We love staying at this Sea Colony location. The place is the perfect beach vacation. Our family loves coming here and the communication with the owner is always appreciated. Wonderful stay!
We love staying here! From the tasteful decor, updated appliances, and comfy beds, to the easy walkout access (great with small kids), this place has never disappointed us.
We had another great stay! You cannot beat the wonderful quiet location of this condo. Steps to the beautiful Sea Colony beach. Mary takes care to have all the important items stocked for her guests. It’s very comfortable. We love staying here!

Thank you Ryan it’s a pleasure to host your family! FYI the problem you reported with the overhead fans has been resolved.
This was our second stay at this condo in Bethany. Everything was clean, neat and well stocked. The location is excellent, and the first floor walk out right to the beach is perfect!
Property was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It was a great location and had everything we needed for a great beach vacation! Mary was very responsive throughout the process. We really enjoyed our stay!
We stayed with our two littles and had a wonderful time. Mary is great to work with and provides all the information you could ever need. Great location to the pools and beach.
Great stay! We love Sea Colony and have stayed at many different condos over the last 30 years - this one was particularly lovely and clean. We will be back!
Lovely home and so convenient to the beach! Our family had a wonderful time and we appreciate all of the extras provided in the home. This was our second visit and we will be back!

Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure having you as my guests. I look forward to your return visit!
We had a wonderful experience coming here for a second time. I would absolutely stay here again! Mary is very easy to work with, and the property is beautiful.
We have been staying at the Sea Colony for several years now, the last few at this property. The location can’t be beat, with kids the first floor location is ideal. The condo is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you may need. The beach locker with chairs and umbrella is very convenient as well. Great place to stay!
This was our second year staying here…myself and a friend, and my daughters with friends. We had the best time and absolutely love the condo. Can’t wait until our trip next year!
This is our favorite property at Sea Colony, and we have been renting various units for 17 years! Second year in this one and have already booked for next year.
This unit is perfect for our family. Will be looking to book same unit for next year!

About the host
Hosted by 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 always loved the beach and spent many vacation weeks at various beaches up and down the East Coast and in California.
Why they chose this property
Visiting a friend at Sea Colony with my then grade school age children, I fell in love with Bethany Beach. The immaculate beach, the quiet town, the excellent restaurants and the oceanfront family environment 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 that year and have spent many relaxing weeks in it, both during the summer and in the off season. 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 property unique
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 promenade, we rarely use the elevator and have easy access from the beach to our unit when we need a break from the sun. We are also steps away from the outdoor pool shared by Island and Harbor Houses and a few more minutes walk from the larger indoor/outdoor pools and fitness area in the Edgewater complex. Edgewater also has a small convenience store for those mornings when we run out of half-and-half for our coffee!
