Bella Vista!! Exclusive Lakefront Getaway at The Shores-Resort Pool & Beach!!
Bella Vista at The Shores!! Landscaped Pool Complex with Hot Tub!! Gated with Private Beach!! Perfect Location featuring 2 Bedrooms and 2 FULL Baths!!
Bella Vista!! Yes!...what a "beautiful view"!! Take in the view of water and sky from this lovely 3rd-floor unit, which has three balconies (two lakeview, one tennis/pickleball court view), and is located in the highly sought after 'The Shores' beach front resort style condominium development. This complex, which is beautifully landscaped, checks all of the boxes! Gated community, heated lakefront pool flanked by small ponds with water fountains, lakefront deck, hot tub, beautiful private sandy beaches, large common firepit patio with a water feature wall, grassy yard space with picnic tables and charcoal grills, tennis/pickleball court, the list goes on and on!
There is no elevator in the complex, but you will be rewarded with the view from the top! Inside our 2-bedroom, 2 full bath condo, you'll walk into an open concept kitchen and immediately see past the living room to a view of Lake Erie out on the horizon. This is a clean, comfortable and well stocked unit. Consider this your "home away from home" just as our family and friends do. Pack your own toothbrush, food and beverages and leave the rest to us. This condo has central air conditioning and heat for your comfort - no window air conditioners or baseboard heat! We are located close to many attractions. For your convenience I'll list how many miles away Points of Interest are, but you just might want to stay here at 'The Shores' to just relax and enjoy the lake life...catch the sunrise colors with your morning cup of coffee out on the bedroom balcony, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, read a book poolside, nap on the lakefront deck while listening to the waves lap at the shore, dip your toes in the smooth silky sand on your very own private beach, enjoy a glass of wine up in the condo out on the balcony while watching sailboats sail off into the horizon as the setting sun paints the sky with a multitude of pastel colors. Dine in or go out to one of many of the area's fine dining or quaint and casual establishments. (Happy to offer suggestions - hints of cuisine preferences are helpful.) Then enjoy the rest of the night out on the patio by the fire where you can share your day's activities and plan your next day's adventure. This is a condo where you can relax! Don't miss it!!

We had such a great time visiting the area. The condo was lovely, decorated well, cozy and comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the beach, pool and walking the grounds. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you Tarin! Happy to hear you all were cozy and comfy, and enjoyed the many amenities.
Our stay was awesome. Everything we wanted to do was a quick trip away and the pool on site was awesome. The kids had a blast at the beach as well on site!

Thank you Jeff,... we're happy to hear your stay was "awesome" and that the kids had a blast!
We booked this unit for our first family vacation! Unit was clean and looked just like the pictures! The host checked in with us throughout our stay and made sure everything was in good order! There is also a cute little public beach three minutes away with a small light house, pond and bird watching- our family enjoyed the property and the public beach. The May flies weren’t an issue for us at all- we did how ever learn what stable flies were- they bite hard- we learned this by the pool area that is mulched and has a tree- enjoy the pool area but stay away from the mulch and bringing some bug spray is definitely not a bad idea. Over all we had a wonderful trip- I do agree with the other reviews about the stairs- quite rough on a family of five with an infant but was definitely worth the view and that’s what we were seeking! I would definitely book this unit again in a heart beat and look forward to it in the future! We also loved the Docks Beach House Bar & Grille- best food we ever had and beach front! Thanks for being a great host!

We went for my friends Bach Trip, and The Shores was the perfect resort! Everything we were looking for and more. Everyone was so friendly, and the place was one of the cleanest I have stayed in. I will book again!

Was the perfect getaway for a few nights for our family! We swam, enjoyed local restaurants and ice cream shops, and explored Catawba as well as Put in Bay. Pat was super responsive and made our stay exceptionally comfortable with her hospitality.

My sister and I stayed at Bella Vista for three nights, and it was an excellent experience all around. The property was clean and cozy, the owner was responsive and invested in our stay going well, and the view of the lake was great! All in all a lovely place.

About the host

There's nothing like a vacation getaway! I care so deeply about your experience as a guest because I’ve been there! When vacationing with my husband and four kids I so appreciate when I can see lots of thought and attention has gone into our family’s stay. You can always count on the living spaces being comfortable and well stocked. And you can’t beat a waterfront destination! Some of my favorite memories growing up were hanging out on my Dad’s boat soaking in the sun while enjoying the wind and waves, not to mention heading over to Put-in-Bay, Cedar Point trips and days at the beach! I’m so thrilled to share this perfect Vacationland “homebase” with you and your family and friends. It’s my hope that you’ll make many lasting memories here while enjoying the amenities and grounds of this lakeview retreat plus the many ways to have fun around these shores and that your stay at The Indigo View will become a favorite of yours as well!
