Bella Vista Big Beach Stay Waves and Sun All Day

Summary:
Bella Vista is a beachfront escape in Gulf Shores built for laid-back luxury and nonstop good times. This 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom retreat sleeps 22 guests and features a fresh remodel with stylish décor, a private LED-lit pool, and a theater room for ultimate relaxation. The Gulf-front deck and private boardwalk put the sand just steps away, while an elevator, spacious kitchen, and multiple suites make group stays a breeze. Get ready for the ultimate Gulf-side getaway!

The Space:
If you're looking for the perfect mix of luxury, comfort, and straight-up good vibes, Bella Vista is calling your name. This epic 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom Gulf-front beach house in Gulf Shores has room for 22 guests, making it the ideal spot for big family gatherings, reunions, or that dream beach trip with your whole crew.

Recently revamped from top to bottom, Bella Vista is decked out with fresh décor, new flooring, stylish furniture, and even brand-new beds and mattresses—because nothing beats a solid night’s sleep after a long day in the sun. The theater room is ready for movie marathons, and the LED-lit private pool (with optional heating) is perfect for those sunset swims. The updated deck is just steps from the sand, giving you easy access to that salty Gulf breeze anytime you want.

Located on West Beach, this spot is a dream for beach lovers. A private boardwalk takes you straight to the sand, and you’re within walking distance of West Beach Pass, where the Little Lagoon meets the Gulf—a stunning, photo-worthy stretch of coastline. During peak summer months, you’ll even have daily beach chair and umbrella service waiting for you.

Getting settled in is a breeze with covered parking and an elevator that makes unloading luggage and groceries effortless. The first level is where you’ll find a Queen bedroom with a full bath, the theater room, and the massive open living and dining area. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with all the essentials, including two refrigerators, two dishwashers, and all the counter space you need.

Up on the second level, the Gulf-front master suite serves up epic views, a king bed, and a spa-like bath with a garden tub and walk-in shower. Another Gulf-facing king bedroom, a queen bedroom with a private bath, and a custom-built queen-over-queen bunk room with personal TVs round out the space. There’s even a washer and dryer in the hallway for easy access.

The third level keeps the beach vibes rolling with another Gulf-front master king suite, another king bedroom with a full bath, and a bunk room with four twin bunks, each with its own TV and private bath—the ultimate hideaway for the kids or the young at heart.

Beyond the house, Bella Vista is stacked with top-tier amenities. The private pool is perfect for post-beach dips, and the outdoor shower keeps the sand where it belongs. The beachside deck and private boardwalk make Gulf access easy, and with a second-floor wheelchair-friendly bath, everyone can enjoy the fun.

Bella Vista isn’t just a beach house—it’s a vibe. Whether you're surfing, sunbathing, or just soaking in the views, this spot was made for memory-making. So grab your flip-flops, pack your shades, and get ready for the ultimate Gulf Shores getaway.

Perfect spot!

There were 22 in our group and we all loved this place. We were able to get in early which was a huge help to those arriving early. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed including two crockpots, two coffee pots, two refrigerators, and two dishwashers. The place was very clean and comfortable. I think the most important thing for us was that the home was well equipped for our very large group including the elevator to get all our stuff up and down the three floors.

Fabulous for families

This property is exactly as advertised! It is very unassuming on the outside but once you get inside very modern and nice. It has 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators which was fabulous for cooking and clean up every night. The pool was great (thanks Robin from the management side on all your help!) and the walkway to the beach made it so easy to go back and forth. We used this for 3 families to vacation together and we would come back here anytime!! Highly recommend!

Great Location

Great property we loved the location and felt the kitchen was well stocked . Our only issue was with the cleanliness of the pool which was unclean and over chlorinated. This being the case the rental agency immediately corrected the issue . The unit was starting to show its age and could use an update

Would stay again

Nice home, lots of space and private baths. Well equipped kitchen. Take your own Keurig if you like to use kcups. It has two pots but both were drip brew. Ocean front, easy beach access. Maintenance responded when we needed and explained the first problem we were experiencing with elevator was because we didn't read instructions and the other was a known issue with planned repairs upcoming. Overall, the house is very nice and I would stay again.

Bella Vista

We brought our extended family (18 of us ranging from 1-65yrs) to stay at Bella Vista for fall break. The house was perfect for our needs and the double refrigerators and dishwashers made meals simple. The pool was small, but the kids had a blast in it and beach was just steps away. The only downside that was not explained was that the private walkway to the beach advertised also joined a public beach access that ran beside the house so we constantly had traffic beside and a few times up to our house. Otherwise, we loved our time at Bella Vista and made memories of a lifetime.

June 2020

Our group consisted of 2 families with 4 adults (parents) and 9 kids ages 13-21. The Bella Vista house had more than enough room for our families. The house was clean, had a recent face-lift and had amenities like the pool, large family room, ice-maker, large capacity washer/dryer, 2 fridges and 2 dishwashers which were all very convenient. The only negatives are the the lack of sun coverage on the deck and the park style grill was just completely inadequate for a house this size. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would rent this house again.

House great - traffic bad

No issues with house the bedrooms and bathrooms were the perfect setup for our family Wish we could have checked in on another day the traffic on Saturday was terrible! 7 miles took us 45 minutes totally unprepared for that! Also check your bill at restaurants we were charged 18% service charge for 6 of us. I decided to change that to 20%, but they added the 20% to the 18%.

Pictures are deceiving

We just had a weeks stay and we wanted to share our pros and cons to help you with your decision. Pros - having two refrigerators was very nice. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. The ice machine as handy and the pool was fun. Cons - furniture was gross. Didn’t want to sit on most of it. Your access to the beach is shared with the public. They are working on building up the beaches, so had very murky water and very annoying heavy equipment running literally right next to us. Only one washer and dryer and they don’t work that great. Clothes came out just as dirty as they went in. No umbrella on back porch so made it hard to enjoy sitting out there during the day and lighting was awful to sit at night. Deck gets so hot! Cannot walk on it without shoes.

Family Vacation

The house was great but there was a sad lack of tables. There wasn't one big enough to do a large jigsaw puzzle on except the dining table and the round low one you would have had to sit on the floor. I had to use my suitcase as a table in my bathroom so all my "stuff" would be available. And we needed light blankets because the duvets were too hot and the sheets weren't enough . Not sure what the others did but I used a beach towel. Our ice maker died and wasn't repairable so we missed that. But, all in all, it was a good vacation.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation!

We recently traveled from Arkansas for our Family Christmas Vacation. We had 6 families, 17 people total. Plenty of room for all of us! The elevator was wonderful for loading and unloading luggage. Kitchen was very spacious, 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers was ideal! We loved the boardwalk to the beach, and the balcony views. Being pet friendly was wonderful, and my puppy loved the beach! I think our favorite thing was that each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was perfect for a big family. Like I read in a previous review, keep in mind that 2 of the rooms have bunk beds. This was fine for us, we had a girls room, and a boys room, which worked great with our crew. The only hiccup we had was the entire time was the elevator had some issues the 2nd day we were there. I called into the rental company, and they had someone out that afternoon and the issue was resolved in about 10 minutes. They were wonderful to deal with, and very accommodating. I highly recommend this home to anyone with a large group. It was perfect. I would rent this home again for future trips to Gulf Shores.

Beautiful Home

We arrived earlier than expected, traveling from Illinois, so I gave Chuck a call and he said go ahead and go to the house and he gave us an access code to get in early. This was great help, not too many rental companies would do this for you. The views are truly amazing. We had a group of 11, family vacation, in-laws, brother in laws, sister in laws and our children. We sat out on deck everyday. We did buy an umbrella to use on the deck. We did enjoy the pool the whole time we were there also. The kitchen is well stocked, there are plenty of towels and washcloths. Plenty of room to spread out and we loved the huge dining room table. Extra table was great for lots of card games. Every bedroom having its own bathroom was definitely a plus for all of us. There are truly no steps you have to climb in this house if you use the elevator, this was a very important to us, so I thought I would mention it. The elevator was one reason we booked the house, we needed it for some of the family members and it was not working the first night we arrived, so I called Chuck and he said he would have someone there as soon as possible. They showed up within 40 minutes, tried to fix it and said they would need to come back tomorrow with someone else. They arrived on time and got it fixed for us. Great customer service, the maintenance gentleman was very good and even replaced light bulbs for us. They responded within a timely manor and were always accommodating. We loved the home and would highly recommend it. Chuck and Eric were great to work with. We will definitely use Luxury Gulf Rentals again.

It was a very nice & beautiful house!! It is in a really good location. It accommodated 14 people comfortably. We loved it!! We also had very pleasant experience with the people at Luxury Gulf Rentals any time we had to reach out to them for something. Side note: we really loved the whole house but we really liked having 2 fridges & 2 dish washers & an elevator!!

GREAT Beach Location

We were celebrating a 40th and 55th birthday celebration with family and wanted a great location that was centrally located for the diverse group of travelers coming from all over the United States. The HOME was perfect. Two rooms have bunk beds so if you are all adults keep in mind 2 rooms are nothing but BUNK BEDS, this did not impact us because we did have kids and the bunk beds were perfect. 3 Rooms have awesome balcony views of the Gulf of Mexico and were amazing to sit and have your morning coffee and enjoy the sun. The beach house is located on the main strip and truly walking distance across the street for the Canal if you prefer calmer waters or the HUGE Waves of the Gulf are right on your back porch. If you have really small kids be cautious that there is a pool ( 5FT ) and it does not have any protective coverings so prepared. You have your own private walkway to the beach and then below that is a public access boardwalk for the other beach goers, so no NUDE tanning, people will be able to see if they are walking across the boardwalk. The Elevator was a great benefit for arriving and leaving with luggage, outside of that we didn't use it any more. It really did help with the transporting luggage though. The kitchen was perfect, even down to the ice machine so you didn't have to worry about having enough ice. Plenty of dishes and silverware, but we did opt to get paper plates since we ate outside a lot. The house has a grill included BUT we did go and purchase another one, the one included is the standard iron type that state parks have, and it wasn't big enough for the items we were grilling. We would have LOVED to have had some form of tarp covering for the rear balcony, unfortunately the house is in the sun all day and most evening, so if you want to really enjoy the balcony be prepared for DIRECT Sunlight. Just having a pop up tent would have been beneficial for the back of the house to at least not have direct sun over you all day. Since all of use flew in we didn't go and buy one but if you are driving in, PACK a POP UP Tarp you will appreciate the back of the house much more. The beds were great, slept quite well, the furniture is not CHEAP, it is very nice quality and durable, the home was clean and the starter towels, soap, etc was enough to get you started until you can make it to the local store for additional. WE really used the washer and dryer with beach towels everyday to wash and dry so that was a great benefit
