My family has been staying at Colony by the Sea for years. We used to rent a big house, but having a lot of people in one space inevitably led to issues. We found Colony by the Sea and have been staying there ever since, I think this summer will be our 6th time over 10 years? Having 2 or 3 condos in the same plan allows us all to spend as much time together as we want, but we all have out own place to call home and set the A/C where we want and keep as clean or dirty as we like. :) We have rented every room on the third floor of this building at some point, and they are all nice. None are 5-Star accommodations at the Ritz, but who wants that at the beach? They are all cozy, clean, convenient and well cared for. Some have bunk beds, some a washer/dryer, some a couch in the hallway...each has its own merits. The views over the ocean are amazing and the breeze coming in at night makes walking the steps worth it. The pool is always in great shape and the beach is never crowded. Being so close to the ocean and a pool is fantastic! Its a short ride into Duck (rent bikes) and the restaurant on the Sound is close and great for sunsets with Margaritas. The property has a real family-friendly vibe, is never crowded even when at max capacity, and is well kept. There is coin-opearated laundry facilities on-site and plenty of space to store bikes, chairs, etc. Great location, great facility, great rooms, great beach...what more could you want? Sun Realty is also great to work with, conveniently located on your way OUT of town (important with the traffic there!) and they take care of any issues promptly.

We loved this unit, it was clean and had comfortable furnishings. Perfect size for a family with small children- they loved the bunk beds! The kitchen was nice & well stocked. We would vacation here again.
