On Feb 14 2009 my wife and I spent the night at the Desoto Beach Hotel with a room viewing the parking lot for $100/night. After check out we strolled to the Beachside Colony and inquired about an ocean view room and was surprised to hear that unit 345 overlooking ocean was avail for $100/night. The room was outstanding and 3x the size of Desoto ...

We stayed in unit 424. We had to ask for face clothes. You are aloted 2 rolls of toliet paper, which are econo sized, no matter how long the stay. The cleaning crew could have done a better job.
After walking around barefooted you had to wash your feet.
The smoke alarm (battery next to it) for hallway was in furnace area.
There was no light ...

My friends and I just returned from renting a 3 bedroom, ocean front unit in the Beach House building. We arrived to find sticky floors, hairs on the bathroom floors, some dirty silverware, no filters for the coffee pot, no washclothes, 4 light bulbs out, a missing smoke detector, the internet connection not working despite calls to the provider ...

Beachside Colony is a worn out former EconoLodge hotel. I doubt it was ever in this poor shape when it still wore the EconoLodge badge. It needs some serious cleaning and maintenance.

Those pools are the smallest I have ever seen for even mom and pop motels. You are not allowed to have any fun at them due to a very grouchy guard.

Surely anyone can find better places than this

Why didn't I see the other comments about unit 435 before renting?? This is the worst condo I have ever seen. Our feet were black minutes after walking around on a floor that must never have been cleaned. There is not one piece of furniture in the place that is in good repair. All the dishes were filthy and had to be washed before being ...

First of all i found the "Pool Thug" Was just doing his job as a pool servicemen and my children had as much fun as a child could have in the pool the only reason that he was ever direct to me was to tell me(very politly) to remove a floatie from the pool and was a saftey percotion. And My Room Was the most beautiful room you could ever ...

Beachside Colony is a wonderful family resort. Yes, you need to be careful about the unit you rent. You may want to see pictures before hand. Since the majority are owner units that can be rented through DIFFERENT rental agencies, you need to check on the units individually. This is the case in most condominium complexes. Typically, it is the ...

This is in response to the person who wrote the review Filthy, disgusting resort and unit on 6-17-08. We rented the same unit the week after you did and I agree with you on everything you said about the actual unit 435. It was disgusting. BUT this was not the fault of the BEACHSIDE COLONY rental agency. This unit was rented from TYBEE BEACH ...

I love the personal touch that the condo we stand in had - each room had a theme. They offered all kinds of amenities, including movies, games, etc. It was like home away from home - but, better - since in was on the beach. Would go again.
