We very much enjoyed our stay at Mariner Way. The accommodations were very nice and as much, if not more than expected. Views were equally impressive. Would definitely come back. ITrip was also very responsive to any issue that came up and were very professional to deal with.

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!
