Quiet Beach Trip

Mid October was a great time to stay at this lovely condo. The complex is on the beach, so it is a quick walk to reach the beach. The condo is very spacious. One note of preparation, bring everything to stock your space, as this operates more like a weekly beach house rental. We had to make a stop out for extra supplies, like toilet paper and dish soap.

We were so excited when we opened the door! The condo was awesome! So clean, comfortable and easy to get to! It had everything you needed. The beach, that was just steps away, was private to the area residents. So relaxing and restful. Would definitely recommend!!

Return to Colony by the Sea 2024

Our family has rented units here for many years. The last time was probably more than 20 years ago. We have always enjoyed the location and friendliness of the property managers. My family is large so we rented 5 different units. My unit was one of the best. I will definitely stay here again. Hope to return next year!

Lovely condo

Nice, quiet spot on beautiful Emerald Isle. The condo is spacious and from the deck you can see and hear the ocean. There is also a large deck for condo users right on the beach which we enjoyed.

clean condo

We really enjoyed the condo. There was a large dining, living room, kitchen area. Looked like it must have been painted recently as everything looked crisp. The master suite and other bathroom were ample size, too. We would stay here again.

Great location close to the beach. It was perfect for our family of four. The AC seemed to stuggle to keep the place cool, especially the bunk room. Other than that it was perfect!

Relaxing, spacious condo perfect for families

We had one of our best family vacations here. It was the cleanest condo I’ve ever stayed in. The owners have thought of everything you need for a great stay - plenty of things you don’t think of until you don’t have it in other places, like lots of hooks for towels, plenty of kitchen tools down to chip clips and leftover containers. The living area was so spacious. The showers were clean. The carpet was soft. The beds were comfortable. The views of the ocean were beautiful. The resort itself was so relaxing - perfect sized pool plus hot tub. I appreciated the no smoking/vaping policy throughout the entire place. Very very kid friendly. Close to everything we like to do in Emerald. We will be back!

Annual Summer Kickoff Family Beach Trip

The stay was above our expectations. The condo was great, a huge living area. Loved the porch for eating our meals. The location was very nice. Not far from Atlantic or Emerald Isle but Indian Beach is our favorite area. Nice and quiet and the beach was not crowded. The beach was steps away. We could not have asked for a better place, we will definitely be returning! This was by far one of our favorite VRBO beach rentals to date!

New favorite beach vacation

Clean and well maintained place to stay. Time to replace the vertical blinds in the living room. We loved the location and ease of access to the beach and surrounding area. Very laid back and enjoyable. Everything was exactly as described. We would like to return in the future. Well done.

Nice and quiet

We had a lovely stay at Indian Beach. The property was very quiet and plenty of room for the family. The place is a little out dated but still nice. The main things missing were a hair dryer and some sort of cleaning sponges for doing dishes. The beds were comfortable and it was right near the beach which was nice. The oven could use an upgrade and the tiles in the main bathroom need to be regrouted. I would stay here again though.

Don't Overthink This

tl;dr: Great spot to spend a vacation. I get it, you have to read review after review before you feel comfortable hitting "submit". I did the same. The pictures of the updated bathrooms compared to other rentals in the price range is what sold me. The pictures, and other reviews, proved to be accurate. My OCD wife was pleased with the unit's cleanliness. The host was excellent and responsive. Ben, the property manager, exemplified southern hospitality. The location was beach front property, putting you out the front door and feet in the sand within 2 minutes. (Why are you still reading, go ahead and rent!) There are luggage racks to help with your arrival/departure and shopping carts to assist if you go grocery shopping. A useful elevator helps with the "commute" from the parking spot to the residence. (Really? Still not convinced?) Are you the type that needs a "con"? It rained one of the days we were there. Why couldn't the owner control the weather? Again, I understand your need to dissect every single review. I could nitpick if you need some true cons, but it's a rental property, not a forever home. I'm not expecting granite in the kitchen. The bathrooms are updated. If you don't trust my review, please read the other reviews. I think you'll discover this is a great place to spend a relaxing vacation on the Crystal Coast.
