Description
If owning a quiet, oceanfront getaway is your dream, then 604 Island House in Sea Colony East can be your reality. The highly desirable Island House is located at the quiet, southern end of Coastal Delaware’s premier oceanfront community. This 6th floor condominium offers views of the ocean to the east from the dining area, kitchen, living room, owner’s suite, and covered deck. Looking south from the deck, there is an extended vista of the coastline to Fenwick Island and Ocean City. Being sold in-fee (NO GROUND RENT), this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, partially furnished condominium has never been rented. Purchased in 2011, the condo and systems have been updated, used sparingly, carefully maintained, and routinely serviced. The owner divides time between Florida and a Sea Colony West townhome, using 604 Island House as an office/study and for occasional family visitors. A $160,000 renovation included the kitchen with KitchenAid appliances, both bathrooms, Cortec flooring in the main living areas, relocation of the Maytag washer/dryer, and electrical/plumbing upgrades to accommodate. Also included in the renovation, the HOA replaced the front door, ocean-side windows, and sliding glass door leading to the deck with adjacent floor-to-ceiling windows. The seller’s realtor will provide a one-year Cinch Home Services Warranty. Whether considering use as a beach vacation getaway, permanent or seasonal residence, or investment property, all options are possible. FOR VACATION LIVING, this home is partially furnished including living room, dining area, and furniture for two of the three bedrooms. FOR A SEASONAL OR PERMANENT RESIDENCE, the home offers “no steps†entry from the ground floor lobby into the elevator to the 6th floor. AND FOR INVESTORS, Sea Colony boasts a robust pre-season, high-season, and off-season rental history. This unit has never been rented. But, ocean-front condominiums with comparable floor plans, sleeping accommodations, and locations report $60,000 or more of annual rental income. No matter the owner’s use, Sea Colony, Bethany Beach, and coastal Delaware are vibrant year-round destinations. ALL SEA COLONY OWNERS and guests have full access to the one-half mile of private beach, 10 out-door swimming pools, 2 indoor pools, 2 fitness centers, world-class indoor and outdoor tennis and pickle ball courts, bocce ball court, putting green, west-side lake privileges, playgrounds, summer beach-tram service, beautifully maintained grounds, and 24-hour security. There are EV charging stations in the East Side (beach side) parking lot and in Sea Colony West. The Sea Colony East indoor pool, fitness center, Sand Bar deli, and community security office are conveniently located on the ground floor of Edgewater House.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
