Summer Trip w/Kids

This place was absolutely perfect! The private beach access is great if you don’t want to be crowded while out there. It’s central to so many activities and perfect spot for traveling over to another beach if desired. Between the pool, games, and beach gear you will not have a dull moment.You do get views of the ocean and sunset from the balconies. There was construction on a few homes around us but we were never bothered. The owners did let us know they are only working during certain hours to avoid disrupting people’s vacations. Overall we agreed we would 1000% stay here again!

Dog friendly

We always love Grayton Beach! This home was perfect for our family! Location was great! We brought our 2 mini Aussies which was even better. Older furniture and not all the bells and whistles of other homes we have stayed at but the sacrifice was ok with us since the dogs could go. We would stay there again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Kitty’s Bliss. The house was well appointed and roomy enough for 4 adults and 7 teenagers. The many windows enhanced the beach feel and the sounds of the ocean. The outside pool and deck were a huge plus since no one could get in the ocean all week due to dangerous riptides. We will definitely be back.

Kitty's Bliss at Grayton Beach: A wonderful Stay

Excellent location on a cul-de-sac where children do not have to worry about cars yet Red Bar is 250 yards away. House was spotless. We have stayed here before. Owner has really done some excellent upgrades like elevating a pool 11 feet off the ground in order to be at the bedroom level, adding oak stairs inside,new furniture, and drapes. A deck goes all around the house which is a perfect place to relax or for children to play. True that there is construction all around Grayton, but for Kitty's Bliss the work near Kitty's Bliss is now all internal so very little, if any, noise. One row back from the beach with beach access a very short walk. Would recommend to all my friends. Manager most helpful.

Reviewer Comments: Everything was pretty nice and accurate about the house, except for when we arrived there were small ants in the kitchen. It appears the house had been empty because of the low season. We called the manager, they came and sprayed, and then came back a day later and sprayed again. Never saw another ant. I would recommend this house, the pool was a nice, and it's very close to our favorite area of the beach.

House needs attention

I don’t normally complain but this house needs attention. There was a hole in the wall in the master bath, water stains on the window sills and walls and many other odd things. The cleaning people didn’t put any soap in 2 of the bathrooms and we found a really dirty pair of underwear in the master bath. We love the area and if the house had some work, it would be great! The kitchen did have lots of dishes and cook wear- that was great.

Kitty's Bliss - "not so blissful"

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First of all, the house was fairly nice and we appreciated that....but we did have some disappointments. We arrived to find a portable toilet in front of the house and then discovered an unbelievable amount of construction all around us. The construction began between 6:30-7:00 each morning and with construction workers all around us as we swam in the pool. Needless to say, it certainly did not feel "blissful".
Response from VrboOwner on 28 May, 2022
The construction was 100 feet away and the port a potty was removed the same day the guest arrived. It had been there for the new pool construction the owner had put in which is beautiful. The house 100 feet away is now in its 13 months of construction so they are mainly on the inside of the home. This is a great 4 bedroom home close to the beach with elevated private pool.

Another Week in Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week at Kitty’s Bliss. The house had everything we needed and we loved having our own pool. The only surprise we had was the walk to the beach. I should have inquired about it before I rented, but I had assumed that we had a close “cut- through” path to the gulf. However, it was a walk back to the road, around a bend, and then a substantial walk through a sandy path. In all it only took10-15 minutes, but pulling the cart through the sand was a bit of a workout. Also, one of the couples with us are older, and had difficulty walking in the sand that far. Everything else, including dealing with the rental agency was great.

Grayton Yes - Kitty's Hmmmm

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kitty's Bliss is one house back from the beach - BUT - you have a long walk around those homes to actually get to the beach so don't be fooled. The house was dirty - not sure how many weeks had passed since it had been cleaned but there were blood drops on the walls and floors and dog hair everywhere - we had no dogs. Needs a lot of renovations - and whoever I worked with told me the pool was heated - it was not.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 May, 2022
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our home. We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay in this amazing property! The house is thoroughly and professionally cleaned after every stay. This house has an amazing view of the Gulf to the SouthWest. We are very sorry the pool is not heated. It is not advertised as a heated pool. You initially requested to bring your pet, which you were welcome to do. We immediately refunded your pet fee when you no longer planned to bring your dog. Guests love the value and location of this home as shown in the many 5 star reviews. It was truly our pleasure serving you. Have a gorgeous day!!

Needs some attention

This house has so much potential, however we were disappointed with the overall upkeep of the house. On top of many essential appliances not working for many days of our vacation (no hot water, ice maker, dish washer) note......in addition, the air conditioner struggled to cool during the heat of the day, the sliding doors are very hard to open do not shut securely leaving a measurable gap letting cold air out and bugs in, and house seems to have an obvious sway that was a little concerning. Loved having the pool to cool off in but it would be even better with a little shade if umbrellas were provided. House also needs some outdoor lighting of some kind, solar landscape lights would be nice. In my opinion price of house should move way south with current upkeep needs

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2023
Thank you for your review of Kittys Bliss. We called the appliance repair man upon receiving notice when one or more appliances were not working properly and they were fixed immediately. The AC works fine in this house and keeps the house to 70 degrees where most folks like it in the summer. We had the cleaners clean the 2 tracks of the main exits on 2nd floor and sprayed with aluminum spray and they work fine and properly. This past July 4th week you were here we experienced a few major thunderstorms which had winds at 60MPH plus and any house on Pilings may move slightly . This home has survived several major hurricanes so it is well built. The house is a great value for the amount of people it will sleep and the pool area is one of the nicest around.The view of the beach and Gulf to the SW between homes is nice while sitting on the big porches. Short walk to beach, Chringo, and Red Bar!

June Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was a bit older than we expected based on the advertisement. However, it met our needs. Perhaps one of the biggest problems was the amount of cheap (flexible plastic) and broken outdoor furniture. An example would be there were 3 loungers, one was broken and unusable and the other two had visible rust. Everything in the home was serviceable and the location was fine. There is no direct access to the beach, but there are two access points a few minutes walk from the home. The only major problem we incurred was the air conditioning unit going out the on our first full day (we arrived on Sunday and the a/c went out on Monday). It was repaired that night, so was just a minor inconvenience for the day. The place was also pretty dirty, like nasty shower curtains, dead bugs, and general uncleanliness. Overall, we liked the area and the home met our needs for a place to hang out. Bottom line, however, we would not rent this place again for the money unless we know upgrades had been made.

Great location, older property with maintenance issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The area was great. You can hear the waves and have a small view of the beach. Walk to beach wasn’t too bad. House was dirty- dog hair on furniture and floor. Shower curtain in master bedroom was moldy. Sand/dirt all under couches and beds. Couches and couch pillows were stained. Shower in master bath had 2 shower heads one stopped working- then water didn’t get hot. They came next day to repair and it worked after that. Door lock on pool fence was not operable- next day they fixed that as well but had to spend afternoon and morning without gate locking. Master bedroom door was hard to open and turn knob- then one night from all the tugging the door stopped closing all together. So in a house full of people door wouldn’t shut. Reported issue that was not addressed. I have stayed in older places that were much cleaner and not in so much need of repairs that have just been overlooked. A little investment would really improve the house stay for future guests. Not many games or beach toys available for use. Closet space was great.

Great house with nice gulf views

Our family really enjoyed this home. It was nice and close enough to the beach that we could see and hear waves. The home had a great layout for gathering all together between the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen was also incredibly well-stocked, most likely the best kitchen we stayed in in our last 12 years here. Plenty of crab tools, stock pots, silverware and dishes of every kind. The house was pretty clean upon arrival the first day, but the living room furniture and cushions could use a good cleaning or update. The beds in the 3 main bedrooms were extremely comfortable, but the 4 twin mattresses were not. I'd suggest purchasing better mattresses or mattress toppers for comfort. My kids range in age from 11-16 and they all had sore backs and complained of pain upon waking up each morning. My 11 y.o. son moved to the couch and our 16 y.o. slept with us some nights so not ideal. We did like that the bunk room had its own bathroom and shower. That was perfect with the kids. The upstairs bedroom does not have a shower, so we used one of the master bedroom showers on the lower floor and it was fine. We would stay in this home again, however we wish the walk to the beach was a little shorter/easier. While it looks close, you cannot walk directly to the beach. It's a short walk to the beach access, but then it's through sand dunes to the beach which was a problem for our older guests with knee problems. Still, a lovely home with great views and plenty of space. Another favorite was the pool. Best pool so far! It stayed cool all week even after high temps and rain. It was also a good size. We spent most afternoons until early evening enjoying the pool and deck area. It was nice seeing the ocean from here, and we would recommend this home wholeheartedly. Thanks for a great week!

Kitty's Bliss- HUGE Disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been staying in the Destin/30A area for 30 years at various properties and none have been this disappointing.The home was chosen after careful consideration and multiple phone calls to the agents to verify the view as pictured on the website, as well as to question the construction in the area as noted in another review of the property online. Had the agent been forthcoming with the fact that a home was fairly recent built directly in front of the only view of the gulf from Kitty’s Bliss another house would have been rented. We feel like we had been lied to & purposely mislead. Instead of the gulf view promised on the website we had a view of a dumpster&port-o-lets from the deck & pool. Upon arrival the home was not only cleaned unsatisfactorily-the bathroom was downright disgusting. Also, there were dead insects lining the window sills, and hairs found in the linens (sheets & towels). We were told that the construction surrounding the home was almost complete & was only inside finishing work. Instead we were woken by construction crew & beeping construction equipment every morning of our vacation at 7:30AM. The 2nd day the cooktop didn’t work. We spent 1⁄2 day waiting on a repair man instead of enjoying the beach only to be told the issue could not be fixed. We spent 4 days attempting to cook on a cooktop with one working burner unable to regulate the heat. It took 3 days to install another cooktop. This was unacceptable. The first full day at the property the temperatures exceeded 85 degrees in the house. There is only one unit for this multi-story home & it stopped working. Again we had the inconvenience of waiting on and dealing with a repair man.This home should not be rented as a “gulf view home, second row from the beach” and charge as such when there are no beach views and you must walk north a block to access the beach. We had to rent a golf cart to get everything to beach each day as the walk was far too long for seniors and toddlers.

Utter Disappointment

Although you tried to respond timely to the home’s issues it is important to relay the concerns & issues we had with this home in an effort to eliminate the potential for another family to endure the same frustration & disappointment.We have been staying in the Destin/30A area for 30 years & none have been this disappointing. The home was chosen after careful consideration and multiple phone calls to the managing agents to verify the view as pictured on the website, as well as to question the construction in the area as noted in another review of the property online. Had the managing agent been forthcoming with the fact that a home was fairly recent built directly in front of the only view of the gulf from Kitty’s Bliss another house would have been rented. We feel like we had been lied to & mislead. Upon arrival the home was not only cleaned unsatisfactorily but the bathroom condition was downright disgusting. There was a thick layer of dust on most of the furniture, there were dead insects lining the window sills, & multiple hairs found in the linens. During the same conversations noted above with the managing company we were told that the construction surrounding the home was almost complete and was only inside finishing work. Instead we were woken by construction crew outside of our bedroom windows &beeping construction equipment every morning of our vacation at 7:30AM. Instead of the gulf view promised on the website we had a view of the construction dumpster, port-o-lets and debris from the deck and pool, complete with intrusive roofing contractors stares and loud music. After trying to cook the first meal for my family we realized the cooktop would work. My father spent the next morning waiting on a repair man instead of enjoying his family on the beach. We spent the next 5 days attempting to cook on a cooktop with 1 working burner unable to regulate the heat. It took 3 days to arrive and another to install. The 1st full day at the property the temp exceeded 85 degrees inside. The AC had stopped working. There is only 1 unit for this multi-story home. Again we had the inconvenience of waiting on and dealing with a repair man. This home should not be rented as a “gulf view home, 2nd row from the beach” & charge as such when there are no beach views & we had to rent a golf cart to get everything to beach each day as the walk was far too long for seniors and toddlers. I would not recommend this home to anyone in its current condition.

This is a wonderful 4 bedroom 3 bath home with elevated pool close to the beach. The guest had an issue with the cleaning so we immediately upon check in sent our staff down to fix or correct her issues. She told them all good and thank you. The next day the AC had lost its capacitor so within 2 hours we had that fixed and up and running. Again this was in the afternoon not in the middle of the night. We try to take the pictures and explain the views in the VRBO photo section and description. This home sits on the 2nd row back and does not have a view of the beach to the South since the home in front of it is Gulf Front. There is a little view to the SW between those homes that you can see the beach and the Gulf. The view over the top of the homes to the west of the Dunes is great! We strive to have great customer service and we also showed the guest how to use the stove top and have use of the entire stove until the new one which was Fed X in was installed 2 days after they made us aware of the issue. So we fixed everything and in a timely matter. People love this home with the elevated pool and closeness to the beach and the Red Bar to the East. The construction is on a 7 million dollar home 100 feet away and is in its 16 month so they are mainly on the inside of the home. The only time you would hear any noise is when the lifter raises something up to the upper floor but they are mostly done with all this and are working on the inside. This is a nice comfortable house and a great value for 4 bedrooms this close to the beach.
