The beach view was gorgeous, and Colony Reef is always an excellent place for access to the beach and a wonderful, large pool that they keep very clean! We've been coming to Colony Reef for many years, and have been in many different condos. The condo was overall nice and had all that you would need for a stay on the beach! Our main concern was that we found 4-5 large palmetto bugs (roaches) coming out at night in the living room and kitchen. We found moldy candy under the couch, which could be the culprit. They did send someone to do a quick spray around the kitchen area and living room, so that helped a bit as we found some dead roaches the next day. However, the place also had a "worn" look. And with finding the moldy candy in and around the couch, was not as clean as other condos we've visited. The bedrooms had nice, comfortable beds, but the small window in the front large bedroom had a heavy curtain over it we couldn't open, and there was no light in the room except one small lamp. It was very dark and hard to navigate for my young adult kids. The bunk room was made for young kids, but the lamps were hard to turn on, and seemed a little broken. Lighting was an issue. Overall, our stay was nice, but until they updated some of the areas, did a more thorough cleaning and hired a pest control company to do more than a little spraying with a pest control product from the local home improvement store, we wouldn't probably stay here again.
