It's a perfect location. This is the second year for my group. We provided a long list of things that needed to be fixed when we checked in - including a microwave that couldn't be used and was a fire hazard. They brought us a new one. The unit wasn't clean. When we checked in, one of the bathtubs had oil and sand in it. The floors were dirty. I guess the ridiculous part was a sign left in the unit saying WE had to sweep the floors and have the unit cleaned for the next guests. Are you kidding me??? We love this place, but we did get the other names of beach condos when we left.

We had a great time for our stay at The Colonnades. Our room was everything we wanted and needed. Plenty of room to spread out and a great balcony. The kitchen was well stocked and the furniture was comfortable. My only concern would be the entry code for the front door. We stayed in this unit last year and the code was still the same this year as last, which makes we wonder if it ever changes. That seems to be a security lapse to me.

Manager's Response

Hi Jill! Thank you for pointing out the security code. We will look into that for sure. So glad that you enjoyed your visit with us (again) and we hope you will come back again soon!

The corner units @ The Colonnades are very nice, large units. The size and location of the building are perfect for how we enjoy our time at the beach. The low-density profile of the building allows for a less crowded experience on the beach in front of the building.

Our particular unit was clean/ well furnished, and perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms were nice, and all the systems worked well.

This unit could use a larger television in the living room, but that is nit-picking. The furniture was comfortable and clean.

Great place that I would recommend to anyone.

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.

Manager's Response

So glad that you ladies had a great time! Hope to see you back again next year.

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.

Manager's Response

Hi Brian! Sorry tp hear about the elevator repairs. Unfortunately, repairs do sometimes have to be made and it is just out of our control. We are so glad that you enjoyed your unit and our services. We hope to see you back again soon!

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.

Manager's Response

So glad you enjoyed our condo, despite the fact that it wasn't ready right at 4PM. This peak season has been like no other and that's why we gave multiple pre-notices regarding delays, to our arriving guests so they could plan accordingly. We truly do appreciate your understanding. We have a shortage of appliances in this area, partially due to high demand after hurricane Sally, so I'm glad we were able to get a new one installed during your stay. Thank you again for your patience and understanding and we're glad you enjoyed your stay despite the challenges.

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.

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.

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.

Manager's Response

Hi Cheryl, thanks for your input. Had we known the under under counter ice maker and dishwasher were malfunctioning, we would have had a technician there same day. To my knowledge we did not receive that info from you. Sorry for any inconvenience that may have created. Both appliances are now repaired. Bedroom lamps are on "switched outlets" so the wall switch actually turns on the lamps. If wall switch is not on, lamps won't work. We hope you return to our Gulf Coast soon!

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