STAY IN OUR SPACIOUS AND TASTEFULLY DECORATED VILLA, LOCATED ON THE INTRA-COASTAL WATERWAY, AND ONLY MINUTES FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN!

Centrally located in the gated golf course community of St. James Plantation, our ground-floor villa features wi-fi throughout. The full-size kitchen has been updated with dark wood cabinets, granite countertops, and black and stainless-steel appliances. The living room features a sofa, loveseat, and 50" TV. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, chest, dresser, TV, night-stands, and a large walk-thru closet, that leads to the full-size master bathroom, also with dark wood cabinets and granite countertop. The laundry room is fully equipped with washer and dryer. The guest suite includes 2 full-size beds, kitchenette with dark wood cabinets and granite countertops, mini-fridge, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, TV, and a full-size bathroom. The screened-in patio features a wicker table and chairs.

Situated directly across the parking lot from the Hale Erwin Signature course, on the nature preserve side, the villa offers relaxing views from nearly every room, as well as the patio. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while looking out over the serene back yard area, edged with large shade trees, and visited often by neighboring wildlife. Nestled among it's lush surroundings, St. James Plantation is also the home of four Championship courses, designed by legends Nicklaus Design, P.B. Dye, Hale Erwin, and Tim Cate, featuring 81-holes of golfing perfection. (Personal membership required)

Later in the afternoon, you might enjoy an outing at one of the plantation's large scenic parks, or take advantage of the miles of lush walking and biking trails. Go for a swim at the club pool within walking distance from our villa, or take a short drive down to the Beach Club, "St. James By the Sea" located at nearby Oak Island. Pack a picnic and dine as you watch the sun set over the ocean. (Please note: The gated parking lots there are private and require a mounted RFID tag to open, however there are public beach access locations nearby. OKI parking fees may apply depending on season and time of day.)

If adventure is more your thing, why not head over to Oak Island and tour the lighthouse there, or take a magnificent ferry ride from Deep Point Marina over to Bald Head Island and climb the "Old Baldy" lighthouse for yourself. Enjoy breath-taking views of the entire island from the top! Or you can explore the island by foot, bicycle, or by golf cart, the uniquely standard methods of travel on the island.

If you prefer a more tranquil evening, take a stroll along the quaint shops of Historic Southport. Visit the Christmas House. Dine at the famous Provision Company or Fishy Fishy Café, which was featured in the Nicholas Sparks movie, "Safe Haven". Then grab an ice cream cone and relax on a swing along the shoreline of Southport Pier and Riverwalk, as you watch the ships go by.

With so many enjoyable things to see and do, we are confident that the memories you make during your stay here, will be ones that you will treasure forever.

So why not come and see for yourself what makes it so special!

Enjoy,

KIMBERLY, ELLIS AND TRISTIN

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2022
Hi Linda, thank you for being my guest! I am happy that you enjoyed your visit, and hope that you will choose to return again in the future. :-) I do want to mention that we actually perform routine deep cleanings several times each season (which I personally oversee myself)... and extra ones as needed. The last deep cleaning (Wall/baseboard/furniture/floor deep scrub and steam) was during the week following the 4th of July, one month before your stay. There will be another one following Labor day, which is right around the corner. We have to schedule them when it's convenient for our guests, as we must keep each villa empty for a couple of days to allow extra time for the steaming and drying. There is just no way for it to be done in the 4-hour window (less if we have early check-in/late check-out requests), for our housekeeper to do it between guests. Again, thank you for being my guest and I hope that you have a safe and enjoyable rest of your summer!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Lee-Costin

Host profile image
My name is Kimberly and I am a REALTOR from Clinton, NC. I am married to the love of my life, Ellis Ray, and we have one son, Tristin. My family and I spent two of our summer vacations at St. James Plantation, and simply fell in love with the area! I decided to purchase my first villa in the summer of 2017, and then spent much of the fall, putting my heart (along with a lot of hard work) into it, to make it a place that we would feel truly at home. I found such pleasure in the endeavor, that I decided to purchase another in the Summer of 2018, and have tried very hard to make it as comfortable and enjoyable as the first. I hope that you have that same feeling when you choose to stay here as well....
Kimberly Lee-Costin purchased this Condo in 2018

Why they chose this property

The first thing that we noticed about St. James Plantation was the beauty! It is so cleverly designed, and seems to just blend in with the natural surroundings.
The second thing we discovered is how very much the area has to offer, yet it is spread out in such a way that just feels "relaxed". Much like the demeanor of the residents here. Everyone we've met has been so helpful, friendly, and... 'unrushed'. It makes it harder to leave each time that we're here!

What makes this property unique

Peaceful and natural surroundings, along with ground-floor access, and all the comforts of home are what make this condo truly unique.
