Enjoy walking, jogging, skating and bicycling throughout the neighborhood with charming white picket fences and pastel cottage homes or on the bike and running path that runs parallel to the beach just outside your door.

Come home and relax on the oversized covered porches with fans that surround the house and enjoy the beach breezes. Believe it or not... in the Summer, you can listen for the music of the ice cream truck!

Great stay! Awesome location and relaxing home

We loved our vacation! The home was clean and in the perfect location. It was close enough to walk to and from the beach with all our stuff and 3 kids, 2-3 times a day. It was also really close to Whole Foods and the mall. We all loved it!

Beach Getaway

Perfect location to enjoy the Crystal Beach area. Five minute walk to beach and restaurants. Quick drive to shopping/groceries. The living room and outdoor porch provide tons of living space to comfortably accommodate 8 people. Beds were comfortable, and master suite had really nice features (dual showers, tub, king bed). We’ll definitely return.

Beautiful home, well equipped, good location

Just stayed at this beautiful home for the past week. The home has everything you could need. Porches are lovely. We used the community pool often as we have young kids and it was never crowded. We were often the only ones there. Close walk to the beautiful white sand beach as well. Thanks for a great vacation!

Family Vaca

Enjoyed being so close to a LOT of places where we could walk, bike, or scooter! Being so close to the beach was a BIG plus! Only thing that was a bit disappointing to me was that there was no extra toilet paper, paper towels, or trash bags for as much as we paid to stay. Otherwise we had a great time!!

Beautiful house close to beach, community pool and great dining.

La Dolce Vita is a great property. Comfortable, convenient and well appointed.we especially loved the porches, cooking out and making use of the spacious kitchen. I was traveling with one other adult, two teenagers and two pre-teens. The house gave us all plenty of space to hang out together, or find a cozy place to retreat. I would definitely recommend this house and hope to go back for a return visit soon!

Sisters retreat

The house was beautiful, as was the neighborhood, close to the beach. Could have had some beach chairs, umbrella, beach wagon to use during our stay. Extra blankets and pillows would have been nice. Some of the outdoor lights were not working. Overall, I would stay there again!

Lovely home

The property was just as advertised. The decor was charming. Love the pouches on both levels. I do wish it had been more clearly explained as to which beach the property had access. I had some trouble with rental and set up of chairs and umbrellas. Ended up using Crystal Harbor which was closer than any other. Bedding was vomfortable

Beautiful & charming house!

House was great! We really enjoyed it, lovely setting & so close to the beach & pool. Few small issues, lamp on the porch didn’t work. No lights bulbs were in the lamp in the living room. Make sure to bring ur own tissues & napkins as there are none at the house. Be careful of the bath rugs in the bathroom, they slide on the slippery floors, can be dangerous!

Nice Florida beach house with wrap around porch!

House as described and 2 minute walk to beach. Kudos to cleaning crew as it was clean upon arrival. Only a few concerns was coffee pot didn’t work. I’m very familiar with type of pot and it overflowed so I think it may have been clogged by previous guests. Also, no comforter or blankets for queen and king size beds. It was cool at night and we had to purchase. Previous renters did not take out garbage. All were reported to property manager. Directions for streaming TV in king room and access for Fire stick would’ve been helpful. Great location for walking, golf cart, beach, and food. Would recommend for party of 6.
