Oceanfront SeaColony Penthouse with Gorgeous Ocean Views!
This spacious contemporary penthouse condo with a vaulted ceiling in the living room is bright, clean, sunny and cheerful with gorgeous ocean views from the living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and the large private balcony. You can relax while overlooking the promenade, the dunes and the wide stretch of beach and ocean. While drinking our coffee in the morning, we watch the playful dolphins below as the sun rises over the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. This year we saw a hump back whale in the ocean right in front of our building.
We now have two newly renovated bathrooms. We have made many new purchases which include two sofas in the living room, one is a queen sleeper. The bed in the master bedroom is a Wyndham Simmons king-size pillow-top mattress. For the dining room we purchased a contemporary table with 8 chairs, measuring 72” with the leaf in, enough for 8 people to eat meals together if they wish.
We also purchased a new range/oven with an above-range microwave, both in stainless steel. We have also purchased contemporary shutters for the primary bedroom windows which almost cover the entire east wall. When opened there is no obstruction of the magnificent ocean views. The ocean sounds will lull you to sleep at night.
We have porcelain tile flooring throughout the living room, dining room, kitchen, both bathrooms and the hallway. Carpets cover the bedroom floors. We recently renovated the living room, dining room and kitchen. We knocked out a few walls in the kitchen to provide a more open feel with greater views of the ocean, beach and dunes. We are replacing the floors with porcelain tile, while keeping the carpets in the bedrooms. We are painting and putting up new cabinets and quartz countertops in the kitchen. We also have replaced the balcony doors and floor to ceiling windows.
The living room and both bedrooms all have flat screen wall-mounted TVs. There is a DVD player in the living room and free WIFI throughout. This condo comes with a covered reserved parking space under the building and one additional parking space is available in the lot if more than 2 guest passes are purchased. Bike racks are located under the building so you can bring your bike or rent one in town.
This condo sleeps 8 in beds; there is a king bed in the primary bedroom and two queens in the second bedroom and a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. We have blackout window treatments in the living room.
We love the wide stretch of private beach for Sea Colony guests only. There are lifeguards on the beach in the summer . Beach chairs and toys are available in the locker in the garage on the main floor or for rent on the beach or you can bring your own. It is much less crowded than the beach in town, and much much less crowded than Rehoboth or Ocean City beaches.
Sea Colony has 24-hour security. A vacation in Sea Colony can run the gamut from beach fun to tax-free shopping to golfing, tennis and water sports. The privacy of the 'quiet resort' allows guests to sunbathe and enjoy the soothing ocean breezes in peace. Amusement parks and outlet shopping centers are not far and they provide more variety of family-friendly fun.
This world-class resort tennis facility offers an astounding 34 courts along with tennis clinics, camps and lessons by teaching professionals. Golf courses nearby include two dozen courses featuring waterfront and forest layouts designed by Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Sea Colony also organizes weekly events such as bingo, camp fires on the beach and other fun family activities.
The town of Bethany is only .5 miles north of Sea Colony, an easy walk to the boardwalk, restaurants, bookstore, and many other specialty shops. The library in town allows summer vacationers to get a card and use their services which include a nice variety of DVDs and books. We enjoy many of the fine restaurants in Bethany and Oceanview, and if you want to go a bit further Fenwick, Rehoboth and Ocean City.

A really nice stay at this Sea Colony condo
My wife, 10 year old and I usually rent a condo at Sea Colony for our week long summer vacation. We're so glad we chose this condo this year. The Owner was very easy to communicate with and the condo is exactly as shown / described in the listing. Its clean, all the appliances work perfectly, the tv, internet, etc. was great and the ocean view was beautiful. We hope to stay again next summer.

Beautiful Condo and Amazing Host
This reservation was for my son, his wife and 2 young children. It was a beautiful condo and ideal for them all. The host was exceptional in that she communicated with me about a month ahead of time with all the details, which I passed on to my son, so we weren't hit with it at the last minute. She was very thoughtful and considerate and it made our vacation stress-free.

Beautiful views
We have stayed at Sea Colony many times but this was our first condo with a view and it was worth the extra $! Views were beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and the condo was exactly as pictured. We had bad weather for part of the week but the condo was so comfortable that our teens did not mind staying in. We would stay again!

Everything from check-in to our last sunrise walk on the pristine beach was perfect. We barely saw a cloud let alone a rain drop. Condo was as advertised!
Wonderful central location, fantastic workout and aquatic facilities, all in a safe and cleanly environment. Condo owner was very helpful and responsive, and her dining suggestions were spot-on! We will definitely return for another visit soon.

Great place to stay
As a family we have been coming to Bethany and Rehoboth for over ten years and never have we had such a positive interaction with a property owner. We received a great welcome packet plus updates on area opportunities for activities, including ones specific to the Sea Colony. The Sea Colony as a whole if fantastic - great beach, great pools and athletic center, and friendly staff. This is our second stay at the Sea Colony and we love the location as well as it being walking distance from the boardwalk and across the street from restaurants. Very convenient! Thank you!

Oceanfront Condo with Gorgeous Views
I recently stayed at this condo with my family, and we had a wonderful week. The condo
is absolutely beautiful, with a cathedral ceiling in the living room, and stunning views of the ocean from the master bedroom, living room, and the top-floor balcony. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we had everything we needed for cooking and dining. The bathrooms are very clean, and all the appliances work flawlessly. The furniture is all high-quality; the mattresses in both bedrooms are very comfortable. We loved relaxing on the top-floor balcony after a day at the beach. The location of the unit is also perfect: on the top floor of the high-rise (it is very convenient when one needs an elevator), just steps from the beach, and the closest within the Sea Colony to the shops, restaurants, and outdoor entertainment on and near the Bethany Beach boardwalk. We had a wonderful vacation week at this condo, and we would definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet place to enjoy a vacation in Bethany Beach.

Sea colony is great but avoid this property
Stayed here recently but cannot recommend. King bed was comfortable but other beds and all other furniture needs to be replaced. Kitchen is tiny. No cleaning supplies were given and then the owner complained about the cleaning when a cleaning fee is already charged. This place was semi remodeled which is strange and cheap. Other places to stay in sea colony are nicer.

The Best of the Beach
We have stayed at Sea Colony several times over the years, this was the first time in Brandywine - which is one of the privately owned condos. It does make a difference being in the same space with mostly owners. It's less crowded on the beach, people are very respectful of the space, and very friendly. The location offers an absolutely amazing view - you would think you were the only space on the beach from the balcony. It's an elevator ride and a few steps to the pool and then the beach.
This particular trip involved a few big events, Father's Day, a high school graduation celebration, and my birthday. We had amazing meals every night out at restaurants, so I didn't use the kitchen as much as I usually do on vacation; however, I did take note of how well appointed the kitchen was. This is not your usual vacation home. You could make and serve amazing and complicated meals with all that was provided. They even had an amazing amount of utensils for the toddler set. The Keurig makes a pot of coffee or a single cup - and that was perfect!
As for sleeping arrangements, I can assure that the sleeper sofa is very comfortable, and a nice spot to watch the sunrise from the floor to ceiling windows in the living room. All of the beds were very comfortable and the giant cozy blankets provided were perfect!
The owner was very responsive and helpful in offering suggestions on places to stay and condo events. Truly the best condo I have been in on a beach vacation.

A nice stay!!
The views were lovely, the beach clean. Being a couple weeks before the summer season officially began meant it was nearly a deserted complex. that means QUIET! The unit we rented was in lovely condition and being on the top floor had the best views. My bed was comfortable and the shower had amazing water pressure. I imagine staying when the pools are open would be a completely different experience. Sea Colony has a lot of rules, which are understandable, but limiting. Bethany beach is a lovely and quiet community. The boardwalk and shopping district are a short walk away which was nice.
Beverly was very communicative and available to answer any questions that arose. All in all it was a lovely getaway.
