Love the location. Close to the water.

Close to restaurants. The place is a little small, but very comfortable for two people. Would definitely stay there again.

Walking distance to the beach, completely renovated and improved as we have been going to these properties for over 20 years. It’s even better than it ever was.

Hidden gem

Unfortunately, I was only able to stay two nights due to other bookings. The unit is bright and clean with lots of storage and a fully stocked kitchen with pretty much everything you might need. Laundry facilities were clean and convenient. Best of all the staff at the Colony Inn is OUTSTANDING! Very helpful. Would totally recommend!
