Pros - The house looked exactly like the pictures. It was located in a nice, quiet neighborhood right on the canal. The house was set up well with plenty of space to sit and sleep. Bed was comfortable. Our favorite room was the bathroom. It looked completely renovated and well done. Was nice to sit outside on the deck. Would be nice if the chairs were more comfortable. We came from out of state so we didn’t bring our own. There were water toys and a kayak but we didn’t use them. Kitchen was stocked with everything one needs to cook. There was some coffee in the cabinet but is old and needs to be replaced. Access to house was super easy. Air conditioning worked really good. Cons - the stairs going up are quite steep and the top step isn’t the same spacing as the rest, it’s higher. This could be a trip hazard. For some reason we couldn’t find any dish towels or extra wash cloths. There was one wash cloth for the bathroom. We were able to locate extra towels and linens for the bedroom and there were several microfiber cloths. The house has a very unique, strong smell that I can’t quite describe. It permeated our luggage and clothes. Might want to look into air purifiers and air fresheners. Would certainly help with the stale, musty smell.

Our stay was great! We really loved the location and the house completely met our expectations. The open floor plan was very comfortable. My only complaint would be the downstairs bedroom had a mold smell that was very intense. Nobody wanted to sleep down there. First impression when walking in the room was a can of roach spray, so that didn't help squelch that fear. We chalked it up to beach living and moved past it, but it definitely felt like whomever draws the short straw will sleep down there. There was also a time censored lamp right outside the main level bedrooms that made it look like daytime. There was no switch to turn it off, so we had to put pillows in the windows to block it out. Other than that, the place was awesome. The owner was very responsive and we had a great time!

Loved It!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our short family vacation over the holiday weekend! Our boys had a blast catching fish right off of the dock while we relaxed in the shade. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed, more than most other rental homes we’ve stayed at. The beach is very close, but we mostly enjoyed being in the vibrant canal community. The hosts were outstanding and allowed us some much-needed flexibility on check-in day. We loved our visit to this little piece of paradise and look forward to returning!

Perfect for Fishing

The property is in a great location further down the strand. It is well equipped in the kitchen and linens and towels. Also the dock is clean, with a fish cleaning station, hose, and chairs. Fishing from the canal is the highlight. We highly recommend going to the local bait shop. Owner was flexible and responsive!Just be aware that the bedroom with the bathroom attached is not connected to the other part of the house. It only has an external door that leads right out to the dock. (Which worked great for our early am teen to fish). The laundry is also separate in its own space with only an external door, on the bottom floor. This worked for us, but might not be the right set up for others.

Nice little canal home

Overall it was good, Teramar Beach is a great location with close proximity to the Beach which is just across the street from the neighborhood and the home is right on the water so you can fish/crab from the back porch. It's a good ways west on the island so if you needed something from in town or wanted to do something else, it's a good drive but otherwise we were very happy with our stay.
