Great Place to Live and Wonderful People

John L. - Verified Resident (Since 2008)

We relocated from the northeast after a thorough search about 5 years ago. There are an almost an unlimited number of activities and clubs to keep you occupied. I personally golf, cycle and volunteer at Southport Elementary. My favorite convincer is "why wouldn't you want to live where people pay to vacation?".

Our dreams came true at St. James!

Great community

Marc M - Verified Resident (Since 2012)

Purchased property a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Great amenities, quiet community, wonderful people, beautiful beach-front cabana, many activities so you can be as busy or as relaxed as you like. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
