This place is paradise. We loved the area, very close to the beach, walking distance. The property overall all is a dream, the pool was really clean and the owner has made sure to stock the property with all the things you might need for the beach. The golf cart is an added bonus, we loved it so much because we were able to get around the town without using our own cars, parking in the beach area is difficult but the golf cart makes all the difference. We shall be back soon to stay many more days!

Retalition review! Working with VRBO to get it taken down. Guest broke a bed, flushed wipes down toilets and clogged plumbing(even though the directions say not to. There are even plaques posted above toilets stating this), broke a floor tile in the dining room. When asked to pay for the damages and roto rooter bill, the guest writes this. Horrible experince.

Not being aware that we had all those stairs to carry our luggage up, wasn’t a good start. The unit was clean mostly but it is in need of a deep clean and de clutter of the wardrobes and hall cupboard. If things don’t work or are broken, throw them out.I had to vacuum a lot of dust build up on top of the bedroom curtains, window sills and screens before we could sleep in the rooms.Nothing I could do about the mildew on the back of the curtains.Position is great, as was the view of the ocean. Communication with Daniel was great, as was the price for the week. I’d love to say we’ll stay again but the thought of the stairs Our son who visited, is very interested in booking it at some time in the future. As I said… it really needs a deep cleaning.

Weekend of 6-20-25

We recently stayed at the property. The back yard was great. It had a nice pool with a relaxing outdoor area. We encountered a few issues. The first morning we woke up to find one of our toilets was leaking and the leak was made worse after the shower was used once. We were told someone would be coming to fix it, but they never showed up. This left us with one working bathroom for 6 people for the weekend. We arrived Friday afternoon, so we didn’t plan to go to the beach until Saturday. When we were leaving for the beach, we realized the key fob to give us access to the private beach was not present, leaving us with a 6 or 8 block trek to the nearest public beach access. We did receive a new key fob Saturday afternoon, but we still missed out on one entire day of the beach. Luckily we had the pool at the house. The host was quick to respond to messages.

You had 10 people at the property unapproved. You lost the key fob asking for a NEW one on day 2. You guys clogged the toilet. I mean what do you want me to say? We fixed everything we could in your short stay but, lying and being destructive/submitting a bad review? We have filed damage claims against this stay, hence the retaliation reviews. No words.

A Perfect Island Getaway!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this amazing house! The private beach club access was a real highlight. The beach itself is stunning—peaceful and never crowded. Getting there was a breeze thanks to the 6-passenger golf cart, which made trips to the beach effortless. The private access point is conveniently located right across from the island, making it super easy to enjoy the shoreline.The house is incredibly well-equipped for a beach vacation. There was no shortage of beach towels, chairs, and toys, all neatly organized and easy to load onto the golf cart. For those days when we stayed in, the house offered plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The backyard is fantastic with a heated pool that features a sun tanning ledge with lounge chairs and a relaxing jacuzzi. The outdoor tiki bar, complete with a huge TV, was perfect for winding down in the evenings. Plus, the bocce ball setup was a fun bonus.Inside, the garage was transformed into a game zone with a pool table and air hockey—great for rainy days. The availability of several bikes added another layer of fun, letting us explore the island at our own pace.This property truly has it all for a memorable getaway, whether you’re relaxing at the house or enjoying the beach. Highly recommended for families or groups looking for a blend of relaxation and fun.

Could be a 10/10 luxury stay

With a little TLC, this could be a 10/10 rental. Several kitchen cabinets were broken off the hinges, the overhead vent fan in the kitchen didn't work, the largest sofa was held up by wood 2x4 blocks so the couch slanted forward and we felt couldn't hold many people without breaking. Maybe a pot holder in the kitchen, a few more bath towels and more than 1 roll of extra toilet paper for 6 guests to stay are a sample of items that could make this place the star it could be. For example, a little more attention to detail to have sound bar and TV mounted evenly. Not a deal breaker on any of these items but added up it felt like we didn't quite get what we expected. We had an issue with the keys for the golf cart and beach but owner resolved quickly. We enjoyed our stay, loved the location and some amenities but for the price paid per night, not sure we would stay again. If those items were addressed, would be back again if in the area.

Worst stay

So on their policy it says events and small gatherings are okay. It also says you can have up to 9 people there and to only report the guests staying overnight. It also mentioned having a direct access to the beach (not true must drive golf cart there. The island theme is beautiful but in the master bedroom and guest bathroom the lining of the tub is moldy. They could also provide more than one towel being that there’s a pool and jacuzzi. The grill was dirty the cabinets were falling apart for the price per night is not worth the stay. And the host is very rude, I had a small birthday party people showed up to say happy birthday but only 6 stayed for games and food. We kept the noise down and all guest left except me and my other guests, can you believe i woke up to rude texts even than I ignored the rudeness and answered all questions just for the host to continue to be rude. I honestly wasn’t going to mention the minor flaws because i enjoyed by stay overall but because of the rude comments i had to say something the couch is literally held up by blocks never again thank goodness i booked for one night and other reviews have similar experiences.

Just Don't!!!

We were so excited about staying with friends in this rental. When we entered the property the kids were so excited to all share a room. We quickly realised that for the price, this place was 1 NOT 5. When we pulled the sheet down on the main bed we found food scraps and hair 🤢 the windows and doors were filthy. The oven is so grubby that as soon as we opened the oven door the fire alarm went off which then made us realise the window in that area doesn’t even fit the window properly… the kitchen cutlery draw had crumbs all through it and the kids feet were black within 15 mins of entering the property. We reached out to the host who said it was clean. We responded it wasn’t and needed to be rectified. He said if we leave that day we could have a full refund. So we madly searched around and organised all 8 of us and the luggage and left for a resort. The owner then ghosted us and once we said we would proceed with requesting a refund through the bank he started sending impolite emails calling us scammers. Thankfully VRBO came through and sorted the refund once we provided his message saying…..If you would like to leave today, you will refunded100% of your stay. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.…. We find this so concerning and seriously wonder how there are so many positive reviews. So if you’re considering this property, please reconsider if you want a clean property and positive experience.

SCAM GUEST. Property always gets 5 stars on all platforms/apps. Guset showed up late on Friday and stated the house was unclean. When we provided 36 photos of every square inch of the property, inside and out, with time and date stamps, they got quiet. We asked them, if there was an issue than to please send us a photo and we could rectify whatever it was immediately. They never sent anything....Its always funny when a place consistently gets 5 stars and honors then it recieves a 1 star to a random guest sandwiched between many other guests. Especially when they cannot even provide a photo to the host or VRBO. Stay away from this guest hosts.

Perfect location and very pro-family oriented

We actually had a bachelorette “party” here. I say party loosely because we aren’t a roudy bunch compared to most parties but we did have a noise complaint midday. There’s a noise ordinance that starts at 10pm but I’d say most neighbors don’t want you being louder than a normal backyard BBQ. With that being said, the house and yard are absolutely beautiful and I would definitely consider staying here with family instead of a friend group that wants music while being in the pool. The house came with everything: washer/driver and a bit of detergent, dish soap, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, kitchen supplies, pillows, comfy beds, blankets, extra blankets, board games, gaming consoles, two TVs, yard games, pool and hot tub with beach towels, beach supplies like cooler and chairs and toys and plenty of seating. Best part, a 6 seater golf cart to drive around. That was so helpful since our group didn’t have a car. It really felt like the owner thought of everything a family would need for a great time in a beach town. The fridge wasn’t hooked up to water so we had to buy our own ice and bottled water. There were some spots on the floor that gave but there was always a rug on top of it so it wasn’t a tripping hazard. The hot tube also never got hot but that could have been user error. We did not spend much time trying to figure it out. Overall we had a blast and would recommend staying here for family vacations!

Nice Place & Great Location, a few concerns...

A lovely, clean home in a great location! Wonderful having a private entrance to the beach within walking distance! Nice having the golf cart & beach items available for use! Seemed there wasn’t much attention to detail between guests: coffee in the coffee pot, no cover on hot tub and no vacuum in pool (as binder stated there should be). Didn’t affect our stay but let the owner know in case it was negligence of someone being paid to care for the property between guests. More significant things: a broken golf cart seat handle, missing Wii motion detector, outdoor bowling ball nearly split in half and filled with water, & game table with 2 broken supports that hold it in place (not usable). Despite following directions (press the button on the remote), the hot tub would not heat up after the 1st night using the controls. Slight concern that since the front door code was printed in the binder, it is not changed from guest to guest. When messaging the owner about some of these, he/she either didn’t acknowledge them (smaller things) or kept referring us back to the binder, which was not helpful. Owner didn’t seek to understand the problem at all but used a condescending tone that felt like we were the problem & a nuisance. No tone of hospitality/helpfulness at all. We were later notified we were being charged for the golf cart handle (we had informed the owner of) and the bowling ball. We tried to not focus on the negative communication and really did enjoy our stay!

Why they chose this property

Terra Mar is a single family neighborhood located on an island on the northwest end of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The neighborhood is located on an actual island with access for residents over a bridge and through a guard gate. Many of the residents have access to a private deeded beach club with a cabana, showers, grills, picnic tables and some pretty amazing shore diving.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Island Time! This gorgeous vacation home is beautifully decorated, balanced with indoor/outdoor relaxed yet tropical feel. The decor gives off a beach overtone yet modern. This house is perfect for family vacation or romantic getaway! Island Time is only a five minute walk to the neighborhood’s private beach. You can also drive to the beach by car or our Golf Cart, and park for free in the beach club’s private lot. Terra Mar Island is a very clean, safe and well-maintained upscale neighborhood. Just a mile south of Pompano Beach, it is just 15-minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale. There are grocery stores, shops, watersports, restaurants, bars and nightlife, including the beautiful Lauderdale-by-the-Sea town center, all within 1-2 miles of the property. The very nearby Sea Ranch Lakes Plaza has a Publix Grocery store, a CVS drugstore, a Dunkin Donuts and several other shops and restaurants. Guests can drive, walk, get an Uber/Lyft or just hop on the Pelican Hopper Bus (the free town shuttle) to and from the local attractions.
