About this property

'Aloft' on Jekyll Island

We invite you to visit "ALOFT." and Jekyll Island. "Aloft" is located in a state park, and only 35% of Jekyll Island can be developed. We are surrounded by marshlands and the sea. Our property is situated on a quiet street, nestled between the marshlands and stately oak and pine forests. This beautiful 900 square foot loft has a private entrance and on-site parking for one vehicle..

Just one minute away you'll discover the 18 miles of bike trails surrounding the island. You can bike to the fishing pier or the beach and arrive in mere minutes. Or, you may want to visit the Historic District, where over 300 millionaires of the Gilded Age once lived. Movers and shakers of the times like J.P Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, William Rockefeller and others built homes and a Club House on our island, beginning in 1888. They typically spent 3-5 months down here yearly for the next 54 years. Their homes are being restored and many can be visited and appreciated.

We also have a world renowned Sea Turtle Center, where injured and sick turtles are flown in for surgeries and rehabilitation, and later released back to the sea. Bike toward the south and visit the Tidelands Nature Center, enjoy bird and wildlife viewing, or swim and sunbath on our 12 miles of white sand beaches. We have a seasonal Summer Waves Water Park, four famous golf courses, Red-bug Motorcar rentals, carriage rides and trolley tours. Also, for the adventurous, scout out the hideaways of our local alligators! All this and so much more!

All activities are within minutes. Bed linens, towels and kitchen items are furnished. You bring food, toiletries and enjoy.

All fees( cleaning, etc), including Jekyll Island administrative fees, are included in the daily, weekly or monthly rate. Reservation deposits and final payments are collected by VRBO. Please note that we will not violate our user agreement with VRBO and work deals outside of the VRBO payment platform.

Your reservation deposit is non-refundable but may be used to change/reserve dates (pending availability) for up to one year after the original reservation date.

Reservations less than 14 days prior to arrival require payment in full. A two night minimum stay is required.

Click "Ask Owner" for a customized quote for stays of longer that 30 nights. VRBO quotes for stays longer than 30 days do not accurately calculate tax rates for the entire rental period.

"Aloft" is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in between the Jekyll Island airport and the campground. That puts us 5 to 10 minutes from the Jekyll Island beaches by car. Bicycle paths start one block from the house.

Also, you should know that "Aloft" is an open and airy unit with lots of natural light. It has a private entrance through our garage. You may hear the garage door open and close at 6:30 or so in the morning during the days of Monday through Friday (also some occasional weekend days) as that is the time that we go to work. That has not bothered most of our guests, but we don't want that to be a surprise. Otherwise the unit is very quiet. Kitchen facilities are limited. Cooking facilities are a toaster oven, a two burner hot-plate and a microwave. The refrigerator is hotel sized.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We are happy to help you determine if "Aloft" will work for you.

We await you at 'ALOFT' on Jekyll Island: 'Georgia's Jewel.'

Keywords: Studio Loft

Te invitamos a visitar 'ALOFT'. Estamos ubicados en un parque estatal y solo se puede desarrollar el 35% de la isla Jekyll. Estamos rodeados de marismas y el mar. Nuestra propiedad está situada en una calle tranquila, enclavada entre las marismas y los majestuosos bosques de robles y pinos. Este hermoso loft de 900 pies cuadrados tiene una entrada privada y estacionamiento en el lugar para un vehículo.

A solo un minuto de distancia descubrirás las 18 millas de senderos para bicicletas que rodean la isla. Puede andar en bicicleta hasta el muelle de pesca y la playa y llegar en cinco minutos. O bien, puede visitar el distrito histórico, donde vivieron más de 300 millonarios. Construyeron casas y una casa club en nuestra isla, a partir de 1888. Por lo general, pasan de 3 a 5 meses por año aquí durante los próximos 54 años. Sus casas están siendo restauradas y muchas pueden ser visitadas y apreciadas.

También tenemos un Centro de Tortugas Marinas de renombre mundial, donde las tortugas heridas y enfermas son trasladadas para cirugías y rehabilitación, y luego son devueltas al mar. Pasee en bicicleta hacia el sur y visite el Centro de Naturaleza Tidelands, disfrute de la observación de aves y vida silvestre, o nade y tome el sol en nuestras 12 millas de playas de arena blanca. Tenemos un parque acuático Summer Waves de temporada, cuatro famosos campos de golf, alquiler de automóviles Red-bug y paseos en carruajes y recorridos en tranvía. Además, para los aventureros, ¡explora los escondites de nuestros caimanes locales! ¡Todo esto y mucho más!

Todas las actividades son en minutos. Ropa de cama, toallas y artículos de cocina están amuebladas. Traes comida, artículos de tocador y disfrutas.

Se requiere un depósito del 50% para todas las estancias y el saldo debe pagarse 14 días antes de la fecha de llegada. El depósito no es reembolsable, pero se puede usar para cambiar / reservar fechas (disponibilidad pendiente) hasta un año después de la fecha de reserva original. Las reservas con menos de 14 días de anticipación requieren el pago total. Se requiere una estadía mínima de dos noches. Haga clic en "Preguntar al propietario" para obtener un presupuesto personalizado para estancias de más de 30 noches. Las cotizaciones de VRBO para estancias de más de 30 días no calculan con precisión las tasas impositivas y otros factores

"Aloft" está ubicado en un tranquilo vecindario residencial entre el aeropuerto de Jekyll Island y el campamento. Eso nos lleva de 5 a 10 minutos en coche de las playas de la isla Jekyll. Los senderos para bicicletas comienzan a una cuadra de la casa.

Además, debe saber que "Aloft" es una unidad abierta y ventilada con mucha luz natural. Tiene una entrada privada a través de nuestro garaje. Es posible que escuche que la puerta del garaje se abre y cierra a las 6:30 más o menos en la mañana durante los días de lunes a viernes (también algunos días de fin de semana ocasionales) ya que es el momento en que vamos a trabajar. Eso no ha molestado a la mayoría de nuestros huéspedes, pero no queremos que sea una sorpresa. De lo contrario, la unidad es muy silenciosa. Las instalaciones de cocina son limitadas. Las instalaciones de cocina son un horno tostador, una placa de dos fuegos y un microondas. El refrigerador es del tamaño de un hotel.

Háganos saber si tiene alguna pregunta adicional y si "Aloft" funcionará para usted.

Te esperamos en 'ALOFT' en la isla Jekyll: 'La joya de Georgia'.

Aloft
Pam and Mike are kind, welcoming hosts, providing us with all kinds of Jekyll Island info. The loft is spacious with eclectic touches and cozy nooks. We enjoyed the deck in the tree tops. The welcome basket was an added bonus.

A quiet getaway
Aloft is a large space above the owner's garage. We were surprised how big it was, although the kitchen and bathroom are both quite small. Not a problem at all for us though. The bed is comfortable but very firm. The place is very quiet all the time and especially at night. There is a lovely little porch that is up in the trees and great for morning coffee. The kitchen is well appointed but again, small so dont expect to make anything elaborate. For us, the place was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Mueller

Host profile image
Pam and Michael Mueller have lived in coastal Georgia for ten years. They met here in 1988, while studying law enforcement at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick, GA. At that point, they made a pact that if they were to marry one day, they would return to live in the Golden Isles. Seven years later their dreams came true! Michael continues working with law enforcement, now teaching Physical Training to Homeland Security students at FLETC. Pamela has become a children's author. She has written eight award-winning books and will release her first adult book in 2010. The Muellers bought a home with an 'undeveloped' loft and decided to refurbish it and turn it into a rental unit. This has turned into a delightful abode, and they very much enjoy sharing their little piece of paradise with others.

Why they chose this property

We remodeled the loft of our residence for our frequent guests and visiting family. When it is not occupied, we wanted to rent it out and share the magic of Jekyll Island with others who yearn to spend their free time in 'splendid paradise,' which incidentally, is the title of Pamela's new book and tells the story of Jekyll Island.

What makes this property unique

"Aloft" is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within easy reach of bicycle/walking paths with marsh views. Our guests frequently express delight that "Aloft" is much more than what the pictures lead them to believe. We invite you to enjoy our special part of the world.
