The resort features a large outdoor pool with loungers, bike rentals, and a fitness center. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available on the upper sandy beach. Guests can explore Horton Pond for wildlife sightings or use the oceanfront pavilion with a boardwalk. Jekyll Island's biking trails, golf courses, and water park are nearby.

The resort hosts weddings with packages including Driftwood Beach ceremonies, licensed officiants, and villa accommodations. The Grand Oaks Ballroom accommodates up to 200 guests. Onsite coordinators assist with setup, and local vendors provide photography and floral services. Weekday and winter wedding discounts are available.

“Nestled on Jekyll Island, the villas offer the space of a home with full kitchens, ideal for families seeking a relaxed beach vacation. I appreciate the proximity to Driftwood Beach and the on-site bike rentals, perfect for exploring the island's natural beauty. While some may find the walk to the beach a bit further than expected, the retreat-like setting among 17 acres of lush landscape more than compensates.”
