Sea Colony is a unique gated oceanside community located in the Hammock area of Flagler County, just north of the upscale Hammock Dunes, Ocean Hammock, Hammock Beach developments. Unlike its luxury neighbors to the south, Sea Colony is a quiet, laid back community of smaller homes, most less than 2,000 square feet. It offers a lovely beach, a community clubhouse and pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Several small lakes offer great views, privacy, and fishing. Biking trails and county parks are close by. Described best as a quiet retreat, Sea Colony is situated just 15 minutes from St. Augustine near Palm Coast.

What makes Sea Colony particularly attractive is the value. 2006 and 2007 sales of non-oceanfront homes have typically been for less than $400K. The community is well landscaped and the homes well maintained. All sites are within walking distance to the beach.
