First the good - the location is fantastic! It was an easy walk to the main boardwalk (~15-20min), quick 5 minutes to the pool, tennis or beach and Sea Colony does an excellent job with the resort amenities. Our kids really enjoyed the beach bonfire and DJ, and my husband and I loved the views from our balcony and the easy umbrella/chair rental right outside our building. We loved the swings on the beach - my girls were there daily! Check in & out was easy and communication with the Vacasa team was adequate (although easy to identify that their text system is just AI).
Now the bad - the condo is very outdated but the pictures show that. Also, there are a ton of beachy Knick knacks throughout that just accumulate dust or something to break. We were really grossed out by the level of soap scum on the glass shower doors and walls, layers of dust accumulated in every corner or cabinet and overall grimy-ness of the bedding/couches/etc. Vacasa asked for our review of cleanliness when we arrived and I voiced these concerns with no resolve. My husband tried to make tea one morning and the teapot exploded from the bottom spraying him with hot water and ceramic pieces. Again reported but with no offer to resolve or even to ask if we were badly injured.
Overall, we’d stay at sea colony again in a heartbeat but would need to see that the cleaning level has been addressed before staying here again.
