Bella Vista - Waterfront Getaway, Kayaks, fishing & Close to Topsail Beaches!

Welcome to Bella Vista — newly remodeled, fully furnished waterfront retreat, minutes from Topsail beaches.

3-bedroom, 2-bath includes a fun kids’ room w/ 2 bunks & futon, an open-concept, fully equipped kitchen & washer/dryer add convenience for your stay.

Relax outdoors by the fire pit or enjoy sunsets over the water. On-site decks offer easy access for fishing or unwinding by the shore.

Whether a weekend or extended visit, Bella Vista blends comfort & coastal charm for a perfect getaway.

Wi-Fi included. 2 kayaks to use. The home is on a private road with a hidden driveway; not congested with tourists.

You can catch your seafood in the back or go about 1 mile down the road to the direct seafood vendors and cook up a fresh catch in the fully stocked kitchen to dine privately with those beautiful water views!

As a pet friendly family, we allow up to 2 pups with a pet cleaning fee.

Between each guest, we use an ozonator to deep-clean the air—neutralizing odors, bacteria, and allergens—so you arrive to a space that smells fresh, feels clean, and is truly ready for you to relax in.

We support and are proud of our military! Message us letting us know that you a current or retired military service member (including National Guard) and we will appreciate you with an additional discount! (ID needed for verification)

180 degree long range view of the inlet.

Nice, quaint vacation property steps away from a nice deck leading to another deck near the water. Minutes from North Topsail Beach and numerous variety of restaurants. Whole family enjoyed a nice getaway along with our two four-legged companions.

Great get away spot

Private, easy to get to the waters edge for crabs, oysters and small fish. (There are bigger fish too...) Owner is great to work with. Easy access close by for groceries, gas and beach stuff. Beach is less than 15 minutes away. Family is already thinking of the next visit...

Great for a group!

This was a great place for our group - we were easily able to fit everyone and have space for games and visiting. We got to see an awesome thunderstorm from the porch! *Only thing to watch out for is the insects that hang out around the bay (not a problem from the specific location - just a hazard of the area). Thanks to Robert for renting out this great space!

Truly beautiful views!

Just what we needed--a beach house with plenty of space and comfy beds! Did I mention the views?! "Bella Vista" is aptly-named and will have you setting an alarm, even though you're on vacation, just to see the remarkable sunrises. We appreciated the feel of staying in a family home, where the host was very accommodating and provided everything we needed for our stay. Booking was simple, and the rate was as expected for this easy-living rental. The owner is helpful and very responsive. Tip: Bring your best camera and maybe some water shoes.

Family friendly

This was a great spot! The kids referred to it as their "teal house." It was clean and cozy for our 5 day vacay. We could easily get into a shallow edge of the river to wade and watch crabs and minnows swim. You can easily walk/wade out to the edge of deeper water, or paddle out by kayak to fish. The deck and adirondeck chairs offer a great spot for a lazy hangout by the river with amazing water views. Just 15-20 minutes away from public beach access, depending on which one you pick. 5 minutes from New River Boat Tours and Riverview Cafe, both amazing experiences!
