Welcome to Bella 9
******Beach Nourishment Project Notice*****
There is currently a beach nourishment project taking place in the surrounding area. The project is scheduled to be completed by late September to early October 2025. During this period, portions of the beach may be fully or temporarily closed.
Bella Vita is a small 4 condo complex that sits Beach side in the heart of Indian Shores. This unit does not have a direct Gulf Front View.
All units have recently been updated with brand new living room furniture which includes a queen sofa sleeper.
There is no pool at Bella Vita , but the Gulf of Mexico is so close you can taste the salt in the air. Bring the whole family and the dog (1 dog per unit) (20lb weight limit) to this 1 bedroom/1 bathroom cottage that can accommodate 4 guests comfortably.
Bella 9 is on the 2nd floor and is located beach side with only another cottage sitting between it and the Gulf of Mexico. The bedroom has a queen bed and sits adjacent to the full size bathroom that offers a tub/shower combo.
A separate shared laundry room is available for added convenience. The large kitchen overlooks the living area and has everything you might need to cook your favorite meal or your catch of the day.
The complex is close to many local restaurants and shopping in the area. Clearwater Beach is located a short distance to the North and John's Pass in Madeira Beach is a short distance to the South. Both places are a great place to spend the day sightseeing and have an abundance of specialty stores to shop until you drop in.
Bella Vita is a great place to host your family reunion!
