Top Driftwood Beach Hotel Reviews

Queens Court

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute and vintage vibe. Close to all the shops in the village and walking distance to the pier and lighthouse. Room and bathroom were spotless - very clean. It’s an older facility and definitely a motor inn/ motel type building so naturally there’s some minor wear and tear but none of it bothered me. AC unit in the room is noisy but I carry ear plugs with me. Had a comfortable good night sleep, enjoyed the vibe of the place, and both the night and morning front desk staff were super nice to chat with!"

Ocean Lodge Resort

8/10 Good

"Property is clean and attractive. Great location. The housekeepers we ran into were super nice and helpful. However, communication with host/staff was unsuccessful. We tried twice to call the number provided and left messages about needing more bedding for the sofabed and a leaking ac unit (bedroom) with no answer and no return call. Plan to be on your own staying here."

Driftwood paradise, ocean view!

8/10 Good

"Great ocean view, very convenient walk to Driftwood Beach. Loved the Villa complex and the access to the private beachfront! Check-in was very smooth as Host allowed us to go ahead and check in about an hour or so earlier than 4pm. The negatives: condo cleaning did not appear completed. The printed “book” about the procedures was not updated! (Never figured procedure to access DirectTV and We never figured out the television in bedroom!!) Cyberlock on front door worked to unlock but not to lock on exit (host notified us of key box for manual key). It would have been nice to have a key to patio door to exit to beach and lock on exterior!! The plastic shower liner was dirty….should have been replaced!! But really wasn’t needed. Had to dump water from dehumidifier 2X per day!!!! Positives far outweigh the negatives!!!! We would stay again!!! Jekyll Island is a hidden gem!!!!"

Villa 108 - 2 bedroom. 1 bathroom

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome. Was a great place for my family plus fury friend. Had everything we needed. Close to Driftwood. Quiet. I’d go back."
