This is our 2nd summer vacay at “our” purple house. It is perfect for families with kids. When they get tired or too sunburned from the beach, you can just walk minutes home to your private peaceful pool or hot tub. It’s located a In short walking distance to restaurants, ice cream shops and novelty shopping. The front veranda is great for playing early morning board games or just sipping on a cup of coffee before you start your day. Our grandkids were 4 & 7 when we started coming here and they absolutely love the purple house. We will be back next year!

The location to the beach is absolutely awesome. However, the house itself is very tired and not very well maintained. There was mold in both showers. The family room furniture was so dirty that we put down blankets. The doors are filthy. The banister was very dirty. The dresser in the primary suite is broken and we really couldn't use the drawers. They simply fall out. The gate to to the pool from the house was broken and we could not use. Although that may have been from the most recent storm. And the pantry doors don't close properly unless you carefully close them. All in all...we were very disappointed. The location is fantastic. On a positive note, the main bathroom had a leak so bad when someone was showering and water was dripping thru the family room ceiling. We contacted maintenence and they responded right away. So that at least prevented any further damage!

Absolutely beautiful property! Amazing communication with the host and the home is exactly how it is described. Super short walk to the private beach. You can definitely tell where the private beach ends and the public beaches begin. Tons of space on the private beach with umbrellas and chairs set up for you daily. The public beaches are body to body, packed with umbrellas. The private beach is clean and beautiful! The hot tub and pool are both very clean and well maintained. The hosts even gave ou family a 100 restaurant gift card because they set up a new patio table while we were there, which it was no inconvenience for them to set the table up at all, they just went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay and enjoy we definitely did! The beds are so comfy! We will definitely be back to Santa Rosa and stay at La Bella Vita for sure. Thank you for a magical vacation!

Wonderful stay

We loved so many things about this house…pool, hot tub, space for two teens and 10 year old and two adults. Our favorite thing was easy access to beach and chairs/umbrellas set up daily on the beach. Made it so easy to pop down to the beach at any time without having to lug everything. Would easily stay again!
