Awesome stay!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was as advertised including ease of access to the beach and pools. Bedrooms felt generous for a two bedroom condo, and lots of places for people to sleep.

Perfect family stay

This apartment is the perfect size for a family or some friends. It is clean, a close walk to the beach/pool and has everything you would need for a stay. Remember to bring your own sheets and towels…and sweatshirts haha (it gets so cold at night).

We had a really outstanding visit, even considering some weather restrictions! Our host was amazing at offering herself even via text, to help us navigate the area. The home was very well stocked and clean. The kiddos, ages 5 and 9yo all had things to help occupy too! We would certainly come back to this location. Beach and Pool a short walk.

Great family vacation

We had a great stay at this unit. The communication was outstanding throughout the booking process and our stay. There was plenty of room and well stocked with kitchen needs. There were also many games and puzzles that were a huge hit during the rainy day when we couldn’t go to the beach. Overall a great family vacation! Would rent this unit again.

Comfy and convenient

The condo was perfect for our family of four. The mattresses were firm and the knives were sharp. We enjoyed the selection of puzzles and games. It was nice not having to pack beach chairs, since the condo came with a locker that was stocked with chairs and sand toys.

This was one of the cleanest vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. It was absolutely pristine—even the couches and chairs had fresh vacuum lines when we arrived.The condo was stocked with everything we could possibly need and more than the listing even mentioned: laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher pods, beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys, and so many thoughtful extras.The little details really made the difference. The bedrooms had ceiling fans, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and lunch, and there were plenty of towel hooks, bedside charging ports, luggage racks, and a great organizer in the primary bedroom. The rocking chair in the second bedroom became our nightly spot for reading with our three-year-old.The condo was beautifully decorated and felt like a home, with cozy blankets, books, games, and puzzles. The Wi-Fi was fast, the assigned parking space was convenient, and access to both the beach and pools was easy.It’s obvious the owners have put a lot of thought into making guests comfortable. This is one of the most thoughtfully stocked and well-maintained rentals we’ve stayed in, and we’d absolutely stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and could not be more pleased with our experience from start to finish. The host was incredibly easy to work with, very responsive, and went above and beyond to accommodate any requests we had before and during our stay.The condo itself was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. It was evident that a great deal of care has gone into making guests feel welcome. From the fully equipped kitchen to the extra amenities and supplies, nothing was overlooked.The location was perfect, and the condo felt like a home away from home. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, making our trip stress-free and enjoyable.We truly appreciated the hospitality and attention to detail. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.Thank you for helping make our vacation so memorable!

Great Stay at Sea Colony

We were very satisfied with our stay here! Check in was easy, the condo is nicely updated and clean with everything in working order. We were also pleasantly surprised by all the amenities included, as the owner supplied umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels, hand and dishwashing soap, cleaning supplies, vacuum, etc. My kids are little and Sea Colony/Bethany Beach is perfect for them! We had a great vacation!

Bethany beach getaway

Had some Issues accessing the condo (re: door lock); however, the owner was great. Got Everything to a manageable situation and it did not hinder us from having a great time. The condo is roomy - 2 full bathrooms is a great plus and the washer/dryer! For families - close to outdoor pool and beach and full size refrig enables opportunity to cook - if needed/wanted. While there’s a shuttle that runs to/from town area, it’s a nice walk! My only complaint is the town - parked and put $ in meters but dinner at restaurant ran over and i ended up 14 minutes over meter time - the penalty - $50!!! So excessive - i tried to appeal, but they never considered - i get a fine - but $50 is over the top - bethany beach - get over yourself - a nice vacation place - but not hawaii, bermuda, etc. and a great way to discourage additional shopping in the area.

There was enough room in this unit for our 4 boys not too be on top of each other (ranging from age 6-12). We were close to this pool beach and less than a mile walk to downtown Bethany. Sea colony is a great place with many pools and the beach super close. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

We Love Sea Colony and our stay was perfect

We loved this condo it was wonderful to be right on the beach where you could go in for lunch my kids loved the fact they could go to the pool and play corn hole as well as go back to the condo for lunch by themselves without us parents being with them. Very save and the condo was wonderful. We differently would stay here again! It was perfect for a family of 4 (with 2 Teen girls). Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Fantastic!

This condo was perfect for our family of four. An easy walk to pools and beach on the less-busy end of Sea Colony. Only hiccup was cleaning crew was still in condo when it was time to check in so we got in 45 min late. But clean, well equipped, good beds and sofas, well taken care of. One tip: was glad I didn’t stay here last year when my kids were younger because all the tables were glass tops. Would not stay here with kids under 2 who don’t yet heed “be careful!” or “don’t touch that!” But with kids 3 and up it was great. Would definitely stay again!

Nice stay with a few quirks...

This was our first time staying at Sea Colony and it was a pleasant week overall. It was exactly what was advertised. Pros 1. Master Bed comfortable 2. Recent kitchen & bathroom renovations 3. New & comfortable living room couch & chairs 4. Quick walk to the pool/beach Cons 1. Access - Needs a keyless entry pad. Carrying a set of keys around all week was nerve-wracking when spending the day on the beach. 2. Very cluttered - The kitchen, decor/trinkets, and unused/broken electronics need to be purged. (DVD player and VCR in Master were unusable with a note saying to use the one in the family room. There is also personal desktop computer in the Master that makes the room feel like you're staying at your parents’ house.) The closets were so crammed full of sand toys, chairs, blankets, etc. that it was difficult to close the doors without things falling out. 3. Kitchen - Many duplicate appliances (4 toasters among others) took up so much space that we couldn't store any of our dry goods in the cabinets and had to keep them out on the counter our entire trip. 4. Bunk Bed - This bed either needs to be replaced or tightened. It made a tremendous amount of noise and swayed anytime someone was on it. We didn't feel it was unsafe, but it certainly wasn't comfortable. 5. Window Treatments - Some of the vertical blinds in the front bedroom were missing. The sliding door to the balcony needs replaced as well. Pros of Sea Colony: 1. Walkable to the Bethany Beach boardwalk/shops/restaurants 2. Beach isn't overly crowded (we went mid-August) 3. Sea Colony has multiple high-rise buildings with easy access to multiple pools. There are also family-friendly activities like Bingo, beach bonfires and movies held throughout the week. Some things are an additional cost like beach yoga. Cons of Sea Colony 1. The high-rise we stayed in was an older/dated building 2. The "Resort Fee" per person for anyone over 4 y/o should be changed. Perhaps there could be different rates for adults and kids or offer a family pass.
