Sea Colony Beach Resort

First I can say that if we had had either better neighbors or a competent security office to contact this might have been a higher rating, but neither was the case. We stayed in Sea Colony Island House the last full week of August and the people in the apartment above us were loud, stoned and apparently unsupervised by an adult. We asked security to deal with it and by the 4^th time, we realized that not only were they completely ineffectual, they also refused to call the police even though you could smell the pot smoke wafting off of the balcony and the obviously underage drinkers were hooting from the balcony like monkeys. Finally the animal house upstairs left and the rest of the week was quiet — I lost any respect for the security team at Sea Colony.
I also felt ripped off when I realized that this pricey rental on the beach didn’t even include the price of beach tags which we had to buy separately.
I’m going back to Cape May next year.

Always my favorite vacation spot. My extended family has been coming here on and off for the last 26 years. This was the first year I came with my husband and we have been having a relaxing time. The weather has been beautiful, the condo is comfortable and clean, and we have been finding fun things to do in and about Bethany. The beach is clean and we love having an apartment in walking distance to the beach! Fantastic place!

Fantastic time! The house we rented was perfect walking distance to the beach and everything we needed. Clean and as described. The Wyndham Resort staff were nice when we checked in and helpful. The beaches are great — very private feeling and clean. I love that there are swings and slides for kids on the beach. The only thing I could say that could be better was the place we rented itself– the decoration is from the 80s, but comfortable and clean. Having a fully furnished kitchen is great. Having basic cable was nice. The running paths along the Sea Colony properties are great and well used. The wifi was slow and every time I used my hair dryer (3x in two days), I would blow a fuse in the place we stayed. It wasn’t a big deal since the fuse box was also in the bathroom, but slightly annoying. There are also two holes in the deck. My 1.5 year old daughter’s leg fell in one of the holes and got scraped up. We moved some of the furniture on the deck so it covered the holes. There is also an outlet that didn’t work. The owner of the house should make a few minor updates to the house. Overall though, Sea Colony/​Wydham Resorts did a great job. The beaches were gorgeous and everyone had a great time we will talk about for years to come. Definitely want to come back and stay longer next time!

We had a great time staying at a friend’s timeshare at Sea Colony!
Our condo was clean and comfortable, and it looked like parking was always conveniently available. There was also a park and pool within walking distance.
The pool we spent several afternoons at ended up being the one at the athletic center. The kids also got new pool toys at the shop inside. As fun as they looked, we never got around to attending any of the activities offered.
The littlest travelers in our party loved the bus around the property. If you’re on the long bus — be careful! Half our party almost got separated, or fell off the bus, when apparently no one noticed we were exiting and the bus started to drive away as were were moving!

First time at Sea Colony and already thinking of heading back. The resort was quiet, clean and had a friendly staff. The unit we stayed in was clean and well-​kept. The beach wasn’t any more crowded than most of the beaches in the Maryland/​Delaware area. Only minor annoyance was the face that people set chairs on beach to reserve their spot before 9 and did not actually come to the beach until late afternoon.

Assisting a friend w/​childcare this week at this family-​friendly, bike-​riding beach community near Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach. The condo is the same one this family has stayed at for two consecutive years and it is no wonder why… the accommodations are comfortable and clean. The washer and dryer allow for easy laundering of beach towels and other items, which means no endless loads of post-​vacation laundry! Wifi accessibility, at times spotty, but also a perk. Would recommend this quiet resort to any family looking for a DE getaway.

LOVE SEA COLONY! We have been renting the same condo for two years now and it is just like home (except with a better view). The beaches are lovely, the pools are pristine (especially the kids pool), the gym is top notch. Sea Colony is one of our favorite vacations!

Have stayed here two years in a row and we love the place. Very clean and near everything!!!
Kids loved the fireworks!

I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of frequenting the Sea Colony Beach Resort thanks to my friend’s ownership of a unit there. This ownership resort is huge. The original towers featuring condo units were built right on the beach front. The latter units were built as townhouses in sprawling inland communities featuring club houses, swimming pools, playgrounds, lakes, and tennis court complexes. As my friend owned one of these inland townhouses, we took shuttles provided by the resort to the beaches next to the condo units. The swimming pools, restrooms, and snack bars made for a nice stay at the beach. In the evenings, its proximity to Rehoboth Beach or Ocean City made for a fun stay at the resort. Even if you can’t/won’t own a unit, you can find plenty of weekly rentals here.

My parents have owned here since 2005. We’ve gone to the beach several times, year-​round, and had nothing but mostly pleasant experiences. I’ve heard that the tennis instruction is top notch, and the community is focused on tennis (you’ll notice it in the street names!), swimming, fitness, and recreation. There are some really cute playgrounds for children, lakes for watching ducks and geese, and a great fitness center with classes and a (small) exercise room. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the grounds are well-​maintained, and the pools are great! Owner’s fees can be a bit high, but you get a lot for what you’re paying, such as extermination services, security, a tram that will take you to and from the beach, etc.
We just love it here… it’s close enough to Ocean City and Rehoboth, but a lot more family-​oriented and quieter, which is perfect for me :)
