Bella Vista House began as a personal home and evolved into a lived case study.
Every space reflects how people actually live — where dogs come in after muddy walks, how homes support entertaining, how storage creates calm, and how thoughtful planning allows a house to serve you through every season of life.
Bella Vista blends beauty, systems, hospitality thinking, and hands-on renovation experience — creating spaces that feel good and work effortlessly.
At its core, Bella Vista House is guided by wellness — designing homes that support daily rhythms, the nervous system, accessibility, and long-term living. Each decision is made with the understanding that how we live inside our homes directly impacts how we feel.
What We Do
-
Harmonious Interiors
Transform uninspired rooms into spaces that feel calming, intentional, and deeply yours.
Through design guidance, checklists, and curated recommendations, I help homeowners and builders think through layout, finishes, lighting, storage, and flow — creating interiors that support daily life and long-term use.
-
Intentional Living & Functional Design
Find more joy, ease, and well-being in the everyday through thoughtful systems and spatial planning.
From mudrooms and dog-wash zones to kitchens, bathrooms, and entertaining spaces, I design homes around how people truly live — with a focus on accessibility, multigenerational living, right-sizing, and aging in place.
-
Hospitality and Short Term Rentals
I bring the Bella Vista touch to hospitality spaces — merging beauty, intention, and operational clarity.
With experience setting up hotels and launching a four-star short-term rental, I understand what makes a property perform: intuitive flow, durable selections, and guest-ready systems.
I help property owners curate complete shopping lists, create SOPs and guest books, and use AI tools to streamline setup and operations.
From interiors to experiences, Bree brings the Bella Vista touch to every project — merging beauty, intention, and story.
Meet the Founder
Bella Vista House is guided by Bree Whitlock — a designer, project coordinator, planner, and hospitality-minded systems thinker with a deep sensitivity to how spaces feel, function, and support well-being.
Her work is shaped by lived experience renovating under pressure, designing for accessibility, integrating wellness into the home, and creating environments that support real life — not just the highlight reel.
About Bella Vista - The Origin House
Bella Vista House is a waterfront home renovated and reimagined during an emotionally complex season of life.
The project involved a condensed renovation timeline, coordination with subcontractors, full finish selection, and planning for accessibility and multigenerational living. One full floor was designed to be completely accessible, including a zero-threshold shower and structurally supported grab bars installed before tile.
This project shaped how I approach design, renovation planning, and intentional living.
