Although I have written about five experiences to have on Jekyll Island, I thought I would put together some ideas for visiting Jekyll Island with a toddler. One of the Golden Isles, it can be enjoyed in every season. We often head there in the winter, and you all know I love destinations in the off-season. Especially in the south, because you never know what surprise nice weather you could receive. Where to stay on Jekyll Island with a toddler If you are staying with kids, I highly recommend the Home 2 Suites by Hilton. We have stayed their two years in a row, and the suite set-up with a small kitchen is ideal for families. You are close enough to walk to the beach and your stay may be more affordable, as well. You are able to cook, store groceries and have a separate room from when your little one is sleeping. The Westin on the island we have stayed at twice – once with kids, and once with two babes!

The Peach State offers so much more than humidity and a great aquarium. The Barrier Islands or Golden Isles, are an amazing travel destination and I can’t believe they are accessible in such a short time from Jacksonville. Day trip or weekend, enjoying the islands is very convenient. Jekyll Island makes for a wonderful escape, and these five experiences will make your weekend or day trip so enjoyable! There was a small part of us that wanted to add St. Simons Island as a part of our trip, but I am glad we strictly stayed put on Jekyll Island. St. Simons I assume deserves it’s own weekend. Where to stay We personally enjoyed staying at the Westin Jekyll Island. On the ocean side of the island, they have bike rentals, a pool and other wonderful facilities. Grab coffee and a snack from the Westin Cafe and head to their terrance to enjoy the ocean view. The location is in the heart of local shopping and places to dine. Next time I […]
