    A Quiet Lakeside Escape on 30A

    Bella Vista is the lower unit of a 2 family home. The property includes two separate rental units, and the shared private dock is available to guests of both units when rented separately. The upper unit may be occupied during your stay unless both units are reserved together.

    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.

    You'll find:
    A private dock perfect for fishing or launching paddles
    2 kayaks, a paddle board, and a pedal boat for exploring the lake
    4 bikes for cruising along 30A
    A large deck overlooking the water for morning coffee or sunset drinks
    A fire pit for relaxed evenings under the stars
    Beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys ready for your beach days
    Outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach

    Whether you're beginning the day with a paddle or ending it beside the fire, the lake becomes part of the rhythm of your stay.

    THE HOME
    Bella Vista is designed to feel comfortable, welcoming, and relaxed.
    The home includes 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, comfortably sleeping up to 4 guests, making it perfect for couples, small families, or a friends' getaway.
    Inside you'll find bright, inviting living spaces where everyone can gather after a day at the beach or on the water.
    Large windows and the balcony look out over the lake, letting the peaceful setting become part of the experience of the home.

    Sleeping Arrangements
    Primary Bedroom: Queen bed
    Second Bedroom: Two twin beds
    Perfect for a couple with children, two couples, or friends traveling together.

    EXPLORE NEARBY 30A
    Bella Vista is located in one of the most convenient and peaceful areas of 30A; close to the energy of the beach towns, yet tucked away in a quiet lakeside setting.
    Within just a few minutes you can explore some of the best dining, shopping, and entertainment along the coast.
    The Big Chill (Formerly The Hub)
    3 minutes | 1 mile
    A lively outdoor gathering place with restaurants, live music, outdoor movies, and family-friendly fun. It's an easy bike ride and a favorite spot for casual dinners and evening entertainment.

    A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN
    Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a small family vacation, or a quiet retreat by the water, Bella Vista offers a space to slow down and enjoy the simple moments that make a trip memorable.

Parking was a major issue, the guest next to us parked in our space didn’t want to move. WeShowed them our email! The bathroom was not clean urine on the toolsSeat and under the seat, shower and sinks had black hairs in both. Floor in bath room was not clean. The paddle boat and kayaks were full of water, had to turn over to drain for next day paddling. And the last night sent me an email asking to take all trash to the top of road and return the bin in the morning before leaving. For the price of this rental the amount of things that we had to do was not worth the price ! It was a good location but not a fan !
