Welcome to your slice of coastal paradise at the Cottages of Jekyll Island on the Atlantic Ocean. This charming three bedroom and three and a half bath beach cottage is just steps away from the beach and ocean and delivers the perfect blend of relaxation and resort-style living—whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a cherished second home, or a vacation rental investment. This cottage is sold "turnkey"; just bring your clothes and start enjoying all that the Cottages and Jekyll Island offer. This is outdoor living at its best! One of the standout features here is the larger yard and green space framed by a magnificent live oak tree. There is an expansive covered screen porch that seamlessly flows into a spacious brick-paver patio—ideal for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The patio is thoughtfully appointed with a fire pit, bike rack, and lush green space that provides privacy and tranquility. An upper screened balcony on the second floor offers even more space to catch the island breeze and take in those gorgeous coastal views. **Thoughtfully Designed Interior** The primary suite is located on the first floor for convenience, featuring a granite double vanity and a spacious walk-in tile shower. Upstairs, two ensuite guest bedrooms each have their own full baths—one with a walk-in shower, the other with a tub-shower combination, perfect for guests. Engineered hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, while plantation shutters add classic elegance and light control. **Resort-Style Community Amenities** The Cottages of Jekyll Island puts everything at your fingertips: an oceanfront zero-entry pool, a pristine beach deck with direct beach access, a well-equipped clubhouse, a fitness center, fire pit gathering spaces, and additional kitchen and bathroom facilities. **Jekyll Island Living** Beyond your cottage, Jekyll Island offers miles of beautiful beaches, scenic bike paths, championship golf courses, tennis courts, nature trails, a marina, and a fishing pier.
