YOUR JEKYLL ISLAND VACATION HOME
Sundowner is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath Jekyll Island rental home on the marsh side of the island. With vaulted ceilings, bold color, and a view of the Sydney Lanier Bridge from your front firepit, this home is anything but ordinary.
Two full living rooms (one with a full-sized pool table), a wall of glass sliders, and wide-open sightlines make it perfect for groups who want space to spread out without splitting up. You're close to everything—but far enough to get away with anything.
Looking for something to do your first afternoon? Book a spot on Jekyll Island Dolphin Tours, recently named TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best for boat tours in the U.S. Bring a cooler and whatever you’d like to sip on. Dolphins are basically guaranteed—but even if they bail, you’ll still have fun and a view to remember.

Get out and eat out. Start with Zachary’s Riverhouse. It's just a 7-minute drive away. Make sure to sit outside. Order wild Georgia shrimp while the sun sets over the marina. For something a little louder, head to The Wharf for a low country boil with live music right on the water. Or slow things down with brunch at The Grand Dining Room inside the Jekyll Island Club, just 2.2 miles away. Built in the 1880s as a private resort for the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Vanderbilts, it now serves white-tableclothed, elegantly indulgent fare with flair—prepared for those with taste, but priced for those with sense. Worth every cent.
If you're up for a little adventure, grab a cruiser from Beachside Bike Rentals and explore the island’s 25+ miles of trails. Driftwood Beach is a 5-minute drive and feels like stepping into a black-and-white photograph. Horton Pond, just six minutes away, is your best shot at spotting an alligator. The bird sanctuary hidden inside the Jekyll Island Campground is only four minutes away and always full of life. Just go in. You’re allowed. Trust me. And if you like your detours weird and wonderful, make time for the Jekyll Island Amphitheater Ruins—1.6 miles from the house and completely overgrown, graffitied, and haunting in the best way.
GOLF ON JEKYLL ISLAND
Planning a golf trip? Sundowner works particularly well for foursomes and small golf groups. Jekyll Island Golf Club and the newly restored Great Dunes Golf Course are about 1.6 miles away, a 5-minute drive.
Originally designed by Walter Travis in 1928 and reopened after an extensive restoration, Great Dunes combines Atlantic Ocean views, coastal dunes, maritime forest, and classic Golden Age architecture in a way that’s difficult to find on a public course today.
