Exactly as described with the added benefit of lovely owners who could not do enough. Being on the beach was amazing and with the property being on a private estate there were very few beachgoers All the amenities you would expect from a 5 star property. We would come back here in a heartbeat

Amazing
This is the second time staying at Bella Vista with a six year gap in between. Always a bit nervous about revisiting a property, but we needn’t have worried. It was every bit as fantastic as last time - fabulous welcome pack, wonderful, friendly hosts (who can’t do enough for you) and everything you need for a stay. Don’t pack beach towels, loads to choose from. Dont pack tea & coffee, lots of machines and coffees to use. Right on the beach so the seven year old was in her element, as there are large sandy areas at low tide. Thank you Davis family. It was another fantastic stay!

We had the most amazing 3 nights at Bella Vista and Paul was there to greet us and show us around. There was a fantastic welcome pack (the best we've ever had) and 8 lemon possets freshly made in the fridge. The apartment has absolutely everything you could possibly want/need and the views are to die for. Such a relaxing venue and we will definitely return.

Our family loved the house. SO well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen is a dream. And then: THE VIEWS. Even better than the photos. Incredible. But what really sets this stay apart is the warmth of hospitality and responsiveness of the hosts. Can't recommend Bella Vista highly enough!

Wow. Amazing property
The location was just wonderful, right on the beach! The owners and check in was so warm and kind we were delighted. Paul was so helpful and the welcome pack was the nicest we have ever had, including a home made Tiramisu which was the best I have ever had. The standard of the property and furnishings is exceptional. There is everything you could possibly need catered for. We came here as a family group for my daughter’s wedding and this house was just a wonderful addition to an all round fabulous stay. Thank you to Paul and family. I would highly recommend you stay here.

Fabulous 4 day holiday
8 of us went away together for the first time after knowing each other for 40 years. The house was perfect. They made the beds all into twin beds for us. They left a thoughtful welcome pack of goodies too. The location was exactly what we wanted. We were able to walk to The Bluebird Cafe on arrival for lunch, walk out to 2 other breakfast cafes, order an Indian dinner from the town and walk to a lovely Sunday lunch place called Seaview. We would definitely return x

Perfect beach property
Just returned from our fourth stay at this gem of a rental property where stepping out of the door straight on to the beach is a joy.
Its beautiful living area, comfortable beds and a comprehensively equipped kitchen make it perfect for a relaxing break with friends or family. The hosts are charming and on hand should the need arise and there is parking immediately outside. The property is located on a private estate which extends along the shore for a considerable distance. As a result the beach with its wide expanse of sand at low tide is never crowded.
We have enjoyed staying in winter when it is a cosy refuge after a bracing beach walk, and in summer when the living area's bi-fold doors open up the property to sea air and sunshine and the outside seating comes into its own.
