Requested a queen or king bed…assigned a room with two doubles. A beach cart would be helpful…and advertise the availability of beach chairs at the office if not provided in room.
The accomodations were clean and comfortable and the host was prompt with responding to my messages. It was nice being so close to the beach since beach parking is expensive. I chose this rental because it advertised a heated pool. The pool was closed and under construction. Very disappointing.

The amenities are still under construction and the pool was unavailable. But the worst part was we tried to check in and the codes did not work and it took an hour to rectify the situation. no one was on duty and we arrived at 4:00 pm. Keep[ in mind I was rehabbing from and achilleas tendon injury and walking all over the facility was awfull.

Dear Guest, thank you for stopping in at Colony In 03. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you experienced upon arrival, particularly the difficulty with the entry codes and the delay in resolving the issue. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after traveling and arriving at check-in time, and we regret that no one was immediately available to assist you.
We are also sorry that the amenities were still under construction and that the pool was unavailable during your stay. We do our best to communicate this in advance, but we understand how disappointing this can be.
Most importantly, we truly regret the added discomfort this situation caused you while you were rehabilitating from an Achilles tendon injury. Having to walk around the property under those circumstances is understandably difficult, and we are very sorry that your arrival experience added unnecessary strain at a time when comfort and ease were especially important.
Your feedback is taken seriously, and we are reviewing our procedures to ensure smoother check-ins and better on-site support going forward. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to host you again under improved circumstances and provide the comfortable, seamless stay you deserve.
