The unit was very nice and conveniently located to access the beach by walking. The location was peaceful day and night. The provided beach chairs were very nice and comfortable and the umbrella was in great condition worked perfectly. The pool was small so the water warmed up a bit too much to be refreshing in the heat of the day, but the kids didn’t mind! This was a very family friendly place and we would stay here again.

Wonderful Experience

Colony Inn was such a gem! It was extremely welcome and convenient. They have sure done a nice job with their rebuild! Just a short walk to the beach makes this location a dream! The condo was fully stocked with all necessities. The condo was so comfortable, and we highly enjoyed having a bedroom space and a living room space. The only improvements I would say is to get better pillows and or other options! We did direct book and it stated 20% off, but after the stay I found out that I was not given the discount so in all reality booking through air b and b is just the same as well. This did not hinder my 5-star review. All employees were so friendly and wonderful to work with.
