Waterfront Home at Bella Acqua – Heated Pool, Dock & Beach 5-Minutes Away

Welcome to Bella Acqua – Your South Florida Waterfront Retreat

Nestled in a peaceful Pompano Beach neighborhood, Bella Acqua is the perfect home base for creating lasting family memories. This waterfront home with a heated saltwater pool offers the best of both worlds: serene relaxation and quick access to South Florida’s top attractions. Spend your days lounging by the pool, enjoying breathtaking water views, or gathering for outdoor dinners on the waterfront patio—complete with a gas grill for easy entertaining.

Boaters & Water Lovers

Your boat (up to 45 feet) is welcome at our private dock with direct ocean access. A short 10-minute cruise through the Hillsboro Inlet takes you straight to the Atlantic—ideal for fishing trips, scuba diving adventures, or exploring nearby sandbars and islands.

Convenient Location

Just 20 minutes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, our home puts you close to everything. Whether it’s catching a game at the Miami Dolphins Stadium, testing your luck at the Hard Rock Casino, or exploring downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard, you’ll never run out of things to do. Yet when you return home, you’ll enjoy peaceful privacy.

Explore Pompano Beach & Beyond

Sun, Sand & Sea – Pristine beaches are only 5–10 minutes away. Try jet-skiing, parasailing, scuba diving, or hop on a glass-bottom boat to see South Florida’s colorful marine life.

Golf & Recreation – Pompano Beach’s popular municipal golf course is nearby, with an on-site restaurant and cocktail lounge for post-game relaxation.

Shopping – Browse high-end boutiques on Las Olas, visit Pompano City Center, explore the Galleria Mall, or hunt for treasures at the 800+ store indoor flea market.

Dining – From fresh seafood with Intracoastal views to local pubs and sports bars, there’s something for every craving. Prefer dining in? Several grocery stores are just minutes away.

Family Fun – Local parks are within walking distance, while short drives take you to the Museum of Discovery & Science, Butterfly World, Flamingo Gardens, and the unforgettable Everglades National Park.

At Bella Acqua, we personally manage our home and live nearby, so you can count on a welcoming, home-away-from-home experience. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, couples’ retreat, or boating adventure, our goal is to make your stay comfortable, memorable, and filled with the very best of South Florida waterfront living.

Great Place

Just as advertised. I have rented many properties over years and this was the first time the onwer reached out a couple hours after check-in to ensure everything was good. I really appreciate that call. We later met the owner who is very nice and accommodating with a great personality. The location was perfect, the house is wonderful, clean and stocked with everything you need. Even the neighbor was very friendly.

Great family vacation!

We had a great family vacation! House was very nice clean pool was nice. We all enjoyed hanging out at the pool. The only thing I would say is the description said it had a hot tub, but there was no hot tub. The host was excellent on communication and given us places to eat and Information he was awesome!

5 stars isn’t enough….

The house was clean and exactly as it was in the photos. The beach and essential stores are close. The canals behind the house were deep enough for our 22ft boat and provided easy access to the inlet. We had a great experience here and the owner was amazing! Really a top notch experience! We wouldn’t consider staying at any one else’s place in Pompano Beach!

Home away from home

For us, this was "home away from home" - a house that has everything you may want or need and gives you a good feeling on top of it. The owners keep the property meticulously clean and promptly respond to any question one may have. The fabulous swimming pool and view of a quiet waterway make the vacation feel in this property complete. You wish your stay would never end!

Thank You

We wanted to take a minute and say thank you for opening up your wonderful home for us to use as a home base this week. We have had a great stay and after some long hours of work we could unwind and sit on the back patio to enjoy the canal living and fantastic pool. It was quiet, clean, everything we needed was here and it truly was like being at home.

Relaxing fishing stay

The house was exactly as advertised! More than enough of everything you would ever need. Bill even installed a fish cleaning table days prior to our stay when I asked if there was one on the dock! Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The pool was great to relax in after morning fishing trips. We brought our boat and the dock was perfect with bumpers that were actually usable at low tide. We will definitely be back!

Everything was perfect! The clean house, Bill and Stephanie the owners, location, comfort, and more. Everything you need is at your finger tips. We had an outstanding time from the time we arrived to the time we left. I can't wait to visit and possibly live in Pompano in the future. Thank you so much!!!!

The house is perfect for a tropical indoor/outdoor experience! The home is nice and bright, well appointed, and the patio/heated pool - heaven! We live locally and had extended family in for a visit. Bill's place was just right for giving our guests the ultimate vacation they were seeking. Bill was SO accommodating and helpful. The neighborhood is quite, beautiful and close to everything! Thanks again Bill, for everything!

Beautiful home

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was super clean, plenty of towels and sheets and pillows (been to plenty of houses where there was only one for each person), the pool was fantastic and well used by our whole family every day, we even fished off the dock and caught a bunch of fish! The house was well stocked, I forgot a couple odds and ends but they were readily available so it was nice to not have to run out and get them and the fishing rods available to use were a huge addition! Plenty of beach chairs and an umbrella. There are plenty of stores and restaurants close by we were never lacking with something to do. Loved our stay there ans looking forward to returning!

Perfect Pomapno Beach Vacation House

This property is in a great location: close to the beach, groceries, dive boats and shops while providing a quiet, secluded life on the canal. The place is clean and well furnished with good beds. The covered deck and pool are lovely and make for great relaxation in the shade while watching the Tarpin in the canal. The kitchen is well supplied and the entire floor plan is open and cool. We loved the property and will abosolutely stay here when we come to dive the Pompano beach area. Bill the owner went out of his way to be accomodating and friendy. This was an all around good deal. Thanks

Beautiful!

We had an absolutely amazing time staying at your vacation home. Not only was it beautiful and clean on the inside, we could've lived outside. The pool and outdoor living space were wonderful and relaxing and the dock was perfect for our boat. Bill was super helpful with activities in the area and provided helpful information about docking our boat to ensure we didn't end up on the sand bar behind the neighbors boat. We loved the area the snorkeling was beautiful and it's not a far drive from anything! We made it to West Palm Beach and all the way to Miami. We will definitely be back to explore the area some more. Thank you Bill for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Our perfect holiday in Pompano Beach

We want to say thank you, for the complete package we experienced at Bill's vacation rental. From the first second up to the end of our stay, everything was perfect and we felt absolutely AT HOME. The rental was very lovely, comfortable, clean and located in a friendly neighbourhood. On the patio, with the nice pool and on the dock at the canal, you can spend a relaxed time. It is close to the nice beach of Pompano and also to many nice places in SE Florida. Last but absolutely not least we want to say thank you to Bill. The communication was very friendly and easy. He was helping in word and deed in every time. We were very happy to stay there again. Bill is an example of a perfect renter and the vacation rental is an example of a perfect accommodation.

Perfect for a family!

Bella Acqua is a lovely home with three bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 2 twins), modern kitchen, living room, dining room, pretty covered outdoor space and heated saltwater pool. The master bedroom is on one side of the house, and the other two bedrooms are on the other side, so is a great layout for families with younger kids. Our children loved their bedrooms and their shared bathroom was conveniently right across from their rooms. There were also a lot of fun kids toys and games, including a Wii with a ton of games. We enjoy cooking up delicious food, and the kitchen and grill didn't disappoint. Even though we needed a couple extra kitchen items, the owner was exceptionally responsive, and even provided some of the items during our stay (and messaged that they're getting the others before the next guests' stay!). The pool temperature was perfectly warm, and although we were on the intracoastal, it was nice and quiet, since it's at the end of an inlet. Just be aware that you are close to the Pompano Beach Airpark, so during the day, there can be low-flying planes, but our kids found it fun to look at the different ones going by. The property is very convenient to the beach and many other great local attractions.

Feng shui all the way in this spectacular home!

This lovely, clean, warm home in South Florida was so amazing we will be staying every summer! From the moment you open the door we were enraptured with the flow, decor, cleanliness and warmth of this lovely S. Florida home. This home welcomed us in from the moment we opened the door. It was the perfect place for respite and fun with family and friends. The quiet cul-de-sac and lovely neighborhood so close to the beaches made it the perfect getaway. We brought our boat and had it docked right on the water behind this home. A 5-minute boat ride to the Intracoastal and we were cruising for a day of fun. No boat ramps, just dock behind the house and back inside this sweet gem of a home at the end of our day excursion. This quiet home literally invites you to relax, read, entertain, swim or just take in the views and natural wildlife. The kitchen and bathrooms are completely updated with all the modern accoutrements. The decor, location, amenities and flow of this home was so inviting we did not want to leave. We cannot wait to go back next year. It was a great getaway for our family and we are so happy to have found our home away from home!
