Beach & Coastal Properties
King and Prince Beach
& Golf Resort
A Haven for Corporate
Gatherings
The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort, a premier oceanfront and golf resort on
St. Simons Island, Ga., is the place for successful meetings of historic proportions. The
resort offers 10,000 sq. ft. of outstanding
meeting facilities for up to 350 people—the
largest capacity of any beachfront property
on St. Simons Island.
The seaside paradise combines pleasure
and practicality in a setting heralded by
guests since opening over 60 years ago. From
small group meetings to detailed conventions,
the King and Prince offers the location, the
amenities and the staff to ensure success.
The main building, the historic core of
the resort for over 60 years, has retained
its landmark Mediterranean architecture
on the outside while all of its guest accommodations areas have undergone complete
renovation on the inside. The result is 57
gracious guestrooms, many with wonderful
ocean views, private patios or balconies. The
Cabana rooms are favored retreats with their
parlors, private patios and direct oceanfront
location.
Four guest facilities, all on the resort
grounds, add to the variety of accommodations available. The Hampton House, a
two-story cottage, is ideal for large gatherings, golf groups and reunions with five
bedrooms and four baths, and it has a living
room, kitchen and screened porch on each
floor. Oleander, a three-story retreat, offers
18 guestrooms, each with a private patio or
balcony with ocean views.
The Tabby House is a two-story facility
with a kitchen, dining room, living room and
two large bedrooms with private baths on
each level. The Wesley House includes a living area, dining room and kitchen, one bedroom, two and one-half baths and outdoor
patio.
The Resort’s two- and three-bedroom
Beach Villas are ideal for gatherings, offering full kitchens, spacious living areas and a
patio or balcony.
Resort amenities include beaches, oceanfront dining, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and exercise facility. From kayaking and
sailing to biking and wind surfing, activities
at the resort abound.
Golf at The Hampton Club is one of the
most celebrated pleasures at The King and
Prince. Situated on St. Simons’ northern tip,
it occupies some of coastal Georgia’s most
beautiful acreage and is regularly included
on golfers’ “must-play” lists.
