Sea Colony, Walk to Beach & Tennis--Beautiful Getaway, Perfect for Workcations!
About this apartment rental
Enjoy the beach and everything it has to offer from our lovely Sea Colony condo. Rented only recently, it was our private getaway for years. After upgrading both baths, kitchen, floors, and HVAC, we decided to move to Delaware and retire in a larger home in the area. That means our beautiful place is yours to enjoy: Sleeps 4-6 in two bedrooms (primary bedroom with queen bed and en suite bathroom, second bedroom with twin beds) plus a queen sleeper sofa, new walk-in tiled showers with glass doors (no bathtub), dishwasher, cooktop, microwave/convection oven, and a large private deck overlooking Sea Colony's Swan Pond. Freshly painted in 2024. Sea Colony's world-class tennis center (over 30 indoor/outdoor courts including dedicated pickleball courts) is across the street. Walk to 12 pools, playgrounds, Fitness Center (basketball, indoor lap pool, machines, fitness classes) and Sea Colony's private half-mile beach. Or take the shuttle to the beach. Enjoy biking, walking trails, and fishing. At night, there are great sunsets and a variety of local restaurants, mini golf, and ice cream shops. Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, MD, are close by. Or, stay in, watch the 55-inch TV and relax on the deck. The location provides a quiet retreat, while being close and convenient to the action. We’re on the ground level of a two-story building. The fully-equipped kitchen features granite countertops and a deluxe beverage center that was installed where the conventional oven used to be. There are plenty of options for cooking: large microwave/convection oven, oversized toaster/broiler, or cooktop. Coffeemaker is a Keurig. Reliable Comcast internet and a beautiful deck on Sea Colony's Swan Pond make relaxing or working remotely a breeze! Be sure to bring linens (bed and beach), beach chairs, and bikes. Or, let us know and we'll recommend local providers. All guests over four years old must purchase a weekly Sea Colony recreation badge (2024: $15 from January 1-May 3; $25 from May 4-June 7; $55 from June 8-September 13; $25 from September 14-September 20; $15 from September 21-March 31, 2025; or whatever rates are in effect). A parking pass is included. Keyless, no-contact entry. We clean and disinfect all high-touch surfaces after each guest. What's special about our place? Early check-in (12:30 pm) gives you extra vacation time; luxurious walk-in showers (both are tiled with glass doors); the Swan Pond view from our large deck; plus it's sparkling clean with comfortable beds. Read our reviews! One more thing: During the off-season, we're flexible about check-in and check-out times. :)

This is our third year staying at this property. Lovely, beautifully decorated condo in Sea Colony. Love the big TV and sitting on deck and listening to the fountain on pond you can see from deck. Very comfortable queen size mattress. Walking distance to pools, beach, restaurants. And it’s so peaceful! The owner is very accommodating and nice!

Description was accurate. Enjoyed having access to the various sea colony amenities (although at an additional cost per guest upon check in). Otherwise, this is a fantastic location and we enjoyed our stay overall.

Great location and nicely updated. Easy to get to the beach, the pools, tennis and dining ( and ice cream!)
Deck overlooking the pond with fountain in the center was nice. Bathrooms and kitchen are updated and everything was in working order. A/C was on and we needed it with some very humid days.
We have stayed at a lot of condos in Sea Colony and this was a very nice one.

Clean and cozy! We specifically chose this place because it's managed by the owners and boy, so glad we did! The owners responded immediately with any questions we had leading up to our trip and while we were there! The place is conveniently located, well equipped and clean!
We really enjoyed the deck! Plenty of wildlife to observe and the little lake made it extra special! The short walk to the beach is pleasant or it's easy to catch one of the trams that run through Sea Colony. Would definitely stay again!

We were excited to get away for a long weekend in Bethany, The owner, Suzanne was really a pleasure to work with. We originally booked for fall of 2022 but a hurricane was coming so Suzanne advised us to cancek and rebook for a spring weekend.
Checking in was a breeze and the condo had what we needed for a family of 3.
The area inside of Sea Colony is extremely walkable and nice to look at. A few restaurants, a pizza shop and an ice cream shop were all just a few minute walk away. Pretty much within the confines of Sea Colony.
We did an off-season weekend, so a lot of things were not open yet, like the many outdoor pools scattered throughout Sea Colony, and some parts of the larger gym facility. We also did quite have beach weather, but for someone renting in season, the amenities and parking at the beach look like they would be awesome.
It was a somewhat short drive up to Rehoboth where we spent a few hours and had an amazing dinner at Salt Air.
The negative part of the stay was the cleanliness of the condo. The master shower was very dirty and so were the floors, which we found out because we were crawling around with our 1 year old a lot.
No other complaints at all. The neighbors were very nice and parking/unloading was a piece of cake.
Would give absolute 5 stars if the place was cleaner.

Had a great stay. My wife and I enjoyed our long weekend and even in May some of the pools were opened. We biked on the various paths and enjoyed breakfast on the back porch. The pond with the sound of the fountain was enjoyable. All the rooms were delightful. Thank you Suzanne for the wonderful stay.

We had an amazing time! The condo was clean and well-kept. Everything worked, appliances were modern and in great condition. Decor is nice beach rental style. Beds were comfortable and perfect for our family of 4. Sea Colony was awesome for the off-season for the pool access when it was too cold for the beach. The owners put together a binder with excellent recommendations for the area - way better than anything I found online. We would stay again without hesitation. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with one exception. I was told in advance that we needed to purchase a $25 parking pass, which we had never been required to do for two previously stays in Sea Colony in 2019 and 2020. However we had no problem paying $25 for a parking pass. However when I went to acquire the $25 pass the woman asked me how many people were staying in the house I said two and she then charged me $100 for a slip of paper to place on my dashboard as a parking pass and two badges that she insisted were required to stay in Sea Colony. We are two elderly women who did absolutely nothing in Sea colony but take walks - no tennis, no beach access, etc. We never once used our $50 badges and we most definitely should have been made aware of this outrageous charge in advance. To make matters worse we noticed the few cars parked in Round Robin did not have parking passes. We asked one person parked next to us about this and he said no parking passes are required after Labot Day!!

My husband and I with our two tweens thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our first trip to Bethany Beach and we are confident we have found our new yearly summer beach getaway. Bethany is quaint and pristine! This condo was very well equiped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner is extremely organized and made sure we had everything we needed for our trip. The condo had ample space for our family of four, and the large deck was an added bonus. The location is fantastic. The boardwalk is about a 1.2-mile walk when utilizing the beach. Sea Colony marketplace is less than a 5-minute walk, and the private Sea Colony beach is a 10-minute walk. There are busses and open-air trams to take you around Sea Colony if you don't feel like walking. Sea Colony has plenty to do, and is in a convenient location for exploring Bethany, or other nearby towns. The grounds are well kept and clean. We had a great stay, thank you!

We stayed for 3 nights, and everything was perfect! The condo is clean, updated and comfortable. The hosts make you feel welcome immediately, by providing bottled water, allowing a late checkout, having flowers on the deck, and inviting you to set the temperature as you would at home.
Everything was delightful!

Mini girls weekend
Stayed in Suzanne’s beach condo for 2 nights of MDW.. wish we could have been there longer! 15 min walk to the beach/ shops, so location was great. The big deck was great for the afternoon storm. We could only get 2 parking passes but needed 3, so had to buy one from town, but it was an easy process. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The owner was very helpful. The location was an easy walk or short drive to the beach and right by the tennis courts (bring tennis shoes if you want to play there!). Plenty of parking off season. We would return!

Anniversary getaway
We had planned on coming to Bethany last summer, then COVID-19 hit and plans changed. So when our Anniversary came around this year we decided to come. It was our first time here and we loved it. We were very pleased that a lot of places were open in November. And our rental at Sea Colony was perfect and the host was great to work with. It was a wonderful getaway!

Very relaxing setting with the fountain outside and offseason traffic.
