About this property

Charming beach cottage with stunning sunset views Dogs are welcome Bella8

Welcome to Bella 8

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) (35lb weight limit) to this 1 bedroom/1 bathroom cottage that can accommodate 4 guests comfortably.


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!

Great place on the beach
This place was nice. Great location & beautiful beach view from our deck. It was clean & came with everything we needed for a week’s stay. We were even able to switch out our used towels for fresh ones a few days into our trip. The cleaning ladies who were getting the unit next to us ready for new guests made sure to ask us if there was anything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of pots & pans to cook with, along with spices, etc. We would definitely book here again.

Not a comfortable place
Dishes were dirty in cabinets. Door knob/lock rusted. Wifi didn't work. Couch and bed not comfortable. Have to constantly open and close a gate to get to beach. Have to keep a key on you at all times. Poor experience with the place.

Indian Shores.
The unit we rented was just as described. Excellent beach access. The unit could use a little tlc but over all very nice space. Very quiet and private.

Nice little place at the beach
This was a nice place to stay for myself and 2 young girls. A great location at the beach. The only complaint I have is that the view isn't what's on the website.
