I spent 1 week at this wonderful property from June 28-July 5 with my daughter, son-in-law and 2 year old granddaughter. St. James Plantation is a large upscale gated community with wonderful amenities that is also quiet and relaxing . This condo is huge! It has a very well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, pretty decor and comfy beds. The screened porch had comfortable furniture as well. We enjoyed the private beach club on Oak Island very much and spent most of our time in the ocean. We appreciated that the host provided beach chairs and beach towels. We only went to the pool once, but it was lovely and a short walk. We visited the park on the Intercoastal Waterway where we watched the boats from the gazebo and my granddaughter enjoyed playing on the slides. Beacon 315 was our favorite restaurant located at the marina -- they serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. Food was great and a short walk from the condo which was convenient. We traveled to Southport for dinner as well. The hosts, Tom and Judy, provided us with pre-arrival instructions that were very clear and much appreciated. Communication was excellent! I highly recommend this very clean and well appointed property. We will be back. Thanks again for a wonderful trip.
