About this property

Beautiful Seaside Cottage, Sports Club, Sleeps 6 + Free Attraction Tickets!

Bella Vista, an authentic Seaside cottage, holds the unique distinction of being the first building established in the Seaside area, originally constructed in 1981 on Tupelo Street. Originally serving as the sales office for Seaside, it has since been lovingly converted into a cherished home. The quaint beach décor, coupled with its expansive screen porch, makes it a timeless favorite for families seeking an authentic Seaside experience. Positioned just as the second house on Tupelo, it's mere steps away from the beach pavilion.

The cottage sleeps up to 6 with 2 queen bedrooms (each with a full bathroom), living room, dining room, snack bar, and kitchen all on one level. Spend your day at the beach or enjoy Seaside's private pool and tennis facilities.

Your stay at Bella Vista comes with Xplorie’s best activities! one ticket per day, per activity!

Delightful stay in a historic house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The kitchen was very well outfitted. Bathrooms were clean with plentiful supply of linens. Living room was comfortable and screened-in porch was marvelous. One drawback was the front bedroom, where the window covering was too sheer to provide privacy.

Ive been coming to Seaside for years but this trip i wanted to stay in Seaside instead of just driving there. Found a great place through VRBO and the rest was a breeze. Will definitely be booking this rental for another trip.

Superb Management

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The management team is the absolute best. Not only is this original Seaside Cottage super clean and organized, but they were able to locate my laptop computer and planner after we'd left the state, and mail it back to me immediately, with a calm, streamlined and systematic process. Unbelievable! And.... the free bikes we got with their bonus dollars, was great! We will stay with this company from now on! :)

Accommodations were great. Seaside fall break not so much.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’m giving this 4 stars because the property was great. It was clean, well decorated and had everything we needed. Owners even asked our opinion for any suggestions. We will definitely stay here again. That said, Seaside and the Sherriff Dept HAVE to get the teenagers under control during fall break. Screaming, fighting, screeching tires into the morning hours is not why we go to Seaside! As long as you can avoid these times you should have a great stay at this property. .

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in Bella Vista since my boys were babies. It is like our second home for a week each year. We absolutely love the simplicity of it. The short walk to the beach is perfect and being on the beach at the Tupelo pavilion is less crowded. We have made friends that we see year after year.

Great location not so great on the clean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a great location to Seaside center and the beach! However the house itself was not as clean as I would have liked nor was the kitchen well equipped. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. Every item in the kitchen we got out was dirty and had to be cleaned before use and I mean every single thing. Also the items provided in the kitchen to use were dirty, outdated, and very random. Cooking and baking were not easy in this kitchen.
