One of the "cottages" built during the Club Era on Jekyll Island. It is the home of the Jekyll Island Arts Association. Open daily for visits to the Arts Association gallery and gift shop. Great place for Jekyll Sandpiper renters to shop or view a bit of history.
Goodyear Cottage Frank Goodyear, a lumber baron, built the Goodyear Cottage in 1906. The Italian-styled home was restored in 1973. Today it houses the Jekyll Island Arts Association. Goodyear is the only mansion in The Historic District that is open
Treasures Every January and February the Jekyll Island Authority hosts Island Treasures. They hide glass globes in public places all over the island. So my sister and I spent a day searching. What a great way for us and our Jekyll Sandpiper Vacation Renters to explore the island.
Our group of 10 met for a fun filled weekend of football and beach combing. All 5 couples had a great time in this great house. With private rooms for each of us (and one to spare) we never felt crowded. The HUGE television made football watching perfect for our large group.
