First time at The St. James Bay Resort
We chose this location as a base to explore the beautiful Forgotten Coast of Florida. Unfortunately, the owner did not disclose that the exterior of the entire building was under major construction. We would have opted out if we had been informed of this. Our 1 month stay involved construction noise , Sky cap equipment with workers outside the windows , construction workers climbing over the railings onto the balcony at various times throughout the day, & the dirt & debris that accompanies major renovations. We were unable to use the balcony for 16 days due to the floor being primed & painted. The outdoor furniture was brought into the condo's main living area stacked up in various places for 16 days. We were out when this took place & were never informed that someone would have access to get inside the condo. We still don't know who did this & how they got in. Upon departure ,the front halls & stairways were being primed . It was not possible to use a luggage cart in the area that was cordoned off , so all the luggage had to be carried to the elevator individually. It was a nightmare. On the surface , the condo appeared clean, but when drawers in the kitchen & bathrooms were opened ,they were stained & dirty. Glassware was broken , outdated food in the cupboards, mold behind the kitchen faucets, & dirty dishes & cookware were present. This place needs a total overhaul. We have dated photos & videos of everything that was mentioned in this review. We did contact the owner.

Lovely Condo
My family and I stayed in this condo for a few nights so that we could take our boat out. The condo was very nice, and the owners were great with communication. Hopefully we can stay again in the future!

Good stay
We had an enjoyable stay. The condo was as described in VRBO. The owners were great at communicating with us. There was some minor maintenance items but were easy to resolve. The cleaning could have been more thorough. The golf course is challenging for a good golfer but could be difficult for beginners. The course staff were great. The community is a bit far away from most restaurants and shopping areas. Overall a great stay for those with a focus on golf or fishing.

This condo is a great place to stay when visiting "Florida's Forgotten Coast". Comfortable, clean, very quiet. Sits on a golf course with a great view. New beds were comfortable. All in all nice place to escape to for relaxing.
