Bella Vista Inn & Sunset Bay Resort

Kelly Ullman

Just spent a Girls Weekend here. Was nervous reading the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. We all had a great attitude and fabulous time! Yes rooms are small, no coffee pot, no fridge, but we were there for the beach, which did not disappoint! Beautiful, sandy beach. No rocks. They comb the beach each morning to pick up drift wood. We literally walked out of our room, onto the beach. Everyone we interacted with was super nice and friendly. Can't wait to book our trip for next year! We did learn a few things, a broom would be helpful. We had coolers that we filled each morning with ice. Bring charcoal for the grills and smore sticks for the fire pit. Excited for our next visit!

Just what we needed to detox from work life! It's one of the best beaches in the world to enjoy for a really great price.  Beds were better than I though. Yes, the room needed airing and updating but that's to be expected since the tourist season is mostly the summer months.  I would bring a broom to sweep the floors occasionally or not. There is wonderful white sand everywhere. Maybe bring a door mat to wipe feet on.  The window air conditioner/heat is new and quieter than any other I've heard.  Basic rooms we stayed in did not have refrigerator, microwave or coffee makers. Coffee and two small bags of ice provided at the office.  There is a ledge for any plug-ins you bring. Firepits everywhere and everyone is gathered around.  More than enough tables provided to bbq and enjoy friends and family. If traveling with children remember all room doors look the same.  Maybe bring or have the kids make a decoration help find the right room? You can not connect to WIFI when you try even though they give you a good password. Leave your work at home and have fun. I had cell service my friend's carrier did not provide here. Read the reviews. Bring what you need. You get "way way" more than what you paid for. We loved life on the water and will be back next year and stay longer!

Great value! We spent an extra 10.00 and got a room that not only faced the beach but was about a 100' from the water. You simply can't beat this value in hotel/motels or air bnb's. I was surprised to see some negative reviews and quite honestly was a little concerned going in but this place completely delivered. A previous reviewer mentioned bugs in their room and the room being dirty. I did not experience any bugs in the room. I saw swarming mayflies down the road at the campground but we were bugless inside the room. The room was not dirty. I tracked sand in but it was hard not to because it was on the beach. The Bella Vista/ Sunset Bay offers mid century modern kitsch at a reasonable price and most importantly we were on a gorgeous sandy beach. fr

The beach and view is amazing. We faced west so we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. The rooms were nicely decorated . The staff was so pleasant. We enjoyed speaking with the owner Hershal. You can tell he really takes pride in his adorable beach motel. We will be staying again.Thanks so much for making our vacation memorable. .
