Marina Way
Great condo, wonderful location, wonderful marina view, excellent biking, short trip to beach!
We had a wonderful time. Love the view, so relaxing. Nice long walks along the marina and adjacent neighborhoods. Maui, our dog, also gave it a 4 paws up review. Hope to be able to return sometime in the near future.
The location is perfect for a stay in St. James. It is easy to walk to Beacon 315 (a fun little marina side grill), short drive (or long walk) to Waterway Park, and easy drive to dining, shopping and the beach. The condo is beautifully decorated, with well thought out amenities, great view, and very clean.

Great week at St. James Plantation
Our family really enjoyed our week at the condo we rented at St. James Marina. The condo was clean and well appointed. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for the week. The screened porch was wonderful to enjoy the weather and water views of the marina. We really appreciated all the seating that was available on the porch. We would definitely rent this condo again!

Immaculate and roomy
This condo is VERY nice. It is clean, nicely furnished and has lots of room. More towels would be great-we got one towel per person for a 3 day stay. Otherwise it was awesome!
