About Roy Low
How we found the Delaware Beaches: Like most people, our family discovered Bethany Beach and Sea Colony through word of mouth. Our first trip a Delaware beach town was to Rehoboth, not Bethany, because we thought we wanted the excitement of a big beach and boardwalk.
Roy Low purchased this townhome in 2002
Why Roy Low chose Delaware
Why we chose Bethany Beach: We did not fully anticipate the crowded beach and hectic pace of Rehoboth. Fortunately, the following year we were introduced to Sea Colony and Bethany Beach. Bethany has everything the bigger towns have, just a little less....less crowded, less hectic, less stress = More quality time.
What makes this townhome unique
Why Sea Colony instead of a private house: What a difference! A private beach with an outdoor pool just a few steps away, friendly crowds that are not overwhelming, bicycle rides with little or no traffic. We could play tennis, swim at the pool, and sun at the beach in the same morning.....We realized we did not need a big town for our vacation, just quality time among caring people and families looking to relax, just like us.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The following comment was sent to me on 10/24/2009
The Date of the visit was in early October, 2009
Roy, Thank you for a simply wonderful weekend. I had some doubts that we would enjoy ourselves at a beach resort in the Fall, but I was wrong. The weather was much better than I could have hoped for and between the tennis, pool and fitness center we were active all weekend. And my FaceBook friends still can't believe how reasonable the rental rates were! Thanks again, V. Jackson
My Response: Vicky, I am glad you enjoyed the tennis lessons (my personal favorite Autumn activity). I strive to provide a value rental experience and am glad we could 'shock' you FB friends. Warmest Regards, Roy

Perfect house and location for a family!
Roy's home is perfect! Perfect location (tram stop right outside the door, walking distance to a pool, and walking distance to a park for little kids). His home was beyond expectations for our family! It had everything we needed plus extra bonuses such as toys, games, tons of movies, pack n play, high chair, bed railings for younger kids, gates for younger kids, all bedding and bath towels were provided. His home had everything needed for the beach too - chairs, umbrella, sand toys. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation and can't wait to come back next year! Roy was easy to communicate with, very nice and always available if needed. All you need is your swimsuits and beach towels! Thanks for sharing your home!
Great place for families!
We had a terrific time at Roy's property. He was responsive and attentive all through the planning process. This property was perfect for our two families, who had small children. This place is really set up for families with young children. The toys, chess set, baby gates, pack n play, beach chairs, etc., were soooo convenient. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because of the reasons that it was perfect for our family. It's simply a little more lived in than some of the fancier places. The only "feedback" I would provide is that the gas was a little low in the gas range in the kitchen (but yay, gas!), and (probably as a result of the number of renters), kitchen items were a little difficult to find. They were all there but were in counter-intuitive locations - Ha! Anyway, we really enjoyed our time at Sea Colony and at Roy's house. I would definitely rent here again if we return to Sea Colony. Thanks to Roy for being such a gracious host and for allowing us to the opportunity to stay in his home!
Great place for our family
Had another great week in your Sea Colony condo. Thanks for being so accommodating. Hope we can book again next year, but our family will be growing by two, so we will have to see if two new babies will make us outgrow the place! Worked perfectly for our six adults and two toddlers.
Excellent Stay at Roy's
Having been to Bethany Beach several times & having driven through Sea Colony a lot too, it was amazing to learn how great an experience in Sea Colony could be. The tram to & from the house with ALL the beach gear kept our car sand free. And there was no need to bring any gear from home ... beach umbrellas & chairs are Tommy Bahama branded and are really good quality. (I'd say just bring beach towels & a cooler if you pick Roy's). The tram & not having to pay for parking also helps to justify the $35 / person amenity fee ... it's optional but goofing around at the tennis courts, pools, and so many other great features of Sea Colony is so worth it. In other words: I believe the fees & the badge you get are required for some aspects like the courts, pools?, the beach bonfire & bingo every week; but for 4 people (a car load) that $140 is easily what you'd pay if you didn't have easy transportation like the tram. Staff at Sea Colony is also amazing.
As for Roy's home, it's ideal. There were legos for my son. Board games for all of us. TVs were accompanied by Wii, Playstation, DVD players, and were in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. WiFi was easy to set up -- and using our Apple TV was a breeze. Bath towels, linens and use of a real large capacity washer / dryer mean you can ditch some of the wardrobe you bring too. The living room, dining room, kitchen area is very open and spacious. (At least 2 nights my kids opted to sleep on those couches.)
The kitchen is also great, 2 coffee machines -- one is Keurig, a Margaritaville Blender (Google it if you've never seen a machine like that), plenty of pots, pans, dishes & cooking equipment. And a grill we didn't use. The kitchen table is big enough for 6 but easily converts to a 4 seater for cards. And the dishwasher worked great too.
If I were staying there again, I'd think we'd pack less clothes, less beach stuff & a bigger cooler.
But maybe the best part of our stay in a total stranger's house was how great Roy is as a host. Communication and easy going attitude as well as super informative updates and emails to confirm his cell number and welcome us on the day arrival took a ton of stress out of the whole experience. I honestly don't know where we're going on vacation next summer, but this is the benchmark & if it can't beat staying at Roy's we're there.
(I also like HomeAway & the way it works to organize info after you've booked and the way it stores documents you'll need/want at check in.
Children will love this place
We enjoyed our stay at Sea Colony and Roy's townhouse. Roy was generous enough to let us stay with a 2 year old! There are plenty of toys, games and books for the entire family. Parents leave your toys at home. There are beach chairs, sand pails, shovels and even boogie boards for the ocean. The nice amenity about Sea Colony is most of the swimming pools come with kiddie pools which is a big help with the toddler group. Additionally, my son loved riding the tram to the beach. He woke up every morning looking for the train. Roy's home has three bedrooms on the upstairs level which makes it easier for families with young children to have the bedrooms on one level. The stairs are carpeted and does come with gates if you need to block stairway access. There is a high chair in the garage that can be used for meals at home. My husband said the Wi-Fi connection was excellent as he used the connection to login for work a few times. Roy kept in contact with us during our stay and we appreciated the extra attention.
Fantastic first time experience with HomeAway!
The property was very nice in a quiet community with close access to the pool and a tram running all day to the beach. The fitness center was also great. The best part was the communication with the owner.
