Jekyll Island isn’t your typical resort island. It was once a private retreat for our country’s wealthiest families before it was bought by the state of Georgia.
It’s also notable for what you won’t find: traffic lights, high rises and huge rental homes. The island can only ever be one-third developed.
In addition to its beautiful beaches, visitors come to stay at the iconic Jekyll Island Club Resort, which started as the clubhouse for families like the Vanderbilts, Morgans and Pulitzers. And now there’s the new beachside property, Jekyll Ocean Club. As a guest at either, you can enjoy both.
Please see our story on Jekyll Island.

Our first visit to Jekyll the beautiful inn was being restored, possibly mid 60’s as my husband was commercial electrical maintenance in Atlanta he was amazed to see the old old wires, I was more interested in the books left in library and clothing in closets
