| Our stay was most enjoyable and this condo is suitable for all ages. We had from a 3 year old up to a 71 year old granddaddy! The housekeeper is to be commended. Everything was spotless when we arrived. This was our first family vacation in the Ft. Walton area and we really liked the area. Thanks for sharing your "home away from home" with us. |

We just got back from our vacation and really enjoyed this condo. The view of the ocean and beach is fantastic and we spent a lot of time out on the huge balcony. If you're into cooking you'll find everything you need in this very nice kitchen with high end appliances.
I would most definitely go back and would recommend this to anyone looking to vacation in the area. |

| We loved the unit. It has a fabulous view of the ocean with a big gorgeous deck. The kitchen is top notch and has a gorgeous master bedroom and bath. The media room worked well for us as a 4th bedroom. I would definitely recommend this unit. |

We were there June 13 - 20, 2009. The condo is even more luxurious and comfortable than the pictures give it credit for. We really did watch the dolphins playing in the ocean from the comfort of the huge balcony nearly every morning. There were 4 adults and two 12 year old boys on this trip, and the home was so spacious it felt like everyone had plenty of space.
You will not be disappointed with either the accommodations or the location - the future places you might stay will have trouble measuring up to this wonderful island paradise! |

| I highly recommend this unit for anyone considering a trip to the gulf. I do not think it gets any better than this! Unit 407 is top notch all the way. The unit is very spacious and can accomodate the needs of everone. The view is amazing. It is just water and no parking lot or people to see. The shower felt like a spa! I could go on forever but you need some surprises when you walk in the door! It is the "penthouse suite" of Fort Walton Beach! We'll definitely be back! |

| We had a very relaxing stay. The kitchen was fabulous and loved having the ice maker to fill our beach cooler. The bedrooms were comfortable; we loved the master suite and bath (as do our boys and their friends). The view was phenomenal |

| We just returned from our stay at Bella Riva unit #407. This is our 2nd year at Bella Riva and we love it. This condo is like home away from home. The kitchen is fabulous, bedrooms are very comfortable and extra towels are in each bathroom. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of Bella Riva; small, cozy atmosphere. Only a few steps from the beach. The view is amazing!! Tiffany was very helpful and always available to answer questions. We will definetly recomend this condo to anyone who would like to stay in this area. |

| This was our first stay at Bella Riva and we certainly plan on staying again. The entire condo is top notch. You can't beat the view of the beach and Gulf. We could not have asked for more. |

This was our first time to ever rent a condo much less visit the Destin area. We were unsure what to expect. Let me say we were more than pleasantly surprised. Even before we arrived, Tiffany was always on hand to answer any questions we had. This unit is simply beautiful. It is nicely decorated and VERY clean. The bed linens in the master are so comfortable. The provided beach towels are big and plush. The owners have paid attention to even the smallest details. The view is amazing and the location perfect. Close to the elevators, but not so close you can hear foot traffic. Parking is top notch as well (covered and right in front of the entrance). During the planning phase I had considered Azure. I am so glad that I went with Bella Riva instead. It's the Ritz Carlton of condos in the Destin/Ft. Walton area. Trust me. We plan on visitng next year and I will be reserving #407 again (you're stuck with us now)!!
Warmest Regards~ |

We really enjoyed the Bella Riva, we stayed in unit 407. It was very luxurious, and we loved the creature comforts...down comforter on the master bed, and the kitchen and bath were by far the nicest. We typically eat out when we are at the beach, but the kitchen was so nice we caught ourselves cooking a couple of nights. We will revisit.

| A great holiday escape! Labor Day was so enjoyable,we truly relaxed and recovered from the daily grind at this place.This condo had it all,the gulf coast views have a way of making you slow down and relax.When you have all the beauty that god and nature provides in this area and mix it with mans best accomadations life's just not bad.We turned off the phones and focused on our family.The kids loved the beach and its so easy to relax here.We cooked in a lot because it was fun to use the kitchen.We didn't plan on that,this unit has a Viking showroom so I had to give Paula Dean some competion.My husband loved the grill on the private balcony,he could watch football on the flat screen and the scenery of beach at the same while he fipped steaks and stayed close to the ice maker.[I'm sure he was watching the kids while they played below on the beach]We enjoyed the layout and beauty of this unit,it had something for everyone.I'm thankful that a customer told me about this place,that's one thing about cutting hair you get great tips on what to see,where to go and what to eat.This condo and beach was a great example of a good tip well used so I'm passing it on Bella Riva unit 407 for the best of the beach life. |

| Wow! I was blown away by the view when I first stepped into the condo! After I recovered from that I was once again blown away by the very upscale, professional decorating, and the high ceilings. It was hard to leave to go anywhere because the condo and view were so wonderful. An A+ for sure in my book. We have traveled to the beach quite a lot and this is the nicest condo we've ever stayed in! |

| My husband and I have visited the Okaloosa/Destin area many times over the past 10 years and Belle Riva is by far a class above the other resorts. It is first class all the way. It has a small condo feel with the conveniences of larger resorts. We loved the pool area and the fitness area. We stayed in unit 407. It is very elegant and luxurious, but yet comfortable. It is very spacious. The view is incomparable and the oversized balcony makes you feel like you are sitting right on the beach. There are beautiful granite counter tops on every counter in the condo. We loved the flat screen tv's in nearly every room. The kitchen...I've never seen anything like it! It is beautiful, and has everything, including a separate under the counter ice maker. I believe I could have stayed in the master shower all day! It is so relaxing with the deluge shower head and two other massaging shower heads. We loved being inside the condo almost as much as being on the beach! No matter what the weather, if you rent Bella Riva 407, you will have a great vacation! |
