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

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.

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.

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.

Family time for at Bell Point!

We had a wonderful week. Jane was the best, very quick to respond with questions or anything we needed, she even dropped off home grown tomatoes! Our guys fished and caught stingrays, a baby shark, and all of us enjoyed trying to catch the crabs! The neighbors were so friendly and everyone we met acted like they had known us forever. The sound isn't like the ocean so don't expect a huge beach or large waves. We were there for our Marines graduation (30 minutes from PI) and he has 3 brothers so the area was perfect for them, the girls enjoyed the sun, and the house was perfect and peaceful for all of us. If you want the large beach Hunting Island is one of the most beautiful beaches in our wonderful state and is only about a 20 minute drive, we enjoyed 2 great days there. Jane has a very informative book put together that tells you about the local history of the area ( quite a lot including movies made in the area) within the drive in and we were surprised how close the ruins and old school were. The fort was right next to us and our dogs got to enjoy it as much as we did, it was where they headed on every walk!! The younger adults even went to try and find the ghosts of Fort Fremont!! All in all we had a wonderful time with family and Jane made sure everything within her power made that happen, the whole family loved her. And I can't end without mentioning the grapefruit, lime, tangerine and fig trees at Bell Point I just wish they would have been ripe! Oh well hopefully someday soon another family will enjoy them!! A huge shout out and thanks to Jane!

Buyer Beware

This property is in need of some serious updating and cleaning. Upon entering the house we were hit with an over whelming smell of mildew and mold. Even opening all windows and burning candles could not get rid of it. Carpets and bed spreads were old and stained. We had a couple of roaches in the kitchen and bath. They have made updates to kitchen/living room area but baths are in dire need of an update or at least a thorough cleaning. At first glance the kitchen seems well stocked but when we tried to make a meal for the 8 of us there were no pans large enough. Some of the kitchen pans were rusted and unusable. Back porch, windows and exterior of home had a lot of green mold. Front porch hand rails were broken and detached. Back porch screens were pushed out and hanging. Exterior furniture was metal and rusted. Grill bottom was rusted through so only half could be used. We were there for our son's graduation from Parris Island and had planned a BBQ with other families at our home, we were forced to move the celebration to another family's home. After seeing the beautiful beach front home they rented for the same amount we spent we were even more disappointed. This home advertises that is is second row from the beach, technically true, but you must enter through Fort Freemont and find a hole in the fence to access small beach with mucky bottom. After this experience it is doubtful that we will ever use VRBO again.

Not clean

The house was nasty. We don’t think there were cleaners before we came. I contacted the host every day for 3 days about having the house cleaned or our cleaning fee removed, and she never responded. When we arrived there was a dirty rag and bottle of detergent in the washer. There was dog hair everywhere and the pillows and comforters were stained. We spent an entire day washing comforters and sheets. Would not stay again.

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.

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.

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.

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.
