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!

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.

Weekend Getaway

We had a great time at the Waterside Dream in Terramar. Seems like they just finished a nice remodel recently! There is an open floor plan that connects the kitchen, living, and dining spaces on the second floor. Good for stretching out and entertaining. Plenty of pots and pans and whatever you need to cook up a storm. Both the oven and range worked properly. 2 separate bedrooms and recently renovated bathroom to share. Had a nice dual-showerhead setup. Bottom level also has its own little bungalow with a bed and full bathroom. We fished from the dock all weekend and set up a TV outdoors to watch football. You've got a water spicket right next to the cleaning station that comes in super handy if you also like to fish. Caught several small speckled trout (they were even eating fresh dead), drum, hardtops, and stingrays. Weber grill seems brand new and used it to cook steaks and brats. We also had access to a utility room so we could easily store our gear at night. Depending upon the time of the year, bring some mosquito spray. Darlene was very responsive and accommodating! You've got access to a small grocery store and bait camp within a 5 minute drive. We've stayed in bayhouses in Jamaica Beach, Sea Isle, and are now adding Terramar to the list. All nice neighborhoods.

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!

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.
