The gal who was working the day we stopped by was welcoming and friendly. We had a nice conversation. The only downside is that there are no public bathrooms in the welcome center. We were directed across the street to the municipal building/library. Right outside the museum is one of the islands tree spirits. You can start your search here. Enjoy your visit!

This ReStore store is so much more laid back and real than many near me in Philly. They don't have…read morebox store donations, it's all organic from local donations, which means things get re-used instead of wasting resources on more new sh!t to eventually clog our trash piles. They had a little of everything here. I didn't see tile or flooring like I do at home, but it may be hit or miss. They had tubs, toilets, sinks, vanities, doors, windows, home decor, furniture, lighting, etc. They had more household goods than I see at other stores, so it's a thrift shop too. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. They had 30% off the first week I was there, and 40% off the next week when I returned. I was told the manager usually does a whole-store sale instead of rotating department-only sales like at home. That was great! Items looked fairly priced to me. Some seemed high, some were great deals, but overall a fair price. Remember that manager discount really makes it a much better price too! I saw a lot of cool games, sport items, and some of the light fixtures were awesome and I wish I'd driven down to take them home. I'm sure there are different great finds every time you visit. We visited to check it out to compare to ones at home, and I was surprised to see a few toys, which my son immediately begged to get. First thought was they can't go home on the plane, but for $1 to get a sturdy big bucket ($5 new at Walmart), and $1 for a tractor trailer truck... minus 30% off everything in store, came to $1.50 with tax. Why not? We just donated it back at the end of our stay. I also donated the new unused rolls of paper towels, tp, rubbing alcohol, tissues, and excess Easter egg hunt prizes we couldn't take with us. They can always use this stuff in the bathroom or wherever. Just a thought to all the vacation renters nearby who have to leave things behind. I'm sure the cleaning people have seen so much of it they just throw it out, but it could go to a thrift store or food bank in Brunswick.

I asked if they were going to change because the ckerk answered, "It is not Christmas. Thanksgiving just ended.

We heart The Farm at Oatland North!…read more Located at the beginning of the driveway to Cannon's Point Preserve (another great spot), on your right, is a dirt road leading to a wonderful sanctuary for animals! Open every Sunday, 2-4pm, or by appointment. I was so missing "The Farm" the Sunday after my trip to the Golden Isles this year. I visit animal sanctuaries frequently, and they are all wonderful, but this place was especially magical to me. Really positive energy and happy hopeful souls. These are such deserving, but also lucky animals who get to find their forever home at The Farm at Oatland North. Here you will find a bunch of horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, and cats. Dogs have lived here (and probably other species too), but currently those mentioned are the animal residents. You may feed the animals but please make sure you ask volunteers who may eat what. A senior woman was going around with sugar cubes ignorant of (or not bothering to care about) the fact that one of the horses has a heart condition, among other health concerns in other animals. The white donkey, Wonkey, who walks around to meet people, has lost nearly all his teeth, so we made sure to have cooked carrots mushy enough for him not to choke. The volunteers told us that the week before so we took note, but others were just trying to give him anything. If you truly want to show care toward these animals, please think through the foods you give them. The ASPCA offers a whole list of foods toxic to horses, cats, dogs, etc. take a look before you bring foods. Avocados, grapes, onions, and citrus are just a few foods that are completely toxic to most animals. We met volunteers, Sally, Diane, and Leanne, and they were so kind and engaging. Often volunteers at rescues and sanctuaries are kind, but usually preoccupied with all the work they are doing. Not these ladies! They sat and talked with us in the Adirondack chair circle for a good 20min on Christmas Eve, and we saw Sally and Diane again on New Year's Eve, just as friendly and sweet. Our first visit, Sally took us around and gave us backstories on most of the animals. She taught us a lot of horse facts too (my kid now wants a horse). Second visit, we met two of the pigs' "mom" who raised them in her apartment when they were piglets. All of the volunteers have hearts of gold, and I told them I have never felt such calm and loving animals as I did here (and we visit a LOT of rescues, sanctuaries, zoos, etc). We could not have been more impressed with the love and trust between humans and animals at this farm. The horses loved our 8lbs of apples. Diane had a core-er in the office, and gave us a feed bucket to put slices in, which really made feeding easy. Sally had explained we need to use our voice to call Tex over because he's blind. My son loved being patient and using voice to call him over. Tex would paw at the ground for another apple slice. The horses were so excited for the snacks because visiting time is always before dinner served at 4 when everyone leaves. Anything visitors bring are well-loved hors d'oeuvres! The cats are all so loving too. They all look super healthy, but we made sure to wash our hands before going home to our own kitties (we take our kitties to GA), because you can never tell if a cat has FIP, a coronavirus that can be latent in some carrier cats, and deadly in others (I lost a cat to FIP). So pat and enjoy these kitties for sure, just do a COVID-style soap and water scrub before touching your pets at home. This is our 4th year visiting Jekyll and we just found out about "The Farm" even after visiting Cannon's Point our first year! Oh well, wish we'd found them sooner but shoutout to StSiMoms.com for tipping me off to this great place! Love love love The Farm at Oatland North!

Staff had made a big effort to organize things but none of the customers were trying to keep it that way. It was an effort to look through a lot of half-functional stuff to find useful items, though they were departmented, which helps. I did not look long at any department other than bakeware but this was a medium-sized store with a decent volume of items. Visiting Jekyll, I was in need of extra baking dishes for Xmas dinner. Every year our rentals never have enough. I did find a glass bread baking dish, which wasn't exactly what I needed but close enough. Shelves looked sparse but it could've been the time of year. There were a lot of people there shopping. I had never been to a thrift store so close to Christmas so idk if it was for gifts or something like last-minute spare housewares like I needed? I do need to add that no one was available on the floor for assistance and employees were doubled up at registers just to talk to each other. I felt like I was interrupting the ladies to pay.

I took a sunset walk, a gamble, and it was well worth it.

If you want to find a place where the only sounds you'll hear are angry squirrels fighting over nuts...you'll certainly find that here. I wonder if there's some kind of secret squirrel fight club out there...sounded like it for a bit. I digress... It's a beautiful trail, soft soil and crunchy leaves. Surrounded by the sounds of nature and silence. Which way will you turn?
