I hope that you remain interested in St James Plantation Real Estate. Please let me know if I can be helpful with any additional information about our community.
It is no secret that I am addicted to the fishing here offshore of St James.. I keep this nice fishing boat in a dry slip at the St James Marina and go “fishing” whenever the weather and my real estate schedule will allow. Many St James residents are caught up in the golfing or maybe tennis, but for me it is a fishing pole out there in the ocean. I can claim over 500 fishing ventures offshore and have boated over two thousand fish. This includes a majority of king mackerel plus mahi mahi, sea bass, tuna, wahoo, sea trout, cobia and even a couple of sail fish. If this is retired life in St James, then bring it on. As an added incentive, I do offer two free fishing trips to my buyers.
One of the many clubs here in St James is a fishing club. We have two hundred members and one of our goals is to include members that do not have boats on our fishing trips. So if you are a fisherman or think you might like to try it, come on down.
The Beach club is alive this summer. St James property owners with their kids, grandkids and guests are keeping the St James Beach Club very busy. The water is 80 degrees and the beach is wide and clean. So cover up with sun tan lotion and enjoy the sunny beach, or take a dip in the ocean. Or, use the pool. It is a popular feature for the owners and guests of St James.
Golf, tennis, boating, swimming, fishing or just This is a great place to enjoy life with you friends and family.
The St James Property Owners (POA) has a beach club on the ocean for the use of all St James property owners. It is a beautiful facility complete with parking, rest rooms and showers, lots of beautiful sand beach and a fresh water pool. There is a nice picnic area up top where you can bring your own food and drinks, or order pizza delivered. Sunsets are outstanding. That is me, covered with sand by two of my grand kids. St James is the only community with a beach club on all of Oak Island. Water temperature is up to 80 degrees, for those of us that like to get wet. There is a security guard on duty to assist us and to maintain property usage. So come on over to get a little suntan or a little wet and sandy.

Health and safety are very important issues for the St James community. We have EMS equipment and trained staff here, inside our gate, to insure very quick response time for any emergency. The closest hospital is only five miles away. There are also two care and rehab facilities just outside our gates. The availability of these services is taken very seriously and constantly being upgraded. Our fire department and EMS service are preparing to construct and to operate a second location, to insure they have in order to provide the fastest possible response times.
The St James Property Owners Association maintains a guarded gate situation, including video cameras, for entry into our community. Non property owners must check in at the gates to insure they have an adequate reason to be here. If you have guests coming, you need to notify the guard service of who is coming and how long they will be here. The guard service also provides roving guards to keep watch and will ticket speeders as well.
I have often stated that the two best features of St James are the security and all the nice people that live here. So come and enjoy living in a secure environment with many friends and neighbors.

St James Plantation includes a beautiful marina on the Inter Coastal Waterway. We have 155 wet slips from 30 t0 50 feet in length. For the smaller boats we have 300 inside dry slips. With just a phone call you can have your boat picked up in the dry storage and launched and ready. When you are finished, they will pick up your boat, flush the engines, pressure the outside of your boat and put it back in the boat storage building.
This marina is the most secure of all the local marinas in case of nasty weather. We have the lowest fuel prices and the best marina staff of all the local marinas, There is a very nice restaurant on site, open from 7am till 10 pm.
If you like to just cruise, Myrtle Beach is just a little south and Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington and Baldhead Island are just a little ride north. There are several places to eat with boat docks in both directions, also. If you are a fisherman, the inshore fishing for sea trout, red fish and flounder is excellent and all along the waterway and branch streams. If you prefer off shore fishing, there are exits into the ocean close by. We managed to catch one sailfish and eleven king fish just this past week.
Having your own boat very close to your home is an ideal set up. Come take a look and maybe even a scenic boat ride with me.
Tommy Thompsons is a great place to eat on the marina. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and have the greatest view. Dine inside or outside with a great choice of food and beverage. Breakfast features a wide selection of egg dishes, pancakes, french toast, omelets or A LA CARTE choices. Lunch features a beautiful soup and salad bar, lots of sandwiches, baskets and my own favorite, clam chowder. The dinner menu includes, many appetizers, soups, salads, beef and fish dishes and even sandwiches if you prefer.
On the outside deck is the TIKI Bar which is open when the weather is comfortable. During the warmer weather, they have a small combo providing music and dancing on the outside deck.
The originel Tommy Thompson was a sea captain who became famous as a “Blockade Runner” during the Civil War. As Captain, his ship made several round trips through the Union blockade carrying cotton to Nassau and bringing war materials back for the Confederate forces. He also got very rich doing that, as did the well known Rett Butler, friend of Scarlett O’Hara.
Tommy’s is a very popular place to eat and enjoy the company of your friends and neighbors.
If you prefer, takeout is available by calling ahead (910-253-0767) and then picking up your order.
Snow in St James? Not quite impossible. I have seen snow here six times in twenty-five years. Three of these times it was gone two hours later. The other three times there was a little left the next morning. I do wish you would keep your snow up north. No shovels needed here. Maybe a broom for the porch once every five years or so.
Our temperature is forecast to hit 58 degrees by Monday. Golfers, tennis players and boaters need to work out in our fitness centers for a couple days.
