Bella Vita: Huge Beach House with Incredible Views, Private Pool & Community Beach Access!

When we had problems with the AC & Wii they came the next day to fix it!

This is a magnificent property!

Really appreciated your responsiveness & patience, answering questions and addressing any concerns, from start to finish. I loved that you checked in with texts even while we stayed at the property, which gave me the chance to reach out about anything. You went over and above to provide me with kitchen utensils not already in the house. :) The house itself was lovely, spacious and everything was in great shape!!! It worked out wonderfully for us, with two young families with toddlers and grandparents, with plenty of room to spread out, quiet for nap taking on different levels, and excellent blinds/shades to block out the sun. We did need to rent baby equipment, like high chairs, cribs, and a beach wagon, for those wondering, and brought our own beach towels as they are not provided. Appreciated the good quality outdoor furniture on the balcony and pool deck as well. The grill worked great and it was so nice that it was already wired for gas to the house...easy to use. The pool was super clean, and loved the different levels, which again worked wonderfully for toddlers wanting to play in the shallow water on the wide first step down. The view from the house was spectacular, with a short (only 3 houses down) walk to the private boardwalk to the beach. Felt very safe with the coded beach gate, and drive through guarded gate. We were able to see the Claytons Beach Bar fireworks wonderfully from our balcony. The only thing that would have been helpful, was to have more extra blankets on hand, for extra warmth when needed or for cuddling on the couch. Because two families flew in, they couldn't bring extra blankets, and it felt chilly at night for some with the air conditioning on, because preferred temperatures were different for everyone. Did appreciate separate thermostats for each level of the house, and a separate laundry room which was used a lot! The beach in front was also lovely, we were within easy walking distance of Clayton's Beach Bar, and super close to Sea Turtle Inc and the Wildlife and Bird Refuge. Super convenient for what we wanted to do. Very nice to have the ice maker in the pool level kitchenette area, and extra refrigeration space upstairs and downstairs. We did lots of eating in, so that was super helpful. Would love to stay here again some day!

Rental equipment was clean and in great shape. Loved how the chairs had a strap to buckle them closed. Carrying things on the cart was so easy. Loved how it was waiting for us at the house in the side yard upon our arrival. Ordering the equipment was easy.

Our second time booking with SPI and this home. We could not be happier with the service, courtesy and the beautiful home we rented. God willing we will be back. Thank you SPI.

Very nice and as advertised. We would go back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It’s on the beach in a gated community with round the clock security. The home is wonderful with plenty of amenities. Rooms were large and beds were comfortable. Two complaints 1) zero water pressure if the washer is going and someone is trying to shower. The water in the master bedroom shower literally turned off to nothing and I had to wait until someone could go down and turn off the washer 2) the main floor stayed at 76 or higher the whole time with the front bedroom easily 80 most days. Lowe’s and upper floors were fine but the main floor is where the largest sitting place is and kitchen and dining are located.

Let’s start with the positive. The house was gorgeous, views were beautiful, everything you need in the kitchen, and the property was as described in pictures. The security at the complex is very good. There are a few things within walking distanceWould be nice if you didn’t have to use a rental credit to get beach chairs and gear and instead it was included with the property, at least a few pool floats.At the price point and this type of house, things should be tip top.The negative…water pressure was horrible especially on the third floor. There was black mold in the ground floor and third floor master showers. The ground floor had a bath mat and it and the shower floor were both caked with hair. The 2nd floor jack n Jill toilet barely flushed down anything. The bedrooms on the 2nd floor were so hot we had to use a fan to blow cool air into the rooms. The third floor balcony didn’t have any chairs. The dryer took forever to dry clothes. The ground floor bedroom carpet was stained and disgusting. There is a big hole in the 3rd floor toilet room where an access panel doesn’t cover the whole thing. The grill and griddle combo was really dirty and it looked like the grease trap hadn’t been emptied.The pool company came at 1 in the afternoon while we were trying to use the pool, had to wait a 1/2 hour before the kids could get back in. They should be scheduled in the morning not the middle of the day.A little disappointed the the cleanliness and condition of the house.

We had 6 in our family and it was perfect! So much space and great balconies.. Exactly as described. Beds & bedding were great! We loved the warm pool and hot tub The views are amazing and house layout worked out for our teens to stay on bottom floor next to pool. It was nice to be close to Clayton’s and restaurants in walking distance on the beach. We will definitely rent this house again!

House was amazing! We loved walking on the beach. And we even saw a Space X launch! The house was exactly as described in the listing. Everything we could possibly want was provided. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we had a great time! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time. The location was great. The house was beautiful. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. Beach walks and fishing and dolphins all great. Couple suggestions: more paper supplies, kitchen towels and washcloths needed, shower levers need work. They did not stay put when trying to use big shower heads. The terrible sewer smell in top floor bathroom. The grill outside was so filthy we could not use it, bummed about that. Could use a couple throw blankets for hanging out in the family room. But nothing that would prevent us from renting again. Thanks for a good time.

ALL FIRST CLASS START TO FINISH

The house was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay! We had lots of room for our group to spread out, and the location was great, with super easy access to the beach and both the north and south sides of the island. There were a lot of strict warnings and rules about the HOA, but we didn't run into any issues. Seems like they're really just trying to keep partiers out. If you're respectful, you won't have any issues. Loved the easy access to the beach, and the fact that we could reach a few bars and restaurants directly from the house, via a quick beach walk. Overall, a great property and would love to come back!

The property was lovely and the location was perfect!

Great house, quiet neighborhood, pool and hot tub was great

2 things off the top of my head. One, the pool area needs some landscaping love. There are weeds growing up between the stones all over the patio and along the sides. The pool area was so beautiful, but those weeds were a take away from the beauty. Also, the master balcony should have some furniture, no place to sit up there and enjoy the view. Oh, I almost forgot, the dishwasher could probably use an upgrade, it did not clean the dishes very well. Just a couple things, not major issues. Loved the house, the view, the pool! The location was AMAZING! Would definitely stay there again!

I loved this house it's spacious, cleaned and the decorating is beautiful, the views are wonderful I can't wait to come back

The house was beautiful and spacious. Perfect fit for our annual family trip. Have absolutely no complaints, would book again.
