The grounds were beautiful, but full of mosquitos. Bring insect repellent. No beach at high tide and very little beach at other times. If you're looking for a typical beach this is not the place. They have a rock barrier between the water and sand. Can't go directly to the water without climbing over rocks. There is a beautiful public... more

I have stayed at many hotels, condos, etc and I must say that the front desk staff at the Villas is the worse by far. There was one front desk clerk who yelled from the office to ask me what I needed as she didnt get up or even take her eyes off the computer. I told her I wanted... more

My family has been staying at Villas by the Sea since the late 80s. I have a large family and we have great memories of the island (which is not the Gulf and is a state park and is a prime example of Low Country living in South GA - so don't expect Sandestin and thank God for that!). That... more

We do have an interior standards department that monitors the units making sure they are up to an acceptable standard. If they are not, we contact the owner and arrange for improvements. We also agree with...

We sure wish we were back at Villas by the Sea.. we took a chance booking online but were very pleased. The location is just a what an island should be.. it's not packed full of T-shirt stores and Crab Shacks.. it is the real deal. The tide is not always perfect for beaching but that is one of the... more

First I must say the location is beautiful, the grounds are amazing and our $232.00/per night room was spotless. The people at the front desk however had no knowledge of anyhting on the island nor did they want to help me any way possible. My first request was where i could get a cup of coffee. I arrived after a... more

Several years ago we stayed at Villas By The Sea and while we loved the location (directly on the ocean), we were not that impressed with the overall grounds/actual unit. We were told by friends that there have been many recent improvements at the Villas By The Sea and they were right. The location is just what a Jekyll experience... more

After reading some reviews of this property, we had doubts, but ended up being pleased with our stay at Villas by the Sea. A family wedding was what brought us to Jekyll Island for a long weekend. Our villa was clean and in excellent condition. When we first arrived, we had just missed a terrible storm and some villas were... more

We anticipated a relaxing, fun filled vacation. The island is a wonderful place to visit.and is very family oriented. However, the accomodations lack in staff professionalism and our room had very large roaches. We left with loss of valuable time and money. more

We are very sorry that this guest had a bug problem. Villas by the Sea is located on a tropical island with lush vegetation and landscaping. Like most resorts in tropical settings, Villas by the Sea does have an occasional bug sighting in one of our units as they enter when the doors are left open. More so when the...

We booked our trip to the Villas in January and then read such terrible reviews. We really expected a poor vacation there but kept the reservation anyway. WE ENDED UP LOVING IT! Our villa was clean and cool with the rear facing the beautiful butterfly garden. The beach was a short walk away. Yes, we could not sit on the... more
