Beachside Colony Resort

The furnishings in the unit we rented were tired and worn. The tile floors were disgusting, with black ground in dirt, especially near edges and in corners. The Wi-Fi only worked sporadically. I would be embarrassed to rent this unit to people in its current condition.

Do not under any circumstances rent unit 321....we were there for January and February 2025, our 15th year on Tybee Island, and decided to upgrade our stay to an oceanfront unit....the rental agent was difficult to reach, even though we had rented through her before, and we were very willing to send our deposit to the owner well ahead of time. The price was high, but we were willing to pay it to be on the beach (I have since learned that for off season and long term we ended up paying around $1500 more than we should have). All that being said, in mid-February our kitchen sink backed up, as well as the dishwasher. I notified the manager at once, after my husband tried to solve the problem by resetting the garbage disposal (he's a retired contractor), and she did send a plumber right away. No luck...he returned the next day, said he had located the clog in the unit below us, and said we were good to go. We weren't. I again texted the manager, who said that she wouldn't pay "overtime" for the plumber and railed about the cost of the repair. She offered to move us to another building for the time we had left....by that time I was done. It would have meant packing up, unpacking again, and at our stage of life it was far more than we were willing to do. We left early, after a stint with paper plates, washing pots and pans in the bathroom, which had been slow to drain from the get-go, and a promise from the manager for a small reimbursement for the time we couldn't be there. The stench was almost unbearable, and we endured days of black standing water in the kitchen sink and leaking under the sink. I messaged the manager a week ago, and she has ignored me. I have no choice but to post this review in the hopes that the owner acts appropriately. (By the way, the unit was less than spotless, when we arrived, including a dead palmetto bug in the dust behind the living room credenza.....and there was no vacuum cleaner or mop for me to use...not at all the "luxury accommodations" I had willingly paid for).)

Unit not clean to high standard. Bare bones …1/2 roll of Paper Towels. TP cheap. No extra trash bags. No blender. No Kurig. No condiments or spices of any kind. No extra linen. Very small washer/dryer combo. No place to hang wet towels or bath mat. Minimal amount of pots and pans and wine glasses…2 for a unit that could sleep 6/8 people. Not up to Airbnb standards.
