Anchors Away on Jekyll Island | 3 Bed, 2 Bath

This newly-renovated, contemporary coastal duplex is a short walk to the beach. It is perfect for a family get-away with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in an established beach community.

Enjoy the private patio, a perfect place to relax by the fire or grill dinner after a day at the beach, or have your morning coffee while breathing in the salt air. We welcome your pets, and most of Jekyll Island beaches are pet-friendly with a leash. The yard is fully fenced in and includes a fire pit for you to sit around in the evenings.

The home is a 3-5 minute walk to beach access and a 2 minute drive to the beach.

Please note Jekyll Island is a state park and as part of conservation, there is a $10 per day parking fee collected at the time you enter the island. You can pay by cash or credit card.

Other things to note:
There is a $100 pet fee for those guests bringing pets.

Please consider purchasing travel insurance for your trip. This may cover you for instances of medical emergencies or inclement weather. We unfortunately can’t offer refunds for these types of situations so we want to ensure you’ve properly covered yourself.

For stays of 30 nights or more, we will collect a $750 refundable security deposit.

Excellent!
My friends and I stayed her, along with my golden retriever, and were so impressed with the amenities and location. The cottage is decorated impressively and it looks to be recently renovated. There was an expresso machine in addition to a Keurig, which we used often. Two bicycles were provided for our use at no extra charge, as well as beach chairs and beach towels. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes and we walked to watch the sunrise each morning. The neighborhood has a population of "beach deer" as we called them and we enjoyed seeing them on our walks. I highly recommend adventuring to the abandoned amphitheater. We saw Roseate Spoonbills, Great Cranes, and Tri-Colored Herons at the lake near the amphitheater. I highly recommend this property. We had a few questions during our stay and received very prompt responses.

Wonderful stay
The house is such a gem! Great location- although I don’t think you could have a bad location on Jekyll island! The whole island is wonderful. We came to town for a tennis tournament and even though it ended up getting cancelled due to rain- we still had a fabulous time on the island and at the home. There was plenty of space for us and we all enjoyed the home. Will definitely rent again!

Very clean, nicely furnished, great beds
This place was geared toward guest comfort. I can’t think of anything negative to say about it. The king bed was very comfortable, which sometimes is is not the case away from home. Four stars for location was only because it’s two blocks off the main beach road. Great place if you have dogs, The fenced backyard was wonderful for them. Highly recommend and would go back.

Summer vacation in Jekyll
This is our second year staying at Anchors Away. The place is well kept up and is perfect for my family. The fenced in backyard was great for our 4 legged kids. We were visited by deer each day which is a highlight for my wife. I highly recommend this place.

Everything you need for a beach vacation
Anchors Away had everything my family needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The kitchen had plenty of space and all the appliances we needed. It has a nice grill and fire pit on the patio plus a hose to wash off our sandy feet when we got back from the beach. The beach is an easy two block walk and much quieter than the beaches near the hotels. Everything was very clean, thank you for a wonderful stay on beautiful Jekyll Island!

Fabulous location and lovely home on Jekyll Island
We stayed at Anchors Away on Jekyll Island as a stop-over on our way from Ft. Myers to Boone, NC. We were impressed with the spacious flow of the house and lovely furnishings. Every room was clean and comfortable (including the main bedroom mattress) with nice linens and towels. The backyard has a deck area and fenced in lawn off the patio that was ample space for our border collies. This is a duplex home and it was quiet even with neighbors next door. The location is great as it is less than a 5minute walk to the beach access! The beach was beautiful, clean and not too crowded (we were there from 6/26-6/29/24). We enjoyed seeing the deer at various places along the walk to the beach as they appear to be comfortable in the neighborhood where it is quiet with lovely trees and vegetation. The property manager was available when we needed to communicate with her and she was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed a fabulous meal from the Beach House restaurant (shrimp and grits)! We did take-out since we did not want to dine-out with the pups and the restaurant is less than 5 minutes away and had great take-out service. We enjoyed our stay at Anchors Away and we will be making our reservation to return there next June! We highly recommend this lovely home is you visit Jekyll Island! Blaise and Karen

Perfect location
The house was cute and very clean. Initially had a little difficulty opening the door, the key code given didn't work, and it was late (after 11:00pm), but I messaged the host who was able to open the door for me. Everything else was smooth. I loved being able to walk to the beach. The master bed was comfortable and the coffee was much appreciated.

Anchors Away was a wonderful place to stay to access all that Jekyll Island has to offer. Centrally located, it was easy to get to golf, beach, shops, historic district and bike paths. It was so well equipped. If we had a question or issue, the owner responded within the hour after we emailed.

The most wonderful stay. Our hosts were prompt and responsive. The home was perfectly clean. Our kids loved the space and so did we. We had family come over for dinner and they want to book the house for their next vacation! We were able to walk to the beach, enjoy the back patio, or cook dinner in the lovely kitchen for a relaxing night in. Perfect for our family of four. Could not recommend this house more!
