Highlights
Location: Beachfront at Great Dunes, steps from sand
Pool: Largest outdoor heated fresh water pool on Jekyll Island
Activities: Free bike rental and shuttle to historic district
Pet: Pet-friendly with special accommodations
“The prime beachfront location is undoubtedly the strongest asset here, with easy access to the sand and the island's extensive bike paths. While the convenience of on-site bike rentals is a notable advantage for exploring, a more consistent attention to room upkeep and a warmer reception at the front desk would elevate the overall guest experience.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Usgeorgia
