About this home
Welcome to Golden Palms Resort, an updated eight-unit waterfront retreat in the heart of St. James City! Set on an oversized double lot with approximately 161 feet of direct, no-bridge Gulf-access canal frontage, this rare income-producing property delivers the laid-back Pine Island lifestyle guests seek.

A full-length waterfront dock provides exceptional boating access and room to enjoy the canal front setting, while the expansive deck is made for sunsets, entertaining, fishing stories, and dolphin watching.
