Sea Colony Close to Tennis/Fitness/Shuttle Charming 2 Bedrooms Plus Loft

Welcome to the Bethany Beach, Sea Colony's best resort spot, Southwinds. Nestled in tall trees and pines, this private, secluded "beach cottage" has lovely wooded views. A charming outdoor area has been created for you to enjoy after a fun day at the beach. This is the perfect location, it is convenient to tennis courts, pools, playgrounds, fishing ponds, the fitness center, and the in-season shuttle to the beach (if you don't choose to walk, bike, or drive).

Our two-bedroom plus loft comfortably sleeps nine with a king bed in the first master bedroom and a queen in the second. The spacious loft has one twin beds with trundle and a sleeper queen bed. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room.

Tastefully decorated, cathedral ceilings, walls of sliding glass doors and many, many windows provide an abundance of natural light. The large living area opens onto a wrap-around screened-in porch, all new furniture and flooring. There is a sunny open deck off of the dining area.

Our home is the perfect getaway for any season. The beach is not just for summer anymore. Perfect for Mother's Day, Striper season, golf weekends and come see why Sea Colony is The Premier Family Beach and Tennis Community. My family invites your family to RELAX and ENJOY a great vacation here!

As a guest of Sea Colony, enjoy the aquatic center, fitness center, tennis center, playgrounds, walking paths, and one-half mile of guarded, private beach.

Enjoy the beach, splash in one of the 12 pools, play tennis on one of the 32 tennis courts, or just chill out with a cocktail on the wraparound porch.



We have a pack and play and high chair for your little one. We are also close to two community playgrounds. In addition to your weekly rental, all guests at Sea Colony are required to purchase a Recreational badge per person (per week) in the summer months.

All renters must pack their own linens and towels, linen rental service is available as an alternative. We can provide you with additional information if you are interested. Sea Colony requires all guests to sign a Covid waiver/agreement at check in when you are collecting your parking passes and purchasing badges. ($47/ person)

Peaceful Getaway
Our family had a wonderful end-of-summer getaway trip and it was exactly what we needed. Peaceful, quiet, comfortable. The house is close to the tram, which is close to everything! Parking was easy. The screened in porch on rainy nights invited family bonding and togetherness. Ellen was wonderful to connect with and we are thankful for our trip!

Nice short stay
We had a good short stay at this property. It was well stocked and clean. We also liked Sea Colony, not a knock on the owner but wish Sea Colony would charge daily rates for their badges, we had to pay full weeks price for a 2 day stay.

fell in love with Sea Colony
My husband, two boys and my 70 year old parents stayed for 4 days and it was the best beach resort in the DMV area. It was great for my mom, who's back made it difficult to walk, because the tram drove us anywhere we needed to go, including to the beach. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Sea Colony. There are no pool bars, or bars or restaurants at all in the resort so it doesn't attract young partiers, making it a more family friendly environment. Regarding this unit - it was a great size for the 6 of us. My parents and my husband and I had our own bedrooms and the boys enjoyed having their own space in the loft. The kitchen was well equipped to make meals and it was nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. Overall it was clean and functional for our stay. The only critiques I have are the bugs outside the front door. It is right next to the woods so there are spiders and various bugs, but the cleaners should probably just sweep off around the front door to remove the dead bugs for a better first impression. Also, it was advertised that they provide toilet paper, paper towels, etc. There was one partially used roll of paper towels and each bathroom had the one roll of toilet paper that was on the dispenser. We ended up having to buy both, which we could have brought from home if we knew that we needed to. There were also no extra trash bags. I just recommend bringing your own so you have some back-ups. Not a reason not to stay here.

Nice. Will stay there again
It was our first visit to Sea Colony in 35 years. Sea Colony is a huge development including high rises and townhouse and low rise flat dwellings with beachfront, multiple pools, many tennis courts, etc. Despite its size it is pretty tastefully laid out. People were in beach mode, very nice and laid back. This is a cute 2nd floor flat which is well laid out with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, kitchen, dining and living room areas all on main level, + a loft. Also a screened in porch and small deck. The location is quiet, facing woods and adjacent to a stream, a short walk to the fitness and aquatic centers and a pleasant tram ride or short drive or short bike ride to the beach (there are outdoor faucets/showers at the beach entrances to get sand off, and there are pools right there which could serve the same purpose). Beds and furnishings were comfortable, appliances and plumbing worked well and AC was effective and quiet. Parking was easy. The owner was rapidly responsive to my texts. It got 4 rather than 5 stars because I use an absolute scale... 4 stars is my max for this type of accommodation which is not new (90s?) but is well maintained, without the posh bells and whistles of high end (and high $) new construction. So, "just fine, very good" but not "top of the line." My family (2 kids, parents, 2 grandparents) had a great time.

Weekend in Bethany
We were very thankful to find this place, as we were only staying for 3 nights. We are used to the ocean side of Sea Colony so this was a little different for us. Ellen was a gracious host and was very clear about what was/was not included with the rental. The area is very quiet and peaceful! It met our expectations and we had a lovely weekend!

Beach condo
Quick responses from property manager. Would not rent this property again. In very bad location - behind other condos. Long unlighted path around to the back of the building to get to entrance. Owners try to make it cute inside but it is dark. Management said there would be sheets and towels when we got there. Some sheets were thrown on top of the beds and no towels. When called about this I was told to use some of the beach towels that were there for our bath towels. Or what I’m used to when renting in sea colony

Just Okay
The description should not state that there are two bathrooms. One of the toilets is basically unusable. Also, the owner should not state the kitchen is stacked with paper products (they told us paper towels, etc) would be there. We wasted our money buying them in Bethany when we could have brought them from home. Also there are no trash bins in the area where the rental is. And it is stated there are. Walk to the fitness center is very close though!

Very Good Option for Bethany Beach
We enjoyed our stay at the property. Description on the website was fully accurate and the location within Sea Colony was very well suited for a summer beach vacation. As the description makes clear you need to carry your own bed linen, toiletries and paper products. The WiFi was really fast and the HVAC was updated.

Great atmosphere
Really nice, family-friendly community. Our 2-year old loved playing with the sand in the porch. That was a great touch! There's a pool in walking distance, but the beach is a bit further. With a two-year old I wish we would have brought a stroller. However, you can still drive and park at the beach if you get there early enough.
