Our family had a wonderful trip to the beach! The ocean front location made things smooth with lots of kids and for carrying down gear for fun on the beach. The kitchen was nice to prepared simple meals and the condo was perfect to relax in at the end of a fun day at the beach. It was nicely stocked with basics to use and really appreciated the convenient washer and dryer in the master bathroom. Beautiful sunrises could be enjoyed on the outside patio or a quick walk down to the shoreline. Easy access to the boardwalk with a quick drive. We would definitely recommend for families with kids and hope to be able to come back sometime ourselves!

The host left us lots of supplies that even though we brought our own, it was nice to know we were prepared.The accessible shower was wonderful and the best we have ever encountered when renting.Only negative and this might be a Sea Colony Issue and not the host:Outside the door in the hallway in there was lots of lint and dirt. I don't know who should clean it but it would give a much better impression if it were clean.

Wonderful stay!

This unit was immaculately clean and well-appointed! And you can't beat the location - you can walk right out to the beach or pool with no elevator. Even the parking space is extremely convenient. The owner provided a thorough welcome packet with every bit of information we needed before we arrived which was much appreciated. My husband and I stayed there with my elderly parents and our three children ages 4, 7, and 10 and it was just perfect for us! We had a wonderful stay!

Great location and property

Sea Colony is perfect for families and this condo is a great location on the first floor. The beds were very comfortable in the 3 rooms and the kitchen was well stocked. My only complaint would be that the living room furniture could use an update, but the owner seemed receptive to that. Would definitely stay again

Great condo, perfect for older family members

The condo is comfortable and well-equipped, especially with an accessible shower and a handicap access bar near the toilet in one of the bathrooms. The view from the living room is wonderful. It's so nice being on the first floor so the grandmas did not have to take an elevator up and down to the beach/pool. We loved all the Sea Colony amenities and are definitely looking forward to coming back.

Hi Rachel, I am sorry you had some issues during your stay. If you stay with us again in the future just let me know when you run into something like that. The TVs were working fine after you left so I am assuming you just had it on the wrong setting. I live up the road and could have helped trouble shoot that issue for you.

Perfect little beach spot

Definitely would stay here again! This unit was very clean and conveniently located. Love the fact that the reserved parking spot was next to the stairwell which was steps away from the front door. For a first floor unit I wasn’t expecting to have a view and was pleasantly surprised. We loved having the convenience of walking out the sliding doors to the beach. You are steps away from one of the many pools and a short walk to the indoor pool. The only minor issue we had was pulling out the bed from the couch. It was really difficult to pull out. Other than that it was a great stay.

march getaway

The place was wonderful and the owners were excellent at getting back to us right away with the challenges that we did have. I didn't love that we had to pay extra for linens, and we did not have notice that the pool, fitness center or hot tub would be unavailable- all of which we were looking forward to. However, other than that it was a great weekend and I would recommend this place!

All in all - 4.5 out of 5 stars

Air Conditioner Issue. When we first arrived the thermostat was set at 75. After a few hours, the temperature in the apartment was 78, although the thermostat was still set at 75. A quick call to the owner, and a very fast response from maintenance, was able to rectify the problem. Thank you!! Re: Welcome Guide, page 4: It states that "2 badges or less with come.... 3 or more badges will come with two parking passes... This was a bit misleading that the badges "come" with the parking pass. It should be noted that you must purchase each badge; no badges come with the parking pass. Re: Pull Out Sofa in Living Room: We had a need to use the pull out sofa; however due to the fact that the table in front of the sofa was very heavy, we were not able to move the table to open up the sofa. Sleeps 10? Eight would be max. Living room sleep sofa/futon? Was there supposed to be a futon somewhere? Also, again due to the very heavy table in the living room, we could not straighten out the carpet in the living room which resulted in several people tripping on the carpet (grandparents and children). Re: Dining Room Table/Chairs: Two of the chair legs on the dining chair with arms was wobbly. This was due to the fact of a missing nut. Re: Pool Picture on VRBO site: The picture is a bit misleading as we thought the pool was directly in front of the condo. Re: Bedroom with Sliding Doors: The doors did not slide well. Consider another door alternative.
