“Like heaven!”

Reviewed 4 days ago NEW

We checked out all of the hotels on the island before settling on this one. The main reason we did were Tom and Chris , the front desk agents. They gave us a great rate and checked us right in. Super friendly and helpful. Our unit was so cute and perfect! of course there is no beach view IT SAYS... More

“Desperate need of face-lift”

Reviewed 6 days ago NEW

We stayed this past weekend for the 11th Annual Shrimp & Grits Festival and thought we were lucky to have found a room available to rent; however immediately upon checking-in I realized why this place still had vacancy when all the other hotels on the island were sold out. We stayed in the mini villa because that was all that... More

“Very Nice Rooms ”

Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

The staff was very welcome when we arrived. The room was very nice with comfy beds. We had the accessible room with a ground floor patio. Lots of squirrels on property but they amusing to watch. Overall experience was great. We would stay here again.

“Home Away from Home”

Second stay at Villas and came back for a reason. Location is further away from the more tourist heavy area of the island, but still within minutes of all parts of the island. Staying in a one bedroom with a kitchen really makes it feel more like a home than a hotel and it has everything you need. Oceanside rooms... More

“Great place to relax!”

Reviewed 1 week ago

Redone condos either beachside or riverside (although not much beach) but a nice long boardwalk. Most of the condos have been renovated and are very very clean and comfortable. Driftwood Bistro restaurant is onsite and good prices and a great menu. I have to say housekeeping is great! We didn't need much, but was delivered to our door quickly. Very... More

I'm writing to let people know how impressed and gracious my family are with all of your staff at Villas by the Sea resort & Conference Center.

“Nice, Friendly, on the Beach but NO beach to Bathe on”

Had a great time in a small condo, completely furnished, reasonable price! Queen sized bed filled the entire bed room. Driftwood cafe was good and reasonable. Be sure to tour the Island and see Turtle Center! Recommended for a family.

“Anniversary Trip”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago via mobile

Great staff, accommodating, pleasant, willing to help. Pool is beautiful. The complex is within walking distance of Driftwood Beach wich is romantic and good for exploring tidal pools. Good restaurant, The Bistro, considering the food on the island is generally mediocre at best.

Thank A TripAdvisor Member

Greetings and thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience at Villas by the Sea! Driftwood Beach, which borders our resort, is truly a one of a kind beach area and is one of the most popular places to visit on Jekyll. We hope that if future travel plans include a return to Jekyll Island that you... More

“Lack of planning and poor customer service”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We stayed at Villas by the Sea after Hurricane Hermine went through Florida and up the East Coast. While Jekyll Island sustained very little damage (alot of branches around), parts of the island did lose power. This should not be an unexpected event for a coastal island in my opinion. They did not have a generator to power the villas,... More

Thank shellwiz

Hello shellwiz, Thank you for sharing your experience at Villas by the Sea and I apologize for the subsequent events following the hurricane that past thru the area which affected your visit. Unfortunately, with 20 buildings scattered on 17 acres, generators simply would simply not be an option to minimize the imapct of a power outage. I believe my previous... More

I booked a 2 night stay at this resort for part of our honeymoon and on Thursday night we noticed that the hurricane Hermine practically blew jekyll island off the map (the 2 phone numbers to the hotel are still currently not in service) but I was able to contact the villas to cancel my reservation prior to our check...
