Amazing property and everything just as advertised. The owner was very communicative and even let us get in right when the cleaners finished. We cannot wait to come here again. RIGHT across from the beach. Not even a 3 minute walk.

We loved this property. As a former VRBO vacation rental owner we have high standards, and this host did an excellent job of meeting and exceeding our expectations. The property was super clean, well stocked and conveniently located. We could walk to the Blue Parrot for dinner and drinks anytime we wanted...as well as to the beach to layout for the day. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely be back!

Island Bliss -

We have vacationed in St. George since 2001. This was probably our favorite place to stay. Island Bliss is absolutely perfect- comfortable, clean, convenient location to everything, steps to the beach and Ashley is a lovely host. We hope to return again!

Ideal beach stay

This property is lovely, and so close to the beach and restaurants! We liked the layout (bedrooms and bathrooms on the entry level, kitchen and living room upstairs) and the easy access to the backyard for our small dogs. The screened-in porch is a standout feature in this area. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful Vacation! Amazing hostess.

Our stay was absolutely amazing from the beautiful home to the wonderful beach. We had our wedding here on 11-12 and was greeted with so much kindness from everyone and especially the owner Ashley! She went above and beyond to welcome us with wine and even a wedding gift on the day of our wedding ! Thank you Ashley so much! We would definitely recommend staying here! Amazing!!

My husband and I absolutely loved the house, we were very upset when we found out a hurricane was about to make landfall, cutting our trip short! Our host was very helpful and kept us informed on what was going on, we will definitely be back! Saint George Island is an amazing place, can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!

The Best Time

Our time at Island bliss was perfect. For a dog friendly spot it was so nice and clean. Perfect for my husband and I, our two little boys and our elderly miniature schnauzer. the home is well appointed with everything you could need. Including extra sheets and towels. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen had absolutely everything you might need to cook a meal there. The location is great, right near everything and the access to the public beach could not have been any closer. We loved our time there and can't wait for our next stay!
