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.

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!

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!

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 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!

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.
