I lived here a year ago, and most of the 1 star reviews aren't inaccurate to the reality of living here. If Bellamy wasn't the cheapest place to rent from in the area (if you choose the cheapest option) it wouldn't be worth it. But honestly outside of their market being a little deceptive, if you get good roommates, it can be a decent place to live. Maintenance is pretty receptive and timely and the gym equipment and free printer services are usefel and better than comparable apartment complexes in the area. Those who work in the office do have an attitude at times and have been a little rude and condescending but there are some who are friendly as well. Also if the gate was a selling point for the community for you, know that for more that 3/4 of my time there, the gate was not working and anyone could get in. They bank alot on college students living here since they know we wont complain as much about the facilities will pay rent regardless because for most of us, its just money from a loan. If your trying to spend as little money as possible Bellamy is ok, but better services can be found at similar prices throughout Daytona and Id suggest giving those a try because Bellamy simply wants your money and will continue to be a mediocre place to live as long as they have it. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS UNETHICAL AND UNPROFESSIONAL COMPLEX!! Run as far away and as fast as you can. This entire operation is a scam. Leading Managers turnover every three months. All office staff are rude, Jada, Claudia Murillo, Amari, and Dezerin Grayer. They can force students to move out with seven days' notice. If you happen to be home (1,000 miles away) for the summer, they will move your belongings for you and charge you, never even giving you a chance to fly down and do it yourself because they give you impossible timeframes. This is not a rent issue. My daughter's rent and bills are paid to date and have never been late. They only notify co-signors via email when it's convenient, otherwise they only email students so they can bully them. When there are two people on the lease, ALL parties should receive ALL correspondence. They switch apartments after they are assigned on a signed and executed lease. Then when you call relentlessly, they dodge calls and become evasive. They only get away with this because it's Florida and they are dealing with students. Never again! And the positive reviews here are fabrications from the students that work there and are asked to leave a positive review. read more

HORRIBLE PLACE!! DO NOT EVER RENT HERE!!!! This place is the biggest rip off. My son had to wait months to get a dryer fixed. Then for four months straight we were charged an extra $25 a month for renters insurance. My son had renters insurance that never lapsed. Bellamy claimed he never uploaded the renters insurance documents correctly. After four months of my son uploading the renters insurance documents each month and four months of Bellamy charging an extra $25 a month they said he finally uploaded the documents correctly and said that even though the policy showed coverage for those months and no lapse in coverage they couldn't reimburse the extra $100 they charged. The property manager was condescending and rude. Avoid this place at all cost. Your child will be miserable. read more

This was by far the worst apartment I've ever lived in. From day one, it was a nightmare. The unit was infested with roaches--constant sightings in the kitchen, bathroom, and even the bedroom. No matter how clean we kept it, they never went away. It was obvious that pest control was not a priority. The floors were warped and soft in multiple spots due to water damage that had clearly never been addressed. The smell of mildew was constant, and to make things worse, the entire apartment reeked of weed most of the time. The smell came from the neighbors and would seep in through the vents and walls, making the place feel dirty and impossible to air out. The property manager was completely useless--nearly impossible to reach, and when they did respond, they were dismissive and unhelpful. The only saving grace was the maintenance team, who were friendly, professional, and genuinely tried to help. Unfortunately, their efforts were undermined by poor management and a severely neglected property. At the end of the lease, they did warn us that several utility charges would be billed all at once--but getting hit with three months' worth in one go still felt like an unreasonable and poorly handled system, especially after everything else we had to deal with. Bottom line: this place is a mess. Between the infestation, the smell, the water damage, and the lack of management support, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Avoid if you value your health and peace of mind. read more

My daughter was a resident here. The layout of the apartment was very nice. Each room had its own bathroom and the suite mates shared the living space ( kitchen, living room and laundry). My frustration was with maintenance: the hallways between each different apartments was always sticky and covered in trash. ( no inside each apartment but between apartments in the buildings) When it was time to move her out (her other roommates moved out a few weeks prior to her) I went down to help her pack and move. We cleaned the entire apartment ( see photos below). About a month later we get a bill for $800 for "extremely dirty" Thankfully I had pictures as we exited the apartment. After several back and forth emails they proceeded to tell me that behind the couch had damage to the wall ( the only picture I didn't have). I understand that most college age young adults aren't the cleanest- and believe me, if this had been my sons apartment I'm sure we would have owed more. Her roommates that moved out prior to her didn't get changed a cent. because they didn't come assess until everyone was out. I recommend taking your own photos prior to move out. It's a slimy way to extort more money from young college age students and the families. read more

I am a college student that was looking for an apartment that I could immediately move in within a week. I made the mistake of choosing the Bellamy due to the time constraint. By the time my list of issues started to stack, it was too late, and I had no other options. That's why I'm writing this review, to prevent you from buying into the facade the Bellamy leasing agents paint. - RENT: I first received a lease for a 4x4 with the rent of $759. This later changed to the 5x5, and I signed a new lease for the 5x5 with the past rent of $759. I didn't realize until after I signed that the price for the 5x5 was that of the 4x4 on the lease and $739 was quoted on their website. I was then told that because it was a lease takeover that was the price of the previous lease and they couldn't price match the website. This was most likely an excuse to get me to shut up and pay more rent, as I find it impossible to believe the lease the previous tenant signed from a year ago was more than the price today. - ONBOARDING: When I came at 10am Monday morning to get my keys and was signing paperwork, I noticed they tacked on $40 on top of my base rent. The line item for this was "guaranteer waiver" because I didn't need to enlist my parents to co-sign. Despite pushing back and explaining I met the 3x income requirement, the leasing agent claimed it was mandatory without a cosigner. Did they ever care to check my paystubs to verify I met the income requirement to live here? No. Did they ever check my student ID? No. In fact I've met multiple people at the apartment complex who are not students. - ROOM: I took the pictures attached to the review right when I walked in, shocked that I had been the victim of false advertising. The floor was dirty, I was missing a mattress in my "fully furnished" apartment, and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting, it even had blood on the toilet seat. Despite this I had to start my WFH job in a few hours after receiving the keys - I didn't even have time to go back to the leasing office and get the mattress sorted, as I could barely set up my desk for work on time. I had to spend my first night as a Bellamy tenant at the Super 8. - ROOM RESOLUTION: The next day after being well rested from my stay at the Super 8, I went to the leasing office to get a mattress for my "fully furnished" apartment. After explaining to the property manager there was no mattress, I didn't receive an apology. Instead, I was informed that normally parents buy their kids nice mattresses so the Bellamy doesn't include them anymore since staff were moving so many mattresses out of rooms. That's great! Good for those kids. My parents weren't going to buy me a mattress, however upon learning about the living conditions at the Bellamy they did pay for the room at Super 8 as they didn't want their kid sleeping on a dirty hardwood floor. The property manager was able to accommodate taking an old bed from a vacant apartment and moving into mine, as well as having the bathroom cleaned. The website has since been updated to explicitly mention no mattress will be provided, despite that being an oxymoron to being "fully furnished." - TRASH: Immediately my first impressions of the apartment buildings were they were dirty, there was crud on the floors, walls, staircases. Lining the staircases are an array of spare cups, forks, Chick-fil-a, you name it, you could probably find it in one of the Bellamy hallways. In addition to crud and miscellaneous pieces of garbage, trash bags lining the halls are a staple of the Bellamy. In fact it's on of the advertised features, "valet trash." Despite that, not matter what day it garbage constantly lines the halls. Currently, even with me being upstairs, clients on the phone can hear noise coming from downstairs due to the thin walls and vents above all the doors. My roommates just having a good time has lost me business because of the cheap construction of the building. If you are a prospective tenant: find somewhere else. The pictures online are that of a show room, not reality read more

I lived here over a year,and it was a wonderful experience. The people in the office were very friendly and welcoming. Rent is very affordable, if I had to rent somewhere again I'd pick Bellamy Daytona read more

I have lived at Bellamy for a year now and have enjoyed it. The apartment has a full washer and dryer and my room mates and neighbors were awesome! read more

If I could give them less than 1 star I would because of management. I agree with the other parent, Danielle H, who wrote a review. My daughter was a resident there as well. They talk a good game but once you sign the lease, everything changes. Brian was the manager when she moved in. When she moved in, the kitchen was so nasty, she refused to cook in it or put food in the refrigerator. We spent a ton of money on fast food just so she could eat. The mini blinds in her room were also broken My daughter kept getting the run-around whenever she went to the office. He was always in a meeting. I called several times to have these issues resolved but did not get any satisfaction. I made sure she took pictures of what the apartment looked like when she moved in and sent them to Brian hoping to get the repairs done and the kitchen cleaned. One day she called me from the office so I could talk to him. He walked into his office as soon as he saw her. She was told by the young lady at the desk that he was on a call. He had the nerve to call the front desk and pretend that he was on a call with someone else. He did not get on the phone until I told the young lady that I wasn't hanging up until he got on the phone. I informed him that I was going to be there that weekend and I'd better see some results. Nothing was done until I drove hundreds of miles to Daytona to see him in person. Unlike the other tenant, my daughter moved out before the other roommates. However, being the responsible parent, I made sure her room, her bathroom, the kitchen, and the living area were clean before we left. Months later, I received an email saying we owed money for damages. Sometime during the year they got a new manager named Shawn. He was worse than Brian. He has a nasty attitude and should not be allowed to manage anything. He tried to tell me that we did not clean the apartment. We left the apartment in better condition than we found it. They're cleaning crew did a piss pour job of cleaning the room before she moved into it. They did not paint the bedroom before she moved in so there were chips in the paint as well as stuff stuck to the wall. Like the other parent, we took pictures of all of the damages we found when she moved in and also took pictures before she left so they could see that nothing had been fixed. We sent the moving out pictures to Shawn. Per his request, we also sent him the pictures that were taken when she moved in. He tried to say she damaged the walls in the bedroom. We pointed out again that the damage was there when we got there. Then we were told that she took over someone else's lease. That shouldn't matter. She didn't damage the walls so we weren't going to pay for it. He claimed the living area wasn't clean. When she moved, the other roommates were still living in the apartment. My question was: How can you charge me for damage or dirt that was not there when my child left? When I refused to pay, he threatened to report it to the credit bureaus. Another thing that bothered me was the trash in the hallways. Valet trash does not work for this complex. My child had to wait out raccoons on the porch because either trash wasn't collected yet or tenants put trash out after the collection time. Just nasty! The management of this apartment complex preys on college students because they figure they don't know any better and are happy to be off campus. However, I refuse to be swindled. Do not move into this apartment. The apartment itself is nice, management is horrible! read more

Lived here for about 11 months while getting a degree at the nearby university. Owning an animal at Bellamy is not recommended. The other residents currently living there never pick up their dog's waste. There is always trash in the parking lot. Frequent marijuana smokers on the stairwells and inside the apartments. The apartments share ventilation shafts, having a neighbor that smokes inside means you will be forced to intake the smell and smoke. Office staff will inevitably try to add on an excess fees up to a month after your move out date totaling to hundreds of dollars. DO NOT RENT HERE. read more

Terrible place to live I wouldn't encourage anyone to move here. Especially as a first time student

Have had no AC for 2 and a half months, inside temperatures are around 85 degrees and the humidity is also in the 80%s, dishwasher was broken, then 'fixed' causing it to flood the kitchen every time it's used, the dryer doesn't spin or release heat, making it a useless fire hazard. Maintenance will walk in for 30 seconds, then mark the request as completed without actually doing anything productive. We have been told the parts are ordered, they are looking for the parts, the parts are waiting to be shipped, and the parts are on shipping hold, yet still absolutely nothing of value has come of it. All coming right after mine and 6 other cars in the parking lot got broken into because they are too incompetent to put up cameras or secure their property (even with a gate that is broken 2-4 weeks of the month). They know they are dealing with college students and will do what they can to screw them over. Messaging them through the resident portal gets ignored, instagram comments get deleted. Avoid Bellamy at all costs. It's not worth the headache read more

I have had a really great experience. In my opinion the people that reviewed before are probably just bitter. The staff is really nice. I get constant communication. I hate that the other people that live here constantly hit the gate - the staff fixes it and then boom. broken. I have literally watched the maintenance lady pick up trash and then someone stared right at her and threw the trash out of the car on the ground and rolled up the window. It's not the staff that is the issue, it's my fellow classmates. I literally hate that they are like this. I wish those people would just get kicked out. The manager is always smiling, lately he seems just tired and doesn't say hi like he used to. I totally understand and can't blame him. I think I see him on the property walking around, picking up trash, he sometimes has a power drill, and he has delivered my packages to my door. So, yeah, I think with everything he is doing, and I probably don't know all of the things, I would be tired too. You are doing awesome Shawn and I wish I could renew. I always tell people about Bellamy - Onshore was party central and Eagle Landing has all the ERAU students but there is no color there, if I wanted to constantly be in surrounded by snow, I would've gone and live in Antartica. Anyway, I enjoy the shuttle. I wish that there was better furniture in the pool area - you suck Hurricane Ian for messing up the pool area and I wish the gym had better stuff. I like the events when they are having them. It is cheap and a good experience. read more
