Disappointing
My family has been coming to Sea Colony for over 40 years, and we've stayed in a variety of units over that time. Many of the units have seen better days, but at our price point, this is to be expected.
This is our third year staying in this unit and it just isn't worth the price. We kept reporting issues and hoping for improvements, but very little has been done. The front screen door bottom hinge is missing. The doorstop doesn't work (it slides) and the magnet behind the door was installed improperly and doesn't hold the door. Multiple panels are missing from the blinds in the living room. The vacuum couldn't even handle a few crumbs, and the wooden towel rack fell apart when we tried to hang large towels on it and had to be wedged against a wall to keep from falling over.
The dryer is missing its main control knob and the lint screen has a tendency to fall in while it's operating. The kitchen has very little cookware, dull knives, and no blender. The towels and sheets were so rough we used our own instead. The only carpet was worn down area rugs in the living room and bedroom--the latter of which covers bare plywood flooring. The mattress felt like a cardboard hammock, and both TVs were too small.
The half bath has a fan that rattles and turns on and off intermittently. The full bath (with the shower) does not have a fan and fogs up after only a few minutes. The hot water heater has barely enough for a 15 minute shower unless you only turn the shower on halfway. When running the old dryer, the humidity in the unit can easily surpass 75%.
I doubt this place would pass an electrical inspection. There are no GFCI outlets (which cut power to prevent electrical accidents) and the only way to turn on the ceiling fan in the living room is to turn on the light in the kitchen and the kitchen light dimmer and fan speed are controlled by the same switch. So if you want the fan on but not the kitchen light (or vice versa), well, too bad.
The only improvement this year is the switch to keyless entry. All the other issues have not been addressed. It is one of the cheaper units, but it isn't that cheap, and does not hold up to others at this price point. We will be staying elsewhere next year.
