Location, location, location

The location could not have been better. The beach access is right across the driveway, making it incredibly easy to walk back and forth throughout the day even for the older crowd. It was so convenient to run back for lunch, grab something we forgot, or take a break from the sun. The house itself was very clean and very well stocked. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely book Bella Vita again for our next trip to 30A.

Great Time with Family!!

Such a great place to stay! We had our entire family 9 adults 8 children and we were very comfortable in this home! We absolutely loved the privacy of the beach that is just a short walk across the street from the home. My grandchildren loved the bunk room with the video games! Definitely will be back!

Incredible Stay

We had an incredible stay at this beach house booked through Beach Luxury Vacations. The house was perfect for our large group—spacious, well laid out, and super comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The carriage house and separate apartment were such a great bonus for extra privacy and we loved that every bedroom had its own private bathroom. The location couldn't have been better—just 20 feet from the beach entrance. It was so easy to come and go throughout the day. The home is in a quiet, peaceful community, which made it feel like our own little retreat. We also really appreciated all the beach gear—chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon were provided, making beach days a total breeze. Beach Luxury Vacations made everything easy from booking to check-out. Highly recommend this home and management company!

Family Beach Getaway!

Home was beautiful and comfortable! Great location steps away from the private beach. Accommodations were wonderful and the house property company helped with any questions we had promptly. Our only concern was the kitchen items. Maybe add additional coffee cups, kitchen towels, cutting boards, sharper knives….

Perfect for a large family of 11!

Perfect for a family of three generations, all operating on a slightly different schedule.Very soundproof which was great having 3 children 3 years and under. Also great having two private spaces, the carriage house and basement apartment to spread out. Close proximity to beach was of utmost importance! Many trips back and forth with little ones. Wonderful experience!

Perfect Beach House Just Steps from the Sand!

We had the best time staying at this 6-bedroom beach house just off 30A! You seriously can't beat the location—it's only about 30 feet from the beach, so we were on the sand in seconds every day. No need to pack the car or haul a bunch of stuff—just walk out the door and you're there. The house itself is super spacious, clean, and comfortable. There was more than enough room for our whole crew to spread out, and the setup made it really easy to hang out together in the main living area or grab some quiet time in your own room. We loved how close it was to all the fun on 30A too—tons of great restaurants, shops, and things to do nearby, but the community was quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend this place for families or groups of friends looking for a beach vacation with space, comfort, and unbeatable access to the ocean. We're already talking about coming back!

Nice quiet private beach right across the street

Just across the street is a nice private beach, not crowded and very quiet! The home is very large and the bedrooms have more room than you know what to do with. The kitchen has everything you need, the keurig duo was a huge plus. Everything was very clean and tidy. Beach Luxury Vacations was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The guest app made things very simple. Thanks for great relaxing getaway.

We are so lucky to have found this home! It is just a few step to the private beach. We had such a relaxing vacation in the quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The beach equipment was a fabulous bonus, many beach chairs, wagons, umbrellas, and kids toys. The home is very spacious and so amazingly clean! The management company was wonderful and so helpful with everything from check in, to boat rentals to restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend this home and company to everyone!

Thanksgiving at the beach!

We had a wonderful multi-generational family gathering for Thanksgiving week. This house is very large and the bedrooms are spacious with a lot of privacy. The location is as close to ocean front as you can get without actually being on the ocean. Literally steps away from the beach access path and you can hear the waves from the front porch. The appliances are much nicer than the usual rental appliances. The kitchen is large and we made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with no problem--didn't need to buy any extra utensils. Especially appreciate how much silverware is stocked--plenty for 12 people without having to constantly wash and replace to keep enough spoons and forks in circulation. The beds are very comfortable. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. We lucked out and had great weather--warm enough to swim in the ocean on Thanksgiving. Dune Allen is our favorite section of 30A and this stretch of beach next to Topsail is the best. We would definitely stay here again if we have a large group.

Da Beach Group

The property accommodated our family and friends very well. Loved the house and decor. Loved the location and privacy of the beach. The front porch was a great location for late evening cocktails. We were very disappointed in the studio. We expected something more updated, instead it seemed more like a 3 star rated accommodation. I think it needs an updated bathroom. Put in a request for maintenance on the shower drain in the bunkroom bath, to my knowledge, no one ever showed, we were able to correct the problem ourselves. The vent above the stove does not work, at least we weren’t able to get it to draw. In the carriage house, there seems to be a bug problem, we sprayed and they seemed to go elsewhere. Also, there were maggots in the grill and the automotive starter doesn’t work. Overall I would give it an A-, we will be back and will recommend highly.

Large home that was perfect for our large family vacation.

House was perfect for our family. My daughter and son in law with my 18 month old grandson was able to stay in the carriage house and give them the privacy needed while the rest of the family stayed in the main house. We was slighted disappointed that the downstairs bedroom was not connected to the main house but it worked okay for my in-laws because they like getting away from the crowd sometimes anyway.

Best Trip Ever! Thanks BLV

We really enjoyed our time at this spacious beach house! It's tucked into a peaceful, quiet area community off 30A by Gulf Place. The beach entrance is directly across the street, which was amazing, literally steps away!!!! The house had everything we needed—tons of space, a big front porch that was great for relaxing, and all the beach gear (chairs, umbrella, and a wagon) ready to go. It was the perfect setup for a laid-back beach trip. Beach Luxury Vacations was fantastic to work with—friendly, helpful, and on top of every detail. We had a smooth, stress-free stay and would absolutely come back again!
