Bella Beach is offering these rates straight through into May.

On top of these rates, guests can rent three nights for the price of two at any of these homes until May 19. A Bella Beach spokesperson said: “A great example would be ‘Whale Tale,’ which is an oceanfront, two-story, three-bedroom, two-bath home with a small hot tub that you can get three nights for $500. Or get three nights at a two-bedroom, two-bath house with a hot tub for $366.”
