Surprise RESORT fees
The BIG surprise was in check in. I was expecting to pay $46 resort fee and it ended up being $61. They have a few more fees than last time, which was $38. This was a total surprise. The stay was nice, however the toilet was not bolted to the floor on both sides. It moved constantly. The floors seemed dirty.

Check in was quick, unit in a quiet area and it was a one bedroom oceanview unit with kitchen. Unit size was good but a little outdated. Bathroom fan was extremely noisy and it turns on with the light. Bed was a bit to firm and caused some aches. View and convenience to beach was great. No shells on this beach front but many clam holes. We enjoyed Driftwood beach and Hortons pond trail, both very close by. The restaurant for dinner was closed till November and the breakfast area was closed on Sundays and Mondays which happen to be the days of our stay. We went the 3rd week in September and weather was warm.

Great place to stay in jekyll!
This was our third time at the villas. There was a miscommunication between the hotels.com reservation to the property and we were initially assigned the wrong type of property. The manager immediately took care of the issue and was great! All staff were friendly and the condo worked perfectly. Compared to years past, this condo did not feel as clean as the others, but was still another wonderful stay!

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm hello. Although they were working on finding accommodations for another guest, the wait time was minimal. We wanted quiet and as much alone time as possible, and that's exactly what we got. The weekdays worked out perfectly for us. The shops were close by. We didn't find what we wanted but it was a nice area to check out. Good getaway.

The property was amazing. Its proximity to Driftwood Beach was such a bonus. The staff was friendly and helpful during check-in and check-out. Our family absolutely loved the entire villa and was begging to come back before we even left.
