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.

Perfect location

This property is the perfect location as advertised. The house is very cute and a good size for 2 people and actually 3-4 would be fine here too. My issue with the house is the cleanliness. When we first arrived the house had not been cleaned from the previous stay. The owner was very responsive and got the cleaners there immediately to clean it. Then it was "surface" clean. The house is just in need of a very deep cleaning. Also the dishwasher needs to be replaced. The only way we could get it to run was to prop a chair against the door to hold it shut. It was obvious that the housecleaners just put the dishes away without checking them. We had to rewash everything we took out of the cupboard. There is no storage for guests to use. The closets are either locked or stuffed full. This house is in the perfect location and is very cute and I regret that I cannot give it a higher rating.
