Villas by the Sea Review

This is the most northerly and, after the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, one of the most upscale accommodations on Jekyll Island. Not a conventional hotel, it's a compound of condominium-style apartments scattered among 10 two-story buildings in a 17-acre forest. The 2,000 feet of ocean frontage is longer than that of any other hotel on the island. You'll have to cross a raised boardwalk bridging a lawn and a rocky breakwater to reach it. The villas are privately owned, which means they are individually furnished, and they are spacious one-, two-, or three-bedroom vacation condos. The condos contain kitchens, a separate living and dining area, plus private patios or balconies. Minisuites without full kitchens are also available for rent. On-site is the Surf Steakhouse, plus the Riptides Lounge, offering live entertainment.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
