This condo is very well maintained, spotlessly clean & very serene with lovely simplistic décor! Somewhere between Swedish & modern with high ceilings & a loft, it felt very spacious & comfortable! Since it is on the upper floor, there is a flight of stairs, but being up so high provides a sense of privacy & created the feeling of being in a tree house, especially in the bedrooms, which we loved! We really did not find the stairs to be any problem.
We loved the sleek kitchen with tons of dishes & cookware! Especially appreciated the large pantry closet which was completely stocked with anything we needed! The washer & dryer off the kitchen were handy as well! The WIFI worked great & also the flat screen TV with cable! There is a smaller TV in each bedroom! The loft made a wonderful third bedroom and I found it perfect for reading in a comfortable chair by the window and for working on my laptop at the convenient desk! There were even extra throws for afternoon naps!
Even though it was a week with record high temperatures, the A/C seemed to have no problems keeping the condo pleasantly cool, even up in the loft, which is also equipped with a remote control operated ceiling fan to keep the air circulating! We enjoyed taking our evening wine & appetizers out onto the very large & comfortably furnished screen porch with views of the woods!
The owner, Tom, was fantastic; extremely accessible! Anything I needed throughout the rental process, he was right on top of it! With his organization & great up-front communication, he made the check-in process at Sea Colony a breeze! He provided a letter of introduction & the keys well in advance along with clear information about what to expect. So while I observed other guests being surprised by the Sea Colony fees and a slow check-in, we were processed in less than 10 minutes & on to fun! Additionally, there was a wonderful information binder that he provided in the condo with answers to any questions that came up! My security deposit refund was processed quickly & efficiently!
There are tons of things to do in Sea Colony, if all the activities in Bethany Beach don't keep one busy enough! We used one of the Sea Colony pools, which was just a short walk from the condo. We also really enjoyed the nearly nightly free entertainment on the BB boardwalk!
I highly recommend this rental! Overall, it was a great experience!!
