Sea Colony Pond-Front Condo w/ WiFi & Shared Pools, Tennis, and Fitness Center

This was a great 3 bedroom, two bath unit with a large kitchen filled with everything that was needed for cooking meals. Comfortable beds and couches and located on a beautiful pond.

Very nicely decorated and furnished condo, but a couple of major issues to be addressed: First, the place had a musty smell. Second, the master bed was uncomfortable. More minor is that the shower faucet needs to be fixed so it doesn’t keep popping out.

I loved the porch, where we ate our meals and enjoyed the view. What a gorgeous property!

This was a fabulous unit. We've stayed at Sea Colony many times but this was the best unit we've stayed in.

We really enjoyed the ease of check-in/check-out. The place was clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen. They had bedding and bath towels, so we didn't have to bring any. They leave starter paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap and sponge. The tram takes you to any pool at Sea Colony that you want to go, as well as, their private beach. It is a bit dated, decor wise, but very clean and the AC works great! There is a lovely screened in porch, overlooking a little water way and the birds and turtles were fun to watch. There were young families, some couples, a lot of polite people......felt very safe and the entire property is beautifully maintained. The only complaint is that I felt tricked in the beginning of the process. I almost felt sick because I hadn't confirmed pricing or dates with my friends, but thought I would be able to cancel if need be, as we were renting for a year later.... I thought I was renting through VRBO and would have time to decide and share info with my friends, however, it is really rented through Vacasa (a completely different site, with different rules.).... and once they confirm your reservation, there is no refund or cancellation. You have to fill out a lease, pay for parking pass, service fee and ammenity passes to use the tram, pools and beach, on top of the price. Because of this, I had to pay for 3/4 of the high price for four days because my friends said they would not be able to contribute the amount it ended up being. Not sure why they are on VRBO site, which offers cancellation and partial payments. I will say, though, that dealing with Vacasa, other than the switcheroo, was fine. We will be back, just will use the Vacasa sight, now that we are aware of the conditions.

The house was comfortable and a good size. The furnishings were attractive and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the screened in porch with a pretty view of the lake.

The community was very well kept and clean. Lots of amenities to enjoy and the swimming pools near the beach were nice,
