Georgia’s Gorgeous Getaways
An intimate look at the Peach State’s Golden Isles
by CATHY H. BURROUGHS
Cathy Burroughs shares her passion for
travel in month’s eCREATIVE with
spotlights on two of Georgia’s secluded
coastal barrier islands and haunts: St.
Simon's and Jekyll Island - when you
can find luxury from another era at
the King and the Prince and the Jekyll
Island Club.
ST. SIMON’S ISLAND
St. Simon's Island’s King + Prince Golf
Resort (kingandprince.com), once a
dance pavilion and center of the Island’s
night life, this - the island’s only ocean
front luxury hotel with both beach and
extensive pool gardens and private pools
and hot tubs throughout - is more like a
castle really with its recent 7.7 million
dollar renovation that took the already
posh and lovely hotel to an entirely new
level. With its many room choices
including a turreted room with hardwood
floors - once the Honeymoon Suite to
richly appointed and tapestried cabana
rooms (our favorite!) and the wonderfully
private villas with balconies, and their
own private pools, hot tubs – even
their own stacking washer and dryer all with oceanfront views. Enjoy the
custom pizzas delivered to your room
or the newly renovated lobby fire place
seating area, outdoor ocean front
dining or the newly recreated pool
area.
The King and Prince, St.
Simon’s Island only luxury
hotel, is more like a castle
with its recent 7.7 million
dollar renovation.
Discover the hotel’s completely
revamped outdoor pools and gardens
as well as its completely redone and
reinvented menu with full breakfast,
lunch and dinner, both indoors and out
and the hotel’s many gardens, twists,
