Gold Oceanfront 1203

We needed a last minute rental and had never stayed at Colony Reef. Boy am I happy we did! The pool was amazing, the views of the ocean were fantastic. Each porch was huge. We were very happy and will be back again!

#1203 has a great view of ocean and overlooks the pool from the patio. Unit was very clean and stocked with nice extras like beach towels, beach chairs, and the little items that make a stay easier - dishwasher pods/hand soap/paper towels. Kitchen was well stocked. We loved the large pool which is 3x the size of most condo association pools in the area. There is a nice big green space between the buildings that provides elbow room without feeling crowded and the kids play pickup ball games. Grounds and pool are well maintained. Family friendly atmosphere, and the quiet time at dusk is enforced. It is not a party place which is what we prefer. A great place for the kids. Front office staff is very responsive. We've already booked Colony Reef for our next vacation.

We stayed at Colony Reef 1203 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have three children (9, 6, and 3) and the bedrooms were absolutely perfect. From the decor and generous upgrades to the extra care given to the littlest of details (like having dishwasher and laundry pods available upon arrival and beach towels as well as regular towels) it was a true vacation away from home. I feel like if we forgot anything then it was already there waiting for us. We went on this trip with friends who also stayed in Colony Reef who didn’t have the same luxuries that we did, which can only be a testament to the owner and the team behind 1203. Highly, highly, highly recommend this place for its cleanliness, upgrades, and attentive to detail.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was clean, comfortable, organized and felt like a home away from home. The complex had tons of amenities and we loved the heated indoor pool, sauna and hot tub on the chilly days! The location was close to restaurants and grocery stores and the walk to the beach was easy with a stroller and beach wagon!

Excellent property that had just been upgraded. Highly recommend this property provided you are able to appreciate it and respect and care for it. So many other properties we have visited were not properly cared for by the renters.
Excellent view and easy access to the beach.
Kitchen outfitting is the best we have ever had.
Thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay.

Easy check in but directions to condo should have been more precise.
Great location with easy access to pool and beach. Great views and large balcony with comfortable seating.
My complaint is the sheets on the bed did not fit. This may sound trivial, but it was a huge nuisance with the sheets constantly up and bunched while trying to sleep.
Also the kitchen supplies were less than helpful. One dish towel and 2 dish washer "pods". We arrived by plane so having less than minimal kitchen supplies was disappointing as buying laundry and dishwashing detergent for a week was not a good option. I feel these basic supplies should be provided to cover the length of the renter's stay.

The porch was so therapeutic to start the day, amazing views of the dunes and ocean

We had an awesome time despite the cold weather.

Excellent unit with everything very updated! The only problem was there was only two remotes for three tv's!

Excellent view, beautiful condo with great furnishings. The entire condo was perfectly clean and comfortable. The grounds well kept and the staff was terrific. Could not have asked for a better place to spend two wonderful weeks! Perfect!!

We had a great time. Very clean and perfect location

Family and Kid friendly. Just steps from the beach with an amazing view from the balcony. Easy access to drive on the beach. The bed was hard as a rock that was our only complaint. Pool is huge and the kids loved it. Had a movie on the lawn for the kids one night. Security is out and walking around. Huge yard to play and run around. Hope to go back next summer.

Lovely location. Great beach and dunes. Responsive and professional staff. Deferred maintenance is a problem for some units. Unusually ample balconies. St. Augustine is one of Florida's most charming cities. Great character and a windfall of fine restaurants.

We have been staying at Colony Reef for the past 8 years. The past 3 years we have stayed in Unit 1203. It isn't the fanciest unit at Colony Reef but the location is wonderful The unit has a large balcony which has an incredible view--ocean in front and pool area on the side. We look forward to our time at Colony Reef all winter and look forward to spending time there again.

The property staff was wonderful in every way, accommodating us beyond expectations. We have rented 3 condos at Colony Reef for the past 7 years. We enjoy the family friendly atmosphere, the beautiful ground, the ocean view - everything about the property.
We have stayed in various rooms and have never been disappointed. We look forward to going back next year as it has become a family tradition.
The only negative on this unit would be the condition of the master bathroom shower, which needs renovation. However, it was not a game changer.
