Bellamy's Retreat - Wake, Walk, Surf the Waves!

Thank you for the 5-stars and kind review, Alison! We’re glad you enjoyed Bellamy's Retreat and its beautiful beachfront. We appreciate the compliments as to the communication from our 979 Crew. We’d love to host you again!

We're delighted you experienced a wonderful weekend, Christy! Thank you for the 10 out of 10 and compliments. Our 979 Crew hopes to host you again!

Why thank you so much Gina! We are thrilled this place delivered your perfect beachside getaway. We would love to host you again!

Thank you for staying with us, and we appreciate the compliments to this home's cleanliness and location! This home does offer an RO drinking water system at the kitchen sink, but we will pass along your feedback to the owner regarding the whole home. We hope to host you again in the future!

Thank you for allowing us to host your beachfront stay, Lori, and we appreciate you noting Bellamy's Retreat’s super convenient beach access. It is quite awesome! You are correct, this is by no means a new home, nor does the listing description or photos indicate it is, nor does the rental rate. We’re sorry the home’s coastal condition (sun, salt, and humidity elements always doing their finest, as the honey do list never ends) did not meet your expectations - perhaps a home farther off the beach would be better for you? As the bunk room mattresses, we will certainly check those out, as we have not had any other guests mention them. Thanks again.

We're delighted you felt welcomed and appreciated this special seaside spot, Shanon! We hope to host you again!

That is wonderful news, and WOW, those photo memories are amazing! Thank you for sharing them and being such lovely guests to host. We look forward to having you back, Denise!

Thank you for the compliments to our Crew, and we're delighted your found this seaside location to be great for your and your group. We hope to host you again!

We're delighted to hear Bellamy's Retreat worked out so well for you and your group, Stacey! Thank you for the 5-stars and being such wonderful guests to host. We hope to have you back!

Wonderful news! Thank you for the 10 out of 10, compliments, and allowing us to host you. We would love to have you back again!

We're so glad you had a nice oceanside visit! Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay!

Thanks a beachy bunch for the 10 out of 10, Theresa Anne & group! We’re so glad you loved your summer escape—it doesn’t get much better than being just steps from the sand with your own private boardwalk (talk about VIP beach access!). Sounds like you made the most of those sea breezy balconies and well-stocked kitchen—we love that! Come back anytime for more ocean views, sandy toes, and front-row sunsets. We’d be thrilled to host you again!

Great news and we're so happy to hear it! It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your group. We hope to host you again!

It really is an amazing spot and appreciate you noting that, Donna. We're sorry you didn't enjoy your choice in homes more and never want that for any of our guests. Respectfully, no the photos are not altered, and in fact, many of the interior ones were recently taken on a basic iPhone. We are not aware of any broken or dirty furnishings and will certainly check them out. The washer and dryer, while a bit unsightly, are functional. Given our salty, sandy, and humid environment, rust is a part of our daily life and anything metal rusts in record time including appliances. The ground level deck and outdoor shower have since been addressed by this home's owner (your feedback being a helpful part of that), and we and they apologize for any inconvenience. Again, we're disappointed to hear you didn't enjoy your time more, but hope you thoroughly enjoyed the beach and that which comes with it.

Thank you for allowing 979 to host your stay in Surfside at Bellamy's Retreat and making the trek from WI! We appreciate the 5-stars, compliments, and we're delighted you got a great night's sleep!

Thank you for allowing us to host you, Janet, and appreciate the compliments to this direct beachfront home's cleanliness and our staff's communication. Given this home is right on the beach and near the surf, the exterior does take it's toll from the sand, salt, and humidity. However, we appreciate the feedback and will pass it along to this home's owner. We hope to host you again!

We'd love to have you back to Bellamy's Retreat, Amanda! Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments, and being such great guests. Unfortunately, yes, at times the Surfside water can be a bit odorous. We hope you do plan that return trip!

Why thank you so much Carlos! We're delighted to hear you and your family had nothing short of a 5-star seaside experience! We would be honored to host you again!

Thank you for noting Johnny & Nicole! It is never fun dealing with the aftermath of a storm like this and your flexibility and gratitude is so appreciated. You are lovely people!

Thank you for being such great guests to host and appreciate the 5-stars! Glad we could be of quick service on the refrigerator! We will pass along the compliments and feedback to this home's receptive owner. We hope to host you again!

5-star family beach vacation, great news Summer! Thank you for allowing us to host your stay at Bellamy's Retreat and appreciate the compliments, suggestions and tips for future guests. We would love to have you back again!

So glad the beach birthday was a fabulously successful one at Bellamy's Retreat, Joann! Thank you for allowing 979 to host your family's stay and appreciate the 5-stars, compliments and tip for future guests. We would love to have you back again!

Obviously this review does not go with this home, and we're sorry to hear you didn't appreciate the alternate home we offered more. It is actually a well-loved home, and we've never had any other guests mention either of those items. In fact, most guests love the huge windows which picture frame the sea. However, to each their own. And yes, the amount of rain and high tide made the home you originally booked impossible to access. Unfortunately something neither of us can control - Mother Nature at her finest.

Thank you for allowing us to host your direct beachside stay, Chris. We do hope you enjoyed this unique seaside spot location. As for the home's condition, we appreciate your feedback. Given the sand, salt, sea breezes and high humidity (great at the beach, tough on homes), there is always a constant running honey do list for all homes in this area, especially the ones direct waterfront. Since your stay, a roofer has been contacted. We were not aware of an issue with the couch nor there being a hole, but our maintenance team is checking it out.

Thank you for allowing us to host your stay John and group. We agree this is quite the special beachside spot and appreciate the compliments to our reservations team and staff. Given this scenic direct seaside location, the humidity, salt, and sand certainly add to the swelling and contracting of things like doors. That said, we're not aware of any of them not closing. Perhaps, you are not familiar with how the hurricane doors latch? There are actually instructions on the side of the door from the manufacturer. Maybe you missed that? Our staff would have been happy to assist, no problem. As for any uninvited buggers, we're sorry they were sneaking in. We will certainly check out any gaps. We appreciate the feedback. We and the owner take it seriously and are always working to improve our guests' experience.
