It’s our favorite place to stay and favorite place to hold a meeting. Our non-profit organization keeps returning to Villas by the Sea to host professional development workshops and conferences because of the excellent management, enchanting location, and affordable costs. Nestled in a lush maritime oak forest beside the ocean, there is no more beautiful place to stay on Jekyll Island! For nature lovers, the ocean views, a short trail to hauntingly beautiful Driftwood Beach, and nearby Horton Pond gazebo make this property irresistible. But we would not be such frequent customers if not for Ryan, who makes Conference logistics a breeze. There are few venues in Georgia that are as flexible as Villas in conference room configurations, equipment and technical assistance options, and variety of caterers that are allowed. Whether we are hosting a workshop for 50 teachers or a conference for up to 200, there’s no place we’d rather be. Having lodging available on site is a huge benefit for our guests, who enjoy the convenience of staying in walking distance and the opportunity for evening socials at the conference center. A very competent and responsive Reservations, Front Desk, Housekeeping and Maintenance staff make it as pleasant to stay at the Villas as to hold a meeting there. Although the property is not new, the units have all been renovated and are clean, well-equipped, and beautifully furnished with comfy living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, and balconies or patios. We enjoyed the new Jekyll & Tide restaurant, lovely pool, oceanside boardwalk and gazebo, and shady pirate ship playground. After our fourth visit in five years, we are still in love with this place and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Restaurant was amazing, great food and service! View and location of our one bedroom was great even with the beach updates happening.
