We had a great time here. All we did is get food at bel bagel and deli and hang out on the beach and in the gulf. It was very relaxing and comfortable. Everything was perfect. Marcia and Michael in the office were exceedingly kind and accommodating.

Great place to stay!

Wonderful place to stay! Very clean, neat as a pin. The kitchen, small but well organized and equipped. Can make own ice and get extra ice at the ice maker near the pool. Nice pool and grounds. Well cared for. Very close to the beach!! Beach chairs and umbrellas available at the office (free). We loved our stay here!!- P.S. A small drying rack would have been helpful in the screened in porch to hang wet swim suits. Thank you!

Our unit at the Colony Inn was lovely! It was decorated in beachy but not tacky! A very comfortable king bed, lots of built ins for unpacking suitcases. Kitchen stocked with plenty of things you need while there. Dishwasher and fridge and stove and coffee maker and toaster and blender. Spacious bathroom. Big living room with the dining table off to the side. Big comfy couch and two chairs that opens up to the lanai. It’s just all wonderful. You could stay for a long time. The pool is delightful. The grounds are beautiful. It’s an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. There are beach chairs and umbrellas and towels and shelling supplies available to use. The office folks are helpful and kind. Stay here! You’ll be glad you did!

Colony Inn Review

The Colony Inn exceeded all of our expectations! The room was absolutely gorgeous, the atmosphere was peaceful and inviting, and the entire property was beautifully maintained. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Even though my guests and I arrived early, they graciously allowed us access to the beach and pool while we waited, which made the start of our stay even more enjoyable. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Everything about our experience was fantastic, and we will absolutely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
