Very clean. You get your own private Villa with a kitchenette in it. Very quiet and comfortable. Comes with a washer and dryer. Perfect for a getaway. Highly recommend!
Great staff! Lisa helped us with some issues the morning after check in, and the rest of our stay was pleasant. St. James Bay is always a nice place to stay!
Lovely accommodations however, they changed our key code after the first nights stay and then it wouldn’t work. We came in late and couldn’t get into our room. No one would answer the 1-800 number. If the restaurant staff had not still been cleaning the restaurant after 10:00pm I don’t know what we would have done. There is no one there to help you if there is a problem or if you need a master key! And their number proved to be useless. Was thankful for the restaurant staff for all of their help in trying to get someone to help us get in. The restaurant is also very expensive to eat at. My husband and I shared a pasta and we both drank water. So three entrees, a kids meal and appetizer was a$170.00 after tip. Can’t afford to eat there but there isn’t much else around. Pool was great and property is always clean and well maintained. Staff is very friendly. Nice place for the money.

Property layout to access their amenities was good.
My wife and I stayed here while visiting family in Carrabelle, the Villa we stayed in as well the grounds in general were clean and very well kept up. The most memorable thing of the trip would be the staff, the restaurant manager and the server during the days we were there made us feel like we have known them for years.

The villa we stayed in was a bit dated - the kitchen appliances were rather old and there were no outlets for phone chargers on the nightstand between the 2 beds. The shower curtain was too low and some insects were crawling around the bathroom floor. The worst part were the floors which were not clean plus the fact that you had to take your trash with you when leaving or pay an extra $100! However the beds were clean and comfortable; the AC system worked well; the water was hot; and the villa was spacious and quiet. A rating of 3.5 to 4.0 out of 5.
Staying in the villas was like staying in a little cottage! The property is beautiful and the employees at the restaurant were all amazing. We will definitely visit again! 10 out of 10!
Staff were friendly and professional. I would suggest dark out shades or adding drapes to the bedroom area windows. The blinds alone allow to much light for sleeping.
The only down side we found several roaches in our apartment and the pool in the apartment side needs some major renovation.
The other pool by the restaurant is amazing and the staff and the restaurant it’s amazing.
We came to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful time golfing and fishing. Our condo was spacious and homey. The kitchen was well stocked and our beds were comfortable. This isn’t our first time here and won’t be our last.
Arrived after 7pm... No one there for Check in; asked for help at the restaurant, and Jayda was awesome ! ...
Helped us get the info we needed to get into our Villa.
The resort was very pretty. Grounds are well kept. Facilities are in nice condition. Pretty cool that you have your own washer/dryer in the villas. If you want a beach, there isn't too much close by. Carrabelle beach is about 20 minutes away, nice, but small, and no shops or restaurants near.
St. George Island is about 30 minutes. Worth the drive. Good beach, lots of shops, lighthouse & museum, etc.
The most beautiful little casita. Beautiful setting along the golf course. Highly recommend and wish I wasn’t just passing thru, woukd have loved to stay longer.
