فيلاز باي ذا سي ريزورت آند كونفرنس سنتر

Another wonderful stay at Villas by the Sea! Perfect spot for a family get-together. We enjoyed staying in a light and airy villa where sharing a living room, dining room and kitchen was so much nicer than separate hotel rooms. This oceanside property with its ancient oak trees is the most beautiful spot on the island - and just steps away from the ghost forest of Driftwood Beach. We enjoyed alligator watching in the gazebo at nearby Horton Pond, rented bikes from the Villas office, cooled off in the pool, and hung out at the pavilion and boardwalk on the beach. It’s a comfy, beautiful and affordable place to stay with thoughtful and caring staff. Can’t wait to go back!

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.

The place was amazing and beautiful. The quiet atmosphere and with easy access to the beach was phenomenal. Would love to come back.

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

We got the first floor so not the ocean view we were hoping for. We could barely see the top of the water. But cleanliness was a 5/5. It’s quiet as well. Beach access is still closed and high tides in that area are rough.

My husband and I stayed at Villa‘s by the sea unit 276 over the memorial Day weekend 2025. We made the reservations in September 2024 due to it being a busy weekend. 30 days prior to our rental date I received an email requesting the rental balance-I called Parker Kaufman to confirm receipt of payment at least twice prior to our rental date Imagine our surprise when we went to take a walk on the beach and were met with boulders and NO BEACH ACCESS-when contacting Parker Kaufman I was met with an “attitude” and told they had no control over hurricanes. They certainly had no problem contacting me requesting the balance of my money, and I feel it should have been mentioned that there was no beach access due to the storm I will never use Parker Kaufman for any future visits
