Has anyone ever stayed at Sea Colony in Bethany Beach, Delaware?

For our vacation this year, my family would like to try somewhere new. We're used to going to Ocean City, Maryland and for the past 2 years have gone to Ocean City, New Jersey because our daughter was working there. We'd like to try Bethany Beach since it seems much more laid back than OCMD, but yet close enoigh that we can "daytrip" down there if we want to. We want to rent a condo. We'd like to be able to drive as little as possible. I know Sea Colony has a shuttle that takes you around their property but does it also take you to the boardwalk or into "town"? (we'll stay at the tennis resort if we stay here, the ocean resorts are WAY to expensive) Is it a long walk if we want to walk to the boardwalk? Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere else to stay? We have 2 adults and a 13 year old. We'd like to walk or bike a lot of the places we go and the 13 year old MUST have a pool! We'd like to spend around $1000 (or less of course) on the condo/apartment, for the week of July 23rd-30th. Any suggestions or info would be appreciated!
