At Colony Reef - Beach Access, Ocean Views, Heated Pool, Lovely Condo, 4th Floor, travelers highlight big ocean-view balconies, an easy walk to the beach, and a family-friendly complex with multiple pools, an indoor heated pool, hot tub, and tennis.
Guests consistently commend the responsive hosts, clear communication, and smooth check-in. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, with large patios and well-stocked kitchens, though a few note a narrower layout or worn cookware. Cleanliness is usually strong, but some report sand left on floors or occasional odors, and there is an isolated report of elevator trouble. Overall, expect a relaxed beach stay with robust amenities and attentive hosting.

We had a GREAT time at this condo and Butler beach! It was our family of 4, so our son & daughter were able to each have their own room. The view is amazing and since it wasn’t that hot when we stayed (in July!) we loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves! It’s right above the pool, so you can hear the kids playing but it stops at 9, but that didn’t bother us and it was never too loud! There is so much to do in the condo area with all ages of people playing in the grassy courtyard area (until quiet hours so that was good!). They even had a movie night for families Thursday night. We loved it!! I personally don’t think all the chairs on the balcony were necessary- not really enough room for lounge chairs but some may love it. We just scooted them out of our way and it was no big deal. The property was clean but needs some baseboards cleaned and to use a new mop in the bathroom b/c when we got there it had a smell in bathrooms. I wasn’t sure if it was the mop or the fan in the bathroom. I didn’t run the fan the rest of the trip so I didn’t smell it after a day. It wasn’t even an issue big enough to report earlier. Easy walk to the beach and lots of great restaurants around. Lots of games in the condo too! Thanks for sharing your place with us! We will be back!!

Clean, quiet, and comfortable condo with a gorgeous view of the ocean and the swimming pool. The condos have everything you could ask for - multiple swimming pools, even an indoor one, tennis courts, gym, playground, and private beach entrance. The hosts were helpful and responsive, and I have no complaints whatsoever.

This condo was beautiful. Great location even in comparison to other condos at this place. Sunrose behind your back in the condo so you could enjoy shade in the morning. Its right above the pool but wasnt loud and thry closed the pool striclty at 9. I loved the view from the 4th floor. Verykid friendly place with families playing in the centercourtyard. They had a movie Wednesday night and food trucks everyday this week for designated hours by the pool. Condo had games and books. Nice towel selection and pool towels. Only complaint was the kitchen. Pots pans are old and beat up no spices. Knives awful but its what you expect. We cook a lot so this was tough but made it work. Overall loved. Will definitely come back.

One word - Balcony! We spent much of our time relaxing on the comfy loungers enjoying the ocean breeze and views! The facilities at Colony Bay are top notch - beautiful pool (although unheated, warm one indoors!), ping pong, racquetball, tennis, pickleball, bingo - all within a short walk! The condo itself is well appointed. It is well loved, but clean and the comfortable. There is plenty of seating in the family room and large dining table. There is even a desk for those of us who never quite get a vacation! Owners are terrific and quick to respond to any concerns. We spent a month and loved every minute!

Wonderful trip, great view of the ocean and beach, well stocked right down to back up condiments; plenty of towels including beach towels, although a little chilly for ocean dip Only issue was lot of noise from refurbishing outdoor pool which apparently happens roughly every 15 years. Overall great trip

The resort area has food trucks daily and movie night on wednesday, the condo was nice size the balcony and views were perfect! This is a great place to stay with family, safe, the resort does have a lot of rules so if youre looking to drink and smoke this is not the place for you! No alcohol at pool or beach.

We adore this property in St Augustine Beach! It is spotless and so so close to the beach! The pool was fabulously cold which was refreshing and invigorating! Our beach is the best place ever for taking long brisk walks at sunup! The host was as always prompt with any inquiries! Kudos for that!

Secondly, the place was spotless, and very convenient! We cooked our meals, and were able to remain on our healthy diet! Third, the amenities were fabulous! I would love to return in Summer. And last but not least, everyone is very friendly and helpful! Thank you very much David and Patti, we will be back!

This was a great property and we had a wonderful time! The review was improved because the owner made it right when my children got stuck in the elevator on the first day, giving us a traumatic start to our vacation. So please verify the elevator is FIXED (or even better, replaced) before you stay as this unit is on the fourth floor. The whole week we were there we saw the sign on and off for it being fixed but really it probably needs to be replaced, which is not the owner's fault, but it is a factor nonetheless with a fourth story unit. The unit also felt narrower than advertised with the photos - it was a bit narrower than any other beach condo I'd stayed at. And the floor had quite a bit of sand on it when I arrived. Granted I am a neat freak and even after they kindly sent someone to re-clean it and I also cleaned it as best I could, I still felt sand on the floor. The floors were just not amenable to sand. POOL WAS AMAZING AS WAS THE BEACH. My kids had a total blast and the location to the pool and beach was unparalleled. Be aware if the elevator is working, it is on the opposite end of the building so you'll have to walk down a few units, get on the elevator, and then walk back down the length of the building to get to the pool and beach, but it's not far, just FYI. Stairs are right near the unit, though, if you don't mind a few extra steps! The owner and property manager were incredibly responsive and cared that we had a fun vacation. Thank you!

The condominium was larger than expected, which was nice and clean. View of the ocean is wonderful plus it's the top floor so there's no footsteps above you. There is a handy folder with information on the complex and local ideas for entertainment and restaurants. In the living room, the furniture drawers have games, cards, puzzles and Florida interest books. Big plus if you're into nature. The exterior of the building is a 'bit weather worn, but the unit itself, well it's beach charming! I'd definitely come back. The owners were very helpful with any questions I had. Overall, a great experience. :) 🙂

We love St Augustine Beach and especially Colony Reef Club! We’ve stayed here many times, but this was our first time in this unit. It was very nice: comfy bed and nice Living Room furniture. It’s one of the only units with 2 King sized beds.The kitchen is nice, clean and easy to use. There is a small pantry for storage. This place is a convenient location for restaurants and shops. It was a great stay!

It’s one of the only units with 2 King sized beds.The kitchen is nice, clean and easy to use. There is a small pantry for storage. This place is a convenient location for restaurants and shops. It was a great stay!

Can't say enough good about our stay at this condo. Great views. Large rooms with great decor. Comfortable Beds. Well stocked kitchen. Attention to details to insure a great stay. The pool was perfect and beach pristine. The management company David 10 Stars. Answers question almost immediately. Most detailed and complete check in and information instructions I have ever seen. I cant say a negative thing but I could just keep going on how great this place and the management team was. We will be back again!!

We stayed at this property for 5 days! It was spectacular! First, instructions by David was concise and complete! He remained in contact throughout our stay! He is extremely helpful. Secondly, the place was spotless, and very convenient! We cooked our meals, and were able to remain on our healthy diet! Third, the amenities were fabulous! I would love to return in Summer. And last but not least, everyone is very friendly and helpful! Thank you very much David and Patti, we will be back!

Had an amazing weekend at your lovely beach condo. The condo was very clean and well stocked. The location was great with plenty of restaurants nearby and not far from all the sights of St. Augustine. Check in was very seamless and all the staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. The communication with David great! All info for check in and check out was delivered as promised. Really a great experience and we will be back!

One word - Balcony! We spent much of our time relaxing on the comfy loungers enjoying the ocean breeze and views! The facilities at Colony Bay are top notch - beautiful pool (although unheated, warm one indoors!), ping pong, racquetball, tennis, pickleball, bingo - all within a short walk! The condo itself is well appointed. It is well loved, but clean and the comfortable. There is plenty of seating in the family room and large dining table. There is even a desk for those of us who never quite get a vacation! Owners are terrific and quick to respond to any concerns. We spent a month and loved every minute!

We had a GREAT time at this condo and Butler beach! It was our family of 4, so our son & daughter were able to each have their own room. The view is amazing and since it wasn’t that hot when we stayed (in July!) we loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves! It’s right above the pool, so you can hear the kids playing but it stops at 9, but that didn’t bother us and it was never too loud! There is so much to do in the condo area with all ages of people playing in the grassy courtyard area (until quiet hours so that was good!). They even had a movie night for families Thursday night. We loved it!! I personally don’t think all the chairs on the balcony were necessary- not really enough room for lounge chairs but some may love it. We just scooted them out of our way and it was no big deal. The property was clean but needs some baseboards cleaned and to use a new mop in the bathroom b/c when we got there it had a smell in bathrooms. I wasn’t sure if it was the mop or the fan in the bathroom. I didn’t run the fan the rest of the trip so I didn’t smell it after a day. It wasn’t even an issue big enough to report earlier. Easy walk to the beach and lots of great restaurants around. Lots of games in the condo too! Thanks for sharing your place with us! We will be back!!

This was a great property and we had a wonderful time! The review was improved because the owner made it right when my children got stuck in the elevator on the first day, giving us a traumatic start to our vacation. So please verify the elevator is FIXED (or even better, replaced) before you stay as this unit is on the fourth floor. The whole week we were there we saw the sign on and off for it being fixed but really it probably needs to be replaced, which is not the owner's fault, but it is a factor nonetheless with a fourth story unit. The unit also felt narrower than advertised with the photos - it was a bit narrower than any other beach condo I'd stayed at. And the floor had quite a bit of sand on it when I arrived. Granted I am a neat freak and even after they kindly sent someone to re-clean it and I also cleaned it as best I could, I still felt sand on the floor. The floors were just not amenable to sand. POOL WAS AMAZING AS WAS THE BEACH. My kids had a total blast and the location to the pool and beach was unparalleled. Be aware if the elevator is working, it is on the opposite end of the building so you'll have to walk down a few units, get on the elevator, and then walk back down the length of the building to get to the pool and beach, but it's not far, just FYI. Stairs are right near the unit, though, if you don't mind a few extra steps! The owner and property manager were incredibly responsive and cared that we had a fun vacation. Thank you!

Visited St. Augustine for girls' Trip, and had a fantastic stay. This condo is perfectly located to all the local attractions and quaint downtown. The condo was spacious, clean and the view of the beach was Perfecto. Also used the gym, and it had everything I needed to get in a great workout! My friends and I have been missing our stay ever since we left, and plan on going back. Everything from check-in to check-out was on target... wonderful hosts, perfect accomodations!

This condo was beautiful. Great location even in comparison to other condos at this place. Sunrose behind your back in the condo so you could enjoy shade in the morning. Its right above the pool but wasnt loud and thry closed the pool striclty at 9. I loved the view from the 4th floor. Verykid friendly place with families playing in the centercourtyard. They had a movie Wednesday night and food trucks everyday this week for designated hours by the pool. Condo had games and books. Nice towel selection and pool towels. Only complaint was the kitchen. Pots pans are old and beat up no spices. Knives awful but its what you expect. We cook a lot so this was tough but made it work. Overall loved. Will definitely come back.
