About this property

Owners Featured on HGTV's "Bahamas Life!" - Beautiful Oceanfront Villa

Our family welcomes you to share in our lifelong dream to enjoy our piece of Heaven. We treat all of our guests like family and we strive to earn your rave reviews after every visit. "Bella Vista" is a nod to our family's Italian heritage. Meaning "Beautiful View" There is no simpler way to begin to describe the allure of this piece of heaven. The entrancing views from the front porch will not disappoint even the most discerning traveler. With the ever-changing colors of the water, the gentle lapping of the water just steps from your front door, and the occasional rainbow stretching across the sky, Bella Vista certainly earns her name.

We have enjoyed 6 years of hosting and have been blessed with a loyal family of guests since the beginning. Bella Vista's popularity has grown thanks to our guests and the wonderful comments made about their experience. If your dates are not available, please check out our sister property; Bella Vista Breeze, which is just 3 doors down!! We want everyone to enjoy the wonders of Exuma. With 2 properties of our own and our network of friends within the resort offering a wide array of other villas to choose from, we can certainly find the perfect accommodations for you, your family, extended family, and all of your friends. Please feel free to ask!!

We welcome both short and long term rentals. For rentals over 2 weeks in length, we will hold a $500 security deposit that will be returned within one week of the end of your rental.

Bella Vista is thrilled to be part of the Guest Services Program at The Hideaways at Palm Bay Beach Club. Being a part of this program is what separates Bella Vista from some other properties. Our guests have complete access to the Pool, Fitness Center, all Watersports, Shuttle service into George Town, the brand new Hospitality Suite, and the concierge services of the front desk. Not all properties are the same, underpriced properties do not give you access to anything the resort has to offer. Be sure to ask all hosts in The Hideaways at the Palm Bay Beach Club if their guests have complete access to the amenities. If you are going to stay in a resort, you should enjoy the resort!

We believe your vacation begins the moment you begin planning. We are here to help as much or as little as you'd like. We have made all the mistakes and we have discovered all the hidden gems throughout the island. We welcome the opportunity to share what we have learned and connect our guests to our friends on the island. We are not satisfied until our guests fall in love with Exuma!

The large (almost 700 Sq Ft) unit provides ample space for up to 4 people with a King-sized Master bed, a queen-size Murphy Bed, a fully stocked kitchen, a washer & dryer, and our comfy lounge chairs to soak up the sunrise each morning. Thanks to a network of friends within the resort, if you are traveling with an extended family, we can also help find other accommodations for the rest of your party. Just feel free to ask us to help.

Palm Bay Beach Club is perfectly located right between Jolly Hall Beach and The Famous Fish Fry; all within walking distance of the unit. Convenience abounds for all guests with an on-sight restaurant - "Splash" and Rental Car facilities located right across the street.

Come enjoy our piece of paradise. Bella Vista awaits you and your family to make your vacation to Exuma memorable.

Exuma is where you can "Dream with your eyes open."

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Roseann

Host profile image
Michael & Roseann live in Allendale, NJ with their 2 teenage boys. We have been coming to Exuma for years and have finally fulfilled our dream of owning a piece of paradise. We welcome you to our home and we are here to help you enjoy your trip from beginning to end. Come, enjoy paradise!

In Early 2020, Michael & Roseann were featured on HGTV's Bahamas Life to chronicle their search for Bella Vista. Our Episode was in Season 4, Episode 4 - "Garden State to State Bliss."

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for its proximity to everything. The Hideaways offers you everything you would ever want on vacation and with the Fish Fry only steps to the east and Jolly Hall Beach only steps to the west, Bella Vista could not be in a better location to ensure your enjoyment.

For the adventurous types (which we strongly recommend), we highly recommend renting a car. We have plenty of recommendations on the best agencies on the island.. We continually explore the island with our guests in mind. We do not consider ourselves as Exuma experts, but we certainly know lots of experts on the island that can help us serve our guests better. Whether you are simply enjoying a few days "off the grid" or planning to get married on the island, we have helped our guests enjoy an entire spectrum of vacations, so let us help you discover Exuma.

Finally, your hosts. There is nothing we like doing more than traveling. We found Great Exuma and we absolutely fell in love. We have explored every inch of this island and all we want to do is impart what we have learned to ensure your complete enjoyment. We don't want our guests to waste any time trying to identify where to go on the island. We published an "End to End" picture guide to Exuma with local expert tips. The book is EXCLUSIVE to Bella Vista.

What makes this property unique

We constantly strive to improve Bella Vista. We are always soliciting feedback from our guests and we will never stop making Bella Vista better. A short survey is sent to every guest after their visit. Results from this survey have led to several enhancements over the years and ensure that future guests enjoy every minute of their vacation.

To our knowledge, Bella Vista is the ONLY VRBO property on Exuma to have published a Sanitization plan with the Ministry of Tourism. This has earned us the "Clean & Pristine" distinction. The only other properties with this honor are the major resorts.

Some unique items available to all of our guests are Beach Chairs, Beach Umbrella, Cooler bags, waterproof portable speaker, snorkel gear for every size, BBQ, lanterns/flashlights, Water floats, Sand toys, beach games, and much much more. We even have a butter warmer and a fish scaler!!! If you need anything, please ask and we will do everything to accommodate your request.

We truly enjoy helping our guests enjoy Exuma. We are very active on Social Media before, during, and after your visit and we encourage our guests to post pictures chronicling their visit as well. Regular check-ins are a part of our service to guests on the island. Our goal is always 100% satisfaction at all times.
