Bella Vista!! Exclusive Lakefront Getaway at The Shores-Resort Pool & Beach!!
Bella Vista at The Shores!! Landscaped Pool Complex with Hot Tub!! Gated with Private Beach!! Perfect Location featuring 2 Bedrooms and 2 FULL Baths!!
Bella Vista!! Yes!...what a "beautiful view"!! Take in the view of water and sky from this lovely 3rd-floor unit, which has three balconies (two lakeview, one tennis/pickleball court view), and is located in the highly sought after 'The Shores' beach front resort style condominium development. This complex, which is beautifully landscaped, checks all of the boxes! Gated community, heated lakefront pool flanked by small ponds with water fountains, lakefront deck, hot tub, beautiful private sandy beaches, large common firepit patio with a water feature wall, grassy yard space with picnic tables and charcoal grills, tennis/pickleball court, the list goes on and on!
There is no elevator in the complex, but you will be rewarded with the view from the top! Inside our 2-bedroom, 2 full bath condo, you'll walk into an open concept kitchen and immediately see past the living room to a view of Lake Erie out on the horizon. This is a clean, comfortable and well stocked unit. Consider this your "home away from home" just as our family and friends do. Pack your own toothbrush, food and beverages and leave the rest to us. This condo has central air conditioning and heat for your comfort - no window air conditioners or baseboard heat! We are located close to many attractions. For your convenience I'll list how many miles away Points of Interest are, but you just might want to stay here at 'The Shores' to just relax and enjoy the lake life...catch the sunrise colors with your morning cup of coffee out on the bedroom balcony, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, read a book poolside, nap on the lakefront deck while listening to the waves lap at the shore, dip your toes in the smooth silky sand on your very own private beach, enjoy a glass of wine up in the condo out on the balcony while watching sailboats sail off into the horizon as the setting sun paints the sky with a multitude of pastel colors. Dine in or go out to one of many of the area's fine dining or quaint and casual establishments. (Happy to offer suggestions - hints of cuisine preferences are helpful.) Then enjoy the rest of the night out on the patio by the fire where you can share your day's activities and plan your next day's adventure. This is a condo where you can relax! Don't miss it!!

Bella Vista was perfect for our girls trip! We loved this place and it was very clean and felt like home! The only complaint I had is I wish it had an elevator because you have to carry your luggage up several stairs. We will definitely stay again!
We brought our grandchildren to stay for a few days. They loved the pool. We discovered the other side of the lake/ beach access on our last night. Wish we would have found this earlier. The kids loved playing in the sand on this side vs the more visible side. The condo was great. Beautiful view of the lake.
Absolutely delightful. The condo was clean and even nicer than the photos. Everywhere we looked, there were thoughtful touches—examples were an umbrella hanging by the front door, the coffee bar with everything you needed, ice cube trays filled in the freezer, plenty of towels, even some snacks. And those are just a few; I could go on and on. In addition to the complex itself exceeding my expectations, our host, Amy, was fabulous to work with. Responsive, kind, accessible—what more could you want? This owner could teach a course in hospitality. If we decide to go to the area in the future I will definitely seek out this unit!
Absolutely wonderful experience! The condo is beautiful and clean and fully stocked! The host is friendly, responsive and super helpful. Our family of 5 truly enjoyed every minute of our stay. We ate breakfast on the patio every morning. Enjoyed family movies every night after a full day of exploring the islands. Port Clinton / Lake Erie is a perfect vacation to just get away, spend quality time with your loved ones and create amazing memories. Go to East Harbour State Park for runs/walks. Rent a golf cart when exploring Kelly's Island. Ride bikes around Put-in-Bay....you'll feel like a kid again!

Thank you for sharing your happy experience staying with us! I love that you were all able to enjoy breakfast together on the balcony each morning and had such a fun time here. We would certainly welcome you and your lovely family back anytime!
Our stay was awesome. Everything we wanted to do was a quick trip away and the pool on site was awesome. The kids had a blast at the beach as well on site!

Awww....you're such a wonderful guest. I'm so happy you like our home away from home. It'll be a pleasure to have you back again next year!
Our family of four stayed in July 2026. The condo was clean, spacious, and as described, with what appears to be new carpet. Amy was quick to reply to messages and the check-in process was clear. The beach at The Shores is even prettier than the pictures. The Jet Express is very close and made it easy to visit Put-In-Bay. As other guests wrote, this is on the third floor so be prepared for stairs. The beds were comfortable, but the master bedroom has an arched window that is not fully covered so the sun lights up the room early (eye masks would help.) We were disappointed to find signs on the firepits banning s'mores. However, the complex was lovely and well maintained. The pool and hot tub were warm and clean. There are several patios for watching the sunset. The condo had the essentials for cooking and laundry, with thoughtful touches such as the beach bag/toys and towels for outdoor use. We would highly recommend.
Positives:*Linens were clean. Extra bedding available. Towels were excellent quality *Host let us know when cleaners were done for early entry*Kitchen was stocked with much of what we needed, including a few snacks *Beautiful sunset view*Host was easy to reach and responded to every textNeeds improvement:*We found broken pretzels when choosing a book from the shelf. *There was trash under the chair closest to the balcony. *All kitchen items needed washed before using after finding hair or dirt on some. *Being on the top floor the temperature gets high. The thermostat was set at 71, but reached 78.

Hi Melissa,
Thanks so much for the feedback! I’m so glad you loved the sunset views, early check-in, and premium towels. Your positive experience means a lot to me!
We always want things to be perfect, so I appreciate you letting us know about the missed spots. We’ve already synced with our cleaning team to tighten things up, and I personally detailed the kitchen to make sure it's completely spotless moving forward.
Our upgraded AC generally handles even heat waves like we had during your stay quite well, but I apologize for any discomfort you experienced. I was relieved it was able to pull the temperature back down to a cool 67 degrees for you before too long.
I'd love to welcome you back anytime for a seamless stay!
Amy
Thanks for being a great guest. Happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay!
About the host

There's nothing like a vacation getaway! I care so deeply about your experience as a guest because I’ve been there! When vacationing with my husband and four kids I so appreciate when I can see lots of thought and attention has gone into our family’s stay. You can always count on the living spaces being comfortable and well stocked. And you can’t beat a waterfront destination! Some of my favorite memories growing up were hanging out on my Dad’s boat soaking in the sun while enjoying the wind and waves, not to mention heading over to Put-in-Bay, Cedar Point trips and days at the beach! I’m so thrilled to share this perfect Vacationland “homebase” with you and your family and friends. It’s my hope that you’ll make many lasting memories here while enjoying the amenities and grounds of this lakeview retreat plus the many ways to have fun around these shores and that your stay at The Indigo View will become a favorite of yours as well!
