About this property

Sea Colony, Walk to Beach & Tennis--Beautiful, Sparkling Clean Getaway!

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 first-floor 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 (in season) 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 cable TV and a beautiful deck on Sea Colony's Swan Pond make relaxing or working remotely a breeze!

BRING YOUR OWN LINENS (bed, bath & beach + sheets and towels), 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 (2025: $15 from January 1-May 2; $25 from May 3-June 6; $55 from June 7-September 12; $25 from September 13-September 19; $15 from September 20-March 31, 2026; 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. We live just a mile away so we're nearby if our guests need anything. Read our reviews!

One more thing: During the off-season, we're flexible about check-in and check-out times. :)

Great location

We loved the convenience of the location of this property. We were walking distance to the beach and the marketplace- even moving at kid pace. There was pool about a block away and the tennis center was right across the street. The property was spacious and clean and had everything we needed for the week.

Spring Weekend Getaway

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.

Great Place, Great Location and Great Community

My family had a wonderful time at Sea Colony. The place was very nice with great proximity to Tennis, pools, shopping and the beach. Nice people, great service and top notch resort tennis. I did clinics every morning and the instructors made it fun. Sea Colony's tennis facility was beautiful. My family enjoyed the Pickleball challenge courts in the mornings as well. We will be going back to Sea Colony which is now one of my favorite places.

Excellent place to 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!

Property is very lovely, clean and well equipped kitchen. It was further to the beach as your advertising indicated. Beach was very nice, but thanks to the host, I learned that we have to drive there.When it was a problem with AC your agents kept me on line for a long time and didn’t have any solution except calling the owner, who was out of the country. Fortunately the owner contacted a person overlooking the property and everything was repaired at the end of the day. Nevertheless, the night at 80F at home and thd entire day was lost!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne McAndrews

Host profile image
My husband, Tom, and I raised our two children in Bucks County, PA, and vacationed every summer at Sea Colony. After renting for years, we finally bought this place in 2010--and it was our year-round getaway until we retired, when we built a home about a mile away. It's easy for us to manage the property personally rather than relying on others. We're delighted when couples and families enjoy it as much as our family did!

Why they chose this property

We've been coming to Bethany Beach for a long time--me, since I was a child, and Tom, since he met me! Since we bought this place in 2010, we've spent just about every weekend at Sea Colony, year round. In fact, we love it so much that, when we retired, we decided to move here. Bethany Beach has changed a lot over the years, but for us it's still just the right combination of outdoor activities, social life, and quiet time. We hope you love our place as much as we do (and take care of it as if it were your own).

What makes this property unique

Sea Colony is a fabulous community--wonderful for couples and families. (Check out seacolony.com for more info.) The landscaping and amenities are meticulously maintained and enhanced every year. This unit is close to two of our favorites: tennis and the beach. But, it was the view of the Swan Pond and the sound of the fountain from the deck that convinced us to buy it. Several years later, we completely renovated, adding EVERYTHING that we put on our wish list---beautiful floors, luxurious walk-in showers, new appliances, a beverage center, and a huge TV!
