Our stay at Bliss on the Bay was wonderful. The condo was beautifully decorated, well stocked with beach essentials, and perfect for our group of 5. The views were outstanding and the beach was a short, easy walk. The host was super helpful and always replied to our questions quickly. We look forward to staying at Bliss on the Bay again.
This house was in a good location and close to the beach the inside decorations were fantastic! The listing did say they had a king bed but there are only queens. Overall it was well stocked with beach toys, chairs and the community pool is just outside of the front door!

Beautiful unit right on the lagoon. Our family had a great time kayaking and paddle boarding. Jellyfish were bad out in the gulf so we were happy we were staying on the lagoon. The unit is clean, comfortable and just as the pictures show. The manager responds almost immediately to every question! Will definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're so glad your family had a great time enjoying the lagoon, especially with the kayaking and paddle boarding. It’s wonderful to hear the unit met your expectations and that communication was smooth throughout your stay. We’d love to host you again anytime!
The location was perfect for fully experiencing access and views of both the bay, the beach, and downtown Gulf Shores! The property also provided all necessary equipment to fully enjoy a day on the sand with the kids, kayaking on the water, and relaxing with the family to wind down at the end of the night. Very clean, spacious, and communication was on point! This property seemed like a steal for the price for our family! We would absolutely book this one again!

We're so happy to hear your family had a wonderful time and took full advantage of everything—from the bay to the beach to downtown Gulf Shores! It’s great knowing the amenities helped make your stay fun and relaxing. Thank you for the kind words—would love to welcome you back anytime!
The accommodations were perfect for our family. Loved the view from the porch. We have always stayed on the beach side before, but not we have a new favorite on the bay side. The decor was tasteful; furniture and beds were comfortable. Whenever I had a question, there was always a quick answer.
Highly recommend this one!

This place is SPECIAL! If you’re looking for a beautiful waterfront property with all amenities, views, comfort, water activities and lots of great restaurants, bars and activities locally then this is the place for you. The house is stunning, the sunsets from the deck over the lagoon are beautiful, area is incredible and we had a great stay here. The hosts were so helpful and always replied quickly. I have nothing to fault here. Thank you, we’ve had a super memorable holiday.

Bliss on the Bay was a perfect beach getaway for our Midwest crew. As a busy mom, having the beach cart, nets, toys, towels, life jackets, umbrellas, chairs, yard games, washer/dryer, kayaks, paddle boards, ping pong, and board games already on site was AMAZING! The hammock got plenty of use every day, too! We could truly relax and enjoy our trip. Host was very responsive 24/7. Thank you!!

Super convenient, super communicative, superb amenities. My only draw is that we couldn’t stay forever because it was AMAZING! Would absolutely go back. Had a minor inconvenience of the lightbulb on the patio being out (because, duh, these things happen) and the host got maintenance to replace it right away. BOOK THIS PLACE NOW!!

Wow—thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re beyond happy to hear you had such a great experience and that everything from the amenities to communication hit the mark. You were a fantastic guest, and we’d love to have you back anytime—hopefully for a longer stay next time!
Seems to be newly remodeled & decorated with excellent style! We had a blast! Used the kayaks & paddleboards, cornhole, ping pong, ring toss, & we brought our fishing stuff & fished from the pier. There were no other guests in the fourplex while we stayed so we got full use of it all. The downstairs was a bit smaller than expected, but worked just fine for us!! Upstairs was so perfect!! Highly recommend!!

We were so glad we could host you. Thanks for the kind review and happy to have you back anytime.
We stayed at this rental for a baseball tournament - it was the perfect set up for several families to stay together on a shared property yet have our own houses. The amenities with the paddle boards and kayaks to use on the bayside, the grass backyard for kids to play on, and the beach access across the street made the rental the ideal spot for this trip. Also, huge bonus to have access to a beach cart, chairs and umbrellas. We enjoyed being a little further away from the hustle and bustle of the town which also meant the beaches were not crowded. It was easy to instacart grocery delivery and Door Dash food on the nights when we didnt want to go anywhere. The owners were very responsive as well!

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear the setup worked so well for your group and that the shared property offered both togetherness and privacy. It’s great to know the paddle boards, kayaks, beach gear, and peaceful location all helped make your trip special. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We really enjoyed this stay in Gulf Shores. Came for a soccer tournament and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of renovation in this unit! Great communication, had a little bit of an issue with the door code and batteries, but no big deal and very quick to respond! Enjoyed the deck and sitting on the dock. It was very windy the weekend we were there so we didn’t get the kayaks out but the water is nice and shallow at the shore. There are stairs into the water so getting in a kayak would be so easy but I was too lazy to fight the wind.
