This unit was great! So much room. We had 9 people in our party, and there was plenty of trim for all of us! The location is wonderful. Not too crowded, even for July. Would definitely recommend!
10.0 / 10.0
Really enjoyed this condo. It was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 2 small kids. Easy access to the beach and a very secure building.
This was our first time staying in Fort Walton after several trips to Destin and Seagrove. It was a little less crowded and hectic so we will definitely be back.

This was our second stay in this unit and third time to stay in Bella Riva. This unit is by far our favorite. We had a couple of maintenance issues during our week and were amazed at the speed by which they were addressed. Absolutely wonderful customer support! The unit, itself, is well maintained, and has a nicely stocked kitchen. The owner has even just added a new grill on the balcony. The only complaint I can think of is the beds are soon to be in need of replacement. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will rent this unit again next year if available. Thank you!

Overall a nice condo. It was larger than the pictures show. The condo is on the 1st floor but there is a ground level so it’s up one level which was great. The view was perfect!
Couch was big and comfortable. Beds in main bedrooms were very comfortable. Bunk bed mattresses were terrible - thin and uncomfortable even for children.
Washing machine smells and leaves laundry with an odor. And we saw some live roaches in kitchen drawers so definitely needs to be sprayed.
As other reviewers have said - The grill does not work! Only one burner worked but it wasn’t getting hot enough so we had to move inside to finish cooking burgers and weren’t able to grill the rest of the week. Master sliding door is very difficult to slide. We ended up not using that door because it was so difficult.
Replacing the patio furniture would be nice because it is difficult to sit and still see because the top rail is exactly at eye level and they are not very comfortable.

We had a great time in this unit at Bella Riva. The location is perfect along with the view of the ocean and dunes from the balcony. The condo had everything you could need. Very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay. Had everything we needed to cook meals. Close to beach, stores, restaurants. Great management. Best shower pressure I've had on Oskaloosa. Great seating in living and all 8 of us sat together for meals. Can't say just how pleased I was with this condo.

Great Family week. Just wish the table was regular height and had place for 10 so we could all sit around the table together.

Wonderful Place!
My family and I absolutely loved this unit!! It was perfect for everyone that went. It had enough space and the view was excellent! The only downside is the 2 parking passes! That was very stressful for my family because we had 3 vehicles. All and all we had a wonderful time!
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect!!
Bella Riva is a very upscale complex. Loved the Viking appliances!!! The beach service was wonderful! My only complaint is the parking situation. We had 4 vehicles, so parking the extra 2 was a worry. Otherwise, Bella Riva is the ideal vacation spot.

Amazing beach front condo
This condo was great! Probably the best view that I’ve ever stayed. The patio was just and extension of sitting on the beach. Being on the first level was the best. Condo was nicely furnished, rooms and bathrooms were beautiful! Gas grill and range were great to cook on. Secure parking and entrance. All good things to say about this condo!

Plenty of space for our entire family. Great access to the beach. Especially enjoyed the views from the great room and the veranda. Wonderful kitchen with room for multiple cooks.

Beautiful unit with great views.
Four bedrooms three baths and a beautiful unit overall. The thermostat is fixed to not go lower than 68 degrees so the master bedroom was usually about 10° warmer than the rest of the unit due to the size of the vent. The pool was small for the size of the condo complex and there were no bathrooms by the pool. You had to go to the second floor to use the restroom. Beach was beautiful! Loved the ice maker and professional appliances. The grill was a disaster and in much need of replacement. The grates were actually falling apart.
5.0 / 10.0
Property was roomy for our family of 9. Very secure complex. Beach was not too crowded. Great master bath and kitchen! Great view of the ocean, but patio furniture needs some updating and some tall chairs to see over the rail would be nice. Gas grill either needs to be replaced or removed as it appears it is not being cleaned. Management company responded very promptly to a couple of minor issues. Would consider visiting again if the items mentioned were resolved.

There are many things we like about Belle Riva 106 -- The fact that it is only 6 stories, it is usually not very crowded on the beach (which was not the case this time), Fairly clean, Lots of glassware, silverware and dishes; love love love the ice maker, dishwasher works well, nice bath towels, we like that there is not an excess of unnecessary decorations leaving table tops for our use, covered parking, the swimming pool although small is kept clean, and it is on the beach. What 106 needs is:an update on some of the pots, pans, and cooking utensils; toaster and coffee pots should be cleaned between guest, grill is nasty and unusable, need to replace the low table that was on the porch (need a place for younger kids to play at table and a place to set a drink or your book); bedroom sliding door to porch is impossible for some (me) to open, light bulbs were burnt out, outlets on either side of Master bed do not work completely, front door is loose and does not shut properly, handles on masterbath sink need tightening, couch in getting a bit worn - when you sit down you sink way down but we love the style very much. The dining chairs need the felt pads replaced (we did it ourselves last year) as those chairs are heavy and hard to scoot up to the table; when we try to cook the gas was turned off which we figure was done because no one had been renting it; there seemed to be a lingering smell of gas even when the cooktop and oven were not being used. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your condo. I know it is hard to keep it in perfect shape but since things are getting worn you might want to update your property pictures.See ya again next year!

Great Ocean View in Quiet Area
Oceanview was just what was pictured. Pool and beach access areas were convenient and close. Parking was simple but remember to look up the parking code for the building prior to going. This is a diff code than the room code for key access. The app was helpful with this information. The grill worked great on the patio. The beds were comfortable and pictures were accurate. The only issue was with wifi which was not strong at all and at times did not work in areas of the condo.

Family vacation
This was perfect for our family plus 2 sets of grandparents, easy access to beach and tons of things to do. 1 downside is you only get 2 parking passes but there is a beach access #7 where you can park, it is locked at night which was also nice.

Family Vacation 2019
The condo was very spacious. Everyone's room was nice and the bunk room for the kids was great! The view is awesome we could see dolphins swim in the gulf every morning.The kitchen was well stocked.We had stayed at Bella Riva two years ago at another unit and liked it.Was checking into booking next year and saw your rates have increased a lot from this year.

Perfect proximity to the Gulf
The view from the condo was gorgeous! The balcony is spacious with seating and a grill. It was well stocked and very comfortable for three families with small children. An added amenity are two beach chairs and an umbrella. We were able to place a tent close by so all members of the family could be together.

Bella Riva 106 June 2019
This was our 4th year at Belle Riva but first year in 106. It seemed to be better taken care of than the other units at Belle Riva that we have stayed it. The kitchen was better supplied with all the dishes, glasses, pot, etc. that we needed. You will need extra kitchen towels though. It was nice that the table sat 8 since there were 10 in our party. The height of the table was a little worrisome as we were fearful that the little ones would fall off the higher chairs.
Having the big couch worked great for our family. The master room was nice and big. The bed was pretty comfortable but it might help if the mattress was flipped. It was sloped toward the window side as I am sure that is the favorite side to sleep on. The master bath has a wonderful shower and double sinks.
The bunk room worked well for our grands but was a little crowded once they got there suitcases in there. They did like having a TV in there just for them. Rooms 2 and 3 were good except too much light came in the blinds from the entrance porch area where the light were on all night. Maybe some backout curtains would help that.
Parking good. Beach service good and not too crowded like some of the other areas near by. The beach was kept clean so you could enjoy the beauty of the white sand. Pool is on the small side but clean and just right for our little ones,
Overall a very nice place to stay!

We had a wonderful trip!
This condo was spacious and quiet during our fall break trip. The beach service was new to us and we loved that! The built in ice maker was a big bonus too. We really enjoyed this location!

Wonderful anniversary gathering
Condo was very nice. We had 9 people there and since it’s open concept, we never felt crowded. There were a few issues when we first arrived but were taken care of immediately. And thank you that we were able to check in early. Only issue is shortage of parking. We had friends in for dinner and we had them park up the street at the Tom Thumb store and ferried them back and forth. That was awkward. My husband and I met in Ft Walton, we married at Eglin, and our children were born there. A perfect place for our 50th anniversary. We go back regularly and would be happy to stay here again. Plus met a full time couple and shared our fish with them.

Finishing touches
Pros:
- Beach and water color of Destin area are the best we’ve experienced in the US
- beach service included (2 chairs and 1 umbrella) as well as reasonable rates for using Bella Riva kayak and paddle board- fantastic
- size of condo (we had 6 adults and 4 young kids and didn’t feel cramped)
- kitchen is very well stocked, including storage containers, plenty of bowls, etc. but, beware, no food at all- not even salt!
- the kid room (bunks) has NO window- blacked out room gets 2 thumbs up!
- nice pool and hot tub
- beautiful view and deck
Cons:
- high top dining table and eight chairs around that don’t fully fit under. Really tough for small kids
- a few small design details like gap in master shower door creating water coming out while showering, not enough light while showering in other king room/bath. Doesn’t make or break a vacation but everything else seemed 5 Star.
- no bathroom right by pool (have to go to second floor with a bit of a walk)
- unit is first floor (not ground floor)...didn’t realize there would be a ground floor
Overall lovely vacation and we’d definitely come back.

FWB always good, condo needs some updating
Bella Riva is probably the best condos on Okaloosa Island. Amazing space, large balcony, high end appliances, Viking, Bosch, etc. quality building materials. This unit needs updating. The master bed mattress is awful. Deep indentions on each side and a bump in the middle. The stove top has 6 burners and only 2 we’re working. The dishwasher had standing water and an error code when we arrived. I was more mad at the people before us than anything for not reporting the issues so they could be taken care of at their checkout and before we got there. Both appliances required parts to repair. The rental company, Compass, was very responsive and accommodating. They even offered to have housekeeping come and wash our dishes. The grill was scary, we didn’t risk using it, which was unfortunate, we were really looking forward to grilling. I would stay again at Bella Riva, but not this unit.

Great Time
The condo was amazing! We had 10 people in the condo and never felt like we were stepping on each other. We all had a great time and the beach was fantastic!

Beautiful Property
We very much enjoyed our first trip to Okaloosa Island in Ft. Walton Beach. The condo was second to none, and loaded with amenities. The only downside was both icemakers were broken, but Compass Resorts was very accommodating and delivered bags of ice to us throughout the week. Would highly recommend this unit, as well as Compass Resorts!

Great except ice maker quit working.
Condo was really nice, clean, and comfortable. Only problems were ice maker quit working (we were given 1bag of ice for 10 people for 10 days), grill was dirty & igniter was broken , dishwasher bottom rack some wheels were missing, sink in queen room was slow to drain, tub to shower diverter didn't work in queen bedroom. All of these problems did not keep us from enjoying the condo. Beach service there was excellent. Andrew did his job and kept checking on us. We got to know him - great young man. Good times at Bella Riva 106!🏊🏻⚓️😃❤️

Bella Riva=Pure Luxury
Gorgeous views, professional grade kitchen appliances, lots of space, comfortable beds, large balcony with dining for 6. The most AWESOME master bathroom ever made! Huge walk in shower with large bench and three shower heads. Large garden tub. Tastefully decorated with beautiful finishes. So nice I am taking some ideas home with me! We hated to leave!!! By far, the BEST vacation rental we've ever stayed in! Bella Riva means Pure Luxury in my book!

Amazing
Best condo I have ever stayed in (we've been traveling to the Emerald Coast for over 20 years). It is beyond spacious. The pictures don't do justice to the high ceilings and the floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that just add to the spectacular views.

Beautiful condo, beautiful facility
Condo exactly as pictured. Even though 1st floor, still had great....unobstructed....Gulf view. While pool could not be viewed from condo....almost meant no pool sounds which in this facility doesn't mean much as the facility was in general very quiet. With gated locked entries everywhere, the facility felt very safe and secure. The condo was very large and did not fill crowded with 9 family members using it.

Great condo! Really like 1st floor too
Always a great experience. Nice and comfortable. Beautiful place.
