Happily Recommend Lazing Away
Submitted: March 22, 2013
Stayed: February 2013
From first contact with the owner, to locking the doors as we left, we enjoyed everything about our time at Lazing Away. The convenience of being able to walk to the grocery store (about a mile) and into Christiansted (less than 2 miles) made staying at Colony Cove a great location. We did rent a car (Central Car Rental) for 11 days out of the month to travel to other parts of the island, but walking the beach by the condo was great exercise and we were content to walk to town occasionally (enjoyed lunch at Low Life's on the boardwalk several times.) Others at the condo unit were very friendly and the pool is a gathering spot. It was hard for us to leave the balcony though. It truly does have a picturesque view and you can't get enough of it. The way its situated allowed for a gentle breeze although we closed the doors on 3 days because of high winds, the rest of the time the doors and windows were open. The furnishings and decor are nicely done. The master bed was quite comfortable. Snorkeling was fun there, once you get past the grassy areas you come to areas full of fish and conch. Even a manta ray. We enjoyed the snorkeling and beach walking a lot. I only gave the condo 4 stars instead of 5 because there were some loose tiles on the floors and some rust around the shower base and refridgerator front, but in being there you realize its beach living, The internet was slow, at times worse than others, but we were able to Skype while there and 4G cell service worked good. The sea planes do fly over daily which makes for some great picture taking. And you occasionally may lose power but they have a generator that kicks on (its a little noisy).The grounds are kept up and the crew is friendly. Mongoose run and play below you as you watch from the balcony. All in all, I would happily recommend Lazing Away, you will truly enjoy waking up to that view every day and it is one of the best units in the complex. We liked it so much we're contemplating purchasing a unit there. Looking forward to being back in St. Croix.
