View of the fabulous beach from Echo, the in house restaurant
Because I have been so busy like everyone else, I have been really lazy about writing some articles about our last few trips. With the pandemic sweeping over the entire world, that has taken over so many of our lives, my husband Tom and I have stayed hunkered down in our house reading and catching up on television shows. But like all the many travelers everywhere, we are dying to go on a trip.
So I began planning our next trip keeping in mind all the precautions we would have to take. I decided I wanted to share the wonderful King and Prince Resort on St. Simons Island with my husband who had never been there and would take some wonderful photos for me, I contacted them and they were quite wonderful about working together. But they wondered if I had written about the last trip I took there with my lovely sister in law in January. Had I written about that?
Uh.
No.
No, I hadn’t as I hadn’t done much writing at all. What a shame I had let those memories slip away and all I had was the wonderful memories of the few days we spent there and a few pictures.
I looked over the information I had from the trip and sighed at the beauty of where we had stayed. We had planned a girlfriends getaway and every place we stayed was even better than the last. And then we arrived at the quite lovely King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort. My sister in law and I had stayed here a few years ago but I had truly forgotten how wonderful it was. I expected them to put us in one of their nice hotel rooms but we were astonished and delighted to be given a wonderful beach villa with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a big, comfortable living room with an attached veranda. With great, comfy chairs and a view of the beautiful beach!
We tried to be cool and grown up when we arrived at our villa, opened the door and walked in. Then we squealed like a pair of Barbie dolls and ran out on the veranda to drink in our lovely view. It was stupendous!
Friends feet on the beach!
Of course, you can’t go wrong staying at the marvelous resort. Every type of room is wonderful and has great views of the area. It was a little too cool to swim off the beach but we enjoyed just hanging out and taking nice long walks on the beach several times a day. So beautiful! We spent some time just sitting down by the beach and enjoying the warm weather and salty breezes off the water. We loved hanging out in our beautiful villa and spent time prowling around the island and checking out the shops at the pier.
Great shopping at the pier!
One day, I contacted Bud St. Pierre who is one of the head people at the resort and we had perfectly wonderful, long lunch one day. I wasn’t sure we would have enough to talk about but he was so friendly and so interesting, we had to tear ourselves away when lunch was over and he had things to do. We loved every single meal we had in the restaurant as each was better than the last.
We didn’t really do much on the island except drive around, shop, check out the local restaurants, and admire the views at every turn of the read.
Such a nice stay! I can’t imagine staying anywhere nicer when you are in the area. Everything was just perfect. I can’t wait to share it with my husband soon.
