Waterfront Home at Bella Acqua – Heated Pool, Dock & Beach 5-Minutes Away

Welcome to Bella Acqua – Your South Florida Waterfront Retreat

Nestled in a peaceful Pompano Beach neighborhood, Bella Acqua is the perfect home base for creating lasting family memories. This waterfront home with a heated saltwater pool offers the best of both worlds: serene relaxation and quick access to South Florida’s top attractions. Spend your days lounging by the pool, enjoying breathtaking water views, or gathering for outdoor dinners on the waterfront patio—complete with a gas grill for easy entertaining.

Boaters & Water Lovers

Your boat (up to 45 feet) is welcome at our private dock with direct ocean access. A short 10-minute cruise through the Hillsboro Inlet takes you straight to the Atlantic—ideal for fishing trips, scuba diving adventures, or exploring nearby sandbars and islands.

Convenient Location

Just 20 minutes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, our home puts you close to everything. Whether it’s catching a game at the Miami Dolphins Stadium, testing your luck at the Hard Rock Casino, or exploring downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard, you’ll never run out of things to do. Yet when you return home, you’ll enjoy peaceful privacy.

Explore Pompano Beach & Beyond

Sun, Sand & Sea – Pristine beaches are only 5–10 minutes away. Try jet-skiing, parasailing, scuba diving, or hop on a glass-bottom boat to see South Florida’s colorful marine life.

Golf & Recreation – Pompano Beach’s popular municipal golf course is nearby, with an on-site restaurant and cocktail lounge for post-game relaxation.

Shopping – Browse high-end boutiques on Las Olas, visit Pompano City Center, explore the Galleria Mall, or hunt for treasures at the 800+ store indoor flea market.

Dining – From fresh seafood with Intracoastal views to local pubs and sports bars, there’s something for every craving. Prefer dining in? Several grocery stores are just minutes away.

Family Fun – Local parks are within walking distance, while short drives take you to the Museum of Discovery & Science, Butterfly World, Flamingo Gardens, and the unforgettable Everglades National Park.

At Bella Acqua, we personally manage our home and live nearby, so you can count on a welcoming, home-away-from-home experience. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, couples’ retreat, or boating adventure, our goal is to make your stay comfortable, memorable, and filled with the very best of South Florida waterfront living.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Great Place

Just as advertised. I have rented many properties over years and this was the first time the onwer reached out a couple hours after check-in to ensure everything was good. I really appreciate that call. We later met the owner who is very nice and accommodating with a great personality. The location was perfect, the house is wonderful, clean and stocked with everything you need. Even the neighbor was very friendly.

5 stars isn’t enough….

The house was clean and exactly as it was in the photos. The beach and essential stores are close. The canals behind the house were deep enough for our 22ft boat and provided easy access to the inlet. We had a great experience here and the owner was amazing! Really a top notch experience! We wouldn’t consider staying at any one else’s place in Pompano Beach!

Relaxing fishing stay

The house was exactly as advertised! More than enough of everything you would ever need. Bill even installed a fish cleaning table days prior to our stay when I asked if there was one on the dock! Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The pool was great to relax in after morning fishing trips. We brought our boat and the dock was perfect with bumpers that were actually usable at low tide. We will definitely be back!

Home away from home

For us, this was "home away from home" - a house that has everything you may want or need and gives you a good feeling on top of it. The owners keep the property meticulously clean and promptly respond to any question one may have. The fabulous swimming pool and view of a quiet waterway make the vacation feel in this property complete. You wish your stay would never end!

Beautiful home

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was super clean, plenty of towels and sheets and pillows (been to plenty of houses where there was only one for each person), the pool was fantastic and well used by our whole family every day, we even fished off the dock and caught a bunch of fish! The house was well stocked, I forgot a couple odds and ends but they were readily available so it was nice to not have to run out and get them and the fishing rods available to use were a huge addition! Plenty of beach chairs and an umbrella. There are plenty of stores and restaurants close by we were never lacking with something to do. Loved our stay there ans looking forward to returning!

Awesome vacation!

Thanks to Bill Lone who was very helpful through the entire process. He responded promptly to any calls or texts, and allowed to check in early. The house was very comfortable, and close to so many good restaurants, the boat ramp, the inlet and anything else we needed. Big swimming pool with a large covered patio area for relaxing after a good day of fishing. We had a great vacation, I recommend this property and plan to stay there again in the near future.

You can't get better than this!

The property and house are impeccably clean and well maintained! Nothing needing repairs, not a speck of dirt in the house. Check in/out is super easy. No need to go grab keys, return keys etc. Don't be worried if you have little ones with the pool. There are alarms on all the doors leading outside that sound if they are left open too long. We did not have little ones, but we did see things available should you need them. Ex: Highchair, umbrella stroller, kids fishing pole. Amenities in the home that make it even more comfortable abound. Games for kids and adults, beach chairs & umbrellas, cooler, beach towels for the pool, fishing poles to fish off the dock, and a good starter pack of pretty much any basics you may need until you can get to the store (which are extremely close to the property). They have little touches throughout the home that make you feel welcomed. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked often and never found ourselves in need of a pot/pan, plates, or utensils. The beds are quite comfortable with plenty of bath towels for use. The washer and dryer are very new models and come in handy when you don't want to pack a lot and need to wash clothes. The house is located on an amazing cul-de-sac in a very safe neighborhood. The veranda allows you to sit outside and be with family who are in the pool, but also be in the shade if you don't want to be in the sun. The fans above you while you sit under it, so you stay cool, are a nice touch. Although the pool is saltwater and you may think "ocean" taste and strong saltwater, it is not. It is extremely subtle. It also is not as harsh as chlorine, and we found it actually to be better. It was big enough for 3 adults and 3 older teens to all swim together comfortably. The location of the property in relation to restaurants, shopping, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and excursions is perfect. You are central to anything you may want to do. Bill is wonderful to work with and vested in your comfort and his property. He is only a text away making himself available for whatever you may need and is a wealth of information about the area. I cannot recommend this property enough. It absolutely exceeded expectations. It was emphatically approved by a 13, 15, & 16 yr. old. Teens never like anything! So that should tell you a lot!
