My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Villas By The Sea. We were there to just relax and gear up for a busy autumn. Our villa was clean, all equipment was nice. We loved being on the ground floor and spent several hours on the patio overlooking the garden just reading and relaxing. The restaurant is fabulous. more

We called to get info on the Villas. We were told by reservations person, that the rooms are beautiful . She told us there is a $75 fee per pet for cleaning and sanitizing the room after we leave. We took our 2 little yorkies. When we arrived, we went to the room. We drove from Florida, and my husband... more

My family and I traveled to Jekyll Island, Georgia, for a family reunion. We all had heard terrible reviews of the accommodations, but since that is where the rest of the family members had contracted to stay, we followed suit. Unfortunately, upon our departure, we all vowed to never return to Villas by the Sea unless the resort undertook major... more

We planned our trip to Villas by the Sea based on the fact that they are a pet friendly resort. We have a large lab mix and have been limited to places that we can take him based on his size. At Villas by the Sea, his size was not an issue. We thought the hotel was well maintained and... more

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

We thank this guest for leaving positive comments regarding our grounds and pool. We have electric mosquito repelling equipment located at the playground and pool area. These machines reduce the number of mosquitoes but sometimes do not repel all, especially if it has been raining when we experience more than normal numbers of mosquitoes. We do not have a Villa...

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
