The condo was as expected, a little outdated but clean. What makes this unit is the view. Amazing Ocean View as well as the pool. I didn't like the carpeting in the bedrooms but again, we knew this going into our week.I have been coming to Colony Reef the last 6 years and have always had a great experience. However, this year there were a few things that made my husband and I rethink if we want to come back again. There was a water shut off for most of the day due to a concrete leak. They posted the sign and although bothersome, we understood. Since we have five kids, we planned that day to go into town instead of the beach so we lost the beach day. 2 days later, there was no notice posted and we are woken up at 8:30 in the morning to Jack hammering and the water was again shut off. This was definitely annoying as we couldn't use toilets or anything and I had grumpy kids on my hands. For the first time ever, the pool was not available outside to swim after dark. My kids and I loved doing those late night swims and this was a huge disappointment. We heard because the lighting wasn't up to code and this is something that definitely needs to get fixed and I hope it does before next year. We also learned they changed the security. The guard was extremely harsh. Anytime my kids would dip their toes in the hot tub, he would come barreling out and continue to watch all of us and it was very uncomfortable. I understand he's just doing his job but it was way Overkill. Taking all those things into account, made our stay less than Stellar this year. My husband's family has been coming for over 40 years. We rented four units this year and are going to possibly look around to go somewhere else if some of these things remain the same. On a positive note, the boardwalk was redone and is beautiful. It makes walking down to the beach with all of our stuff so much easier.
