About this apartment rental

Updated Lakefront Vacation Condo With Easy Access To Everything Sea Colony has to offer: Pools, Beach, Tram service, Fitness Center, Family-friendly Activities, and so much more!

My well maintained and modernized 2BR/2BA condo with direct lakefront view makes for a perfect mix of quiet of Sea Colony West and the excitement of the Delaware boardwalks in one vacation. I bought this condo in 2011 and I invest in updates and maintenance every year so that your stay will be comfortable and enjoyable. Highlights from updates that have been made to the condo recently are:

- Replaced bunk bed furnishing in 2nd bedroom
- New walk-in tile shower in Master Bath
- New dining set on deck
- New Sofa
- New refrigerator with automatic ice maker
- Granite installed in Kitchen
- Installed New Pergo flooring in living and dining areas
- Installed New tile flooring in kitchen and bathroom

Looking at the pictures and the upgrades I've done, it should be no surprise my condo twice earned a 'GOLD' level rating from the Sea Colony realtors rental division (before I switched to personally managing the rental of my condo). I'm proud of how my property looks now so please take the time to look through the entire set of pictures.

In the master bedroom you will find a queen bed. In the second bedroom you will find a double bed with a single bunked above. Total sleeping accommodation is 5 persons.

Two of the community's pools are within a very easy walk and both are HEATED as needed; one of these pools also has a baby pool. Additional pools are a short walk or tram ride away. The closest beach shuttle stop is three units away from my condo and the tram beach shuttle (a kid favorite) stops at the end of the block. TENNIS and PICKLEBALL - the tennis center with over 20 courts and the pickleball courts (that have open play in the mornings that you can sign up for) are both less than a 5 minute walk away. The fitness center was rebuilt and expanded in 2018 and now has a larger indoor pool, fun water features for youngsters at the outdoor pool, plenty of exercise equipment, and an extensive offering of fitness classes for all levels. The new pickle ball courts are part of the family friendly amenities at the West Lake. West Lake is a very short walk away, and also includes shuffleboard, bocce ball, corn whole, basketball, a putting green and a pavilion with charcoal grills.

Guests must bring their own linens (the agencies won't let you do that) or you can book sheets for your stay directly from SheetsAtTheBeach - they have keys to my condo, they provide high quality linens less expensively than the rental agencies, and for a small extra fee they will make the beds up for you! I prefer to rent full weeks in the summer months but shorter rentals are possible in the non-prime season or for last-minute rentals.

As with every Sea Colony rental you will be responsible for purchasing recreation badges directly from the recreation association on your arrival day. These badges cost $58 per person per week in the 2026 summer months and allow access to the private beach (with life guards), the indoor and outdoor pools, the tennis courts, the fitness center, the shuttle transportation network, and other community events (e.g. the weekly beach campfire with s'mores). Unfortunately the badges are not pro-rated for shorter stays - this is one of the reasons I encourage weekly rentals.

This is strictly a non-smoking rental. Also, community regulations do not allow tenants to bring pets so no dogs or cats are allowed. For those concerned about allergies, condo owners are allowed pets and we do bring our dog when we stay.

This is our 2nd time staying here and again we had an excellent week, home is cozy and upgrades are great. Were able to take the tram to beach easily or walk to pools. Fishing in backyard was great! Thanks for opening your home Rob and keeping us informed on any changes. Made the stay smooth!

Lovely, quiet property by a pond. Nice deck for morning coffee! Pools easily accessible by a short walk from the condo. Beach a short drive or tram ride away. Kitchen had plenty of equipment and dishes, but no consumable staples (ie no spices, oil, sugar) so bring everything you’ll need for cooking. Host very responsive and easy to communicate with!

This place is very comfortable and clean. The host, Rob, is very communicative and accommodating. We would absolutely recommend his condo and are planning to return next year.

We would definitely come back. Rob was wonderful and in contact with us when some small issues arose. The condo was big enough for our family. We enjoyed that it backed up to the lake and was quiet and private. the close pools were closed due to covid but it was a short bike ride to a really nice one. It was nice to see most people in masks and it felt pretty safe. We would definitely come back.
