ISLAND LIVING

April 2-6, 2026

There is something to be said for island living. Jekyll Island has a long history with a diversity of people using it as a living space. Indigenous people used it as a hunting ground, plantation owners using enslaved people to grow cotton of Often described as the "richest, most inaccessible club in the world," its membership included names like J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Joseph Pulitzer, and the Vanderbilts. At its peak, the club’s members controlled roughly one-sixth of the world's wealth.

The Jekyll Island marina was pretty lame. The pool was filthy and the restaurant overlooked the space so there was a bit of voyeurism in the whole thing, so never did use it.
