The included four-passenger golf cart and four adult bikes make exploring the neighborhood and nearby Seagrove, Seacrest, and Rosemary Beach effortless. Seasonal complimentary beach service, freshly laundered linens after every stay, and an unbeatable location along Scenic 30A complete the experience, making Bella Vista an ideal destination for a memorable Emerald Coast getaway.

KEY Curation Notes

A third-floor tower room is the standout feature here, with Gulf views, its own bar sitting area, sink, and refrigerator — a genuinely elevated spot for sunset drinks.
A golf cart comes included with the stay, a real perk in this community since WaterSound's HOA doesn't allow guests to rent or bring their own. A valid driver's license and insurance must be shown at the gatehouse to activate it.
The pool here is a shared community pool, not private to the home, just steps away along with direct deeded beach access.
Community access is limited to three vehicles through the gate for this home, worth planning around for larger groups arriving in multiple cars.
The outdoor fireplace is for ambiance only and isn't available for guest use.

Reviews

Lisa

This was the third time we've stayed at this beautiful home and it does not disappoint. It has been completely remodelled since our last visit and is coastal elegance without sparing comfort or coziness. Rooms are spacious and even our 16 and 18 year old teenagers loved the bunk beds. Smart TVs in all the rooms, giving you access to all major streaming channel services and a beautiful open concept kitchen which was fun for gathering in the common area. Several indoor and outdoor areas to gather and relax on every floor and a lovely hidden reading room to escape with a good book. Widows peak was great for sunsets and champagne. The 5-minute walk on the boardwalk to the beautiful beaches and dunes of the Gulf was our daily routine. Great restaurants just a short drive away along 30A or gathering around the spacious kitchen with good food and wines - can't go wrong, either way.
