| The Phifers, Kidds, Glovers and Smiths just enjoyed their best family reunion in many many years at La Vita Bella. There were 16 of us that used LVB as our family headquarters. The central location to the beach, shopping and restuarants made this a great experience that we hope to repeat the next time we get together. We were mostly adults with only a few kids, but LVB handled all of our needs. Penny made this trip one to remember. Thank you for all of the memories. |

| We had a wonderful time at La Vita Bella! The house is beautiful inside and out(and very clean)! The pool is great! It is private and beautifully landscaped. Surfside was such a cute little community. We loved it and are already looking forward to returning next year! |

Vacation Date: June 28, 2008
Our family vacation at LaVitaBella was total fun and relaxation. Everything in the home and in the area was so convenient.
The home was super clean with an "at home" atmosphere. We did the linen package and it definitely was enough with lots to spare.
The beach access was really close as described. We used the pool (which was very clean and had plenty of chairs) a lot with a 4 yr. old and a 1 yr. old.
In short---this home and area was fantastic.

| We had a great stay. Our family loved the beautiful house and our grandchildren loved the pool and beach. We had everything we needed and everyone in our family agreed we should plan another vacation. Penny was terrific and very accomodating and helpful. Thanks so much for your preparation and sharing your place with our family. |

Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in you lovely beach home. Everything about the home is perfect. Everything we needed was provided in the home. We loved the private pool and the ocean view from the porch was awesome. Thanks also for letting our little dog come along as she is a big part of our lives. We will be back! To anyone reading this, if you haven't stayed at La Vita Bella, you should! It is the best trip to the beach we have ever had.
Thanks again!! |

| We had a marvelous time in your home. The company was great, weather was great except for a little tropical storm and a dog bone falling from the sky. I think the guys really bonded during this trip. Can't wait to come back again. |

| GREAT PLACE. Clean and only minutes from the beach. We have already talked about coming back next year. I would highly reccommend this vacation house to anyone else. The kids loved the beach and pool. |

Your home is beautiful! We loved everything about it from its location to how tastefully it was decorated.
We stayed at La Vita Bella in July of
'06 and July of '07. Since we fly to Myrtle Beach, we don't have room for a lot of extras and it was wonderful to find that the home was so well equipped.
A great time was enjoyed by family and friends. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

| It was a great stay. We had a ton of fun. The beach was wonderful as it was just a short walk away. Will definitely keep in my back pocket for next year. |

We spent our second year at La Vita Bella. We had a wonderful vacation. We appreciated how well stocked the house was and loved the additional decor. The entire family fell in love with LaVita Bella 2 years ago and we are looking forward to our return visit in 2008 with much anticipation.
The owners have been very helpful and accomodating.

We just got back home from our wonderful vacation at La Vita Bella. What a wonderful week it was. It was a family vacation that included our small dogs, and we all just loved that. The weather was great, the pool was great, and we enjoyed helping the frogs out of the water on a nightly basis. Very nice home, we will go back.

| We had a wonderful week. The house was great. The common area was much bigger than it appears in pictures. We probably spent more time in the pool than the ocean. The kids loved it. The only thing we didn't have was a crib and that wasn't necessary since there was a pack-n-play and a baby gate, which we hadn't expected. We'd love to come back again. |

We had a wonderful week at LaVitaBella. It was everything and more of what we anticipated. You were so helpful and went the extra mile. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony,the beach,the pool and the home was decorated so lovely. Allyson loved her Nemo room and the crib worked out fine.Thank you for recommending the Beach Strollertoo. She really used the pack'n play for her naps downstairs. You thought of everything! It worked out great!We hope we can coordinate everyone's schedule for another week at LaVitaBella.It had all the comforts of home!Some golfed, deep sea fished(caught 7 fish),we all dined outfor dinners together and had a wonderful time.Allyson enjoyed feeding the fish at Broadway at the Beach.Thank you for letting us share your home.
P.S. We enjoyed your family pictures and
the wreaths your family made are beautiful. Thank you'all again.

| The house is much more than we expected. The kids absolutely loved it! Grets for my mom as well with the bedroom downstairs. The pool is the best. There's nothing better than coming back from the beach, hot and sweaty, showering off at the shower outside and then jumping into the beautiful pool. A fantastic ending to a fun day. All of the amenties were as described - perfect! Agreat house for a family get away! Thanks for allowing us to share your beautiful home! |

| Fantastic. Best vacation we have ever had with our family! Sons are adults and it was the first time our grandson was able to take a vacation with his father. Took other family members with us and all agreed that everything about La Vita Bella was fantastic. We spent more time in the pool than the ocean, even swimming in the rain at night. Brandon (7) never wanted to leave the ocean or the pool. Would definitely recommend La Vita Bella to anyone. Everything perfect! |

We just got back from our 10 day stay in La Vita Bella!!! We absolutely loved it and did not want to come home. This home is absolutely breath taking. Everything about it is perfect! My husband I got married on April 23, 2006 on the beautiful shores of Surfsdie Beach. The weather was perfect and so was the house. The location is absolutely perfect and the views of the back deck are very beautiful. We loved that we got to bring our little Boston Terrier Madison! She absolutely loved the house and the beach! Thanks so much!!!
Jacob, Laura and Madison Smith! |

Thank you for sharing your beach house with our families. It was a great vacation - and the beds were very comfortable!
The beach was great! Parasailing was fun as well as Le Grande Cirque at the Palace. Many great golf courses - mini ones too! Bubba's Fish Shack was good, Drunken Jack's better.
We will recommend your property to all our friends. Best Wishes! |
