Great location

We loved staying at this location. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and taking many trips to the ocean and pool. It was perfect for our family to enjoy and close to the things we wanted to do. I Would recommend staying here and hope to return.

Beautiful views, perfect location

Just a fantastic experience from beginning to end. The place was spotless, the views from the patio even better than pictured. Beds are so comfortable. The location is 15 minutes from St. Augustine and that is the farthest you will have to drive to get to literally anything - meals, shopping, parks, etc. You won’t have to do anything to access the beach - it’s literally right there. Parking is a breeze, and the door is literally steps from the elevator. There are carts for hauling in luggage and groceries. It’s just a great place. If I have one piece of constructive criticism it’s that they need more and better beach chairs. Two weren’t usable, and the other two remaining weren’t great. We bought one from Walmart and left it behind (you’re welcome, next guest). But that’s a minor comment. We had a great week!

Condo on beautiful beach

We had nice stay, view of the beach, sunrise and property is great. The place was clean. Excellent communication with management. Everything in the condo worked nicly. I like to make a few suggestions: more comfy pillows would be nice, newer and softer sheets, as well and maybe professional cleaning of master bathroom shower floor. I would stay again here if I visit St. Augustine - loved the place.

Good Bang for Buck

Nice peaceful ocean view, comfortable balcony furniture. Top floor location, so you never hear upstairs neighbors walking over you. Outdoor pool and hot tub were nice. (First day the hot tub water was tepid, but after that it was nice and muscle-soothing hot.) We used the indoor pool sauna and racquetball court. All were in good shape. Racquets were in condo closet and the complex office loaned us a ball. On the balcony, there was a wagon loaded with beach chairs that we used when walking to the beach. It was nice that there are quiet-time rules in place for the complex. There was only one noise violator, but property security came and stopped it quickly after I made a call to the office. Towels and pillowcases had a dank smell, but we washed and dried them and they were fine.

Housekeeping

Overall condo was clean and inviting. Although air vents really needed cleaning. Television in 2nd bedroom didn’t work but was immediately checked by property manager. Need new beach chairs. Ceiling in small bedroom was black from air vent. Shortage of teaspoons. A kettle would have been nice. We used saucepans to heat water.

Family

My family has been going to St. Augustine since I was a baby and I’m about to celebrate my 40th bday. This year we came to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th bday. There were about 35 of us total. Several of her grandchildren and great grandchildren were there. Colony Reef is the perfect spot for this. There’s the beach, the pool and then there’s the big yard in between the buildings for the kids to play together at night. We all had so much fun!!

The condo was bright, spacious, and had all the needed amenities. The pool and playground were wonderful, and beach access couldn’t have been better! A huge bonus was being able to trailer our boat and park it on property.

Nice condo and complex

We really enjoyed this condo. Furnishings and bedding/mattresses are attractive and updated. The complex is nice with a large pool, grassy areas and close proximity to beach. Well-stocked kitchen. Loved the deck! Master bath could use more towel rods or hooks, but that's a minor issue. We would totally stay here again!

Toilet problems

Upon arrival, we realized the guest bathroom toilet was not flushing properly. Immediately I called management services and was told that it was working earlier. I assured the lady that four women did not show up to a condo to break the flush valve. They were unable to send anyone out that day. They sent someone out the second day and told us we just had to jiggle the handle a couple of times to get it to work. The third day they came out and admitted that the toilet fill valve was broken. We spent the entire trip with a bucket filling the bowl and tank. Not a fun adventure. I believe the cleaning crew earlier in the day knew there was an issue.
