Bliss inside, not so much outside

Marysville OH

Overall Comment

The inside of the home was very clean and well supplied. Decorated tastefully. My only complaint is the bathroom with the walk-in shower only had lukewarm water for the shower and the sink. This is strange because the bathroom right next to it had piping hot water for the tub and sink.

The outside is another matter. It hasn't been well maintained. The screened in front porch had big rips in the screen for the door. Three huge yellow jacket nests made their home under the soffits and the buzzed around all the time. Pool was supposed to be heated in November but the heater was not on. Luckily it was easy enough to figure out and turned it on, but took a few days for it to heat up. The pool itself needed maintenance. Debris on the bottom and the filter was completely clogged with pine needles. We had to clean it out by hand several times during the week. The yard, sidewalks, steps and along the pool was covered with pine needles, leaves and twigs. We had to use a broom to sweep a clean walking path. The umbrella pole was bent significantly. The prior guests left their pool toys and other things scattered and nobody picked them up. There was a 10 foot Happy Birthday sign still attached to the fence.
Finally, people came out to cut the grass, clean the pool (but not that well) and check chlorine levels. They also picked up the pool toys and floats from the prior guests. Unfortunately, this was the day before we were scheduled to leave. I guess the upcoming guests were more important than me and my new wife on our honeymoon.

All in all, we still had a wonderful time and made due with what it was. However, since the pool is a major highlight and wasn't maintained well along with the grounds, I could not recommend this home to others.

Just SO Adorable!

Davidson NC

We stayed here right after Hurricane Helene, and it had plenty of room for our adult kids and their friends, who were all without power, and grateful for a place to stay. They recently renovated this old house, and its beautifully decorated and well-appointed! The location has so much character, and its a short stroll or bike ride to everything on Tybee. The heated pool was wonderful, as were the cozy little seating areas around the property. Even with a large group, you can still find a peaceful spot. My only complaint is that the hot water rarely made it to the shower on the second floor, due to the tankless water heater. With this many beds, one working shower (along with the hand-held in the soaking tub) is not sufficient. The kitchen was well stocked with just about anything you need, and having the laundry was so helpful. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely come again.

SUWANEE, GA GA

Good except for instructions for getting key onsite. The lock box on the side would not open so I called office they said someone on the Island would help however I found another lock box on the front porch that worked that should have been listed in the emailed instructions or the person I called when we arrived should have know where the other boxes were Not a good start.

Bliss Cottage is charming!

Signal Mountain TN

We had a nice long weekend with family at Bliss Cottage. This rental is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We enjoyed all of the porches and the location on the north side of the island. We used a golf cart to get around but the walk to the beach is easy as well.

Best house ever!

Marietta GA

This was our second stay at Bliss Cottage and it is absolutely perfect — top to bottom. Plenty of space to congregate and many spots for retreat from the hubbub. I love a vacation home that feels like home. Jane Coslick is a genius at making that happen!

Vacation Heaven

Brevard NC

What a fabulous home for a family get-together. The house is magnificently decorated by Jane Coslick, is very comfortable, and meets all our needs. The pool is a perfect size and the wading platform allowed the young members of the family a place to get used to the pool. The location is perfect with a park and playground right across the street. Jim Heflin went out of his way to make our stay seamless. I could not imagine a better host. We spent two weeks here and will surely be back in the future!

What a week!

Bliss Cottage is perfectly named! Our family had a wonderful week in the cottage. The weather this week wasn't perfect, but who cares when you're staying in such a charming house. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to find a little quiet time with a book, but also tons of great family space. The porches are heavenly and the support Jim gave us was beyond compare. We can't wait to visit again.

Wonderful property

We absolutely loved staying at Bliss Cottage. The location was perfect, house was clean, and we appreciated all of the comfortable outdoor seating. The pool area was wonderful and relaxing. It was great to have the lounge chairs and we loved that there was also a grassy area outside. The interior was fabulous. All of the unique touches in decor made it comfortable and calming. It was just as pictured on the website. We are definitely looking forward to returning.

We had another awesome vacation on Tybee. We have rented cottages from Tybee cottages for a number of years now. They are the best. Jim and Becky take care of everything. We have rented many properties on Tybee. Bliss Cottage was by far the best. The pool was awesome and there was plenty of space for our family of 5. We have already reserved Bliss for next year, it had everything we needed. Bliss is a first class property

Bliss Cottage - A Beautiful Historic Home

Walterboro SC

This beautiful historic home not only provided the usual linens, towels, beach towels, ... but also many surprises like charcoal, lighter fluid, beach chairs, beach toys, beach wagon. We enjoyed the professional decor of the home. Our golf cart was helpful with getting to the beach and other attractions with preschoolers.We especially enjoyed the pool and well-stocked kitchen. Our manager, Jim, was very helpful and attentive to all our needs. Although Hurricane Dorian caused us to evacuate early, we had a "Blissful" time.

The best vacation we’ve ever had!

Leawood KS

We were the first guests to stay at Bliss Cottage. We were so incredibly impressed by how amazing everything was from the first night. Every detail had been thought through and everything was so beautiful. The house was clean and cool and the pool was our home for the week. It was so nice having the option to stay and swim at the house or take a short golf cart ride to the beach. Our week was relaxing, fun and we will definitely be staying at Bliss Cottage again next summer!

Paradise on Tybee!

Tarentum PA

Bliss Cottage is ideal! It's super spacious, bright and airy, clean and comfortable, high-end (but not "fancy") and full of Jane Coslick charm! The pool and fenced yard are palatial and private! The kitchen functions beautifully for a family. We love the huge old oak tree that wraps around the house.
The North Beach is an easy bike ride away. This property is our idea of paradise!
