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!

Much Needed Family Vacation!

Our Family is spread out over a couple of states and Cherie the property owner made it happen for us! Everything from the booking, check-in and check-out was so smooth and enjoyable! It was clean, beachy/cozy, had everything we needed and more than enough room for our family! Close access to the sand was for sure a huge bonus for us!! Thank you again!! 10 out of 10 Recommend!!!

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!

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 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.

Perfect Getaway!!

Beautiful 3rd row home with beach/ocean views. The property was clean and as expected. All the comforts of home. Great location in the heart of Crystal Beach. Only 1-2 mile drive to all the main stores. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The property owner (David) was easy to get in touch and was quick to respond to any question or concern we had. Overall, everything was amazing and we thoroughly loved staying at Bella Costa! We will definitely be back.

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.
