Silver Oceanfront 1303

This is our second year at Colony Reef and plan to return every year as long as long as our health allows. Everyone there is very friendly and a great location near our favorite restaurants and golf courses. Our unit is always clean on arrival and staff respond to any questions or concerns we have in a timely fashion. Not sure about other units but the only suggestion I would have for ours (and I meant to mention to office) is for a coffee maker with auto shut off.

great

Very happy with the improvements in bathrooms, excellent walk in shower in master bath. Only gave 3 stars on cleanliness b/c room needed more attention I took it upon myself to do it. The property is 5 stars.

We had a fun time. There were a few pluming issues. The water was very slow and at times had no pressure. And the kitchen sink wouldn't stop leaking. But other than that we had a great time.

We have been going to St. Augustine for the past 3 years and have finally found our home away from home for a couple months out of the cold winter weather in northern NY. The location of Colony Reef Club is great. Within walking distance of a few good restaurants. Grocery stores close by. There are also some nice golf courses in the area to choose from. The staff at Colony Reef are very friendly and helpful. The grounds and the complex are clean. The view from our condo was amazing. Never gets old looking out at the ocean every day. Almost daily beach walks were very nice and relaxing. Again we are so excited to have found our winter getaway for the next several years God willing.

We had a great time! The sunrises were exceptional! Our kids and Grandkids enjoyed the the beach, pool and playground. We're planning on returning again next year.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. As in previous reviews the unit is dated. The furniture is worn but very comfortable. Construction on the boardwalk started a bit earlier than we expected and was quite loud the first couple of days. We did have a 3 day Nor'easter come through and there were some pretty bad leaks. Maintenance was very quick to get us buckets and towels to catch the leaks.

Enjoyed it much as usual. No complaints.

The views trump the condo. We loved being ocean front. The unit is fine and comfortable. The master bed was very comfy. The dryer needs replacing or serviced as it does not dry the clothes well. We definitely would stay again

We have stayed at this condo building previously. We enjoy the property and location. We have even stayed in this same condo previously, and knew that it was a Bronze unit that is not upgraded. We were disappointed to find many of the dishes in the cabinets dirty with food residue, the ceiling fans are unbalanced and some unable to be adjusted. This trip we also had issues with some of the appliances. Thankfully the management was able to get a repair company out to get the refrigerator working better during our stay.
I would recommend some maintenance to this unit to make it more comfortable for future guests. Otherwise, it met our expectations.

1303 was a homey unit with a feeling of family which boasts the most wonderfully open view of the ocean!! The furniture and bed are very comfortable. Even though not updated, the kitchen is well stocked for cooking in! We enjoyed a family reunion for a week of sharing and sightseeing! Coming to beaches frequently, though most accommodations at St. Augustine are older, we enjoy the beach! Also, the grounds are well maintained. Colony Reef is definitely due for updating exteriorly..concrete and elevator needs! This unit was clean but the bedroom carpet is so worn it seems to be filthy! Hating to make any negative remark, I definitely would change out that carpet! It was a wonderful, relaxing stay.

This was my wife's and my third year of staying at Colony Reef during the winter months. This is a well-maintained and professionally managed condo association near to downtown. The administrative staff is responsive and friendly. St. Augustine is a charming city with an unmatched (U.S.) history, excellent restaurants and music scene. It's local colleges and the county library system round out the experience.

Very clean and comfortable. Corner unit gave us more room.

We’ve stayed at Colony Reef many times and are never disappointed !

Our family of 4 had a wonderful Easter vacation in Condo 1303. You just can't beat the view!!! Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the ocean was rejuvenating. We knew going in that the kitchen was a little outdated, but that was not a problem and was fully stocked with everything we needed when we cooked in. 3 bedrooms/2 baths was just enough room for us to spread out, but enjoy family time together and play games. Wish we didn't have to leave.

Gorgeous view!!!! Restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance!!!! I

Our family has been renting here for well over a decade, BUT, I guess we wont be back ! The condo was rented out from under us before we could make our reservation for next year. The security people were much better this year, and the property looked great as always. I did hate to see the 2 dogs that were swimming in the pool and hanging out at the pool deck on Tuesday night. The boards on the deck to the beach, many need to be replaced.
