A Little Gem was just that - an absolute gem! The home was perfect in every way! The location is amazing - a great central spot for us to bike everywhere and walk many places as well. And then the home was so comfortable and luxurious for our family. The decor was modern and soothing and the house was so clean! The kitchen was well-stocked - we had all of the tools we needed to cook dinners for a week! We loved the elevator and used it nightly to bring our food upstairs to the beautiful dining area. Even with a few colder days were were able to enjoy the beautiful views from all of the upstairs rooms. Doug was very attentive - offered great recommendations in advance and helped with any questions we had. We would absolutely love to return to A Little Gem!

Our adult children met us at Jekyll Island for our Christmas family holiday. The Island is a great family sentimental favorite as we have visited frequently since our kids were first born. Doug’s home is the ultimate in Island luxury at an affordable price. Exquisite in construction and design, supremely comfortable in a fabulously decorated style. The kitchen spacious for our family of 6 adults who enjoy cooking family dinners together. The ocean views are superb from two comfortably furnished spacious balconies, one is equipped with a fantastic grill. Having a personal elevator was a luxurious experience and quite handy for using the provided cart for ocean views dining. This is the most fabulous of places we have ever stayed. And as frequent visitors, this is Jekyll’s finest. Doug is an incredibly attentive host with his gracious and generous hospitality. We highly recommend a Little Gem to all and hope to return ourselves on future family visits.

We loved staying here! It’s a beautifully decorated house that doesn’t feel like your standard Airbnb—it feels like an inviting, posh, luxurious home that is yours for the weekend. It is also incredibly clean and well-taken care of. Highly recommend. :)

A true gem! Doug’s place on Jekyll Island was perfect for our family. The house is beautiful, spacious, and had everything we needed—from beach gear (bikes, wagons, towels) to kid-friendly amenities like a pack and play, highchair, games, and a cozy TV room. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach and near bike trails and island attractions. Doug was a wonderful host—friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations. We had an amazing stay and would absolutely come back!
