The two closest major airports are Jacksonville International Airport and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Each are about an hour away from Jekyll, and while Savannah is a little farther than Jacksonville, it has often had cheaper flights. (We would also highly recommend spending some time in Savannah while you're in Georgia -- it's Anna's favorite city!). There is also a smaller regional airport in Brunswick. It is much closer, but more expensive to fly into.
Renting a car is certainly your best option! While all wedding events will be taking place on the island--and it is a very small island--it is certainly much easier to get around with a car. Another option for travel once on the island is a Red Bug rental. We are also hoping to be able to pick groups of guests up from the airport! Stay tuned.
We do recommend staying on Jekyll Island while you're here with us! Please see jekyllisland.com/lodging/ for some great options. Also, please note under the "Jekyll Island" tab of our website, we have a couple of discounted hotel options! Unfortunately, Jekyll does not have many Air BnB options. Staying on either the neighboring island, St. Simon's Island, or in the small city on the mainland, Brunswick, would provide some other great options as well.
So, so bad. It means SO much to us that you're planning on celebrating with us!
