Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, you can follow in the footsteps of luminaries such as JP Morgan, William Rockefeller and William Vanderbilt who all stayed on Jekyll Island in its heyday, Today, both the main building and its surrounding cottages speak of a comfort of a bygone age with gloriously upholstered sofas on the verandas that you never want to leave and antique furniture throughout.

There are several dining options ranging from the Grand Dining Room to the much less formal Courtyard at Crane or the Pub which features a hand-carved bar dating back to the time of the millionaires. Afternoon tea is served at 4pm in the Riverview Lounge.

Activities include a Tournament Level Croquet pitch, a fitness rooms, bicycle rentals, swimming pool and a spa. The Jekyll Island Tennis Centre has 13 outdoor clay courts and the of course, there is the beach. Driftwood Beach is a treat in store, a horse-drawn carriage will take you around the historical district or Frontier America can organise a birding tour for you through the maritime forest and marshes. Jekyll has a fantastic diversity of bird life. 63 holes of golf are on the island plus two mini-golf courses.

New York to Toronto – 2015 (Smith)

I have just returned from a tailor made holiday made possible by Jeannette Dembrey. This was the first time I had ever organised such a major holiday and as it was a gift for my children after my retirement it was really important to get things right. I went to quite a few agencies but Jeannette was way better than any of the people who I spoke to. She was so professional and wanted me to get the best from the money I could afford. The holiday was absolutely amazing and everything went like clockwork. Jeannette had thought of everything even the connections between places and the things we would do in each town. We stayed in 6 hotels altogether starting in New York and ending in Toronto. I am amazed at how smoothly it went. Even my son who has travelled all over the world was impressed with the way things had been organised. I cannot praise Jeannette enough for her professionalism. Thank you Jeannette. I would recommend you to anyone with the satisfaction of knowing that you did an amazing job. Thank you.
