This 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom home sleeps up to 22 guests and features recent updates throughout, a private LED-lit pool, and a dedicated theater room.

The Space:

Bella Vista, hosted by Current Tides, is a spacious 8-bedroom Gulf-front beach house in Gulf Shores designed for large families, group vacations, and reunions by the water. With room for up to 22 guests and direct access to the beach, this home offers the space, comfort, and location needed for an easy and memorable coastal stay.



Recently updated throughout, Bella Vista features refreshed décor, new flooring, updated furnishings, and brand-new beds and mattresses for a comfortable night’s sleep after long beach days. The open-concept living and dining area provides plenty of room to gather, while the fully equipped kitchen includes two refrigerators, two dishwashers, and generous counter space—ideal for preparing meals for a crowd. A private theater room adds a great option for movie nights or downtime indoors.



Outdoor living is just as impressive. The private Gulf-front pool (with optional heating) is perfect for relaxing after the beach, and the updated deck sits just steps from the sand. A private boardwalk provides direct beach access, making it easy to move between the house and the shoreline.



Located on West Beach in Gulf Shores, Bella Vista is within walking distance of West Beach Pass, where Little Lagoon meets the Gulf—a scenic and popular stretch of coastline. Covered parking and an elevator make arrival and unloading simple, especially for larger groups.



The home is thoughtfully laid out across three levels. The first floor includes a queen bedroom with full bath, the theater room, and the main living space. The second level features a Gulf-front primary suite with king bed and spa-style bathroom, an additional Gulf-facing king bedroom, a queen bedroom with private bath, and a custom queen-over-queen bunk room with personal TVs. A washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level. The third floor includes another Gulf-front king suite, an additional king bedroom with full bath, and a bunk room with four twin bunks—each with its own TV and private bath, offering great space for kids or teens.



Additional features include an outdoor shower, beachside deck, wheelchair-friendly bathroom access on the second floor, and multiple gathering areas for both indoor and outdoor time together.



Bella Vista is well suited for multi-generational families, large groups, and anyone searching for a private beachfront home in Gulf Shores with a pool and direct beach access.

Pictures are deceiving

We just had a weeks stay and we wanted to share our pros and cons to help you with your decision. Pros - having two refrigerators was very nice. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. The ice machine as handy and the pool was fun. Cons - furniture was gross. Didn’t want to sit on most of it. Your access to the beach is shared with the public. They are working on building up the beaches, so had very murky water and very annoying heavy equipment running literally right next to us. Only one washer and dryer and they don’t work that great. Clothes came out just as dirty as they went in. No umbrella on back porch so made it hard to enjoy sitting out there during the day and lighting was awful to sit at night. Deck gets so hot! Cannot walk on it without shoes.

Bella Vista

We brought our extended family (18 of us ranging from 1-65yrs) to stay at Bella Vista for fall break. The house was perfect for our needs and the double refrigerators and dishwashers made meals simple. The pool was small, but the kids had a blast in it and beach was just steps away. The only downside that was not explained was that the private walkway to the beach advertised also joined a public beach access that ran beside the house so we constantly had traffic beside and a few times up to our house. Otherwise, we loved our time at Bella Vista and made memories of a lifetime.

Would stay again

Nice home, lots of space and private baths. Well equipped kitchen. Take your own Keurig if you like to use kcups. It has two pots but both were drip brew. Ocean front, easy beach access. Maintenance responded when we needed and explained the first problem we were experiencing with elevator was because we didn't read instructions and the other was a known issue with planned repairs upcoming. Overall, the house is very nice and I would stay again.

Family Vacation

The house was great but there was a sad lack of tables. There wasn't one big enough to do a large jigsaw puzzle on except the dining table and the round low one you would have had to sit on the floor. I had to use my suitcase as a table in my bathroom so all my "stuff" would be available. And we needed light blankets because the duvets were too hot and the sheets weren't enough . Not sure what the others did but I used a beach towel. Our ice maker died and wasn't repairable so we missed that. But, all in all, it was a good vacation.

House great - traffic bad

No issues with house the bedrooms and bathrooms were the perfect setup for our family Wish we could have checked in on another day the traffic on Saturday was terrible! 7 miles took us 45 minutes totally unprepared for that! Also check your bill at restaurants we were charged 18% service charge for 6 of us. I decided to change that to 20%, but they added the 20% to the 18%.

It was a very nice & beautiful house!! It is in a really good location. It accommodated 14 people comfortably. We loved it!! We also had very pleasant experience with the people at Luxury Gulf Rentals any time we had to reach out to them for something. Side note: we really loved the whole house but we really liked having 2 fridges & 2 dish washers & an elevator!!

Fabulous for families

This property is exactly as advertised! It is very unassuming on the outside but once you get inside very modern and nice. It has 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators which was fabulous for cooking and clean up every night. The pool was great (thanks Robin from the management side on all your help!) and the walkway to the beach made it so easy to go back and forth. We used this for 3 families to vacation together and we would come back here anytime!! Highly recommend!

June 2020

Our group consisted of 2 families with 4 adults (parents) and 9 kids ages 13-21. The Bella Vista house had more than enough room for our families. The house was clean, had a recent face-lift and had amenities like the pool, large family room, ice-maker, large capacity washer/dryer, 2 fridges and 2 dishwashers which were all very convenient. The only negatives are the the lack of sun coverage on the deck and the park style grill was just completely inadequate for a house this size. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would rent this house again.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation!

We recently traveled from Arkansas for our Family Christmas Vacation. We had 6 families, 17 people total. Plenty of room for all of us! The elevator was wonderful for loading and unloading luggage. Kitchen was very spacious, 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers was ideal! We loved the boardwalk to the beach, and the balcony views. Being pet friendly was wonderful, and my puppy loved the beach! I think our favorite thing was that each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was perfect for a big family. Like I read in a previous review, keep in mind that 2 of the rooms have bunk beds. This was fine for us, we had a girls room, and a boys room, which worked great with our crew. The only hiccup we had was the entire time was the elevator had some issues the 2nd day we were there. I called into the rental company, and they had someone out that afternoon and the issue was resolved in about 10 minutes. They were wonderful to deal with, and very accommodating. I highly recommend this home to anyone with a large group. It was perfect. I would rent this home again for future trips to Gulf Shores.

Great Location

Great property we loved the location and felt the kitchen was well stocked . Our only issue was with the cleanliness of the pool which was unclean and over chlorinated. This being the case the rental agency immediately corrected the issue . The unit was starting to show its age and could use an update

Perfect spot!

There were 22 in our group and we all loved this place. We were able to get in early which was a huge help to those arriving early. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed including two crockpots, two coffee pots, two refrigerators, and two dishwashers. The place was very clean and comfortable. I think the most important thing for us was that the home was well equipped for our very large group including the elevator to get all our stuff up and down the three floors.
