Bella Cottage | Elegant Beachside Retreat with Heated Pool, Steps to the Gulf

We stayed at Bella Cottage in 2020 and it looks as good as it did 5 years ago! Loved the upgraded Samsung Frame tv’s in almost every room. The location is perfect, walking distance to Rosemary and Peddlers. Our kids love the bunk room! Having access to a garage is great, and love the pool/hot tub.

Wonderful house, great location, steps from the beach!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Bella Cottage is a wonderful oasis at the beach. Beautifully appointed and close to everything. Bunk room on 3rd floor sleeps 6 and was perfect for the kids. Even had its own living room and TV! Kitchen had everything you’d need and the gas grill off the dining room worked well. Private pool and spa was a definite bonus. The 30A management team was responsive and communicated well. We will certainly return.

Overall, I’d give the property a three – 3 1/2 star rating. The pictures provided online looked great, but once in the property did not match. Furniture was missing, stove three burners weren’t working. Multiple shower doors didn’t close. But did have plenty of towels and toilet trees provided. Walk-in showers were missing tile grout, drain cover was unscrewed, calcium buildup in the corners. Would not pay a premium to be that close again if the pictures of the actual property had been uploaded online. But overall location was great. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen overall was missing half of the pots and pans utensils. No shades on upper windows on third floor or the door providing sunlight at 5:45 in the morning blazing heat in the afternoon. Ended up having to buy a sheet and additional pillows to cover the windows as best we could.

We loved everything- location, comfortable beds, large indoor and outdoor eating areas, and well stocked kitchen utensils and dishes etc. We enjoyed our own pool and the convenience of the community pool. We used the grill, bikes, washer and dryer etc.

Upon request, the management company responded immediately to repairs. Bella cottage is clean and maintained, but is in need of some TLC. The exterior steps and areas around the pool could use some pressure washing and landscaping could use some tidying up, considering the price of this unit. The master bedroom, though the thermostat is set on 68 stays warmer than the rest of the rooms and both my husband and I were very warm during the night. We had teenagers with us, and there is zero soundproofing in this house. They were upstairs on the third floor and we could hear everything on the first floor in the master bedroom. Outside of that, the home is lovely, the cleaning crew does a beautiful job of making sure things are nice and neat when you arrive and the location is exceptional!

The layout was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the multiple outdoor decks, pool and large living room with a big, comfy couch. Both the beach and the main shopping street were super close, which was wonderful. Definitely recommend!

The House was incredible! The beds were amazing and very soft. The whole house was very clean. I would definitely recommend this house. It’s close to the ocean and the shops.

Close to beach and restaurants! Such a perfect spot for a stay with friends or fam

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My overall review of the property is positive. The house was clean and in a great location. It was perfect for a trip for my daughter’s birthday. We had 3 adults and 7 teenagers. The loft was perfect for the girls. With the other bedrooms on the bottom floor we could not hear them. The management company was very responsive and helped with our requests immediately. The house was stocked really well except for no wine glasses. We also requested a cork screw which the management company provided. The pool and hot tub area was nice. Bonus that there are gates to the pool so no pool alarm in the house!Know before you go- The house does not appear to have been updated. It’s definitely showing some wear and tear. There is no icemaker which was surprising at that price point. The furniture in the living room is not up to Rosemary par. However, for our purposes the property worked great.

Reviewer Comments: We have rented in Rosemary Beach 3 previous times from you and all have been wonderful stays and each house was adequately maintained and well equipped to serve rental customers. Bella Cottage was not ready for prime time and we were shocked that your company would rent a house in need of significant items in order to be usable.Upon arrival we noted that the house had no broiler pans, had 1 pot, had 2 pans, had about 10 tops for pots and pans, had silverware and dishes for about 5 people, had 2 placemats , had window shades that did not work, had ants, had mold on entry stairs, had a shower that was stoped up in master, had a table in living room that needed repair and the house seemed to lack the general upkeep that we had evidenced in our prior rentals from you.Eventually almost everything was corrected but not before continual prompting from us. Someone needs to pay more attention to detail so that guests can enjoy their vacation or you should remove this house from the rental pool and remove the property manager.
