Thank you, Hunter. We’re happy to hear the home was exactly as described and that you found everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It’s great to know the location, parking, and amenities all worked out perfectly for you.
My wife and I loved our stay at Bay Bliss. The house was a perfect size, and it was located in the best part of Port A, to take advantage of getting around in a golf cart, and going to the beach. We will definitely be going back to Bay Bliss.

I've stayed at more than 20 different properties in Port A! We love to vacation here. The cottage seemed a little overpriced for the size, but it was very clean and comfortable. I would stay here again!

Thank you so much Alan and Florence. We're glad you had a great stay! Regarding rates, we have our lowest winter rate posted; however, it does reduce further when booking 21 days or longer. Maybe some of the neighbors were renting for 3-12 weeks and got a winter Texan rate. Let us know when when you'd like to return and we will be glad to help with a discount for longer stays.
Cute house. Pool directly across from home was a huge bonus. Location made it easy to get around town. Living Room furniture could be a bit more comfortable but for the value no complaints. House had everything you needed and more. Would stay there again.

Thank you, Cindy! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location and the pool nearby. We appreciate your feedback about the living room furniture and will keep it in mind. Glad the house had everything you needed, and we'd be glad to host you again!
We stayed as a family of five with three young children and everything was easy to find and use inside the house. A couple of the televisions weren't working properly, but that wasn't a concern for us. Going in the off season we had the entire pool area to ourselves, which was great for our energetic three!
Thank you, Marlon! We’re so glad to hear everything was great. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Inaccurate information
There was no pellet grill or keurig as stated in description. The quiet hours were not enforced. There was a bad odor in the house due to a bowl of water under the kitchen sink catching water because of a leaking pipe from the kitchen sink.
We had an amazing time at Bay Bliss! The home had a great beach vibe and was very clean. Well stocked kitchen and nice linens. Just a few blocks to the beach. We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much Terry! We appreciate you noticing our SWAY cleaning standards and we're so happy to hear that you enjoyed everything about Bay Bliss. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
This house is overall very nice. Plenty of beds. We had 4 adults and 4 children. The bunk beds were a favorite of our grandchildren. The decor was cute and very nicely done. A television in each bedroom and living room was an addition. The placement of the cottage was convenient to downtown. It had everything you could need. The surrounding houses made the neighborhood enjoyable as well.
