Good for Group Stay
Great house for a large group and a very friendly and helpful host. We had a group of 9 plus 2 pups in the house and there was plenty of space to accomodate all. Other than a minor issue with the hot water heater circuit breaker tripping once, no complaints. It should be noted we stayed in the middle of a winter cold snap, so that issue was probably weather related.

Gross and unsafe
The good: I appreciate the Christmas tree they had set up, and the ample seating around the dining table, but from here it goes sharply downhill. The house has a serious mold and rot problem, inside and out. The couches were filthy and the linens were mildewy. Missing smoke detectors in the main bedroom. I hope substantial work goes into this property before someone gets hurt again.

Great location, ample space
This comfortable and unfussy house had plenty of space for four couples (could have had one more) plus a large screened porch, outdoor seating areas, and a pool table upstairs. Kitchen is well equipped. There were missing or dead light bulbs in a number of fixtures; all of those should be checked by housekeepers before next rental. Overall, we would certainly rent this house again.

Bell Point - Very Disappointing
Mold, filthy, broken fixtures, and overall dysfunctional for a family of 6 or more. The property is NOT waterfront, and is actually in the middle of a RV Park...or so it appears. The property was filthy, stunk, and contained visible mold. The host tried to remedy the situation by coming by and cleaning, but we simply could not stay because of elderly & asthmatic health issues of two family members. We immediately booked a different property and left after staying ONLY one night because of travel exhaustion. We would NOT recommend this property.

Great
The place was everything we could ever ask for! We were all very comfortable and happy with our stay! The family even said they want to go back there next year! It is twenty three minutes from Hunting Island where our family pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We enjoyed the beach that was five minutes from there as well. We walked and collected shells.

Downstairs A/C
The house was clean and had plenty of space to accommodate my myself, my husband, and friends. The owner answered all my questions and check out was simple. The only problem we had was the downstairs A/C didn’t work properly as the common areas (dining room, living room, kitchen remained warm throughout our stay. The ceiling fan in the living room would only work on low.

Great rental price, accommodations, and location.
Perfect property for a family or friends gathering. The 6 members, including myself, had not been together as a group since our 50th HS reunion in 2016, and had a wonderful time reminiscing about our lasting friendship in a pleasant environment.

Great place for families
We had a large family with pets staying together for a mcrd graduation and this was a great option for us. The house was spacious and clean. Living room furniture was new, beds were comfortable. We made good use of the screened in porch as the evening weather was perfect for sitting outside. The kids loved the upstairs game room. The drive to the base didn’t take long at all. We walked to the old fort and explored as well as spending some time down at the water. We found one minor issue upon check in and the owner got back to us immediately. Met a couple Neighbors and they super friendly. Would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

Place Needs Some TLC
Overall location was great for our purposes and owner communicated rather quickly to several hiccups that occurred: smoke alarm going off when we arrived; lightbulbs missing from lamps; electric can opener broken & water heater fuse flipped so a few had col showers until we figured out the reason. We loved the fact that we could have the 3 dogs between us there but the cleanliness and age of furniture looked as though it accommodated the dogs more than the guests. The outdoor porch would have been a great addition but porch and furniture was very filthy and looked like tall needed a good power wash. The pool table had only one complete pocket so balls fell to the floor. The couches in living room desperately need replacing. Despite the above the location was perfect, the kitchen well equipped and homeowner very nice.

Bell Point is fabulous!
Our family gathered at Bell Point for Labor Day weekend, right after a hurricane passed through South Carolina. Yard debris was cleared even though we were there 2 days later. Jane communicated that there was power but no television. As we are a family of card/board games, and jigsaw puzzle workers, we certainly didn’t mind no TV. It was wonderful to have 2 coffee makers for 7 adults, plenty of space for us to game and share meals, well-stocked kitchen for preparing said meals. Plenty of space for each couple/ person to have their own bedroom. The neighborhood was friendly, and I highly recommend renting the golf cart to get around and explore, although the beach and Fort Fremont are an easy walk. We enjoyed exploring nearby Beaufort, and Port Royal. We also enjoyed reading the history of the area in the notebook provided by Jane. Bell Point was an excellent spot for our little family reunion.

2023 vacation
We loved staying at Bell Point. It's very clean, quiet and a comfortable place to stay. All of us felt at home. We had the pleasure of meeting the host of Bell Point the first day, she was quick to take care of any issues we had. My nephew is stationed at Paris Island we were able to visit with him and see the old fort just down the road. I would love to stay here again.

Good family time
The location is great, near good fishing, great seafood restaurants and it is a short trip to the ocean. Wifi is iffy but our main reason for the trip was family time so not a priority for us. The bed configuration was different than that posted on the website but the host provided an air mattress

Marine Graduation Week
Tons of space. We had 9 and could have easily slept more. House is a lot more spacious than the pictures let on. Kitchen well stocked with utensils,pots n pans, ext. If you are staying for. Marine graduation it is a solid 30 mins to Parris Island. Had no problem getting instacart deliveries. It is about 10-15 min drive to all stores.

Comfortable Space in a Tranquil Neighborhood
Our group of 9 adults and 3 dogs (one small, one medium, one large) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bell Point. The shared areas were spacious and we especially liked the size and layout of the kitchen. The screened porch was a popular spot and the backyard was a nice spot to enjoy the firepit and listen to the songbirds. My parents (mid-70s) found the master very comfortable and accessible and everyone else was very comfortable in the other bedrooms. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxed, we never heard any neighbors the whole week. While the DSL internet service was dependable during the day, it tended to lag in the evenings (likely because more neighbors were online). This was not a problem as it encouraged us to get out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed strolling the nearby beach and the egret/heron rookery a couple of blocks away at Land's End Pond. The Beaufort area presented plenty of sightseeing opportunities and Savannah was an easy day trip. We would definitely stay again!
