We all enjoyed a restorative 4 days in a magnificent beach house whose panoramic view of the ocean was dazzling, especially in the morning. The lack of pressure from Cindy, who offered us our choice of level of involvement, encouraged my desire not only to edit but to rest! I did both, and actually finished four sections of my book. Cindy also offered a number of group sessions, including group writing periods… very helpful and encouraging. I look forward to any other retreats Cindy puts together, and I would gladly return to this site. I do think, however, that the owners should install a proper handrail going into the pool. Without one, i wasn't able to use the pool for fear I’d end up having to yell for rescue in the middle of the night… please correct this!

Writers at the Beach 2024 definitely lived up to its name. This was a fabulous literary escape! From the beautiful spacious house, inspiring beach views, and wonderful writing classes – I absolutely loved every minute of my experience. Wellspring certainly knows how to curate truly epic adventures.
