8/10
We had a wonderful time on Jekyll. The bike paths are amazing and expansive. Nature abounds along with historical structures. The birds are amazing. The beaches on the central to south island are superb. You can see the sun rise from driftwood and watch a sunset on the southern most beach. The beaches are wide and undeveloped and quiet. Unfortunately just north of driftwood beach (which is a ghost forest not really driftwood) and for about 2 miles southward there is no beach. There are huge boulders lining the ocean edge of the beach to hold back rising sea levels. For those two miles boardwalks end in stairs that go into the ocean .. even at low tide there is little to no access. Once you reach the holiday inn and head south access is plentiful and beaches are wide. If you like to walk on the beach directly from your accommodation the villas may not be for you. But you can walk ten minutes north to driftwood which is not lined with rocks. Or cycle or drive two miles south for long walks. Just be aware, the realty co. May tell you there is a few hrs. Of beach access at low tide at villa, That was not true when we were there (10/13-10/20/23)
The villa is bright, superbly clean, comfortable.. beds are very comfortable. The deck has a very nice view of ocean (can’t see rocks thanks to dune vegetation). You are a short walk from hidden jewels like Horton pond and a lovely stretch of path through a marsh which abounds with shore / sea birds
I highly recommend Jekyll
