CC006: Bella Costa (Formerly The Player)

Dearest Gentle Reader! (or new owners of Bella Costa, formerly The Player) We recently rented Bella Costa for a family week after Christmas. Our families came from Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania and we were a total of 15 people at our peak. This same crew gathered at The Player over two years ago – and what a different experience it was this time around! We returned for the breathtaking views of the sound and the jaw dropping sunsets we had witnessed before, but your renovations of the home took our experience to a new level of enjoyment. Congratulations and thank you! Our family, ranging in ages 16 to 84, enjoyed lazy breakfasts, sit down dinners, corn hole, Wicked, photos on the deck, star gazing, and best of all, we left with memories. Your updated kitchen allowed us to center activities around delicious meals. Bedrooms were spacious, updated and meticulously decorated, bathrooms dazzled in every room, laundry (took us a little while to learn) was a breeze, and we all appreciated the quietude coupled with laughter. And then you sent the amazing gift baskets? Treats and wine were welcomed and devoured! At one point, I researched purchasing The Player, but I realized how much work it would take to have it reach its true potential. But you did it and it was appreciated! If our stars align, we will return. Until then, I wanted you to know how much we appreciated the transformed Bella Costa. Wishing you the best, Laura Chambers

While the weather was not ideal, we had an amazing time in your recently renovated house. The spacious common room areas were beautiful, relaxing and entertaining. We spent a lot of time making food in the huge kitchen and everyone agreed the house offered plenty of room and amusement for all ages. While our kids wanted to go to the new Sugar Planet everyday, we adults made frequent trips to Harris Teeter. We always have an amazing vacation in this neighborhood.

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. The great area is very comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen is wonderful! I loved cooking in it. Our family enjoyed movie nights in the theater room. All the bedrooms were comfortable. The pool and decks area is large and a fun space. It took 2 times of pool cleaning to see its beautiful color. This is truly one of the nicest homes that we have stayed in at OBX. Our weather this week was perfect, no rain! The sunsets from the multiple pool deck areas was amazing! The community offers nice amenities.

Your home is absolutely stunning. Its was exactly the break that we needed from the craziness that is NY. Your décor style is beautiful. We hope to some day be able to visit it again. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful soundfront home. Plenty of space and in a nice community. Our only concern was the cleanliness of the pool but after 2 cleanings it was nice. Lots of spiders soundfront so we had to spray for spiders. We enjoyed our family vacation.

Bella Costa was amazing, will most definitely stay again when the weather is much warmer. The kitchen remodel was fantastic which was used all week. The bathrooms on every floor was stunning and the heated floors was a very nice added touch, downstairs area with the movie room was an added plus for all to enjoy, and the house had more than ample space for entertaining purposes. We just absolutely loved this house!!
