Bella Villa was a dream come true! We had our wedding on the property and then had a stay-cation with family and friends.
Everything was perfect! The property is gorgeous, clean and plenty of space.
Best decision to have our wedding at a vacation rental rather than a venue for a few hours.
We had a family reunion at Bella Villa. The Estate is incredible with plenty of space for our entire family to stay on the premises. We made so many memories at Bella Villa during our short stay. Inside and outside were well manicured and clean. Planning another trip back!
I am so glad our wedding planner recommended Bella Villa for our destination wedding. This place is gorgeous, super spacious, and has a private beach! It was the perfect location for our wedding. Our group of family and friends definitely enjoyed ourselves and made a lot of memories!
My husband and I highly recommend Bella Villa.
Any questions?
Our wedding at Bella Villa was a literal dream come true! The views, the beach, and the whole vibe were just perfect. It felt like something straight out of a fairytale. Everyone had the best time, and the photos turned out amazing with the stunning backdrop! We are so happy we found Bella Villa.
Our family reunion at Bella Villa was perfect! With plenty of space in the mansion and guest houses, we all felt right at home. The private beach and dock were a highlight! We loved going on the dock and watching the sunsets and Blue Angels practicing. A dream come true!!
The entire experience at Bella Villa was exceptional. We will be booking again.
Bella villa was the perfect property for our annual friends fishing trip! The property was clean, spacious, and basically had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. The location was unbeatable, close to excellent fishing spots. The owner was very helpful and answered many of our questions.
We had an awesome time and will definitely be back!
I recently got married at Bella Villa. I could not have asked for a better venue. The entire property was gorgeous. My entire family/wedding party was able to sleep onsite, since there are multiple houses. We loved the natural beauty of all the palm trees, tropical plants, and of course the million dollar view the water! The beach are was perfect! We had such a great time spending time with family and friends at Bella Villa while celebrating the best day of our life! I am so thankful to have found this property.
I cant say enough good things about Bella Villa and the owners! Bella Villa is a gorgeous venue, providing multiple options for arranging your rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all at one location. Spacious accommodations for the entire wedding party in separate villas right next to each other, and is a photographers dream with so many different spaces to capture incredible portraits. Luxury meets coastal at Bella Villa, providing an elegant event with the relaxation of being at the beach! The owners are extremely kind and provided excellent communication throughout the entire planning process, providing that extra peace of mind that is so needed while planning a wedding. The location is so beautiful to begin with that very little is needed to create a fairytale event to make every brides dreams come true.
And as if all of that wasn’t enough, the wedding party and family had a blast during our stay as well. The private beach provided the perfect hang out for everyone to relax during the days leading up to the wedding, the spacious lawn was a fun place for games and the multiple balconies provided the perfect space for late evening snacks and chats with friends! We are so thankful for every detail of Bella Villa and would 100% book it again if given the chance!
Bella Villa has surpassed all of our wedding dreams! Our guests were blown away with how the property is so beautiful inside and out. We made our wedding more of a vacation feeling! We arrived a few days earlier and spent time with family and friends enjoying the property and then had our ceremony/reception. After the wedding we all relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of Florida. I would never of had my wedding any other way. The property is very large and all 3 houses slept a lot of family. Thank you Bella Villa for allowing us to have the wedding of our dreams.
Best experience. Bella Villa is gorgeous. We were so happy to find a vacation rental to accommodate family and friends while allowing us to have our wedding in the same location. Best wedding and vacation week!
Best decision!
Absolutely amazing! Bella Villa was perfect for our family reunion. The location, spacious accommodations, and abundance of amenities made for an unforgettable experience. Everyone had a blast and we're already planning our next visit.
Five stars without a doubt!
Where do we even begin to express our gratitude for the unforgettable experience we had at Bella Villa Estate for our outdoor wedding? From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of pure magic and elegance.
The sprawling estate, nestled directly on the water with its own private beach and dock, provided a breathtaking backdrop for our rehearsal, ceremony and reception!
One of the things that truly set Bella Villa apart was the flexibility it offered. Unlike other venues with strict time constraints, we were able to extend our celebration well into the evening, dancing under the stars and savoring every moment with our loved ones.
And speaking of our loved ones, they were absolutely blown away by the beauty and elegance of Bella Villa Estate. From the charming main mansion to the guest houses, every corner of the estate exuded warmth and hospitality. Our guests were treated to a truly unforgettable experience!
In short, our wedding at Bella Villa Estate was nothing short of perfection. We are endlessly grateful we found this property. If you're searching for the perfect venue for your special day, look no further than Bella Villa Estate. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
Love Chris and Candi
A dream wedding at Bella Villa-Pure Elegance
Bella Villa made my childhood dream come true with the most stunning beachside mansion wedding! From the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew it was perfect. The ceremony overlooking the water at sunset was simply breathtaking, and the reception, complete with a live band and late-night laughter, was beyond amazing. The morning after, an outdoor catered brunch set the perfect tone before our boat adventure. Bella Villa exudes prestige and luxury, with its beautiful houses and landscape. Our guests were in awe, and we feel incredibly lucky to have discovered this diamond! We can not express how much we enjoyed and feel in love in with Bella Villa. It truly made our wedding an unforgettable experience!
Unforgettable Experience At Bella Villa.
My experience at Bella Villa was absolutely phenomenal! Choosing this venue for our wedding was the best decision ever. The freedom to personalize our celebration made it truly special. Our guests enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere during our wedding, staying the entire night without feeling rushed!
Have the rehearsal, ceremony and reception all in one place was incredibly convenient. The Estate's beauty exceeded our expectations, providing a stunning backdrop for the best day of our lives. Bella Villa is the perfect location for anyone seeking a memorable and picturesque wedding. Also, the owner Trish is very sweet and very responsive, we really appreciated that!
FIVE STARS without a doubt!
Choosing Bella Villa for our stay was the best decision ever. Being close to the Navy base was convenient for my husband, and hosting our 3-day extravaganza with 150 guests was a breeze. The stunning mansion and guest houses accommodated our family and close friends perfectly. Our beautiful wedding at Bella Villa made it an unforgettable experience – so grateful we found this gem!
Bella Villa is absolutely stunning! Our wedding was a dream come true with the picturesque lawn overlooking the water and beach. The three houses were perfect for the wedding party and family. Our guests had a fantastic time, and we're overjoyed with our choice. Trish, the owner, is a gem – incredibly responsive. We wish we had booked a few extra days to fully savor the beauty of this estate. Highly recommend for a magical wedding experience!
Our stay at Bella Villa exceeded our expectations. Our family enjoyed our stay in the main house and the loft. It was the perfect place to have everyone together with enough room for everyone to have their own space. The property was well maintained and rooms were clean.
I enjoyed cooking some meals in the spacious kitchen on the Viking stove while enjoying the view of the water from the kitchen. We enjoyed relaxing on the hammock under the palm tree watching the sunset, my favorite experience of the trip. The kids loved playing in the sand and looking for hermit crabs, fishing off the dock, and kayaking. We rented a boat and explored the waters along the inlet and Johnson beach. The kids loved going to Johnson beach which was a few minutes drive by boat or car. The water was warm, clear, and calm. The sand on the beach was soft and the view was breathtaking. We saw dolphins from the beach. We bonded at night roasting marshmallows and making s'mores around the fire pit. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants and even had dinner outside under the covered patio. An added benefit was that we saw the Blue Angel jets fly near the property. My son is now obsessed with the Blue Angels after seeing them fly and visiting the naval museum Pensacola. It was a short drive to Walmart and Starbucks. We definitely want to come back to Bella Villa again. We loved our stay there!
Great experience! We are so happy we booked Bella Villa for our wedding. The property is beautiful. The houses are very well maintained and have elegance.
The best part about renting Bella Villa was we were able to have a stay-cation with family and friends after our big day! No rush to leave after the reception like other venues.
Exceptional experience! We will be back
Bella Villa is simply amazing! I had the wedding of a lifetime. It was a dream come true being in such a beautiful place made me feel blessed and beautiful. The homes were comfortable, accommodating and wonderfully decorated. The property was spacious enough for my wedding of 150 guests to enjoy the ceremony and the reception. We could not have asked for a better venue!

Beautiful home in a perfect location. Close enough to the beach, restaurants and attractions, but far enough to enjoy the peace and tranquility this home offered. The views were breathtaking as we watched the sunsets each night. Every family member from the oldest to the youngest enjoyed the numerous activities available. Special treats are seeing the blue angels practicing and flying overhead each day, and watching dolphins and manatees as they swam nearby

Bella Villa is an amazing venue! The Italian inspired architecture of the mansions, lush tropical landscape, and the water made the photo opportunities plentiful. We had our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception all at Bella Villa. Everything turned out better than I could imagine! The local is perfect and the property is beautiful inside and out. The owner of Bella Villa was so responsive, she was very helpful with any question we had. We toured other venues, nothing compares to Bella Villa especially the price.
Beautiful venue. I can not recommend Bella Villa enough. The outside are was perfect for the ceremony and the reception. We rented a tent with a dance floor which was awesome! At Bella Villa we had our rehearsal and dinner the night before the wedding. Everything turned out amazing. The Sunset during the wedding ceremony was breathtaking. The day after the wedding, we rented a boat from the marina 3 doors down and spent the day with family and friends on the water! All of our guests, 145 of them, said this was the most beautiful wedding and venue they have ever attended! I have to agree with them!
BELLA VILLA, I can't recommend it enough! Great location, beautiful inside area, great location, outside gardens, stunning architecture, plenty of space for a large party, awesome view of the water. It was my dream venue and I'm so grateful we spent the most important day of our lives celebrating at Bella Villa. The photo opportunities are plentiful to get amazing shots. My husband and I are already talking about renewing our wedding vows at Bella Villa. The owners were great to work with as well as Luxury Coastal Rentals. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Bella Villa was a dream come true! The property is amazing! The views are spectacular of the Gulf of Mexico! From arriving through the fancy gates, to all the beautiful landscaping, 2 houses on the property that are decorated with elegance, and the million dollar view from the back yard! All of our guests were amazed me could afford such a star studded venue. We felt like royalty at Bella Villa!
