Atlanta, Georgia A Development of Executive Equities, Inc. ons Island A Priceless Work of Art St. Simons Island, nestled on the coast of Georgia, is a cultural environment of amazing natural beauty. Like all creations of worth, man must delicately and tastefully exhibit art treasures for the enjoyment of those lucky enough to appreciate their aesthetic value. And on this island abundant in American history, natural wildlife, and inherent charm, there are two distinctive and elegant year-round resorts, both tastefully enriching the artistic habitat of the island. There's the majestic King and Prince Beach Hotel dating back to the 30's and now elegantly refurbished with antiques, stained glass windows, and bright colors. Add to that superb dining, gracious service, easy entertaining, and one of the most gentle stretches of beach in Georgia and you'll find your special retreat at the King and Prince. For golf and tennis enthusiasts, the Sea Palms Resort is a masterpiece of sporting artistry. A sculptured championship golf course sheltered by liveoaks and bordered by winding waterways and tennis courts nestled among a hedge of island greenery add to the scenic enjoyment of both games. The Sea Palms accommodations range from a room at the Inn, to appealing villas, to elegantly appointed homes. And it's all perfect for families and conventioneers alike. Also, for those who wish to invest in this Georgia island, there are villas, homes, homesites, and other property available for development. And, ready to open in late Fall is The Island Club, an exciting Country Club development of refined residences. So, come to St. Simons Island for a weekend, a week, or a lifetime; and enjoy one of Georgia's most majestic year-round works of art.
