Sunsets & Gulf Shores beachside cottage with partial beach view~ Pet Friendly!

Welcome to Bella 8

******* This unit is fine, but due to storm damage, there will be ongoing construction at this property from now until October of 2025. No washer or dryer is available at this time******

Bella Vita is a small 4 condo complex that sits directly on the beach in the heart of Indian Shores. All units have recently been updated with brand new living room furniture which includes a queen sofa sleeper.

This complex does not have a pool, but the Gulf of Mexico is so close you can taste the salt in the air. Bring the whole family and the dog (1 dog per unit) (20lb weight limit) to this 1 bedroom/1 bathroom cottage that can accommodate 4 guests comfortably. This unit has a partial Gulf view.

Bella 8 is on the 2nd floor and has a partial beach view from the balcony. The bedroom has a queen bed and sits adjacent to the full size bathroom that offers a tub/shower combo.
A separate shared laundry room is available for added convenience. The large kitchen with a breakfast bar overlooks the living area and has everything you might need to cook your favorite meal in or grill your catch of the day on the community charcoal grill located under the complex directly on the sand.

The complex is close to many local restaurants and shopping in the area. Clearwater Beach is located a short distance to the North and John's Pass in Madeira Beach is a short distance to the South. Both places are a great place to spend the day sightseeing and have an abundance of specialty stores to shop until you drop in.

Bella Vita is a great place to host your family reunion!
