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 humpback whale in the ocean right in front of our building.

We have two renovated bathrooms. We have made many 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. The dining room has a contemporary table with 8 chairs, measuring 72” with the leaf in, enough for 8 people to eat meals together if they wish.

We have an oven with an above-range microwave, both in stainless steel.
We have contemporary shutters in 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 replaced the floors with porcelain tile and kept the carpets in the bedrooms. We added 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 1/2 mile 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 have even more options.

Guest passes, which are purchased at Marketplace at check-in, are required for all unit renters 4 years old or older. They are to be kept on your person while in the resort. They allow you to use all amenities and to park your car/s. If you purchase more than two guest passes, you can receive two parking passes, one is a reserved space under the building and the second is an unreserved spot in the larger outside lot. The purchase price for the weekly passes this year 2026 are below:
1/1/26-3/31/26: $15, 4/1/26-5/8/26: $20. 5/9/26-6/5/26: $35. 6/6/26-9/11/26: $58. 9/12/26-10/16/26: $35. 10/17/26-3/31/27: $20.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS UNIT DOES NOT REQUIRE OWNERS FEES OR MANAGEMENT FEES. THE ONLY ADDITIONAL FEES FOR THIS UNIT ARE THE VRBO FEES WHICH ARE A PERCENT OF YOUR RENTAL, A CLEANING FEE, and a $59 PROPERTY INSURANCE CHARGE. WE HAVE KEYLESS LOCKS ON THE DOOR.

    It was our first time to Bethany beach and we were lucky to find this property last minute. It pretty much covered everything we were looking for. Clean, very conveniently located right on the beach. No complaints. The owners were very friendly since the booking was confirmed. Highly recommend this property for small families.

    This was our 2nd stay in an oceanfront condo at Sea Colony in Bethany. The 1st time was great, but this time was even better because we were dealing with a responsive owner (Beverly) instead of the mgmt company that handles most Sea Colony rentals. The condo was up to date and nicely furnished. Everything worked. (There were helpful notes posted near certain features, like the one explaining the wall switch for the ceiling fan.) The beds with their new mattresses were especially comfortable. We did have to bring our own towels and bedding (same other weekly beach rentals we’ve done so this was not an issue). There are pillows on the beds, but you may want to bring your own pillows like we did to make sure you have the feel you’re accustomed to. The condo has a small W/D combo which was great for a small load of clothing or a few regular bath towels. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils and basic equipment, plus some basic dry ingredients like salt, pepper and a few other seasonings. There were also consumables like paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent, and other cleaning items. Beverly asks guests to bring these items in case the ones in the condo run out, and we did bring them, but we didn’t need them (we left them for the next guests).The condo has TVs in each BR and the living room, plus stereo and DVD player in the LR. Bring your fave DVDs or watch the classics that are there. I’ve reached the character limit here - would def. stay there again!

    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.

    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.

    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!
