About this property

Sea Colony, Walk to Beach & Tennis--Beautiful Getaway, Perfect for Workcations!

THINKING OF A DELAWARE VACATION IN 2025? BOOK BY DECEMBER 31, 2024, AND AVOID THE NEW 4.5% STATE TAX ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS!

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 a beautiful deck on Sea Colony's Swan Pond make relaxing or working remotely a breeze!

Be sure to bring 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 (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. 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. :)

Excellent Property

Outstanding accommodations - best maintained and equipped house we have stayed in over 15 years at Sea Colony. Slip-up in communications with VRBO resulted in us not knowing combination for access to house and also that bed linens/towels were needed. But that turned out to be a minor detail as the house was excellent.

Another great Sea Colony Visit

This is our 4th time staying at this property. We love it! It’s conveniently located to the beach and Sea Colony marketplace as well as several pools. We scootered and rollerbladed to the beach and walked to the T1 pool. We’ll definitely be staying at this property again. The condo has everything you’d need for a week at the beach and the back porch is great to have your morning coffee or relaxing in the evenings. Suzanne is a great host and is wonderful with keeping us up to date with pertinent information regarding our stay.

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.

wonderful again

Another great stay at Sea Colony. We walked to the beach, tennis, pool(s), and ice cream. The k-cup machine died the first day of our stay and property manager was able to replace it with a new unit in a couple of hours. This unit has a nice deck with a view over the pond and main walking path to the restaurants and beach. All appliances are functional. Everything is spotlessly clean. We were returning visitors to the this unit and will be again in the future.

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!
