Beachfront Condo 322, with 3 Pools Luxury 1 BR at Beachside Colony

Beautiful views from the condo!

Overall, we had a excellent experience staying at the condo. The location is fantastic - literal steps from the pool and a few more to the beach, gorgeous view from the balcony, spacious interior with modern updates. Plus, the drive into Savannah, which we did nearly every evening, is simple, close and pleasant. For that alone, this condo is worth it and if it weren't for the management issues, the actual property is worthy of a four or five star rating.

Unfortunately, we ran into several issues that made our stay more eventful than necessary, however they can and should be easily rectified. Due to recent updates, the air conditioning system wasn't functioning properly and it was extremely humid inside. In addition, the balcony sliding doors did not seal properly, letting in natural air (contributing to the humidity issue). After contacting management within 24 hours, I received timely responses but it was never fixed during our entire five day visit. To their credit, management proactively offered us a discount, but a minimal one that totaled 4% off our stay, considering the number of issues.

The bath tub is nice, however you can't count on using it with hot water because you quickly discover the tank is too small to fill it entirely with heated water. The check out time of 10:30 am is a bit early. There were no beach towels and after inquiring with management about their absence, it was explained they no longer provide them due to their propensity to disappear. There seems to me to be better solutions to this issue, other than completely removing amenities in their entirety.

Very clean and newly remodeled. The view from the balcony was perfect. We preferred the location also - quiet and less traffic than the south side. Having an on-site bar and pools was a perk. We’d definitely stay here again.

The condo was apparently just remodeled! Beautiful high end finishes in all rooms. It wasn’t quite finished tho! Paint cans in closets and on balcony, hardware missing on cuppoards and doors. But still beautiful! Would have been nice to have some basics like extra blanket, few spices, hangers, more coffee mugs, bowls and dishes for cooking.

The bedroom could get very noisy, especially on the weekend, the window being right on the metal stairway. The view was beautiful! Shades on the east window would help with the sunny mornings tho!!

The pools and beach were well maintained and uncrowded. Beach walks were are favorite! We were glad we were on the north side of Tybee, the south side was a lot more congested. All in all a great week!

We had never been to Tybee Island before, but we had been to Savannah. Since we wanted to be on a beach, we chose this spot. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were offered this unit to replace the one bedroom we had booked. The communication with the property management company was top-notch! Upon entering, we realized how lucky we were. This is beautifully a beautifully decorated unit which faces the Atlantic. The unit has beach towels, a beach blanket, and beach chairs for use. The bed was comfortable and the storage space was unbelievable. There is an elevator that opens into the unit which helps with loading and unloading of baggage, and the elevator is right next to the parking place assigned to the unit. There are several little things which stopped me from giving this unit a 5-star rating. (And they are little things, but details make the difference.) There are no instructions for the use of the 3 TV/Satellite remotes in the master bedroom. It became a process of finding which on was the correct one to use at any given time by going through all of the input possibilities until we found the correct combination. There was also a strange privacy issue. The master bathroom/shower could not be shut off from the master bedroom. I often get up early and shower while my husband sleeps late. I couldn't do this without waking him due to the configuration of the unit. Also, the water's edge is 1/10th of a mile from the unit (at high tide). I wasn't expecting this, but it seems like that is the norm on this part of the beach at Tybee. If you are looking for a great spot for shell-collecting, this isn't it. It could have just been an off week, but this was our experience.The beach in front of the condo complex is very quiet and not crowded at all. (At least when we were there.) It was an easy walk to the pier or the jetty. There was more of a crowd near the pier, but that was to be expected. Shop for groceries in Savannah before you reach the unit; the IGA on the island has a very limited variety of goods. We did drive into Savannah 3 times during our stay, and that was the best part of the vacation.
