that night) shook my entire ceiling. They were also up at 7 a.m. my last morning. They were the only little kids I saw my entire stay, so clearly the place was not overrun.
Maybe kids on the ground floor would be better...?
All in all, a lovely place and I will definitely be back

Not the Worst Experience.... Not the Best, Either

The restaurant on-site, not an actual part of Villas By the Sea, isn't helping this aging property's brand a bit. Closing the ONLY restaurant on the property for Sunday (and, as far as I could tell, Monday) is a business disaster. The bed was comfort personified, but the front desk personnel, while personable, did not explain (at least to me) how to access the free wifi or how to operate the heat/cooling - or even the DirectTV setup. Fortunately, I'm \"techie\" enough to figure it all out. Having arrived from a bus to Brunswick and private transit to the resort, I had hoped this would have been taken into consideration, but I wound up walking my luggage and myself to my unit using a hastily-drawn map of the property. My last stay here was about 10 years ago, so I had assumed some changes had been made - unfortunately, the sower fixtures were not among them. It was a pleasant, but not fantastic, vacation stay.
