Delaware beach and tennis resort community also listed in the Top 10 among Tennis Magazine’s “50 Best U.S. Tennis Resorts” – including #5 for instruction
Located just south of Bethany Beach, Delaware, Sea Colony – known as “The Premier Family Beach & Tennis Resort Community” – continued its climb among the elite tennis resorts in the world, according to Tennis Resorts Online’s 2009 rankings, released on May 1.
Sea Colony vacation rentals, available through ResortQuest, range from oceanfront condos to secluded single families homes.
Ranked No. 16 last year, the seaside resort community climbed three places this year to No. 13 in the world. This global recognition follows numerous local, regional and national honors earned by the resort community and its tennis staff. Posted on TennisResortsOnline.com (TRO), published by former Tennis Magazine editor Roger Cox, the annual rankings are determined by vacationers, who were asked to evaluate resorts and camps in 20 categories, from the quality of the tennis programs to lodging.
TRO also ranked Sea Colony No. 3 for best instruction and programs, No. 1 for junior programs and No. 4 for best overall children’s programs.
With 34 tennis courts, including four indoor and 14 Har-Tru clay, and 25 teaching professionals, Sea Colony Tennis, under Tennis Director Dr. Dave Marshall, offers a wide range of camps, clinics and private instruction to tennis players of all ages and skill levels.
Supported by the Sea Colony homeowners, the tennis program has produced state and national champions, elite juniors and top collegiate tennis players, while earning kudos from state and regional tennis organizations.
In October 2008, Tennis Magazine honored the resort community in the Top 10 among its “50 Best U.S. Tennis Resorts,” including ranking Sea Colony #5 for instruction.
In addition to its world-class tennis offerings, Sea Colony, which is professionally managed by ResortQuest Delaware, features a wide variety of amenities including a newly-widened half mile of private beach, 12 pools (two indoor), fitness centers, activities for all ages, community shuttle, year-round security and wireless Internet access.
