Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property was perfect for 1 or 2 people. It was so clean, modern and had everything you needed. I had a front parking space the entire week, lots of parking choices. I loved the outside sun room, a TV in the bedroom as well as the living room, the pool was a short walking distance and the check-in was easy. St. James Plantation is absolutely lovely!! I had no problems at all. I will definitely be back!

This unit is neat, clean, and nicely decorated. However, it would have been nice if the pollen was cleaned from the porch as the worst of the pollen was gone. I cleaned some myself so that I could sit out there. The only hiccup was that we were given the wrong code so couldn't get into the unit for an hour.
