We loved this property. As a former VRBO vacation rental owner we have high standards, and this host did an excellent job of meeting and exceeding our expectations. The property was super clean, well stocked and conveniently located. We could walk to the Blue Parrot for dinner and drinks anytime we wanted...as well as to the beach to layout for the day. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely be back!

Island Bliss -

We have vacationed in St. George since 2001. This was probably our favorite place to stay. Island Bliss is absolutely perfect- comfortable, clean, convenient location to everything, steps to the beach and Ashley is a lovely host. We hope to return again!

Ideal beach stay

This property is lovely, and so close to the beach and restaurants! We liked the layout (bedrooms and bathrooms on the entry level, kitchen and living room upstairs) and the easy access to the backyard for our small dogs. The screened-in porch is a standout feature in this area. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful Vacation! Amazing hostess.

Our stay was absolutely amazing from the beautiful home to the wonderful beach. We had our wedding here on 11-12 and was greeted with so much kindness from everyone and especially the owner Ashley! She went above and beyond to welcome us with wine and even a wedding gift on the day of our wedding ! Thank you Ashley so much! We would definitely recommend staying here! Amazing!!
