We enjoyed our stay at Camp Terrapin! It was great for a large family, especially with two master bedrooms. The wrap around deck was nice to sit outside without being directly in the sun. Having two beach parking passes and being right along the trolley route made the distance from the beach so much more manageable. We had a little difficulty using our access code upon check in, but the owner was at the house very quickly to help us get in. They were also very responsive to any concerns throughout the week. Overall, Camp Terrapin was a great place to stay with our family of 14.

We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious vacation home. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for the ten of us in the house. We did have to walk 20-25min from the house to the Bethany Boardwalk, but there was the trolley if we wanted to use that option as well. It was clean overall, but someone in the party noted that the high chair should've been cleaned, and we needed to brush off the chair pads around the kitchen table before sitting down. But those aside, we'd definitely visit again!

Attended a wedding in Rehoboth. Place was big enough for our family of 18. Time for a new cleaning crew.

This was a good place for our group of 11 people. The kitchen is seriously lacking with good cookware to the point that one of our guests purchased additional cookware to utilize during our stay. I still don't understand the reasoning behind not providing sheets andr blankets. I recognize that covid caused some of these changes but don't understand why this practice continues. When someone rents a horse and then either had to pack additional towels and sheets, it's inconvenient. Or, your paying more money to rent these products in top of all the other money you've spent. Otherwise, this is a great place, beautiful neighborhood and the trolley was a nice addition in transportation to the beach

Great Family Retreat
This was a perfect venue for our family to get together. As many of us live in other states, gathering here in Bethany was the perfect way to spend special time together. This house lend itself perfectly for fun family activities at home and at the beach.

Fantastic Time
The home is perfect for a large group!! Our family had the best time. The large eating area and spacious screened porch gave everyone a place to get together. The outside shower was a plus for getting rid of sand from the beach. The host has all that you need to have a great stay. Can’t wait to return!! J Davis

Really Nice Rental
This is a really nice rental in a great neighborhood. The decor was outdated, but in very clean condition. The outdoor furniture could use some freshening up, but the kids enjoyed hanging out there. There were two large master suites which was nice. The house was very close to the trolley stop which was a nice bonus. I would definately recommend this property for a multiple family / friend gathering!

Nice house for our family of 15, just a little dated
We were pleasantly surprised upon entry into the house to find that the pictures didn't do it justice. The space was good for our family of 15 which included 7 adults and 7 kids ranging in age from 10-16. Everything was perfectly fine with the house and everything worked. We just felt that some of the appliances and furniture felt a little dated.
The house is a little over a mile from the beach where all the main shops are located. There are some close food, pharmacy and grocery options near the house.
Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Bethany Beach vs Ocean City, NJ
The house was spacious and kid friendly with the bunks and the enclosed side porch. Kitchen was a less equipped with just a few small serving bowls .adequate place settings , disadvantage was no pantry for storing the amount of food for a large family. Would definitely stay there again or even the 6 bedroom similar property. Contact with the owner was very pleasant .

The location was very good , while to far to walk places it took less then 10 minutes to get anywhere. Very quiet neighborhood. House I would say was clean but older and lived in. Plenty of space for 8 adults and 5 children.

Great stay!!
The home was clean and in a good location, close to all beaches including Ocean City. We did have difficulties getting into the home during check in but Cindy was readily available to fix the error. My guest and I enjoyed ourselves in the home and there was an ample amount of parking in the drive way for all guest. I definitely would rent this home again.

Nice and spacious property
Our party of 10 just spent the Labor Day weekend at this property, which could actually accommodate a few more people due to the multiple beds in some rooms. The house is properly equipped with cooking necessities so no need to bring any of your own. The free parking passes are very handy to have during the busy weekend. In all, we had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Best Family Weekend Ever
This house was amazing. We had 8 adults, and 9 kids, 5 teens& tweens and 4 young ones 4-8. this house fit us perfectly. Everything you need was there. We are renting again for a quick weekend getaway in Sept. The big room, was large enough that all the kids were accomodated. One bedroom had 2 small beds in which was not pictured. Some painting and updates need to be done, the grill we did not touch as we couldn't figure out how to work it. The outside porch we had to clean and all the furniture out there, But we had a blast and will definitely rent again.

Food restaurants are plentiful.

watch your dates
the house is lovely, 15 minutes to beach. two parking passes.
the dates listed for VBRO did not match the lease. I didn't discover this until one week before. the wonderful owner was, luckily, able to switch but it was very upsetting.

Fun place
very user friendly with super large beach casual dinning room table, big open space living /family room and good kitchen for food prep and cooking. Also, the big wrap around porch that was partly screened in came in handy for either adult quiet time or kid activities. Beach access was easy with the trolly car and parking passes. Good place for large family gatherings like ours!

Loved Bethany Beach!
Every summer we have a beach vacation with our entire family of 16. This year we stayed in Bethany at Camp Terrapin. The house was very nice. We especially enjoyed the screened porch. The bedroom arrangement was not perfect for our large group but we made it work. The trolley was helpful in getting back and forth to the beach. The beach was fabulous ( very wide and deep). We loved the quaint charming town. We will definitely return to Bethany. Cindy was wonderful in our communication. She was very prompt in replying to questions we had.

Nice accomodation for a large group. Over all satisfactory. However, we were not able to use the deck as it was covered with pollen.

Wonderful beach house in Bethany, well appointed and spacious!
We traveled to Bethany Beach for the first time, and this home was ideal for our group of 14-16. It had large bedrooms and a well appointed kitchen. The kids really liked the big bunk room as well as the screened in side porch. We enjoyed the coastal color theme and the wicker furniture. We would definitely stay here in the future!

Good size, location, dining/entertaining areas, but some little things were issues.
Good size house was perfect the multiple families. Close enough to beach to bike and the residential parking passes were key. Enough deck space to for beach supplies and hanging out. Ample parking. Overall good, but we had a few small issues. One of the beds had a broken frame. The railings on the top bunk beds were loose. The smoke alarms were faulty and needed to be replaced (so that shouldn't be an issue for anyone else). There wasn't a good place for crab picking (tables are glass). There was no sealable plastic storage (Tupperware) in the kitchen supplies. The Internet bandwidth was not great (had trouble streaming two shows at once). The wifi signal strength was not consistently good throughout the house, most noticeable by the tv.
