Wonderful Week at Jekyll

We have vacationed at Jekyll for many years and this is one of the very best rental homes we have ever experienced. Immaculately clean and well appointed for a comfortable home away from home. Check-in and out were super easy. The location is great, just a few blocks from the beach, the pool, and nearby resturants. We appreciated the generous provision of basic necessities and the well equipped kitchen. Our only disappointment is that the bicycles advertised in the home description were in very poor condition and not dependable to ride beautiful Jekyll Island trail system. Fix the bikes and this is a 10 star review!

Bright, Spotless, Great for Dogs

This is a duplex on a slightly depressing street of 1970's duplexes situated a couple blocks from the beach, but if you are looking for a safe place where your dogs can be let into a fenced yard with no worries, this is it.Renovated completely with nice new appliances. Immaculately clean. Bright and open with no clutter. Very quiet neighborhood with regular visits by several deer (and a couple of vultures?). The deer are completely unafraid, which freaked out our dogs. Thankfully, the backyard fence is new and sturdy.The beach, and all that Jekyll has to offer, are only scant minutes away, so don't let the duplex neighborhood scare you away from this property. The backyard looks out onto the wooded golf course, which is nice.Our only disappointment was that the bicycles and other outdoor equipment had been left out in the weather all winter and needed cleaning/service. I have a feeling the equipment has been serviced since our visit.

Awesome awesome awesome.This place is awesome. Perfect for is and our two dogs. We walked to the beach. We drove to driftwood beach and other beaches. Nice neighborhood to walk around. Bike friendly area, nice trail all over the island. The house is very nice. 3 bathrooms. 3 bedrooms. Beautiful kitchen. Nice fenced in back yard, which we really appreciate, having dogs. Bikes and beach chairs we could use. Chairs in the back yard and solo fire place in backbyard. We didnt use it but its there. Along with a grill. Everything was clean. Easy to unlock the door. Great instructions from the owner for how to get in. Nice appliances. Plenty of dishes for us to use. We had plenty of tltpilet paper and everything elase we needed as well.We took our dogs everywhere. We walked beaches 3 times a day. We took them to Fuse Frozen Yogurt and we got yummy icecream and they got free puppy cups. We took them to Tortuga Jacks and had dinner. Food was ok. Some construction work was going on and scared our Golden, but they bring o I t a bowl of wayer for your dogs. Very nice wait staff. Prices were ok, and amou t of food was filling. We saw deer every evening on the way home from where ever we were coming from.I dont know what else to say. We had a wonderful time and really dont want to leave.I would love to upload pictures but my phine is not letting me right now.

Great property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Pelican on Jekyll Island. The house was very clean and located in a quiet neighborhood which was minutes away from all island attractions and beaches. Venturing out to St. Simons and Brunswick was fun as well. It is easy to build a relaxing or action packed vacation from this location. We look forward to visiting the area again.

Very nice place and a great value! Would recommend!

The rooms are nice and the downstairs and outside is great spaces to be. We brought our two dogs and the loved the long yard for playing fetch! Had plenty of room for our two kids, us, and my grandma. I would recommend this place and hope to go again since Hurricane Milton cut our stay short. We will be back next year! Couple additional bits for the owner: the grill lighter and stick lighter were both out. Back sliding door did not seem to lock Would like to see the following household items included: Scissors, tape, few more cooking utensils (mixing spoon, ladle, etc)

Perfect escape

This house is a real treasure! Perfectly located, close to everything you could want but still very private. The fenced back yard was a huge plus, and our pup was immediately comfortable and happy there. It was a wonderful escape for us while visiting in town to see family. We will definitely look for this place again when we come to visit!

Great all around

This was a great place for us and our 2 adult children. Each of us had our own space for downtime and places to be together. We enjoyed walking and biking to the beach. I like that there was a little gate to put at the bottom of the stairs to prevent our senior dog from going up them. The hosts were very responsive to us and the house was everything we expected.
