About this property

Sea Colony - Oceanfront Chesapeake House

Welcome to lovely Bethany Beach, known as “the quiet resort.” Sea Colony is only a 15-minute walk from the Bethany boardwalk and shops. It’s a family-friendly resort, offering multiple pools, 2 fitness centers, several tennis courts, a kiddie camp, and so much more.

Enjoy the fabulous oceanfront view from our condo. The living room has a glass wall facing the ocean with a sliding glass door that opens onto the balcony, overlooking the promenade and beach. Watch the dolphins playing in the water or children flying kites on the beach from the living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom, which also has a sliding glass door opening onto the balcony. Have your morning coffee and breakfast on the balcony as you watch the sunrise. This is a glorious getaway vacation spot!

While there is frequently a strong breeze coming off the ocean and pulling through the condo, there are ceiling fans in every room if you want more air circulation. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and its own full bathroom. A large window and a sliding glass door open onto the balcony on the ocean side from this room.

The second bedroom faces the bay side and has 2 twin beds, a TV, and a large closet. This room will get the glow of the setting sun at the end of the day. The second bathroom has a shower stall and is in the hall just outside this bedroom.

Having company? The brand new sofa pulls out into a queen-sized sleeper.

We have spent this past winter upgrading our beach home. We have replaced all of the carpet throughout the condo with new berber carpet; we've removed wallpaper and put a fresh coat of paint on the ceilings, walls, and doors; we replaced the sleep sofa; we've upgraded the bathroom fixtures and recaulked; and we've topped it all off with a thorough deep clean throughout.

There is a fully equipped kitchen, which makes meal preparation a snap. The kitchen was completely updated just a few years ago, and the dishwasher was replaced just this year. There’s a washer and dryer in the kitchen for your use as well.

While many units only have one assigned parking space, our condo has 2 assigned parking spaces – one under the building and one right out front. Sea Colony security patrols the grounds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We also provide 4 beach chairs for your use in a closet right outside the front door of the condo. In addition, you can rent umbrellas and more beach chairs right on the beach. The Sea Colony beach has its own private, clean, guarded beach. From our condo, just walk past the pool on the promenade level and out onto the sand!

NOTE: Sea Colony requires that all guests purchase and wear badges. The badges are $40 per person for everyone 4 years of age and up. The badges get you access to everything on Sea Colony property. When you purchase your badges, you'll also get a parking pass.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us!

Great oceanfront stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo! Very friendly and communicative owners. Nice location; Sea Colony is fantastic! Only thing I would improve was some of the cleanliness (i.e. dust on air returns/ceiling fans) which is something that is a quick fix.

Wonderful

The condo was accommodating and very well stocked. Was so happy to see trash bags in the pantry as that was the one thing I forgot to pack. The owners also allowed us the use of their beach chairs - very convenient as we didn't have to bring our own and it saved us money by not having to rent them. My husband and I had a great long weekend away from kids, cats, dogs, cooking, and cleaning!

Beautiful view and a great time at Sea Colony!

My spouse and I spent a week with our two kids in this wonderful apartment at Sea Colony. We woke up every morning to a view of the sunrise over the ocean from our bedroom window and got to spend each day at the beach and the pool -- all just steps away! Plus the town of Bethany was a very short drive away. The condo owner was extremely responsive and very easy to work with whenever we had any questions, and the unit itself was great for our needs. The kids loved their room with its two sets of bunk beds and we all enjoyed hanging out on the balcony. Plus there was a closet full of beach chairs and toys we could use. A wonderful week at the beach! Could not recommend this rental highly enough!

Wonderful Ocean Front at Sea Colony in Bethany Beach

This was a lovely place to stay!! Came for a spring vacation and found a very clean and nice property. I had everything I needed and I really liked the feel of this condo. Looks like new carpet and perhaps other items are recent here. The owners were most helpful and accomodating and gave me lots of information about Sea Colony and Bethany Beach. The ocean view from the balcony is 180 degrees and it was a wonderful view! I will come back to Sea Colony and I will come back to this lovely condo soon!!! Highly recommend this for a vacation rental.

Wonderful location in a wonderful complex

We found Sea Colony to be the best beach setup we had ever experienced. The distance to the beach was great, the location of this particular unit was convenient, and even the external storage closet made life easier so we weren't tracking sand all over the unit. It was great to have chairs and boards included, as this also saved us tons of room in our overstuffed car. This was one of those "they thought of everything" places. Would highly recommend. The lack of sheets was a bit of a pain and I wish the vacuum had worked better, but these are super minor details that would not hold me back from renting here again!

First time at Sea Colony

Dealing with owners was great. They answered all our questions and their condo was well appointed. The view was incredible. Our issue was with Sea Colony. Many pools were closed and the pool near the condo closed without warning two full days. The passes should have been discounted to the off season rate. I understand they had staff shortages.

Wonderful space for a family to spend the 4th of July

My family had a wonderful experience at this property. The condo itself was perfect and well appointed, my daughter loved the bunk beds and my husband and I thought the king bed was incredibly comfortable. Sea Colony is so great with convenient amenities, and it was so easy taking our 5 year old to both the pool and beach in one day. The hosts were so kind and provided us with restaurant recommendations and an adorable gift of snacks in a sand bucket that our child loved. Also, you really cannot beat the views. We loved seeing the ocean every day and watched the fireworks from the balcony while our daughter slept. If you are looking for a relaxing and fun time with your family, this spot can’t be beat!

July vacation during COVID

We had a great time staying in this condo. The storage closet was filled with comfy Tommy Bahama chairs and had 2 boogie boards. Waves were great so the boogie boards came in handy. Nice new high table in dining room for eating meals. Closet had many supplies on hand including all cleaning supplies. Great view of beach, ocean and pretty sunsets. :)

What makes this property unique

We come to our beach home frequently throughout the year. We love the fact that our condo is on the second floor, making it quick and easy to get to the pool and the beach. We typically take the stairs down one flight rather than waiting for the elevator.

There is a large patio right below our balcony, so our kids often jump rope here or play with a beach ball. We can sit on the balcony and watch them play.

There is also a large field just beyond the patio. Sometimes several parents and kids will take a baseball and mitts to the field for a game of catch. There's plenty of room to run around on this field, which other units may not even know about!

We love the ease of walking everywhere! We can walk over to the small grocery store in the Edgewater building from our condo, we can walk across the street to the CVS store, and we frequently walk to downtown Bethany to stroll the boardwalk or visit the shops. We don't have to worry about finding a place to park because it's only a 15-minute walk from our condo to the boardwalk.

When we are inside, we are always comfortable because we installed ceiling fans in every room, so we can take full advantage of the fresh ocean air. On those rare occasions when there is little ocean breeze, having the ceiling fans keeps the fresh air circulating.
