Hotel
If you plan to stay 2 nights or more, please join us at Villas by the Sea, which will be our "home base." Their lovely studio, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condos are nestled amongst live oaks. Each condo is "islandside" or "oceanside" (just a few are actually "ocean view"). Minimum stay is 2 nights. Reservations are refundable if cancelled 3 or more days in advance. Their rates are comparable, or much lower, than other hotels on the island. Please call 1-800-841-6262 or 912-635-2521 and mention KING-GERENCSER WEDDING to check if there are still group rate rooms available. ** If you'd like to share a condo with other guests, please let us know. We'd love to put you in touch with one another, or help find creative solutions.**
House Or Rental
There are a number of hotels on island, including the lovely, historic Jekyll Island Club Hotel (www.jekyllclub.com). Brunswick, GA is a beautiful 20 minute drive from Jekyll, and the older part of town (the southernmost part of the city) is a mellow, fascinating area to find an AirBnB. Jekyll Island has a campground, which has both RV and tent camping spaces. It can be pretty muggy and buggy in June, however. But the campground is really close to Villas by the Sea, where you're welcome to come and chill in our family condos whenever! It's possible to rent a house or find and AirBnB on Jekyll, though most have long minimum stays.
Flight
Jacksonville Int'l Airport is 1 hour from Jekyll Island, served by many airlines and car rental companies. Brunswick Golden Isles Airport is 30 minutes away, with about 3 Delta flights each day. Savannah-Hilton Head Int'l Airport is 1.5 hours from Jekyll. You can get to Jekyll from all these airports with a rental car, Lyft/Uber, or taxi.
Travel Note
Jekyll Island is reached by a 6-mile causeway from the mainland. The whole island is a state park (even though it has neighborhoods and stuff). If you bring a car, kindly note that there is an $8/day vehicle entry fee, which provides the main source of the park's operating budget. In exchange, Jekyll gives each of us a priceless experience! If you don't drive to Jekyll, no worries! You can: > Ride with other guests to wedding events. > Rent an electric cart. (www.redbugmotors.com) > Rent bicycles. > Join others to explore the island. > Easily walk to many of our favorite island spots!
