Gorgeous Ocean Views in Modern Beachfront Home

La Vista Bonita, meaning the beautiful view in Spanish, lives up to it's name! This home sits oceanfront on a secluded white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Your feet hit the sand at the bottom of the stairs. This 3 bedroom home is perfect for families and couples looking to relax and unwind.

A serene retreat on Alligator Point located within Bald Point State Park creates a secluded, natural environment. During your tranquil walks on the beach you may not pass anyone else along the way. This is old Florida at its finest, known as the "Forgotten Coast".

The house itself was built in 2009 and extensively remodeled in 2024. The home is finished throughout with custom details and furnishings. The improvements done in 2024 include a new primary suite bathroom with a beautiful tile shower, new custom tile shower in the hall main bath, new blinds, painting, lights and many new pieces of furniture. The open floor plan offers living areas that include the kitchen, dining, and living room. Enjoy gorgeous ocean view from all windows, including the two large bedrooms upstairs. There are two covered decks with incredible views. Watch amazing sunrises and full moons from inside or out. See dolphins as they break the waves. Fish, hunt for shells, sunbathe, or just sit waterside with a cold beverage and take in the scenery. Ocean breezes and sunlit skies make for the perfect day!

DirectTV, Wifi, and a DVD player are included, along with a large selection of movies for adults and children.

Cook your catch of the day on the gas grill and enjoy your meal on the deck with view of the ocean. In the evening sit around the beach fire pit while gazing at the stars.

This home does not have an elevator and is not handicap accessible. The stairs as show in the pictures are the only access to the home.

A great house in a beautiful setting!
We loved the house. It was very comfortable and clean. The views were stunning. The stargazing at night was amazing. It’s a wonderful place to paddle board. We will definitely stay there again.

Great home away from home!
We had a short stay, but we enjoyed our time here a lot! The home is furnished with just about everything you could possibly need other than your food/drinks! Which makes everything even easier. We couldn't have asked for better! If you are looking for peace and quiet thos is definitely the place to stay

Nice Place
House was very nice and located in a quiet area. We felt really safe in this area. The water was clam. The only con would be we like a little more ocean depth and this was on a swallow area. We did like having all the beach toys and supplies that the owners let you borrow at no extra cost.

Nice house poor beach
The house was very nice to many steps up and down but very nice and clean. The only tv that worked was in the living room, Wi-Fi was in and out and the beach was horrible. Looked like nothing but seaweed and the ocean looked like a lake not like the gulf at all and also full of seaweed. We ended our stay shortly after arrival.

We had such a wonderful time! The house was a great place to stay. Although there were double red flags part of the time, we still had an amazing time. We saw dolphins and found lots of crabs! We had so much fun!

Absolutely fantastic. VRBO has been our "go to" for vacation since 2008. This was one of the best properties we have stayed at and will definitely be renting this one again! The house was beautiful, and the quiet beach was wonderful. Really enjoyed using the kayaks to get up close to the dolphins.

Just amazing. This home far exceeded our expectations!! So many little details, that all made us feel welcome and at home. The most beautiful views from almost every room in the house. We loved the welcome gift, walked the beaches, drank coffee at sunrise and even did a puzzle from the game cabinet. Highly recommended.

Old Florida at its best
If you are looking for a place to enjoy a beach atmosphere without a lot of people around, this is the place to be. The accommodations are great, and the recent renovation has made them even better. It was just my wife and I for an anniversary trip however, we are planning a family trip now. The Krehls

We had a great time staying here. You could not ask for any better of a view. The house was really close to the beach which made it extra easy having the kids out in the beach. We needed up booking another day last minuet and Brian was very easy to work with.

Relaxed and Recharged!
Wonderful long weekend at this very pretty home right on the beach. The house had everything we could want including a spectacular view from every window. Our family of shutterbugs took some spectacular pics including sunrises, beach shots, crabs, storm pics- even a deer swimming in the ocean one morning!! The owners are super friendly and very responsive. Will book again!!

Wonderful beach staycation!
The highlight of our stay was definitely the incredible view from every window in the house. Waking up to the sight of the ocean and sunrise was truly refreshing. The convenience of the house steps away from the beach was unmatched, especially with young children. However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. Upon arrival, we noticed dog hair scattered around, which was definitely not ideal with toddlers. We understand dogs are allowed on the property but hoped the home would have been cleaned more thoroughly because of it. Overall we had a great experience and a relaxing week!

We really enjoyed this beautiful home! It had more condiments than you would expect at any rental! It was so close to the beach that the kids could walk back and forth without worry! Any time I reached out to Brian he responded within minutes! It had a huge trailer full of beach supplies at our use! Also the rental was close to all food places! We will definitely return!

Return to Bonita Vista
The Vista Bonita definitely lives up to its name, this is our second visit to the home and its spectacular views of the Gulf. Its the perfect place to relax and recharge with all the natural sounds and beauty of nature surrounding you. Whether its was a walk on the secuded beach, or a hike at Bald Point State Park, and kayaking the waters of the Gulf, or a little surf fishing on the shore, or just lounging around, our family trip was amazing. The home is very comfortable and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. The host are wonderful and attentive, and their welcome package is a lovely touch to begin your stay. We look forward to a longer stay.
