As a guest of Sea Colony, enjoy the aquatic center, fitness center, tennis center, playground, walking paths, and one-half mile of guarded, private beach.

Enjoy the beach, splash in one of the 12 pools, play tennis on one of the 32 tennis courts, or just chill out with a cocktail on the wraparound porch.

We have a pack and play and umbrella stroller for your use so you don't have to lug them on your trip. All guests at Sea Colony are required to pay a Recreational Association fee (check the Sea Colony website for current rates).

Perfect for a young family

We had a great time in Bethany! The house was perfect for a family of four - loved that we could put our little kids in their own rooms at night and be able to use the living space without waking them. It was easy to get to the beach both by tram and driving our own car. The neighborhood splash pad and pool were also awesome for the kids. We'll be back for sure!

Best family vacation spot!

We had a fantastic trip to Tom’s beach property. It’s located in Sea Colony which offers so many great amenities. The kids loved taking the tram to the beach and using all the pools in the property including the big slash pad at the aquatic center. The condo was great for us. We really enjoyed having a big screened in deck. Kitchen was nicely equipped. Bathrooms were a good size. Two bath tubs for bathing the little ones. We will definitely book here next summer!

A Perfect Weekend Get-a-way

My husband and I spent the weekend with our two active teenage boys. The condo was nicely decorated with two bathrooms, a loft and a great porch. The kitchen was well equipped and the owner included great information about local dining and activities in the area. Tennis courts, swimming pools and the beach are within walking distance. The owner were very responsive, flexible and great to deal with. I would rent the place again and i am very picky about where my family stays.....

Nice clean unit and great owner

Our family stayed here over the 4th of July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was very clean, fully stocked with everything we needed and the owner was super responsive. Plenty of room in the unit including a lot of space in the upstairs loft where our three children preferred to sleep. The screened in porch was very spacious and we utilized it thoroughout our trip. We rented bikes including one tag-along beach gear carrier to lug everything back and forth to the beach, which I would recommend. You can walk to the beach from here, but biking made it more enjoyable for us. Thanks Tom!

Quick Trip

Great stay however, i did not see where we needed to supply: hand towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, sink soap. Also lighting was terrible. At night not enough lights. One light living room and one small light in dining room. The carpet needed to be cleaned.

A wonderful place to stay..........very relaxing week!

We loved this condo and it was a perfect set-up for our family. My parents rented this place for my sister and her husband and toddler son and for my husband and myself. We stayed upstairs in the very comfortable loft and my sister's family had two bedrooms downstairs. All of the beds were great! We appreciated the updated and well stocked kitchen as we did do a lot of our own cooking for the week. The living room area with the tall ceilings was very spacious and the screened in porch was a great spot for relaxing and reading. The location worked well for us, between the large tennis facility and the beautiful new fitness center, both of which we used every day. We took advantage of the group exercise classes offered during the week. We were glad that this unit had some beach chairs which was great because we did not have room to pack our own chairs. Overall, we had a wonderful week and were happy that hurricane Florence had very little effect on our area. We look forward to returning to Sea Colony at the same time next year.

Loved everything about it! The decor was tasteful and calming. Location couldn’t be better.

The location is perfect. I love the natural setting with so many trees and set back from the main road. A quick walk to the shuttle, pool and tennis courts made it a very convenient spot. The screened porch is so nice and big. Kitchen is well equipped. Beds are comfortable. Ceiling fans are a plus. I’d love to live there year round!

Wonderful place to relax

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and spacious condo. We have two young children and this place provided us with everything we needed and more. Very modern and clean. Sea Colony passes allowed us to enjoy several pools right on the beach. Property owner, Tom was very responsive to all of our questions. "Welcome Book" was very helpful! Thank you Tom and your family for sharing your vacation home with us! We will definitely be back. Kyler Family.

LOVELY CONDO AMONG THE TREES!

We loved the setting of the Southwinds rental, when we opened the blinds every window had beautiful trees to view. Parking was conveniently close to the condo and the wrap around porch was a nice feature. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. In the bedrooms, there was plently of closet space to store our luggage and personal items and the beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were well appointed with plently of hot water for a great shower. The loft space is a true third bedroom with closet, desk, and a comfortable chair for reading. Overall the condo is spacious, comfortable , and beautifully decorated. Tom, our host was available before, during, and after our stay. Tom has a wonderful sense of humor and is easy to communicate with. We would recommend this rental to anyone who enjoys nature, the beach, and is looking for a pleasant place to stay. Looking forward to returning to Bethany Beach in the future, thanks Tom for being an excellent host! Jelena from PA

Great stay! Great host!

We had a great time at Tom's condo. He was very helpful and responsive the entire time before, during and after the stay. The condo was even nicer than the photos showed, and it had everything we needed for a wonderful time. There were plenty of beach toys and boogie boards to borrow for the beach, and everything you'd need in the kitchen to prepare meals for a big group of people. Tom was so accommodating, and we would highly recommend staying at his home. We have two girls under 4, and it was a safe, and comfortable environment for them. The screened in porch was perfect for quiet breakfasts and late night chats. We hope to come back next year!

Perfect New Year's Getaway

Tom's Sea Colony home was delightful. Modern, view of trees and a warm fireplace for the cold nights. Location was wonderful being close to the newly remodeled recreation center and a short walk to the ocean. The kitchen had all the essentials to make evening dinners and plenty of room for teenagers to escape from their parents. Tom was responsive to our reservation request and during our stay. Definitely look forward to returning.

Great trip!

We loved the house in sea colony! The location was quiet yet close to everything we needed. Tom was incredibly accessible and responsive throughout the rental process. We especially liked the board games, and kids games and the binder filled with rainy day activities! It really came in handy and saved our trip! Thanks for providing us with a wonderful place to Stay!
