What a pleasant place Driftwood was. We were surprised at the spaciousness of the property. The kitchen was fully stocked, which allowed us to prepare any meal we wanted. There was plenty of space for everyone and the beds were comfortable. There are many TVs. The main living room TV had access to all of our streaming platforms.
The island is great! There are plenty of activities for the whole family. We enjoyed a fishing trip, a historic tour and a sunset dolphin tour. Since the property is a little bit of a walk, we chose to drive to a different beach each day. All were similar and pleasant. Also, there is a growth restriction on the island, so there are a few large hotels, but they do not create the overcrowding like many beaches. There is also minimal traffic.
The property was a 10 minute walk from a sizable beach. The beaches on Jekyll are hard pack, so you can easily role a wagon full of stuff to your sunning location. For what ever reason, the waves are not large on Jekyll, so if you’re looking to get pummeled all day, this is not the place.
The coolest part of the property is the abundant wildlife. We had a small herd of deer that visited our property everyday. They seem to have little fear of people and just went on about their business as we did our daily activities. Be mindful of the raccoons though. There is a reason they are called trash pandas. They were nightly, loud visitors to our cans.
We will return to this place.
