Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### patricia (pat) s. 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bethany beach getaway Had some Issues accessing the condo (re: door lock); however, the owner was great. Got Everything to a manageable situation and it did not hinder us from having a great time. The condo is roomy - 2 full bathrooms is a great plus and the washer/dryer! For families - close to outdoor pool and beach and full size refrig enables opportunity to cook - if needed/wanted. While there’s a shuttle that runs to/from town area, it’s a nice walk! My only complaint is the town - parked and put $ in meters but dinner at restaurant ran over and i ended up 14 minutes over meter time - the penalty - $50!!! So excessive - i tried to appeal, but they never considered - i get a fine - but $50 is over the top - bethany beach - get over yourself - a nice vacation place - but not hawaii, bermuda, etc. and a great way to discourage additional shopping in the area. ##### patricia (pat) s.

Very save and the condo was wonderful. We differently would stay here again! It was perfect for a family of 4 (with 2 Teen girls). Thank you for the wonderful stay! ##### Stefanie H.

This condo was perfect for our family of four. An easy walk to pools and beach on the less-busy end of Sea Colony. Only hiccup was cleaning crew was still in condo when it was time to check in so we got in 45 min late. But clean, well equipped, good beds and sofas, well taken care of. One tip: was glad I didn’t stay here last year when my kids were younger because all the tables were glass tops. Would not stay here with kids under 2 who don’t yet heed “be careful!” or “don’t touch that!” But with kids 3 and up it was great. Would definitely stay again! ##### Abby H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Tarah K. 22 Aug 2021 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice stay with a few quirks... This was our first time staying at Sea Colony and it was a pleasant week overall. It was exactly what was advertised. Pros 1\. Master Bed comfortable 2\. Recent kitchen & bathroom renovations 3\. New & comfortable living room couch & chairs 4\. Quick walk to the pool/beach Cons 1\. Access - Needs a keyless entry pad. Carrying a set of keys around all week was nerve-wracking when spending the day on the beach. 2\. Very cluttered - The kitchen, decor/trinkets, and unused/broken electronics need to be purged. (DVD player and VCR in Master were unusable with a note saying to use the one in the family room. There is also personal desktop computer in the Master that makes the room feel like you're staying at your parents’ house.) The closets were so crammed full of sand toys, chairs, blankets, etc. that it was difficult to close the doors without things falling out. 3\. Kitchen - Many duplicate appliances (4 toasters among others) took up so much space that we couldn't store any of our dry goods in the cabinets and had to keep them out on the counter our entire trip. 4\. Bunk Bed - This bed either needs to be replaced or tightened. It made a tremendous amount of noise and swayed anytime someone was on it. We didn't feel it was unsafe, but it certainly wasn't comfortable. 5\. Window Treatments - Some of the vertical blinds in the front bedroom were missing. The sliding door to the balcony needs replaced as well. Pros of Sea Colony: 1\. Walkable to the Bethany Beach boardwalk/shops/restaurants 2\. Beach isn't overly crowded (we went mid-August) 3\. Sea Colony has multiple high-rise buildings with easy access to multiple pools. There are also family-friendly activities like Bingo, beach bonfires and movies held throughout the week. Some things are an additional cost like beach yoga. Cons of Sea Colony 1\. The high-rise we stayed in was an older/dated building 2\. The "Resort Fee" per person for anyone over 4 y/o should be changed. Perhaps there could be different rates for adults and kids or offer a family pass. ##### Tarah K.

The cleaning company didn't show up until 4 and took until nearly 445 to be finished "cleaning". Check in is not as advertised...cleaning needs to be done prior to check in. After "cleaning" the property was still pretty filthy. Cereal was left everywhere on the floor, food was left in the refrigerator and the refrigerator was left with crusty food residue on the inside, and the countertops were sticky. We needed to re vacuum and re clean pretty much the whole condo. Not a good start to vacation. Then we realize the kitchen sink is backing up because the garage disposal isn't working. We tried calling, texting, emailing, VRBO messaging the owner and received no response. It took days for a response and for the owner to get a plumber out to fix it, all the while we were washing dishes in the bathroom. Again, not a great way to be vacationing. We have been vacationing in sea colony for 7 years now and this was by far the worst experience due to poor check in, extremely poor cleanliness, and poor responsiveness from the owner. While the unit is still a short walk to the beach and pools, which is great, I think it is worth considering renting elsewhere for the next stay considering the abundance of options available at sea colony. ##### Mike I.

The location was great. Just a heads up if you have toddlers there are lots of Knick knacks around. It’s close to the beach and the pool and the amenities were great and Bill was very nice! ##### Lori G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise C. 22 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay at Sea Colony This condo is in an ideal location: easy walk to pool, beach, and town! Aside from a slight delay in entering (the check in info said 2pm, but the cleaning people, none of whom had masks on until they saw us, thought our check in was 3pm), we liked the condo a lot and would definitely stay there again. One other small issue: the sliding door and screen are truly a pain to open and close, the screen kept falling off, and the door seems rusted into an unlock position! Seriously needs replacing! Otherwise, it was great , ##### Denise C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ---
