Great Experience

The house was amazing and perfect size for 2 families with 4 kids. The pool was a short walk. We loved riding the bikes to the beach. Being next to the pond was fun. We saw frogs, fish, turtles and lizards!

Beautiful Oasis just Outside of Seaside

My wife and I traveled to Florida from Dallas with our 5 month old baby boy (his first trip) and this home was amazing for us. For a family of any size, this property is in a great location to all that Seaside and Watercolor have to offer but is also tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood for peace and quiet at night! For what you get when you are there in terms of quality, size, and location this is definitely money well spent for a vacation.

Perfect Getaway!

This home was perfect for our stay. There was 8 of us and we all had plenty of room. The location and neighborhood are great. The house is beautiful and has everything we could have needed. The beach is a short bike ride away and the home is very close to The Gathering Place where the pools are. We walked each day down there and it only took a few minutes.

Paradise found

The house is wonderful. Minor complaint due to our age and issues, we would’ve liked more comfortable place to sit. Notwithstanding, the house was beautiful, including a great bathroom and bedroom. We can’t say anything bad about the house.

Great relaxing vacation for all

We are two families that vacation with each other. One family has two 26 year olds and the other has 19,18 & 11 year old. Everyone was happy and not one complaint from anyone on the house, location and activities. You could make your stay as busy as you want as some of our group took a fishing charter while others enjoyed the back porch swing! Activities were close and easy to get to. We found great places to eat when we weren’t taking advantage of the beautifully set up kitchen. We had an issue with the garage code but that was handled qiyand easily. Five star stay!!!

Bellissimo

Best beds, main bathroom like a spa, lots of windows to let in that FL sunshine and porches delightful. Walk to beach easy enough but even taking the car like a 5min ride. Loved the pond on the left of the house with the ducks - made for serenity. Couches and chairs a little on the uncomfortable side but hey it’s a house at the beach with awesome sleeping beds. Kitchen equipped with everything you need to create any meal. Loved walking to grocery store and Seaside. Wonderful memories made here.

Fabulous!

This house is perfect for our family vacation! Spacious, bright, loads of natural light, very clean, beautifully furnished, and meticulously maintained. Great location for beach, bike paths, restaurants, playground and pool! We love the kitchen--better stocked than our own--porch swing, and bikes. The listing description is accurate, and we certainly are recommending this property to our relatives and friends. We plan to rent this very same house again!

Perfect house, excellent location

This house is gorgeous: spacious, clean, comfortable, comfortably sleeps so many people, huge dining room table for families, porches with big swings, tons of light. Plus, the location is amazing - a pool (both heated and unheated) and playground within minutes, and easy access to bike paths to a picture-perfect beach, Seaside, and awesome restaurants. Can't wait to go back!

This was an amazing beautiful vacation home!

We drove over 15 hours for our stay at Southern Bliss and boy was it worth it. From the moment we walked in our week was relaxed and comfortable. The property was incredibly clean and had everything we would need for hanging out there or going to the beach. The bikes were great as the lily lane bike path was literally only a 5 min ride to the beach. It was also great having the Publix grocery store right around the corner. We cooked in the completely stocked kitchen- they even had every spice you could think of!! We also made the very short drive into seaside for dinner at Bud & Ally's and pickles hamburgers-yum! We will most definitely be back! Thanks so much for a very lovely and memorable vacation experience.

Great vacation home!!!!!

This home is beautifully furnished, well stocked and has plenty of room. The surrounding area is just as beautiful. Many nature trails including one that leads to the beach. The "gathering place" has ample space with its 2 pools, hot tub, hammock area, playground, and a kids splash pool. Since we visited during tropical storm Cindy we didn't get to enjoy the gulf waters as much as we would have liked but the pool was a great alternative. All in all we would love to come stay again but maybe a bit longer! Whoever stays at "southern bliss" will not be dissappointed!

Amazing house in the perfect location

"Southern Bliss" is a gorgeous, brand new construction in the perfect location! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still just a short bike ride from everything: the beautiful beach, nice restaurants, and cute little stores. So you get the best of both worlds: privacy and proximity. Naturewalk's pool is also just a few steps away which was perfect for the kids. The interior of the house is beautifully designed and has a very relaxing atmosphere. It is stocked with everything you can think of. The owners really paid attention to detail and created the perfect getaway for families or larger groups of friends. We couldn't have been happier with the house and location! Our time spent at "Southern Bliss" was one of best we ever had and we can't wait to return to this wonderful vacation oasis!

A Beautiful NEW Home, Perfect for a Beach Getaway!

Southern Bliss is absolutely perfect! It is a beautiful, new home that is both spacious and inviting. The wide open floor plan is ideal for any family or group and the decor is perfect for the beach. The kitchen and entire house are equipped and well-stocked with literally everything you need for a stress free enjoyable vacation. The attention to details show. The location is also perfect for relaxing on the front porch or private backyard patio. The house is so close to Naturewalk's pool area, and it is such a short ride on bikes to the beach. So nice that we could rent and have access to a fantastic golf cart that we could use. We can't wait to return to Southern Bliss soon.
