The place had everything we needed for a weekend with my daughter and granddaughter. The pool was nice and it was only a short walk to the beach. The beach had a bit of seaweed but we drove to another beach our second day. Had a great time in the pool it was very warm

Beautiful Refresh

It was wonderful to finally return since hurricane Ian and see the Island and Colony Inn thriving again. The updated remodel of our unit was very comfortable. The ice machine on site was a very useful amenity and you can't beat this place to have a beautiful beach within walking distance.

Requested a queen or king bed…assigned a room with two doubles. A beach cart would be helpful…and advertise the availability of beach chairs at the office if not provided in room.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The accomodations were clean and comfortable and the host was prompt with responding to my messages. It was nice being so close to the beach since beach parking is expensive. I chose this rental because it advertised a heated pool. The pool was closed and under construction. Very disappointing.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
The amenities are still under construction and the pool was unavailable. But the worst part was we tried to check in and the codes did not work and it took an hour to rectify the situation. no one was on duty and we arrived at 4:00 pm. Keep[ in mind I was rehabbing from and achilleas tendon injury and walking all over the facility was awfull.
