Silver Ocean View 3406

This was our third stay at CRC and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there in August and will continue to recommend CRC to family and friends. Our condo was clean, comfortable and well furnished, but could use a fresh coat of paint.

Nice view, very family oriented.

We stay at Colony Reef every year, and we've never had a bad experience. Accommodations are always clean, in working order, and well maintained.

Our family has vacationed in St Augustine for years and this was our first stay at the Colony Reef Club. Overall, we greatly enjoyed the property and the amenities were wonderful. Our only negative was the cleanliness of the condo unit. The floors were dirty, kitchen cabinets (shelves) need to be cleaned and the bathroom tub had to be cleaned before we could use it.

We would also recommend updating the televisions and patio furniture.

The view from the balcony is fabulous. The condo is very well equipped. Furniture is comfortable. The balcony is spacious. The condo was clean when I arrived. The staff in the office are always helpful and friendly. The only issue is the balcony furniture needs to be replaced. It is rusty. Looking forward to coming back to sunny Florida next year.

Family oriented, safe, fun environment

Furniture very comfortable. Kitchen very well stocked and appliances are in great condition. The views from the living room and balcony are spectacular. The grounds are well kept. The staff in the office always friendly and helpful. New balcony furniture would be a plus.

We enjoy staying at Colony Reef as snow birds every winter. We just enjoyed our 5th year. The condos are all 3 bedroom, 2 bath. Very comfortable. They all have a great view of the ocean. The grounds are beautifully kept.

Clearly management expects the ocean front view to sell without any improvements to the room. I was told my room was a silver, but it felt more like a copper. I couldn’t get a decent night sleep on the prison style mattress. Floor tile was breaking due to improper installation. The list goes on.

We were very happy with the property, cleanliness and size of pool, great view from the condo and very friendly/professional staff. The unit 3406 however needs some attention. Slip covers don't fix everything, especially when they are not very clean! (I read that couches and master bed mattress will be replaced, and this is much needed). Dining chairs are also slipcovered and stained. Shower curtain liners need to be washed or replaced. Visible mold on bottom. $3 fix. Grout in both baths was also dirty/moldy. Kitchen is poorly stocked, with the exception of ample silverware. Pots/pans nonstick coating is flaking so we did not use. Kitchen is very cramped. We have stayed at the ocean many times and understand it is difficult to keep things spotless. This unit however could benefit from a deep clean. I didn't report anything to management, since we were busy and not planning on staying in the unit other than for sleeping. Would stay in this complex again, just not in this unit.

Fabulous view. Unit very clean. I liked the upgrade of glass doors in middle bathroom, with nice vanity. Kitchen layout a little crowded. Did not like not having shelves in back for items from store..master king not real comfortable, but a minor issue when a rental. I think leather would be better for furnishings not white covers.

Amazing views and the resort has so much to offer! Great pools, hot tub, and the world class beach! The front staff is amazing and always helpful! Can't wait to come back!

We planned this trip as a surprise getaway for our Executive Director and she loved it. She described how relaxing and peaceful everything was.

Engaged and friendly residents created many on site activities.

We have enjoyed two wonderful months here, and are looking forward to a continued good time in March.
The choice of using the indoor or outdoor pool means a lot during the winter months. Repair service was prompt and all Reef staff very personable.

This is our 7th year at CRC. Aside from wishing better flooring in our unit, we are extremely happy again to be here. We enjoy guided beach walks at Washington Oaks Park, GTM Reserve, and Ravine State Park (Palatka). St. A is close by with trolley tours, great architecture (tour the College and Castello San Marco) and where we find worthwhile art exhibits and galleries. Grocery stores are five minutes away and Disneyworld 2 hours away. Our favourite restaurants are Harry's, South Beach Grill, and La Strada.
