Beach Bliss is a cute and well appointed property. The outside sitting area and fire pit were enjoyable. The beds and furniture were comfy. I would recommend to anyone that wants a quiet getaway close to the beach.

This is a quaint cottage close to the beach and downtown area with lots of shopping and dining options. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around downtown. After eating and shopping we were able to relax in the quiet neighborhood.

Everything was good. It was a little difficult for my 93 yr old mother to manage the walk to the porch. I would book again.

Location was perfect for our visit to this part of Michigan. No noisy neighbors. Important to us was: very comfy beds; good shower; very clean house. Great communication between us and the property managers. We enjoyed the home.

A nice clean place to hang your hat after a day at the beach.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023

10/10

This place is perfect for 2-4 adults that really just need a place to sleep and relax. Kind of a different setup with the church/bell tower right next to the house but nothing bad about it. We had minimal contact with the owners, which I appreciate. Everything was as advertised. Would stay here again.

The house was very nice. It was quiet and close to town. Unsure on how to use the tv at first. Maybe some directions would have been helpful; but enjoyed beach and family ! Didn’t need tv! Love to have a later Checkout time. 10 am was a little early for us. But it worked fine We would definitely stay again Thank you

This place had just what we needed. Well stocked kitchen, great wi-fi, plenty of space. Too cold to use the firepit but would have in milder weather.

Stayed here for a long weekend with friends visiting from out of town. This house was absolutely perfect for us - easy driving distance from downtown St. Joe, the beach, and many other destinations. Nice peaceful neighborhood. And the property itself was spacious and cozy, lots of provided amenities such as extra towels and blankets, some basic toiletries, on site laundry, a dishwasher, some fun bonuses like puzzles and Roku access, and more made our trip all the easier and more enjoyable. We absolutely loved it here and I would happily stay here again. Thank you so much!

Perfect for our quick weekend trip to visit wineries. Clean and the beds were comfortable. If I had any criticism it would be the furniture was not very comfortable for sitting around. Good overall trip.
