This was our first family trip to Jekyll and loved how laid back it was. Traffic was amazing and we were able to easily find parking. The rental was nice, but could use a deep cleaning. Other than that, it had plenty of room for our family and plenty of space to spread out, but also come together for meals. The garage is not usable as there are things stored in there. We were also very happy that someone came out to spray for ants. Whatever they used worked and we were able to enjoy time on the patio. Take note that they are all over the island, though and you will need bug spray. Although we thought we could easily access the beach from the house, several things were not in our favor. First, the steps leading down to the water needed repair. Take caution because the bottom two steps are missing. There are blue crab hanging out by the steps as well, and they were cool to look at. Also, the water was up to the rocks most of the day. You could walk early morning and late night. This didn't stop us from going about a mile down the road to a public beach and it was very nice! We enjoyed a great meal at The Beach House which was also close by and we would recommend the prime rib sandwich and burger! We would recommend that you purchase groceries elsewhere since they are overpriced at the local market. Overall, we are thankful to spend time together as a family here at 6 Ellis Lane.
