Top Driftwood Beach Hotel Reviews

Villas By the Sea Resort & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"The Front Desk Receptionist were Very polite"

Ocean Lodge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great location, I had a beach view. It is just steps away from public beach access and just down from the King and Prince. It is a little dated and the pocket doors stick a little but totally worth the price. I only wish I could stay longer. One thing to note is the restaurant is only open Thursday-Sunday so I missed out on that. I will definitely return."

Villas By The Sea Resort - Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful experience at Jekyll Island. The suite was the perfect size for my husband and I. It was perfectly clean and steps from the beach. Parking was great and the restaurant serves delicious food! The kitchen was clean and well stocked with all necessary tools. New full sized appliances and comfortable furniture--except the bed. It was a bit hard for our tastes, but to each his own! Lol. I was there on business but my husband enjoyed the beach and area. Thank you for making our time there even more special!"

Plenty of restaurants and fun things to do without leaving the island. The owners were very eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Would definitely return to this unit."
