Guest review summary
What guests liked
The on-site restaurant was not mentioned in the reviews, however, the nearby restaurant "Commander's" was highly praised for its excellent seafood, particularly the oysters. (4 reviews)
Everything was great! We were offered a free upgrade to a room with a jacuzzi tub. It was perfect because their hot tub was cold and wouldn't turn on. The building and the rooms are all beautiful.

Bliss by the Sea was a great budget friendly stay! We were impressed with the cleanliness, the room size, and the location to the beach. We enjoyed a garden tub with jets which was perfect to relax after time at the beach. The pool needed skimming, but we still enjoyed being outside and using the dock to walk to the intercoastal. Overall, a good place at a great price!

I liked that it wasnt huge but it would have been nice to have the pools set up. You could tell they hadnt been cleaned for the season.
We also liked the tall ceilings and huge doors.

The rooms and the place was very beautiful. So nice and relaxing. The only thing was there pools where not in working condition. So we did not get to use them. But things do happen as well. Beaches were very close and convenient. Overall I would give them a 5 star for sure. Thank you. I will be back.

Pulling up to the place was so awesome! I wish it was my house. The homes in the neighborhood are so big and nice! There's a seafood market/restaurant right next door. Check in was super easy and our one night stay was great. The communication with the management was great. I'd stay again

The staff went above and beyond when I had an issue with payment, even when hotels.com struggled to resolve the issue. The property is breathtakingly, beautiful and always a wonderful place to stay. This is my third time staying there and it is quickly becoming our go to romantic getaway.

The place was clean, staff fantastic however coffee should be in room or at the very least available before 8:15. Also the jacuzzi tub was difficult and a bit hazardous for older clientele getting in and out

We received good service from the reservation staff contact. Location is within minutes of St. Augustine Beach, restaurants, grocery, and shopping centers. The property overall is clean. The interior decor is Asian chic, Early American classic. It's a quiet property day and night. Beautiful landscape in the rear of property.
Areas of improvement include Lighting on parking lot at night, front entry landscaping, TV local major network access guide, better privacy barrier on balcony, and show of some minor mildew in the shower area in several areas. Limited counter space in the bathroom. Affordable rates prior to Memorial Day and overall a good experience.
