Jekyll Realty - Jekyll Island, Georgia

We booked Beachfront Bliss. The pictures of this house looked great but in reality, this house was in very poor and dangerous condition. The AC struggled to cool the main floor which happened to be the middle floor. Several of the electrical outlets would not work and the ones that did would spark. The mini blinds did not work at all and there were some missing over the doors of the bedrooms leaving the room completely visible from the outside at night. The bathroom window on the bottom floor would not close at all and the faucet in the shower was a steady pour. The beds were so worn out that they had large sink holes and squeaked everytime you moved. There was black mold in the main living room. The furniture was worn completely out and not comfortable at all to sit on. The furniture on the screened porch area was molded and just nasty to sit on and there was junk just piled up everywhere. It's like whoever owned the house was just collecting the money for rentals and not putting any back into the house. Beware of this house and this rental company. You may not get what you pay for.

Jekyll reality staff was not honest when asked direct questions about the water quality around the island before we booked and before are last payment was made. If anyone had been honest we would not have waisted a week’s vacation, time and money. We have been visiting Jekyll Island twice a year from 2006-2019 so we are aware of the brackish waters. Jekyll used to be our favorite place to visit but our last visit after one hurricane and a sunken ship with thousands of cars on board happened we noticed a change in the water around the island for the worse. We stayed away from the island for several years then we heard the ship had finally been removed so we decided to call Jekyll Reality and ask about the water quality and if the water was still dirty looking and muddy. We were told everything was good and to go ahead and book so we did then in July when our final cottage payment was due I asked again. I told them we were used to the brackish water not a problem but did not want to deal with the dirty muddy water that we had seen back in 2019. I was told no problems and everything was back to being all good and they had also placed large rocks on the north side of the island so that everything was good again. We went 8/19 and the water was the worst we had even seen. The whitecaps were rolling in dark brown and black. No one was swimming despite the very hot weather. The water was so disgusting that we could not get in at all. I sent several emails and we left on the 22nd instead of staying until the 26th yet not one person from Jekyll realty reached out to us. I saw the review where one family was not told about closed beach access and felt they had been deceived. I am telling you that we felt 100% deceived, lied to, misled or whatever words you choose to use, but it was completely dishonest to give us false information and allow us to book a rental home when we specifically stated, the conditions that we did not want to be in again.

I rented Atlantic Breeze #4. It was very clean and as described. There was only one small issue and the folks at Jeckyll Realty took care of it within a couple of hours. This place is only steps from a great beach access and right on the bike trail. Thank you Jeckyll Realty for making my month long stay very enjoyable.

My wife and I rented A hidden gem for the week of 8/19/23-8/26/23. We turned our keys in and left on 8/22/23. This had nothing to do with the rental home, it was as described and what we expected, with the exception that the bath water and tap water was yellowish for two days due to work being done on the island water tower. What has been upsetting about this trip is that I made several calls inquiring about the water quality around the island and my concerns with the water being dirtier than our past visits. I was told all times that we had nothing to worry about and that everything was good so we booked this trip. When it came time to pay the 2nd part I asked again about the water quality around the island. I explained that our last trip the water was dirtier than past visits and we had to walk through mud getting in and out of the water. Again we were told the same and that there were no problems and that there had been lots of beach beautification done and that the sand was replaced so the water was no longer muddy. Once on the island we found what we were told was not the case and in fact the water was the worst it had ever been. We were unable to enjoy being in the water at all. August is one of the hottest months to visit Jekyll so to not be able to get into the water was miserable. The waves were black and dark brown with again a muddy pathway in and out of the water. We talked to other families on the beach who felt the same way and we saw none in the water for obvious reasons. We spoke with a local family in Brunswick who said the water around the island has been horribly dirty for a few years now. If anyone would’ve been honest about this matter our vacation would not have been ruined. We drove to Madeira to save what was left of our trip, and had the extra expense of a 2nd vacation home along with extra expenses with our rental car. I understand doing your jobs to book as many properties as you can but being dishonest when a direct question is asked it not right. We would not have made reservations for this week if anyone we spoke to had been honest. It is not right taking advantage of families like this.

I've known the people with Jekyll Realty my whole life, they are great people. They are passionate about the island, their rentals/sales and that you have a great stay in their rentals. Don't be afraid to ask them questions, they know a ton about the island and will do what they can to help if you need it!

We just got back home from our family trip to Jekyll and we had nothing but good experiences with Jekyll Realty. Everyone I spoke to from before I even booked and had a million questions to the moment I turned in the keys at departure was friendly, accommodating, and went above an beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I couldn’t recommend them more. I was leery with some of the negative reviews but I’m glad I chose to book with them and we hope to next year as well. We arrived later than we had hoped so we called and said we couldn’t make it before they closed their office. They left the lights on, door unlocked, keys on the table, and a welcome bag when we arrived to the home. I had specific requests about no fragrances in the home and they accommodated it perfectly and asked if everything was alright when we got there. We had an issue with the A/C going out and called the after hours number around 6pm. They had someone out there within an hour and it was fixed in just a few minutes! Thanks Jekyll Realty for going the extra mile to make our stay great!
