Great Hangout!

Our group loved the layout. It really was perfect for our two night stay. Cooking out downstairs with the mini-golf area and TV was our favorite. THE PERFECT HANGOUT!

Clean, spacious & beautiful!

My family has been using rental homes on Crystal Beach / Bolivar for about the past 4 years, and this is our favorite property by far! Bella Costa was close to the beach, and even had beach views from the balcony. The place was spacious and very clean, I loved the minimalist approach to decor so we could focus on family and having a great time. The vintage arcade game was a total hit for the kids! Can’t wait to book again next year!

Much Needed Family Vacation!

Our Family is spread out over a couple of states and Cherie the property owner made it happen for us! Everything from the booking, check-in and check-out was so smooth and enjoyable! It was clean, beachy/cozy, had everything we needed and more than enough room for our family! Close access to the sand was for sure a huge bonus for us!! Thank you again!! 10 out of 10 Recommend!!!

Beautiful beach home!

We enjoyed our stay over the spring break weekend. The home was clean and a short distance from the beach access. We brought our golf cart but there are several places to rent from as well. Host responded quickly and our teen kids enjoyed! We will be returning in the summer for another getaway weekend! Would highly recommend this property to family and friends!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The house location is so close to the beach. The layout of the house is ideal for a couple of families to stay. We will definitely make this house our place for soaking up the sun and enjoying some quiet time.

Perfect Cozy Beach House

Loved the view from the deck! Living room is great for adults and kids sharing a space with the double sofas. Bed was comfy and rooms are large. Big showers that are easy to step in and out of if you have children or older family. We enjoyed walking to the beach in the evening due to being so close!

Great place, everything we were looking for!

This was an amazing house! It had everything we needed, very clean and had a great “home” feel to it. The gift basket on the table was perfect! The kids enjoyed going through it. It was a perfect distance to the beach we could just walk - which was a big deal for my kids (ages 9 and under). We would definitely love to stay here again!

Perfect for Us

We had a fantastic time at this cabin. The owner is communicative without being intrusive, the cabin was clean & well-furnished, & the online description was a match. Even on the mornings it rained, and we waited for afternoon clearing, we had board games, WiFi, and YouTube TV to entertain us.

Amazing Home, Amazing Views

We had the best mothers day weekend! We checked in to a lovely gift basket from the owners and the decor was just to cute. We could not have asked for a better location. The house is just enough ( 1 street) off the beach but close enough to watch the wave crash over coffee every morning. We will for sure be back!

We loved staying at this property. The description and pictures are all accurate. The beds were all very comfortable and such a great floor plan. We had so much room! Easy walk to beach and the dollar store is at the end of the road. Also plenty of parking space for 4 SUV’s. I would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect Getaway!!

Beautiful 3rd row home with beach/ocean views. The property was clean and as expected. All the comforts of home. Great location in the heart of Crystal Beach. Only 1-2 mile drive to all the main stores. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The property owner (David) was easy to get in touch and was quick to respond to any question or concern we had. Overall, everything was amazing and we thoroughly loved staying at Bella Costa! We will definitely be back.

Perfect Quarantine Remedy!

We arrived on a Monday night and as soon as we pulled up we knew we had picked the right beach house. Bella Costa was clean, very spacious with two eating areas, a large kitchen and living room. The beds were all very comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. Everything was so nicely decorated. It made for that great beach experience and ambience we were hoping for. The outside sitting area was perfect for morning coffee with a view. Downstairs is a bar area where we hung out, made some drinks while watching tv. It felt like we were hanging out at a beach bar. The beach is very close to the house. Can’t say anything negative about it. It was the perfect way to forget about everything and just relax and have fun. We will definitely be back.

Perfect Getaway!

This house was everything we needed! We were a party of 8 and it accommodated us perfectly. House was very clean and well stocked with necessities. The location was amazing, as you're only 1 street away from the beach and have a nice view of the water from the front deck. We loved the bar area downstairs with TV. We had 6 sports-fanatic teenagers with us and that's how they watched their games while also playing games outside. My son actually commented on our drive down that we forgot to bring our Apples to Apples game with us, but when we arrived at the house, we noticed one in the game cabinet! What are the odds? Tons of board games to choose from. Communication from start to finish with the owner was wonderful. David was always quick to respond and very helpful. Check-in was a piece of cake and we were even able to check in a little early, as the house was ready earlier than expected. Without a doubt, we will be staying here again next time we need a beach vacation!
