Gold Oceanfront 2103

I had a terrific February in 2103. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-planned. The kitchen was well stocked, always important to me. I was a little concerned that the first-floor corner location might have foot traffic and noise, but it was situated so that none of that was a problem. Good beds, rather than afterthoughts, in the 3rd BR were much appreciated

Just one suggestion: blackout curtains would be a nice addition for folks who aren’t early risers. The morning sun goes right in the eyes in the master BR,

We stayed a month at Colony Reef in January. Our condo was comfortable and conveniently located. We especially enjoyed the boardwalk to the beach. Walking on the boardwalk across the dunes we enjoyed looking at the various types of vegetation and watching the gopher tortoises and the birds. We enjoyed sitting on the bench located on the boardwalk and watching the ocean and visiting with the other Colony Reef residents. Colony Reef’s design is unique because with the three buildings being in a U shape, it allow every condo a view of the ocean and provides ample green space on the ocean side. We especially like that design. This was our second year staying at Colony Reef and we hop to return next year, as well.

Checking in was super convenient. Staff in the main office were very friendly. When walking in to the room it smelled clean and was noticeably tidy, well equipped, and bright! The location of the unit is unmatched. Being able to watch the kids on the playground in the morning and evening was impeccable. The pool area is large and we never had issue finding a chair or umbrellaed table. The walkway to get over the dunes to the beach has NO stairs. This is so wonderful for our young family... since we take wagons of things to the beach for our enjoyment and the kiddos. Overall best condo I've stayed in at the beach... ever. We WILL be back. My ONLY suggestion would be to simply the remotes and TVs. There seemed to be 1-3 per TV (some with no remote batteries) so that made it a bit confusing in the beginning.

We stay at colony reef every year for a week. We always have a great time! We love all the amenities. The pool is great and steps from our door. The beach is beautiful and never too crowded. The kids love the playground. The condo itself is perfect for us. We appreciated the new living room furniture- it was super comfy. My parents had an issue with the tv in their room but maintenance brought them a new one. I will say that the bed and sheets in the second bedroom are terrible. The mattress is so uncomfortable and the sheets are super rough. But other than that every thing else was perfect. Looking forward to going again next year!

Overall the unit was very nice. We loved having the large patio and being direct oceanfront. My biggest issue (we had the same issue last year in 2107) is the tiny washer and dryer. It is better suited for a camper. Other units at Colony Reef have full size front load washers and dryers. At the very least put in a standard size washer and dryer.

We’ve stayed in this unit before and love it’s location. However, this time the bedding in the two kids rooms were soiled and not washed. My kids refused to sleep with them and ended up sleeping with no covers. It was really disappointing to spend that much and have the kids saying they couldn’t wait to go home to their clean beds.

Wonderful location. Very clean. Nicely furnished. Convenient to pool, playground and boardwalk.

Our trip was worthwhile. The indoor pool and workout and sauna were a big hit, since the weather was colder than we hoped.
The stove top needed better cleaning with special product. The master bedroom curtains did not keep out the morning sunshine. Otherwise the rooms were very satisfactory.

We rented during Thanksgiving week 2021. The location and view was very nice. The condo was also nice but a little dated inside. The kitchen items were worn out and we didn't have enough tools to prepare several meals we would have liked to cook. The furniture was somewhat worn out also and could use an upgrade.

The experience we had was making great family memories. Our family had rented several condos that weekend had a great weekend getting together on Sunday we had a wedding where my son got married on the beach the backdrop of this condo was absolutely perfect. I've been staying at Colony Reef over 30 years and have stayed in several condos. Absolutely never disappoints.

Perfect location for small kids. Playground right outside of the back patio, as well as pool and beach entrance. Kitchen was fully stocked with all equipment you would need to cook. Clean and spacious. The “crows nest” was perfect for my 3 year old to sleep in. Would definitely recommend, and will definitely come back to that unit!

Ocean front patio(shaded from 10am on), 50 ft from the playground, 75ft from the pool and the biggest patio on the grounds.

Our family has stayed at Colony Reef for many years & think it is perfect for all ages. We love the family atmosphere & all the amenities provided. The courtyard is a favorite for games for children after a day at the beach or pool. We would highly recommend Colony Reef for a vacation stay.

Corner unit allowed view of beach, dunes, and pool/large grassy area. Patio with a bit of privacy. Comfortable furniture, TV in several rooms, nice kitchen, seating for 6 in eating area. Master bath has walkIn shower. Some beach toys and chair available. Beach was clean and reasonably uncrowned in July. Due to COVID, clubhouse amenities were unavailable.

We’ve been coming to Colony Reef for many years. Our children & grandchildren look forward to this vacation all year. They love the courtyard in the late afternoon after swimming at the pool or beach. We love the family atmosphere & feel very safe with the children here.

Great

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The condo was well appointed and stocked with everything we needed. My only complaint would be that the beds were all very hard.

Perfect location

The unit was beautiful and very clean. The only issue we had was the lack of covered walkways to the parking lot. It rained a few days which made it difficult to reach/pack the car w/o getting soaked.

Good stay but a couple of issues. No mattess covers on two out of three beds we used. The oven didnt work. The property management company sent a maintenance person (or people) into our unit without prior notice to fix the oven. Our stay could have been perfect with a little better planning and communication from the property manager.

Awesome!

The condo did not have a dvd player which we wish we could have had especially when it rained. The pillows were also very old and bad. Also the lighting is not good. Its like they put 40W light bulbs in every lamp. It is a great location and a great part of the beach. The people in the office were very nice.
