beds are unacceptable

Loved every part except beds. Really should have 1/3 refund due to bed situation. Looked at reviews after I was there. My bad. Your bad since you knew how bad the beds where. Pregnant daughter cried every night. She tried all the beds and couch. If we hadn't met out of state family there we would have left after first night and requested a full refund! Master bed one side had a sunken hole where my whole body fit into. Other side 1/2 hole. Other beds felt like cardboard. Half of living room couch was sunken in like a very heavy person used it for many days. This property is really nice so y'all having this kind of bed(worse than Motel 6) is atrocious. Would stay at Bella Riva again but not your unit.

Second stay just as great as the first

We've been vacationing on Okaloosa island for 30+ years. The Bella Riva is our favorite place we've stayed. We rebooked the same condo in 2022 knowing we'd be returning with our 6 month old son. This year we traveled with 5 adults and a baby. The condo is large enough that everyone has there own space. My crying baby didn't wake up any of my family members. The master bathroom is spectacular, and that shower is a great way to end the day after being on the beach. The kitchen is perfect for cooking large family meals. The ice machine is a game changer. The pool is the perfect compliment to a day on the beach. It was a great vacation and we can't wait to be back in 2025. My only complaint would be that both queen beds need to be replaced. They are not very comfortable (could hear and feel the springs) and the bed was so loud when moving around it did wake the baby sleeping in the same room a few times.

Beach Week

The first thing multiple family members said was that the pictures did not do justice for the condo. All of our expectations were exceeded and then some. We were amazed about how spacious the condo was and the the kitchen we all wished we could pack up and take home with us. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Family Spring Break

Third spring break at Okaloosa Island, first time staying at this place. Every year we are blessed with great weather and great places to stay. This year might have been the best. Loved the property. Love the fact it is closer to the West end of the Island and a little less busy on the beach. Enjoyed watching the dolphins play in the waves and feed from the balcony. Loved that there is enough room for everyone to have their own bedroom and bathroom. Really loved the tub and shower in the master bedroom. One recommendation, add access to a broom in the apartment. Thank you for a wonderful stay. One recommendation. Add access to a broom in the appartment.

An Excellent Place

The place is beautiful. Luxurious and spacious with plenty of comfortable furniture for 6 of us to have our own space when we wanted quiet time. The lanai is large and has several seating arrangements to enjoy the amazing view. The large round table was perfect for family games. The kitchen is great and we loved having an ice maker. It may be the nicest that we have enjoyed as a family. The Owner is very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this condo.

Vacation 2021

Love this property. The property was large enough for our family of 8. Love the fact that every room had its own private bathroom and it was so roomy. We felt like we were at home. The owner of the property answered promptly when I had a question and was so friendly. Can't wait to go back next year.

How to vacation during a hurricane and Covid!

Hurricane IDA is coming and Florida is a Covid hotspot – so where we did we go – HERE! This place was so wonderful. It is located on the far side of the beach which was perfect place as it was less crowded. The view is nothing short of a fantastic. We don’t like higher floors so the 4th was perfect. We learned though that the building was only five floors. The larger patio was wonderful perk. There is free chair service everyday on the beach! While we did not use this perk we could appreciate those that did. Watching them set up every morning was a little like watching an art installation. The condo is very well appointed and while there were only two us, there is enough room for a larger group. The stove in the kitchen – well, we wanted to take it home. The location was very good as well. Getting to Destin proper or further into Ft. Walton was no more than a 30 minute drive in either direction. Yes, there was two days of hurricane weather where we got cozy on the sofa and read and watched a ton of tennis but then came the sun and the lovely pool called out names every morning after that. There is no doubt we will be back.

Perfect Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay with my family at Bella Riva! Perfect location between Destin & Pensacola, the white sand and clear water was beautiful, we usually have to go to the Caribbean to see anything close to this. Great restaurants, and more to do than we had time for. We will definitely be back! Thanks Rachelle for the wonderful communication throughout our stay and thank you to Randy for immediately addressing the one issue we did have. TOP NOTCH all the way around...

Perfect roomy condo!

My family had a nice stay at Bella Riva last week. The condo was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of room and then some for 6 of us. We loved the large family room and kitchen. The kitchen had everything we needed for staying in and cooking. We did a lot of eating in due to corona. Also, the best part to me was the oversized balcony with comfortable furniture, we spend a lot of time on the balcony when we go to Okaloosa Island, and there was plenty of furniture for all of us. We had no problems with anything and would definitely stay here again.
