Jekyll Island, GA

Representing approximately 44% of the Fund, Jekyll Island is a barrier island in Georgia, in between Savannah and Jacksonville. The island has seen more than $330 million public and private investment over the last 15 years. Demand has surged with 5% annual growth in visitation over the past 10 years, while supply is constrained by law—1.2% of the remaining developable land on the island is available to be developed. Retreat has nearly 40 years of experience developing real estate on Jekyll Island.

Courtyard & Residence Inn by Marriott

Developed in 2021 on oceanfront land, this is the island’s newest hotel. The property has 209 keys and features two of Marriott’s most powerful brands under one roof. The Courtyard & Residence Inn stands as the only “Upscale” hotel on the island as defined by Smith Travel Research. The fund is acquiring shares in the hotel at a discount to the cost to build it anew.

Westin by Marriott

This oceanfront hotel sits in the Beach Village, a short walk from the bustling Jekyll Island Convention Center. The Westin has 200 keys, 5,350 SF of meeting space, a full-service restaurant, and fitness center. The hotel is undergoing a renovation and the Fund is acquiring shares in the hotel at a discount to the cost to build it anew.

This 6.9-acre parcel of land is the last remaining undeveloped oceanfront parcel on Jekyll Island. Seaside Retreat will consist of 25 single-family homes, uniquely tailored to the topography of the site, while maximizing views for homeowners, and setting a new standard for sustainability on the island.
