About Mary Bollinger
I grew up in the Philadelphia area and my husband Vince is from Northern Virginia. We met while working and studying in NYC. We have moved around quite a bit, living on both coasts and in the middle of the country before finally settling in Harrisburg, PA. We have always loved the beach and spent many vacation weeks at various beaches up and down the East Coast and in California.
Mary Bollinger purchased this condo in 2013
Why Mary Bollinger chose Delaware
Visiting a friend at Sea Colony 2 summers ago while on a lacrosse tournament tour with my oldest son, I fell in love with Bethany Beach. The immaculate beach, the quiet town, the excellent restaurants and the oceanfront luxury provided by the Sea Colony complex all beckoned to me. When I told Vince I wanted to buy a condo that had just come on the market, he happily agreed. We completed a gut renovation to our condo in the spring of 2014 and spent many relaxing weeks there that summer. But reality beckons, and with 3 busy teenagers and college looming, we need to share our space in order to fully enjoy it. We hope your family finds it as comfortable and beautiful as we do, and comes back to enjoy the summer pleasures that Bethany offers again and again.
What makes this condo unique
We fell in love with the area first and then with Island House. We love the privacy of our unit. It is the last of the 9 Sea Colony buildings and far enough away from the center of the complex that there is a sense of privacy. Because we step directly from our unit onto the decking, we rarely use the elevator and have easy access from the beach to our unit when we need a lunch break. We are also steps away from the large outdoor pool and fitness area in the Edgewater complex. There is a small convenience store here as well for those mornings when we run out of half-and-half for our coffee!

Beautiful condo, trip cut short :(
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.
Perfect location and all the amenities!
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.
Wonderful Family Vacation for young kids and grandparents too!
I just got back from a week with my three children (ages 4, 2, and 7 months) and my parents. The house was incredibly comfortable for the 7 of us. I have nothing but raving reviews for this vacation rental. First of all, the house was BEAUTIFUL. I felt like I was truly on a get-away. Everything was chosen to be practical, durable, and comfortable. For example, the couch, the beds, the pillows, the comforters, the carpets in the bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, the dining room, etc. I have small children and I did not have to worry about small nick nacks or "decorations" laying around. The place was very child-friendly. The place was gorgeously decorated, so much so that I wanted to stay there and not return to my own place! The kitchen was lovely to use and was so enjoyable. The seating area allowed for all of us to sit and relax or eat comfortably. The fact that this rental was on the ground floor could not have been better. We merely walked out the patio and were steps from the pool or the beach. For my family (with grandparents and my children), we were all happily accommodated. It is a short walk for my parents to get to the pool or beach. And the kids could just run out back on the patio to play or enjoy their popsicles. The rental was also stocked with tons of fun games for my young kids! And games for older kids too. We spent a lot of time playing games when we weren't outdoors. This "sea colony" is perfect for having small kids because we had the beach, the pool, the baby pool, and even the playground (the playground was a short drive away). Truly, this place is perfect for all our ages, from the youngest to the oldest. We all could enjoy. The kids had plenty to keep them entertained (games, beach, pool, etc) and was a true vacation spot for the adults as well. You can go for a lovely walk when the kids are asleep, you can sit out and enjoy the sunset, you can sit inside comfortably and enjoy yourselves as well. Perfect for young children up through adults and older adults. We really hope to stay there again!
Everything we wanted and more!
We were incredibly pleased with the unit for our vacation (family of 4). The accessibility to the pool and beach were perfect! It didnt hurt that our weather was perfect all week :) We had a few questions during our stay and the owners were very responsive to our needs. We would love to stay here again.
Great vacation condo
Just back from a week at this Bethany Beach condo. I've stayed at two other Sea Colony units and this one was the best! It was very comfortable and furnished with everything one could need at the beach including beach chairs, umbrella and cart to carry everything. We were three adults and two children, ages 1 and 4. The location on the ground level is perfect for kids and also quiet since the unit is the second to last in the last building at Sea Colony. This property is a short walk into the town of Bethany and I didn't need my car all week! Having access to a pool was also great. Mary was great to deal with and provided timely and useful information about the area. Thank you!
Immaculate
My family and I decided to try Sea Colony for the first time in over 20 years. My recollection of Sea Colony was a family friendly location, but one that could use some improvement on the interior of their condos/units.
This is the furthest from the truth with regard to this unit. Clearly the owners value their property and have invested time and money into it. We were blown away with the interior amenities as well as the proximity to both the beach access and pool.
Likewise, the owners were responsive with communication leading up to our vacation with any questions about the unit, Sea Colony, or the Bethany Beach community.
I would certainly recommend renting this unit to anyone interested.

Swimming, sitting by the beach and having fun with your family and friends-that's what Bethany is all about!
