Had a great time love our view from 1303

The views are amazing from this condo! We really enjoyed our stay. The property was quiet and clean. Beach access was easy and full of wildlife to enjoy, bunnies, tortoises and snakes, oh my! The only down side to this condo is that the crows nest beds don't seem to be full length twins so if your kids are bigger it might not work. Over all we loved our stay!

Reviewer Comments: 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.

Reviewer Comments: 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.

Fortunately this property is in a nice area with a spectacular view and that’s what saves it. The entire place needs an overhaul. Carpet in the master is dirty. Everything is outdated and dingy. Everything is sticky, falling apart or rusted. Curtain jn the master was broken and we couldn’t open it so we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful view from the room. Bed in master feels like you are sleeping on a trampoline. The third bedroom though was written in description was not a full bedroom but had two twins did not fit kids properly. Then to make matters worse we couldn’t all shower one after the other. If not by the second shower there would be no hot water. So 6 of us had to stagger and make sure to give enough time between showers and take short showers so everyone had a warm shower. Couches felt dirty and the chairs in the dining room were upholstered and they were dirty as well. It’s a shame because updated that place would be a great place to stay.

What makes this unit is the view. Amazing Ocean View as well as the pool. I didn't like the carpeting in the bedrooms but again, we knew this going into our week.

I have been coming to Colony Reef the last 6 years and have always had a great experience. However, this year there were a few things that made my husband and I rethink if we want to come back again. There was a water shut off for most of the day due to a concrete leak. They posted the sign and although bothersome, we understood. Since we have five kids, we planned that day to go into town instead of the beach so we lost the beach day. 2 days later, there was no notice posted and we are woken up at 8:30 in the morning to Jack hammering and the water was again shut off. This was definitely annoying as we couldn't use toilets or anything and I had grumpy kids on my hands. For the first time ever, the pool was not available outside to swim after dark. My kids and I loved doing those late night swims and this was a huge disappointment. We heard because the lighting wasn't up to code and this is something that definitely needs to get fixed and I hope it does before next year. We also learned they changed the security. The guard was extremely harsh. Anytime my kids would dip their toes in the hot tub, he would come barreling out and continue to watch all of us and it was very uncomfortable. I understand he's just doing his job but it was way Overkill. Taking all those things into account, made our stay less than Stellar this year. My husband's family has been coming for over 40 years. We rented four units this year and are going to possibly look around to go somewhere else if some of these things remain the same. On a positive note, the boardwalk was redone and is beautiful. It makes walking down to the beach with all of our stuff so much easier.
