My stay was incredible! The hosts were friendly, helpful, down to earth, and all around a great couple. The property was beautiful and very clean. The location is second to none with so much within walking distance. I’d venture out for the day whether to the gym, a walk, the beach, or to shop and dine and would be so happy to end each day at this hidden gem. I felt safe, relaxed, welcome, and a world away from the daily hustle and bustle. I look forward to staying again. Bella Vie truly lives up to its name!

Our stay at the Whimsical Paradise

Had a nice stay at this property. Doreen and her husband were very nice and the location is convenient to downtown Delray beach. The only thing we were disappointed with was the pool. Thought it was actually a pool, not a pond shape pool that was small in size.

Delray Arts District Compound

Doreen has a wonderful property, with this second floor unit particularly nice. Private and well appointed. Its just far away enough from all the fun things, which are a short walk, but very quiet at night. I'll be coming back soon hopefully

Love Whimsical Paradise.

We loved staying here. The unit we stayed in is a studio but very spacious. It is located in a great neighborhood and is centrally located, a few blocks from Atlantic. The garden is lovely with many seating choices to read, listen to the birds, or just enjoy. It is a very quiet neighborhood and great for taking a walk. The hosts are responsive, friendly, and lovely people. The best hosts we have had since renting in Delray. Thank you Doreen and John for making our stay enjoyable. I hope we will be able to return next year.

Great location, great property, nice tropical feel

We loved it ! Clean and well appointed. We had a late check in and Doreen was very accommodating making sure we knew how to get in. The place is just off the main drag of Del Ray, Atlantic Ave. Just a five minute walk to all the restaurants and shops. We stayed on the second floor, it was lovely to be up in the tree canopy. Beautiful palm trees, lots of plants and furnishings around the property which is tidy and well kept with a few tucked away spots to hang out and sit. Very nice common area with a small byob bar which we didn’t use but would be fun when we return with a group of friends. Has a nice tropical feel through out. Highly recommend staying here.

Perfect 2 weeks in Paradise

Upon arrival, there was a greeting posted welcoming me to “Bella Vie”. Once you meet Doreen and John (the owners), you will feel their sincere hospitality. They also surprise you with some delicious treats including home made Key Lime pie, baked by John. Best Key Lime pie I ever had!!!!I stayed in the “Key Lime Suite”which is decorated with work from local artists. Every photo of both the unit and outdoor space posted by the owner is accurate. Waking up each morning with pleasant sounds of bubbling water from the fountain to the birds and swaying palms was truly special. I always looked forward to sitting on the deck (right outside my door). Walking around the well manicured property with colorful flowers and well adorn art work was a treat! By the end of my 2 week stay, I was totally relaxed and did not want to leave!By the way, the location is excellent. If you like to walk, no car is really needed. Publix & Walgreens are less than a half mile away. Walk about 2 blocks further north and you find CVS & Chase Bank. While restaurant options are on Atlantic Ave (just 1 block away),there are restaurants right around the corner on 2nd Ave.. Of course “Arts Garage” is less than 2 blocks away. Coming home in the evening you will find Bella Vie with lights on all throughout the property. It is evident that Doreen and John have a passion for what they do. They are approachable and always willing to assist in any way. The name says it all! “Bella Vie”- “A Beautiful Life” A Biento

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!Doreen and John were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. They went above and beyond by accommodating our son as an additional guest and even provided an air mattress for him, which was greatly appreciated.The outdoor space was absolutely stunning. The beautifully maintained gardens created such a peaceful atmosphere, and the pool, which looked like a natural pond, was the perfect place to relax and cool off on the hot days. The tiki bar was an added bonus, offering plenty of shade and a great spot to unwind.The room itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for our stay.Overall, Doreen and John made us feel right at home. It was a fantastic experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend their property to others. We would love to come back again in the future!
