Steps from the Ocean

This is the best location we have found on 30A and we have been coming for years. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with a private neighborhood beach, and it is less than 50 feet from the sand without the insane beachfront price. Management was wonderful and easy to communicate with. We loved our vacation. Thank you so much!

This beach house was perfect for our family reunion! We loved having the beach access so close , just steps from the front door. Another great feature was having bathroom for every bedroom! The large porch was wonderful for morning coffee gatherings. The only caveat was the basement bedroom was not on par with the other bedrooms. We are all in our 60’s, it is perhaps better suited for younger adults. Overall, we loved this property, and will return! Tracy G

2nd stay

This was our second stay at this fabulous home, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The proximity to the beach is impossible to beat. Just a few steps from the driveway and your feet are in the sand, which made it so easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and in such an amazing location. We loved every minute of our stay and would absolutely come back again. Thank you Beach Luxury Vacations for another great vacation at this home.

Highly recommend! 5 Star

We had a wonderful stay at this home and would absolutely book again. The location was hard to beat — across the street from the easy beach access (no stairs) while still tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood without all the heavy traffic and crowds. Having the private neighborhood beach access was a huge bonus. Especially with all of the provided beach equipment. The house was very clean and comfortable and had plenty of space for our family to relax after long beach days. We also appreciated how convenient the location was to restaurants, shopping, and activities around the 30A area. Stinkys Fish Camp is one of our go to favorite restaurants in the area and we love spending time at Gulf Place. Communication with Beach Luxury Vacations was excellent from start to finish. Check-in was simple, questions were answered quickly, and the entire process felt smooth and stress free. Highly recommend!

Location, location, location

The location could not have been better. The beach access is right across the driveway, making it incredibly easy to walk back and forth throughout the day even for the older crowd. It was so convenient to run back for lunch, grab something we forgot, or take a break from the sun. The house itself was very clean and very well stocked. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely book Bella Vita again for our next trip to 30A.

Large comfortable home

Large home that was perfect for our large family vacation. The apartment and carriage house gave plenty of privacy for our adult kids and their significant others while the main house served the purpose of our family dinners after a day at the beach, family game nights and lots of laughter. We absolutely loved the home, the location and how clean and comfortable it was.

House was perfect for our family. My daughter and son in law with my 18 month old grandson was able to stay in the carriage house and give them the privacy needed while the rest of the family stayed in the main house. We was slighted disappointed that the downstairs bedroom was not connected to the main house but it worked okay for my in-laws because they like getting away from the crowd sometimes anyway.
