The house, having 4 additional rental units not listed in the description, is located at the end of a very narrow drive/pathway; online pictures were not current. Our unit was a beautifully open concept upper facing the bay. We had two impactful issues affecting our stay causing the low star rate. Upon our arrival after 4pm we encountered ALL of the allotted parking spaces taken to include a large truck/trailer combo in one of them blocking the small parking area. Once in our unit, we discovered cleaning was unfinished; used dirty gloves were on the kitchen counter, wet towels on the floor in the bathroom, full can of bathroom garbage, the king sized bed in one of the bedrooms had no sheets or comforter on the bed, and wet towels & bedding left in the washing machine. We called the service who contacted Elena who advised us she had car trouble and was coming back to the property to finish, which she did. More impacting was the first two days we endured workers operating a front loader, sledge hammers, and other tools busting up patio concrete cement/blocks UP AGAINST the house directly in the pool area. Loud banging all day, house shaking; we couldn't enjoy the pool, view, or have any peace. Contacted the owner, Amy, received no response. Lost two days of vacation. Reached out again to Amy upon our return home and still no response. While we loved Manasota Key, our stay at Bella Vista was negatively impacted with no compensation from the owner.

Super cute Inn....great morning views of Lemon Bay. Pool was refreshing....beach was a short walk away. Hostess had great towels, beach chairs, and pull carts. Kitchen was VERY well equipped. Even had a glass pitcher for our margaritas! Only thing I would suggest was the "bar soap" provided was a small round sample-type soap. So, bring your own body wash. It was a lovely stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I traveled with my daughter and grandson for a celebration of life for my brother who passed away in July held in Venice, Fl. The condo was a peaceful retreat for us, when we were away from the family.

This spacious and immaculate property was a dream come true. Overlooking Lemon Bay and the sunrise, it was just a short walk to the endless beach and the sunset. The unit was beautifully decorated, and the kitchen was well stocked including spices. When questions arose, the host was right there with the answers. We would definitely recommend this lovely spot to anyone.

We booked this trip for a long weekend and we are so glad we did. We usually like to be oceanfront, but waking up to the bay sure was beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sunrise each day. The beach was easy to get to and was beautiful and private. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves! Absolutely loved having access to beach towels, chairs, coolers, sand toys, umbrellas. The unit we stayed in was clean and well-stocked. Loved the view of the water from nearly every room. The onsite property manager was super sweet and we enjoyed chatting with her while there. We will be coming back!

There were many things to do - kayaks, fishing from the pier. Even board games within the property. Saw manatees, dolphins, and all kinds of birds in the bay. The beach was not a far walk - do have to carry beach accessories to beach as the beach carts needed repair. But the chairs were all in good condition. There is even a small cooler to use to take to the beach. The beach was very nice. Was never crowded. Close distance to many of the restaurants.

Loved staying here. We were welcomed with a tray of goodies like coffee, oatmeal, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions which by the way smelled so good. Our first stay at this location and we enjoyed it. The view of the bay was great. Watching the sunrise each morning was amazing. Will definitely be back.

We had a great time!
