About this property

Beautiful "Bella" Beach House in Carrabelle

Bella Carrabelle LLC is a beautiful beachfront two bedroom (both king) 2.5 bath beach home in the world-class fishing area of Carrabelle, FL. Gorgeous views, new appliances, quartz countertops and a well-appointed kitchen await the fresh seafood you’ll catch or buy in the local markets. (The crab cakes just down the road are amazing.) The beds and linens are top quality. Decor is classy and comfortable with an electric fireplace for ambiance. Even a new dock is in to enjoy.

This place is so beautiful there’s really only one name it could have—Bella! You'll have the whole house.

Plenty of outdoor furniture including two hammocks, Adirondack chairs and loveseat with fire-pit coffee table. Mermaid corn hole boards for fun. It’s nice and cool under the house. We do have good AC.

The beach is soft and sandy. It’s not a swimming beach (lots of natural grasses in the shallow water), but the fishing is amazing right out front and we do have a few rods and reels and basic tackle to use during your stay. And we have two kayaks and two SUPs. You’ll have to answer a few questions for us before you can use them, but if you’re sensible and responsible, you’ll enjoy them at no additional charge.

Both bedrooms are KING beds. Two sofas (one in the loft upstairs and the other in the living room) both open up for queen size sofa beds.

TV is BIG and new in the living room and we have smaller TVs in the loft and in the bedroom upstairs. WiFi is good for streaming and we do have streaming services.

A beautiful desk makes an out-of-the-way office area in the loft if you have to work during your stay. WiFi isn’t 5G, but it works for virtual meetings!

We can recommend two charters for fishing excursions: Chip Leavine of FC Charters 850-583-1354 and Joe Bright 850-661-7296. Johnnie Candle in Nov-Dec-Jan. Great fishing also right out front. We have a NEW DOCK (yay!!!) so old pictures might not show it, but it's so nice.

Message us if you have any questions. This home is not managed by one of those management companies that runs everything to the ground before they repair or maintain it. No way! This is our beach house and it’s gorgeous. If you take good care of her, you can enjoy it also.

PS We are dog people so if you travel with a dog we get it. And we can make it work. Dogs must be well behaved, crated when guests are away and not allowed on furniture unless you bring blankets to cover the furniture.

PSS No smoking in the house! We are okay with outside smoking on the property but not indoors.

Fabulous Getaway!!!

My husband and I were looking for total rest & relaxation!!! Bella did not disappoint!!! From fabulous sun rises and daily dolphin & eagle visits to the gorgeous full moon casting its glow over the water…we were so relaxed the owners Jim and Katherine provided everything we could ever need. From the fully stocked kitchen, dreamy king size bed and linens, great water pressure in the shower, comfy and plentiful seating inside and out, great firepit table, beautiful furniture and decor, gorgeous fireplace, kayaks, SUPs, corn hole, hammock and porch Swing. The. hosts also provided a basket of goodies and checked in on us when a severe storm was in the area. Their home is located close to Carabelle Beach and a darling little park. St. George Island and Apalachicola were a short drive away and highly recommended. We will definitely return. recommended. suswing.

Can't really say anything bad. The house is beautiful, the views are stunning, the owner communicates with you. The prices are reasonable. It's the perfect location if you want to get away and not deal with lots of crowds.

Great Location

The property lived up to our expectations. Great views, great location. We were pleasantly surprised to find a beatiful new dock on the property. Spent our time relaxing and fishing from the dock. Owner made the extra effort of welcoming us as they caught a flight traveling in Europe. Will happily rent this house again in the future.

Great Spot

Very nice location and a beautiful home. Nice private water access, close to the tiny fishing town. Would definitely recommend. Take a 15min drive and you get awesome views of the dolphins in the area. Would highly recommend the Marine Bar & Grill! Great times.

Perfect Little Getaway

The beach house was everything we could have asked for. It was well stocked in the kitchen, laundry room, and board games for those rainy days. The kayaks and paddle boards were provided to us and we enjoyed getting out into the Gulf a bit. We definitely look forward to another trip.

Great family time away

A beautiful house perfect for our family getaway. We had plenty of room for 6 of us. A stocked kitchen and little welcome additions made our welcome more pleasant. We did a lot of fishing and paddle boarding, made smores and just relaxed. Location was great, between Apalachicola and Panacea. The new dock was great and we were able to rent a pontoon and keep it overnight. Kristine was great in responses leading up to and during our stay. So pleasant. Couldn't have asked for more.

About the host

Hosted by Kristine Houtman

Host profile image
We just love Carrabelle and think you will, too. Look at our reviews! It's true--everybody loves Bella Carrabelle and we're glad we can share her with you!

Why they chose this property

World-class fishing is right out the door! The small-town vibe is exactly what we love.

What makes this property unique

Our place isn't big but it's super nice. Max 6; it's two bedroom (both king) with two sofa beds (one in the living room and one in the loft). The views are absolutely incredible in this house. You won't want to sleep in as the color explodes for each sunrise. It's incredible. The full size laundry is nice and we supply almost anything you'd need without feeling like you have to run out to the store for essentials. And if you love coffee -- we have an incredible coffee bar! Check out the pics. Hope you'll come to Bella Carrabelle.
