Does anyone have any info regarding the DreamBonaire house rental in Belnam? I think that it is next to Bel Mar Apts. and has a web site @ DreamBonaire.com I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who is familiar with it. Thanks. Alida

Have seen the deck area from BelMar and it looks nice. Have not been inside the house. They do use the dive shop at BelMar and there is a nice resturant across the street. The area is quite and laid back with lots of nice diving.

Thanks Andy. Can you tell me if it is the same house as the one on the Web site? We are about to commit on renting it for a few weeks and we wanted to make sure that we were not making a mistake. I did read some upsetting reports about crime ( in 2004 ) in that area. Alida

Having stayed in the Belnam area all 3 times we have never been subjected to any crime. Stayed at Happy Holiday Homes 1X and BelMar 2X's. It looks to be the same house as on the web site. I am sure others will chime in here with more info. You might try a direct email to some of those who live on island (like Jake, Tish, Ruth, or Ann) they may have a better idea.

I've stayed three or four times at the house next door, the other side from the Belmar. Belmar had its own security guard at night, so I think we benefited from that presence. We were never bothered, but then we didn't leave things out or the doors unlocked when we weren't up and around.

Thanks Holly. The owner tells me that the downstairs is vacant and that the patio is for the renters of the upstairs unit exclusively in the event that someone may be in the lower unit. I would assume that the second floor unit might be more secure as well.
