Camp Terrapin -5 BR, 4 BA, Sleeps 16

Our Booking Calendar is ALWAYS up-to-date. The rates posted on this website are current for every season. PLEASE NOTE: There is an unresolved problem on the VRBO website that I have been trying to have corrected over the past several weeks. As a result, an additional 7% town tax will be added your lease. This is in addition to the NEW 4.5% Delaware state accommodations tax that went into effect in September, 2024. When VRBO added the new tax to their platform, they eliminated the Bethany Beach Town Tax in error. This problem has affected every property owner in the state of Delaware where local taxes are in effect.

Expensive and Disappointing

This property was able to sleep my family of 14 and it was close to the trolley line but it was quite dated and worn looking. I had the impression that there was no pride in ownership and it was just an income property! The floors appeared to have never been washed. There was a lot of mold on a shower door. Shelves in the fridge were cracked and unstable, there was rust in the dishwasher and the racks were broken and missing pieces. The washer and dryer were rusted and the dryer did not turn off when opened. The high chair was filthy and the closet it was stored in had many dead bugs. After several days there we had sinus issues. I felt the air filters had never been replaced.

Great Beach House for Large Family

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.

Spacious vacation house

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!

Good place for family gathering

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

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 .

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.
