The place was amazing, well kept and super clean. The beach views were beautiful. It really made for a great experience during our anniversary stay. Have already told the owners we plan on making reservations for next year. This is definitely the place to be if you plan on vacationing in Bolivar. We can't wait to go back. The owners made sure to check in on us and made the check in and check out process a breeze. Lovely time!

We had an incredible stay at Beachfront Bliss for our guys’ fishing trip. The house is literally just footsteps from the beach, and we were able to catch monster bull reds right from the surf out front.The home itself was perfect—three comfortable bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen for cooking up our catch, and plenty of space to relax after a long day on the water. Everything was clean, well-kept, and exactly as described.Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our trip. Highly recommend Beachfront Bliss and would absolutely stay here again.

Single traveler seeking peace and respite

Sure, here's the review in text form:"My stay at this beach home on Bolivar Peninsula was a dream. The owners were incredibly welcoming. The house itself was spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated, with an ocean view from the deck that was nothing short of breathtaking. It was the perfect setting for the emotional respite I needed, offering a healing serenity that only the vastness of the ocean can provide."
