St. James Plantation

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

St. James Plantation spreads across the low coastal ground at Southport, North Carolina, where the developer's own Sales and Welcome Center stands at 4006 St. James Drive. A second office, Harborside, operates from the community's Marina Village at 2571 St. James Drive, Unit 102A, putting the rental team beside the boats. St. James Properties manages single-family homes and condominiums within the community for long-term rentals. Those properties range in size and in price, so a stay can be scaled to a couple or a family. The program invites renters to choose between a harbor view and something closer to the community's award-winning golf courses. Recent listings illustrate that spread, from a three-bedroom house on Inland Cove Drive to one-bedroom units on Lakeside Commons Drive and Club Villas Drive. Arrival is straightforward: check-in begins at 3:00 pm, and guests may call ahead to see whether a room is ready sooner. Departure is at 10:00 am, with keys returned to the Sales Office or left in the marked box on its front porch. Housekeeping cleans the room before arrival and again after departure, so the changeover is handled by the community's own staff. Maintenance questions go to the reservations office at 910-253-4734 during business hours. That office keeps Monday through Friday hours of 8:30 to 5, Saturday 9 to 5, and Sunday 12 to 5, with an after-hours emergency line at 910-253-7177. The company's own pages organize the rest of life here under The Clubs, The Community, and a community map, which is how renters orient themselves once the car is parked.
