Sea Colony, Oceanfront Condo. Steps to the beach, great for families!

We had a terrific week. We couldn’t have had a better week. Thank you for being so accommodating.

I've stayed in many beach condos in my life but this one was by far the best! The interior is beautifully updated and decorated, even down to nicer glasses than you normally see in a rental. I selected this walk out level condo because of the 3 small children with us and wanting easy access to the beach and pool without having to utilize an elevator or steps. This was perfect! We were the second condo from the end and no walk through by us so hardly any foot traffic in front of the unit. The large, extended patio served as an additional relaxation and play space for our family. It was really easy to walk out to the beach and pool and send the kids back with family for naps as needed. We will be booking this same unit again next year!

We had such a wonderful time at the condo. This place is upgraded, well decorated and amazingly supplied for anything you could possibly need. It was the most luxurious home away from home possible. My family had the best time and truly did not have to worry about a thing. The condo was clean, bright and had all the luxuries of home. We never sat around bored and wondering what to do. There are lots of places to walk to right on the grounds, plus town is only a 20 minute walk (or 3 minute drive) away. It was just truly amazing, and such a fun and relaxing family vacation for us. My 3.5 year old keeps asking when we can go home to the condo. I cannot recommend this place to our family and friends enough - we love it and are already talking about going back next year. Mary was so easy to work with and we look forward to working with her for our vacation next year!

Our long weekend at Bethany started great when we arrived. The condo is absolutely gorgeous with no detail missed by the owners. It was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. I was excited hoping we found a condo to return to yearly for our Bethany trip. Unfortunately, our trip was cut short. Sunday evening (we were checking out Tuesday), on Mother's day, I packed up my 3 1/2 year old and 7 month old, and we left at 10:30pm in the evening. Mary and I began texting around 8:45pm as when we were playing a card game on the floor of the living area we spotted about 8-10 ants (on the cards, the couch, the floor, on us). Up until this point we saw random ants here and there but nothing to concern us. We moved to the bedroom with the couch to play there chalking it up to a few random ants. When we moved, my daughter then freaked out when she saw ants again. We then looked and realized they were trailing from the back patio door around the perimeter, up the walls, and all over our stuff. They weren't in the kitchen at all, they were on couches (that we didn't even use), the carpet, the floorboards, etc. My husband went to CVS and bought ant spray and traps (which Mary refunded us for). Mary was very helpful in calling Sea Colony and a security guard came out to take a look and he was shocked to see them going up the walls. After finding some ants on us, and with how bad they were in the condo, I made the decision to pack up the family and head home (3 hours away) as I couldn't spend the evening in a place with a lot of ants with little children. As you can imagine, this was not fun to pack-up, clean-up, wake up my 7 month old, and make the trek home. In communicating with Mary over the next 24 hours, she did come to the condo the next morning and said she didn't see ants. I would hope with what we did that they'd be pretty much gone. She did refund us Monday night since we weren't there but we received $0 back for Sunday which was disappointing with what we went through. I understand we were there until 10pm that evening but a partial refund would have been appreciated since our trip and evening was turned upside down. I know it was not Mary's fault for the ants but what happened wasn't our fault either. Again, the condo is gorgeous and Mary was responsive and returned our security deposit quickly BUT with what happened I cannot recommend staying here nor would I return which is extremely disappointing to say.

Our family of five stayed here in July 2016 and had a marvelous time. The condo provides quick access to the beach and pool areas which was most important to our kids, and a very short walk into the town itself - great at night to head to dinner or grab some ice cream. There are plenty of restaurant options and pharmacy/convenience stores a short walk away and bike rentals. We also kayaked one afternoon and that is close by, as well. It is quite spacious with plenty of room for three teenagers and two adults to feel they each had their own space and the kitchen is stocked with all the amenities one would need for a getaway by the shore. All appliances worked as advertised and the condo was clean upon our arrival. We had zero maintenance issues which is always a major plus on vacation! The owners are delightful and handled all pre-trip preparations and questions we had with courtesy and quickness. It's a perfect place for a fun-filled holiday with you, kids and friends.
