WELCOME TO BELLA VISTA Some places invite you to slow down the moment you arrive. Bella Vista sits quietly along the edge of Camp Creek Lake, where the water is calm, the pace is slower, and the beauty of 30A feels a little more personal. Mornings begin with coffee on the deck as the sun rises across the lake. You might see someone paddling quietly across the water or casting a fishing line from the dock while the rest of the day unfolds gently. Later, you might bike to the beach, paddle across the lake to a hidden stretch of sand, or wander down to The Big Chill for dinner, music, and an evening under the lights. And when the day winds down, the lake becomes still again it's the perfect setting for stories around the fire pit, a glass of wine on the balcony, or simply enjoying the quiet. Bella Vista was created to be a peaceful retreat... a place to reconnect with the people you're with and the beauty of the coast around you.
THE SETTING Bella Vista sits directly on the tranquil waters of Camp Creek Lake, one of the rare coastal dune lakes along 30A. These lakes exist in only a few places in the world and create a unique environment where fresh water and saltwater meet offering calm paddling waters, incredible wildlife, and peaceful views just minutes from the Gulf. From the private dock, you can launch a kayak or paddleboard and make a short 10-15 minute paddle to a quiet beach access. If you prefer to walk or bike, Gulf Lakes Public Beach Access is about ½ mile away, making beach days simple and easy. This rare combination of lakefront and beach access is one of the things that makes Bella Vista so special.
OUTDOOR LIVING Life here naturally happens outside. The backyard opens to the lake, creating a beautiful space to relax, play, and enjoy the water throughout your stay.
