Bella Terra is a beautiful motorcoach Community, not a resort. Landscape is beautiful and well maintained. If you are looking for seclusion and quiet time, this is the place. It is centrally situated with everything you need within 10 miles, including the beach. There are no pickleball courts and the pool is not heated. There are no amenities.
Unfortunately, the people who own there have a definite attitude towards renters. We were ignored by most even when we tried to initiate conversations.
The owner of the site we were supposed to rent from at the last minute had an “emergency “ and they called 5 days before our arrival to change our site. Classic bait and switch process. Our site was to have an outdoor kitchen, casita, and firepit and outdoor seating. Although we were provided that, we were not able to use the casita, the outdoor lighting for the kitchen did not work, and the grill was so filthy and rusted it was unusable. When we complained they told us that they hadn’t had time to clean the site. They came and took the grill apart and never fixed it. It had never been cleaned.
The site was also listed for sale and they wanted to show it while we were there. We declined. We had also had an arrangement with the original owner that he would give us a $150 credit towards electric. After checking out early, they charged my account for the electric used, making it necessary to call and get them to institute a refund.
We came with the intention of purchasing a lot but have since put this place on the back burner.
