Thoroughly enjoyed our stay…everything was perfect.

Everything was excellent. Great location, fantastic facility! We truly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great week at Bellview for our annual family beach vacation. The age range was 2 years to 82 years old. The house had room for everyone. The house was clean and as shown in the listing. The host was very responsive to questions/issues. My only disappointment was beach chairs were not included in this rental.

Pros: -layout was perfect for extended family to have their own space and places to congregate together -community itself was nice, quiet, and safe -it was as short walk to the pool and beach - when we had a problem the company did respond to us quickly. Cons: - the pictures on the listing are deceiving on the amount of wear and tear on the house. Walls, furniture, outside furniture, etc - there was mold in the showers, mold and standing water washing machine, sand in the dryer, sand and grit on the floors. -only one small outside rug which meant you tracked everything inside because you couldn’t wipe off your feet outside the door or inside either. We found ourselves vacuuming every other day. - not all large appliances worked: grill was in bad shape, dryer stopped working, and water dispenser on the fridge didn’t work. - you do not get enough towels to get your through the week. Most of the rooms got 2-4 towels and we only got 4 wash clothes total. When the dryer quit working and we requested more towels and wash clothes they did bring us enough for 8 people for the week. - you will need to bring your own or rent the chairs on the beach. The chairs they provided are for watching sports games, not the beach. It was very evident as they were starting to rust and turn colors. While we loved our stay at Carillon Beach and will return we will not return to this house.

This house offered plenty of room for our 3 generation family. Everyone had their space, from Grandma and Grandpa down to the teenager. We have stayed in Carillon several times before and love the location. Cleanliness was not the best. There were cheerios on the living room floor and a huge cockroach in the main floor bedroom. The living room rug had large rips in it, but I am sure it get a lot of hard wear. On the good side the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, silverware and cookware. The dining table is large but there were only 4 chairs and the 4 counter stools are too short to eat at the counter. We pulled the counter stools up to the table so our family of 8 could all eat together. Overall I give this property a score of 3. Location and size of house gets a score of 5.

I will start by saying the customer service and response time was impeccable. I had one issue with the lower two levels being fairly hot/muggy and they were able to (very quickly) lower the temp for me. My main complaint on this property is the cleanliness of the bathrooms. All of which were pretty moldy/mildewy; especially the master bath on the second floor. The other second floor bath/shower combo would not drain and was basically unusable. The water got knee high within minutes. One of the balconies apparently was never cleaned because many party items were left from the previous stay. The other complaint is the gardening around the property. It was so overgrown that you could barely get to the outlet to charge a golf cart. The other shrubs were growing all over the porch and railings and we were planning on using this space for wedding photos. I will say, I did not reach out for them to address the bathroom cleanliness because we did not have any free time.

Great deck and very good third floor. However all bar stools sit too low on first and third floorand the table on the main floor is kind of small. All that said, I would consider renting it again.

We had a quick trip, only 3 nights, and my only complaint was the weather which is out of all of our control. The house was great and super spacious four our group of 11 people and 2 pups. Great spaces to hangout and just have some downtime! Highly recommend.
