Welcome to Bella Vita!

The entrance, located on the second floor, opens up to a beautifully decorated living space with plenty of comfortable seating. By the living area is an open gourmet kitchen, breakfast bar, and a dining space with a view overlooking the lake. Onto the balcony is a lounging area with a view of the pool and the Four Prong Lake. A hallway leads to the luxurious master King Suite. This elegant and fully-furnished bedroom is coupled with a large master bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub and fireplace.

Beach Vacation
Everything was really great. But there are a few things to note. The condition of the property was just ok. There were several things that needed repair and maintenance. The gate code to the neighborhood was incorrect. We asked about some things like a crib and high chair and was told i neededto contact a rental company, but when we arrived, we found these items already there. Which would have been great to know. All in all we had a great weekend and would return if they repaired a few things.

Disappointed
We are a group of 10- women, who look for a beautiful house near or on the beach in Destin, Florida annually. The house was beautiful online but did not meet our expectations upon arrival. There were more than 15 blinds missing on the second floor, and the level 3 deck was the most disappointing. Furniture was old and torn, rusted and the hole at the entrance to the deck made it unsafe for us. House sleeps 20 people but was not prepared for 20. This house needs a serious upgrade.

Extremely Poor Quality Rental
Friends and family stayed for a week and the property was VERY disappointing. Holes in Walls, rust and dirty vents, broken umbrellas, wallpaper tearing off walls, light bulbs out, cracking tiles, broken trashcans, broken pool chairs… the list goes WAY on. Beach reunion was only willing to refund a VERY minimal amount (<10%) after we spent a great amount (cannot say specific amount due to review policy). We gave them a chance to make it right after submitting photos… but we wont be staying with Beach Reunion again. 0 stars. This property was very poorly maintained and us “reaching out” to them upon arrival is not realistic to have someone perform renovations during our vacation stay…
Stayed 5 nights in May 2023

Our amenities include golf cart rentals, beach chair services as well as our concierge services for golf, dining and wedding planning.
