This was our first time staying in their condos. We have stayed in their villas and they were clean and we had no problem but this condo was a different story! Let’s start with the horrible rotten smell walking to the elevator. Got to the room and the condo was lacking cleanliness to say the least. No dish soap in kitchen. No trash bags. Garbage can was running over and no bag to replace it with. Only one extra roll of toilet for 3 bathrooms. The body wash and conditioner in the shower dispensers in the master bathroom were empty. The floors were filthy and very grimy. Our feet were black 15 mins after our shower. Their pans were warped or completely brown from baked on grease. Wasn’t really stocked very well at all for cooking there. The refrigerator had stains all down the front of it and looked gross. The floors had black dirt spots on them everywhere. The threshold of the front door and rug was ABSOLUTELY disgusting. The stairs, hallways, and corridors were so filthy and everything needed a good pressure washing. Back porch was nasty and needed it too. Master shower had mold in it. It was just nasty and we did not feel very clean staying there. $1300.00 for 3 night and that was our accommodations. Not worth one penny of that. Needless to say we will not be staying in the condos again. Including pictures for verification.

The unit was nice and spacious, however, it is in need of maintenance. A few items we encountered included, non-working internet, cracked windows, missing hardware in doors, the coffee carafe didn’t fit with the machine, therefore we had to rig it to properly brew, the turntable in the microwave did not work, therefore, food items would burn. Furniture was worn out and the kitchen items (pots and pans) were as well. It was disappointing that there were not enough items provided for the length of stay including coffee, shampoo and conditioner, garbage bags, paper towels and only one towel per person for a 4-day stay. Also, the unit was not very clean outside and the floors were very dirt, however, we could not clean them ourselves, as there were not enough towels or paper products.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at St. James Bay. The property itself was very clean, and my husband and son really enjoyed the golf course. The pool was also a great amenity.

Unfortunately, we did have some housekeeping issues. We arrived around midnight, and the flat sheet on the bed had a very unpleasant odor. The next morning, I also found dirty footprints and hair in the shower. I contacted the pro shop, and they said someone would come by to clean the bathroom and replace the sheet, but no one ever came.

The property has a lot to offer, but the cleanliness of our unit and the lack of follow-up after reporting the issue were disappointing.

I did speak to Sabrina yesterday morning and told her my experience and at that point wanted to send housekeeping and it was pointless after my husband cleaned and we were checking out early this morning.

This property has potential. I do not consider this property to be resort quality. The pool area had food scraps on the tables and on the deck, the QR code for ordering drinks and food did not work. In a resort setting, the drinks are brought out to you. We had to go inside and pick up our order. The unit we stayed in had ants and other bugs all over the floor in the bathtub and even in the bed. Separate towels to use for the pool were not included. We were instructed to wash, dry, and put away any dishes we used. There was only one trash can in the entire unit and it was a small one in the bathroom. We were also instructed to take our trash out when checking out but we saw no outside trash cans or dumpsters. Our unit did not have a \"clean\" feel to it. We ate at the grill our first night. My fiancé ordered a steak that was warm in some parts and cold in others. It's as if it was previously cooked and then warmed up. I do think this property has potential to become a true resort; it just needs a major overhaul. I doubt we will ever stay here again.

The resort was great, the room was very neat and clean. The oniy thing we didnt live was when we asked for more towels we we told no that we could do laundry (which is true), and we had to clean any dishes and take our garbage out before leaving at a very specific checkout time. Overall the property and room was great and I would stay again!

Gorgeous and spacious! Love the pickleball courts and the room with the view of the water. For some reason they don't give out the code for the entry gate when they email the unit door code, which is annoying. Regular coffee pot, nothing fancy. Enjoyed the stay, this was our 2nd time.

Lovely accommodations however, they changed our key code after the first nights stay and then it wouldn’t work. We came in late and couldn’t get into our room. No one would answer the 1-800 number. If the restaurant staff had not still been cleaning the restaurant after 10:00pm I don’t know what we would have done. There is no one there to help you if there is a problem or if you need a master key! And their number proved to be useless. Was thankful for the restaurant staff for all of their help in trying to get someone to help us get in. The restaurant is also very expensive to eat at. My husband and I shared a pasta and we both drank water. So three entrees, a kids meal and appetizer was a$170.00 after tip. Can’t afford to eat there but there isn’t much else around. Pool was great and property is always clean and well maintained. Staff is very friendly. Nice place for the money.

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.

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.

La propiedad es muy linda y tranquila pero las habitaciones están descuidadas, tuve que lavar mis sabanas antes de domingo porque visiblemente se veía que no fueron cambiadas, cuadros y alfombras metidas en los closet, gabinetes con bisagras safados, es una lástima que no tenga buena limpieza y organización porque son habitaciones muy amplias y cómodas y el precio super.

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.

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.

Great stay not so great gold

The stay was great, we stayed in one of the condos and not many complaints there. There were a few small things if you wanted to nit pick but I don’t expect perfection. Only real complaint would be of the golfing experience. For $100 per person I would have expected a little better. Greens were great but tee boxes and most of the fairway was little more than dirt. We were also one of the few people on the course but still found ourselves being held up by workers who seemed to not care that they were holding us up with no one behind us.

This place has great potential, it's a shame it's going to waste.

The Good:
The pool and golf course. Room was Ccean and very spacious, with mini fridge and microwave.walk in closet in the bathroom and a large shower were much appreciated. The course was decent although some of the holes are quite short. It's good enough to play a round.

The Bad:
The service is absolutely terrible. When we didn't receive the email the resort referenced so I called at 1:30 and was told they're sent at 3. (Yes, this is important to have as there are detailed instructions. More to come on that) We arrived at 4, check in time, and had to go to the golf shop to complete. The woman who \"helped\" us clearly was being bothered by our arrival despite the fact the place was dead. She only directed us to our cabin.

We received the email at 11:30 pm, more than 7 hours after we checked in. It is important as it provided hours, contact info for the restaurant, maintenance, maps, other amenities and the card code it access them, etc.

Long story a bit shorter - the food is terrible but due to the remote location you have very limited options. The wait staff is slower than molasses, everyone seems to have a \"what do you want?' attitude

If you're planning a trip here I would recommend purchasing all of your groceries and other necessities and bringing them with you.

I cannot stress enough how absolutely awful the service and food is here. Calling this a golf resort is major stretch.

This is an extremely nice property. The food at Crooked River Grill is absolutely delicious with no skimping on quality ingredients. We didn’t play golf but the course looks very nice. There are some renovations being done to the main pool bathrooms, The fitness facility is a separate cottage and is well appointed. Our condo was spacious and had great views of the pond and golf course. Beds were comfortable and we loved the space. It was certainly functional but there is only minimal interior design. A lot more thought should be given to that and that would take this property to a whole new level. It is extremely nice and functional as is, but some minor details are overlooked that should not be. I highly recommend renting this property!

The resort was very pretty. Grounds are well kept. Facilities are in nice condition. Pretty cool that you have your own washer/dryer in the villas. If you want a beach, there isn't too much close by. Carrabelle beach is about 20 minutes away, nice, but small, and no shops or restaurants near.
St. George Island is about 30 minutes. Worth the drive. Good beach, lots of shops, lighthouse & museum, etc.

Toaster was broke did not know till I used it living room fan switch worked but the switch for the light was broke and the light stayed on the whole time. The other unit had bugs and the patio lanterns were not installed and the wiring not capped off and touched and sparked.

I’m thankful that they offer pet friendly accommodations in the villas. We found the villas to be clean and comfortable.
I would suggest the resort manager that they be more specific in listing which villas have stove which ones have just a microwave. As well as what kind of coffee maker the villas have. This info would be beneficial to extended stay guests. Since there’s no grocery stores nearby, we brought a pizza and Keurig K-cups. We couldn’t use either as our unit did not have a stove or Keurig machine. A toaster in the unit would have been nice so we could toast bagels.
Bottom line, we would stay there again as it’s a nice area.

We enjoyed the restaurant. But the day we were there for lunch. The service was very slow. The woman that was waitressing seemed to be frazzled after a few more people showed up. Then suddenly she yelled have a great day andwalked out . We had received our food but were the only ones who had ordered and received our food. Everyone else had no food or hadnt ordered . I just felt bad for everyone. A guy came in from Tallahassee and finished up with us and took everyone else's order. It was the only problem we had .The rest of the time we enjoyed our stay

Felt Brand New!

The cottage was lovely and bright and felt brand new. A few things were missing. There was no luggage stand for our suitcase, there was no hook in the bathroom for a robe or toiletry bag. Also, they require the guest to wash their own dishes before check out. I certainly didn't like the looks of the glasses that the previous guest \"washed\".

We had a wonderful time. The staff was attentive and nice. Check in/out is performed in the pro shop and the staff are multi tasking which requires you to wait and a little inconvenient on our part and theirs. The Villa we stayed in was recently ungraded/remodeled. It was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. Very pleased with the villa. The golf course is challenging but fun. Love the nature and peacefulness and serenity of the course.
My husband did find it distasteful and unnecessary to take the trash out behind the restaurant to the dumpster. I could maybe understand gathering the trash and placing it at the door but having to go to the dumpster is a little bit much. My husband wasn’t pleased!!!

To begin with, the entire area from I'd say Perry to Apalachicola is terribly depressed, impoverished and populated with a lot of unfriendly and unhappy people. On this property, the one fellow who they call Coach appears to do every job that is administrative in nature. You see, since you check into your Villa at the pro shop, and you make your reservations there for both The villas and tee times, Coach has his hands full. Of course he also has to tend to the needs of the pro shop, checking in golfers and selling apparel and merchandise etc. I'm not sure where everybody else was.

The property is in the state of construction/renovation such that it's very difficult to navigate on foot, which is the only way since they have no porters or luggage carousels or any of that nature to help you get your belongings from your vehicle in the parking lot to the villa. They did have two parking places that were closer to my villa, but they had cones in front of them for no parking during my stay, only to be removed as I was literally leaving the parking lot for the last time.

The villas are very nice, they are essentially tiny homes and I think they are very nice and appointed well. However there is so much ambient light outside that you need to bring something to cover your eyes when you sleep. But they were very comfortable.

The resort offered me an additional night at half price and then reneged on it. The golf was lovely.

Great property-like new! Private villa with all the comforts of home. Lamps with USB ports. Ceiling fans and adjustable AC. Small kitchen, fridge, microwave and even a W/D. Plenty of towels for our stay and even extra pillows and blankets. Our bed was not the most comfortable but is to be expected in short term rentals. Convenient restaurant located on property which is good because there's not much else around the area. We were attending FSU Family weekend so the pricing here was 1/4 of what hotels in the Tally area were charging so it was a no brainer. An easy 45 min ride to the city.
