Great staff! Lisa helped us with some issues the morning after check in, and the rest of our stay was pleasant. St. James Bay is always a nice place to stay!
Clean and spacious room. Only drawback was a noisy vent when heat / air was on.

The so called cabin is the worst place we have stayed in a long time. There is practically no place to sit, or store clothes. The room was infected with big red ants, and they management wanted us to basically clean the place before we left.
My wife and I stayed here while visiting family in Carrabelle, the Villa we stayed in as well the grounds in general were clean and very well kept up. The most memorable thing of the trip would be the staff, the restaurant manager and the server during the days we were there made us feel like we have known them for years.
Staying in the villas was like staying in a little cottage! The property is beautiful and the employees at the restaurant were all amazing. We will definitely visit again! 10 out of 10!

The villa we stayed in was a bit dated - the kitchen appliances were rather old and there were no outlets for phone chargers on the nightstand between the 2 beds. The shower curtain was too low and some insects were crawling around the bathroom floor. The worst part were the floors which were not clean plus the fact that you had to take your trash with you when leaving or pay an extra $100! However the beds were clean and comfortable; the AC system worked well; the water was hot; and the villa was spacious and quiet. A rating of 3.5 to 4.0 out of 5.
Staff were friendly and professional. I would suggest dark out shades or adding drapes to the bedroom area windows. The blinds alone allow to much light for sleeping.
The only down side we found several roaches in our apartment and the pool in the apartment side needs some major renovation.
The other pool by the restaurant is amazing and the staff and the restaurant it’s amazing.
Nice place with very cozy and well appointed cottages.
