The Colonnades 703

We are long term winter guests and we appreciate the space to spread out and call this unit home for a few months.

We stayed at the Colonnades for our annual girls trip. We have stayed at different condos there over the years. The layout of 703 was great for us (4 older women!) It was clean. The microwave and dryer are dated but still worked fine. The management company was excellent with their communication. Our new favorite restaurant is Lulu's. I would definitely recommend this condo.

Loved the location right on the beach. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Incredible sunrises from the balcony. Only complaint was they only had 1 elevator working so waits were a little long.

The accommodations were wonderful! Our family of 8, plus baby were super excited with the amount of space and cleanliness! We definitely recommend this property and plan to come back on future trips!

Nice! Clean! Great view! Spacious! Lovely unit! Unfortunately there was only 1 elevator in operation but we made it work! Recommending this location to all my family and friends!

We recently rented the condo for 7 adults. Plenty of room for all of us and each bedroom had their own bathroom. The condo was nicely furnished. Loved the location right on the beach. There were a few issues however. We weren’t able to get into our condo until 2 hours after the 4:00 check in, and even then they were still cleaning it. The dish washer didn’t work and it was replaced, but not until Tuesday. The ice maker in the bar wasn’t working and we called and never heard anything back about it. We were told about the one elevator not working ahead of time but that didn’t help when everyone was checking in at the same time on Sat and the line to get on the elevator was out into the parking garage. We finally gave up and carried most of our things up the seven flights of stairs. The hot tub was cold and it was supposed to be fixed all week but never did heat up.

Our family had a great vacation.

I enjoy renting this condo from Simpson Properties. They are very accommodating. Prompt to answer my questions whether or not I email or leave a voicemail. I have been renting with Simpson Properties for 8 years now and I will continue to do so... going back in August... booked through Simpson. The check in and checkout was very simple and quick... I like simple and quick. Simpson is also good with notification of any changes that might be happening. Thank you Simpson Properties!

Everything was perfect. The couple glitches we experienced were corrected very timely and professional.

Everything was just as described. The place was super nice and clean. Large balcony, perfect views, and great sized rooms. The property management were really friendly and helpful.

This was our 3rd year staying here and there were some improvements- new dining room and living room furniture, and new tvs in the bedrooms. We love this building, there are only 53 units, which means no crowding and easy parking. We work through Simpson Properties and they are wonderful. If there is a problem, we just call them and they take care of it quickly.

Loved the condo. Beautiful views and convenient to anything you need. Very spacious and clean. Beds were excellent and we all slept well!!! Great experience with rental company personnel!!!

Overall the condo was great...plenty of room, very nice, & clean. The only complaint we really had was locking and unlocking the front door. We had a hard time getting the key to work in the lock every time we had to go in or out.

The condo was very pretty with a beautiful view of the gulf from the balcony. The location was nice and close to everything. The beach was clean and there was plenty of room to spread out. We loved having the four bedrooms and baths. We had eight people for vacation and it was nice for everyone to have there own space.
Our only complaint is that the mattresses need to be replaced. They were not comfortable and make a lot of noise when you turned over in the bed.

4 adults and 3 teens stayed at Colonnades 703 in July 2019. There are numerous positives about the building, beginning with the location on the east end of Beach Blvd nearing the Gulf State Park. There was plenty of parking available at the building, and we never had to wait too long on the elevators. The condo is spacious, and each bedroom has a bathroom, 3 being ensuite. There are two balconies, one overlooking the beach and the Gulf, and a smaller one with a view of the building next door. We typically stayed on the beach all day, and we enjoyed smaller crowds due to the low density complex. Just west of Colonnades, at San Carlos, the beach was crowded. We prepared breakfast and lunch at the condo each day, and we made use of a nice toaster and blender for frozen waffles, toast, and smoothies. There are numerous restaurants nearby, and there is a Surf Style shop within walking distance is you need ice or beach accessories. The Rental Mgmt company communicated very well. I would only note two negatives: the bar ice maker (which was listed in the amenities) was not working; also, the ceramic tile floor in the kitchen was filthy upon our arrival. My wife ran a swiffer over it shortly after we arrived, and it was very dirty. Other than that, the condo seemed to be very clean upon arrival. Bottom line, we had a great time and would stay here again.

Very nice and clean

It was fantastic! Thank you so much!

Nice clean condo/reasonable cost. Definitely go back.

We had a really good time and enjoyed our stay in Colonnades. Very nice condo but needs some new living room furniture. Great views and beautiful beach.

I can't say enough about this unit. It was the cleanest,well managed unit we have started in. Simpson Properties was excellent to work with.

This property was perfect for what we were looking for. Great location and views! The condo was very clean and well kept. Walking access to the beach out of the back of property was very nice to have, no driving. It is close to stores, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend this place! We can not wait to go back!

We had a great time the condo was amazing.

Great location for families! Its nice to be walking distance from shops and restaurants but far enough away from the crowds and college students. We love the indoor poor in case it rains or people want to get out of the sun.
Easy check-in and check out process with Simpson Properties!

Colonades 703 was great. Nice having bathrooms for all 4 bedrooms. Great view, and well stocked kitchen. Separate bar area with a bonus ice machine. Only suggestion would be bunks in bedroom with two twins, That way would easily sleep 10. Lives this place will definitely stay here again!

It was pleasant but icemaker did not work, dishwasher did not sound good when used. There were lamp lights out in bedrooms. Overall it was nice but for the money it needed ork and some repairs, not to mention the firedrill over the frozen pipe.

The property was absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful stay unfortunately it wasn't long enough. The view was absolutely breathtaking and great access to the beach. The only issue I had was a small one. The lock was sticking and it was hard to open the door. Overall,everything was excellent.

From start to finish, this was a wonderful stay. The communications were great from Simpson Properties Group. Everything was as described. Just couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you Simpson Group!!!

The property company is absolutely fantastic to work with!

Amazing location place and the rental company top notch

We stayed in this condo in March of this year during spring break. Everyone had a great time and would definitely stay here again
