Spectacular & Spacious Hideaway: 1 Min WALK to the Beach, NO Streets to Cross!

BEACH HOUSE DESCRIPTION & AMENITIES:
We would like to invite you to spend your vacation at our private oasis, tucked away by the ocean shore. Bella Villa is a delightful home-away-from-home, steps away from the secluded sands of the North End of Virginia Beach and only a two-mile drive (or walk) to the fun and activities at the infamous Virginia Beach Boardwalk.

This beautifully furnished and privately-owned beach home is STEPS AWAY FROM THE BEACH. You do not need to cross the road - the house is ON THE OCEANSIDE...so very safe and convenient with small children. The home captures the ambiance and charm of a private shore getaway and authentic beach living with luxurious decor.

Spacious and ideal for families with children, couples, and small group retreats, there is always something new to discover at Bella Villa. Listen to the sounds of the ocean from the back deck, enjoy a fun barbecue in the private, fenced-in backyard sanctuary, relax in the refreshing outdoor shower after a sunny day at the beach. Lovely and tasteful with comfortable furniture and new appliances. There is also an extensive, curated book and movie library for your entertainment, and we welcome you to use our beach equipment, beach cart, surfboard, boogie boards and toys during your time on the beach.

An added bonus is the highly-rated and award-winning First Landing State Park, complete with trails, bike paths and lakes, located only one block away from the beach house. A must-see. And don't miss the massage institute and organic cafe at the Edgar E. Caycee campus, only five blocks away.

Great location
My family (wife, parents, and triplets) stayed here in August of 2012. Very nice location really close to the beach (cross no streets), and a nice house layout that worked well for the family. The owner was incredible to work with, and you could tell that they really cared about you have a great vacation. Beach supplies came in handy, and the beach is incredible... wide, not crowded, and just a beautiful spot. I would highly recommend a beach picnic, get your sandwiches from Taste Unlimited. Hopefully will stay there again.

Great stay
We had a great time during our stay. The house was clean- had everything we needed and had a great location to the beach. There’s a bonus of a lot of beach toys in the outdoor shed- so you aren’t spending a bunch of extra money to make beach trips more comfortable or entertain the kids. The beach is a couple miles off the boardwalk - so even on 4th of July it wasn’t too crowded at all. We were able to see fireworks from either direction that night which was great.

Location, location, LOCATION!!!
If you are looking for a property in the quiet North End with great beach access, this is the place! We visited with our 3 grandchildren and two daughters. House fit us well. Every beach need is in the shed. Outdoor hot/cold shower means no sand need get in the house. Beach is empty and beautiful Hosts Diana and Daniel were SUPER responsive to even the smallest need. Hope to come back next summer.

VA Beach house
Our stay was good.The house was well laid out and secure with outdoor recording cameras. The proximity to the beach is great and parking is spacious. Three bathrooms are a big plus. The area is quiet We were misled into thinking this is a stand alone house when it is a duplex. There were multiple flys in the house when we arrived that took us 3 days to kill completely. The trash is the source. There are no linens and towels provided which make it very difficult for those travelling a long distance. For the price of the rental the linens and towels should bemprovided. The outdoor shower was infested with spiders. When we used the outdoor grill, we could only get one burner to light

Great house, great week
We enjoyed our week at Bella Villa. Size was perfect for out family of 8. including a toddler. Listing said steps from beach, with the pictures we assumed the wooden walkway was out the backyard. But it was at the end of the block. Not terrible but it was more walking than I expected with a small toddler. Kitchen was well stocked, had everything we needed. Would stay again if we had not determined we need a house with a pool for convenience especially on the off and on rainy days.

Traditional Beach House with easy access to beach
I've been coming to the North End of Virginia Beach for over 50 years, and have watched the character of the houses there change greatly over the years. Used to be the houses were very compact with small rooms, low ceilings, saggy mattresses, and the barest of amenities. Part of the fun was trying to make do with some number of constraints: missing measuring cups/spoons; weirdly sized pots and pans without lids; sand in the washer; and never enough sharp knives. That was the kind of experience I figured I'd be getting with this property, and was pleasantly surprised by the property. Yes, the bedrooms are small and dark, and the kitchen is tiny, but the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the shed in the back contained a dozen beach chairs, 3-4 boogie boards, numerous umbrellas, and a Roll-O cart, all in great working order. My family gathered out on the patio for storytelling and giggling, and enjoyed quiet naps in the afternoon. Only downside I can think of is that the wifi struggled with so many devices, but the property owner reacted quickly when I inquired and was able to upgrade the bandwidth in a day.

My happy place
I’m a longtime visitor to Virginia Beach. It has been my happy place since my childhood. Sadly, after my father’s passing, we could no longer afford to keep our little family vacation home, but i continue to plan my summer trip there. The Bella Villa was such a great spot for our tradition. Next year I just need to find a larger house so we can all play together there. I will definitely consider staying in Bella Villa again!

Great quiet beach vacation in North Beach
What a wonderful location! We stayed with a family group including grandparents, parents, and kids. We brought our bikes and went for morning rides in the state park across the street. We came back and took the shaded walkway about a 1/4 of a city block from the front door over the dunes and onto the beach. If we hadn't been so tired at night, we could have driven the short distance down the road to many restaurants, mini golf, and other activities. The beach was quiet and perfect and so was the house. The family staying next door had a very upset toddler at night and were very apologetic, but we didn't hear a thing through the walls. Just a lovely vacation.

Ahhhhhhhh
Location is great...just a few houses from the beach. Most houses were empty, as was the beach. We had it almost all to ourselves. Back deck was nice to catch some air, but the flies and mosquitoes made sure we didn't stay long :-( . Very nice gas grill. We all had private bathrooms...no sharing! Kitchen was well equipped.

Perfect for Kids
This property was perfect for our Thanksgiving travels. The kids could walk to the beach everyday and enjoy the jets flying overhead. There were plenty of bedrooms inside with a bedroom on the main level perfect for grandparents. The owner replied quickly when we contacted them during our stay. I was only upset with the cleanliness of the bathrooms when we arrived.

Spectacular oceanside hideaway forsure!
It was a very clean and beautiful home. It had all of the amenities that you would need while on vacation. Rooms are spacious and cozy. I can't express what a great location the house is and beach, it's just a few steps from the beach that wasn't over crowded with people. Which is very nice when you have children! !!! You don't have to search for them thur a crowd. It's close enough to downtown area. This place is a perfect hidden jem! My family and I can't wait to go back! !!
