Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your first VRBO experience was a positive one and that our place worked out so well for you. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime, and we truly appreciate you recommending us to others!
Place was clean and more spacious than expected. Location was great for us. Kitchen had most of te things you need. Limited plates and glasses so we had to wash them often.

This was our second stay at this unit, and found everything about it terrific - location, amenities, customer service. It was all top notch and we look forward to coming back.
Everything about this place was perfect. The space was clean and inviting. The beds were more than comfortable! We were right in walking distance of any place we wanted to be.
Cannot wait to stay again!!!
We loved the property! It was super close to the beach, shops, and dining! There was plenty of space so we didn't feel cramped! Wish I could duplicate this space at other areas I visit!
Perfect location in the middle of whats happening!
Great location and easy parking next to the secure door of your unit. Just steps up to a well decorated 2 bedroom, 2 bath, living room, dinning area, terrific kitchen, and hall living quaters. Step outside and you can walk to Jarretts art gallery, little wine shop, a play house, an art boutique and oriental Tai food.
Beach is 1 block away with new resturants and High Tides has great bands playing on the weekends. Just cant say enough about what a terrific stay we had. Enjoy!
We are a group of 4 childhood friends (now in our 70s) who get together once a year. Seaside Bliss was perfect! The apartment was decorated nicely, very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. As we were there in November, the town was very quiet and some businesses were closed for the season; but it was a short walk to the beach and there were no parking issues! We were pleased that the apartment was as described --- our stay was very enjoyable.
Property was in excellent location and beautifully decorated. We immediately felt at home. Loved the space! So convenient to everything. We rented a golf cart to get around town like everyone else in town. Very fun! This property was in walking distance to church, brewery, coffee shop and beach bar. Only thing I would suggest changed is you can't check in not a minute before 4pm. Door only opens at 4pm. Check in should be more flexible for traveler's out of state and check out should be 11am. Otherwise we will definitely be coming back. Sunrises and sunsets on the beach were phenomenal!
This VRBO is amazing, 2 roomy bedrooms and closets, 2 roomy bathrooms, a nice livi g dining nd kitchen are open concept and just simply gorgeous!! A washer and dryer, dishwasher, and basically everything you need for an easy and relaxing stay. We will be xoming back and bringing friwnds and family!! We also really enjoyed Colonial Beach, its a totally walkable town with so many fun placea, restaurants, ice cream, beachfront and water, live music, 2 breweries and antique and mercantile shopping. Circa 1892 right neside the VRBO was a favorite stop! Love, love, loved our stay. From the attentiveness of our host to the comfort of the bed and furniture, even the glassware was beautiful, all of it was amazing!!
Only on recommendation, add a towel hook on the bathroom wall right outside the shower in the first bathroom to the right.
