Beach front Bliss Villas is by far the best vacation rental I have ever stayed at. Everything from the pool/ hot tub, kayaks and paddle boards all available for guests. They have beach chairs, hammock, several grills/ deep fryer and smokers, beautiful views from each room of the Beach and Gulf, amazing sunsets from each unit, ton of bicycles and more!! The Villa’s were recently renovated and are fully furnished- VERY CLEAN rooms with everything you need your entire stay. Kid friendly and accommodating to everyone!
They even have a private fishing charter boat and private island hopping/ dolphin watching available for people who stay at Beach Front Bliss Villas! We booked a fishing charter with Beach Front Bliss Villa’s through Clearwater Beach Fishing Charter during our stay and caught a ton of fish! After the charter was over, we brought the fish back and had a huge fish fry at Beach Front Bliss Villa’s in the designated outdoor cooking/ grilling area. Couldn’t have been easier with the way everything is set up. We grilled and fried everything right there then sat around the outdoor tables to eat and relax with the family. We had a light breeze blowing, perfect temperature, music playing and the sun setting right behind us on the Gulf. A perfect evening as most are here!
We also booked a island hopping/ dolphin seeing trip the very next day because we had so much fun the first day! We saw dozens of dolphins on the entire trip. (Has to be around 30-40 in one day!) Some dolphins even came within 5 feet of the boat!! Everywhere you looked we saw dolphins appearing. Much better than spending a lot of money to be on a touristy dolphin watching boat with 100+ people and only seeing a couple dolphins for the short trip. Their boat is very spacious, comfortable, clean and fast to the dolphin seeing areas!
The island hopping portion of the trip was unbelievable to be on a island that has no buildings, very little people and is very scenic-(of course only accessible by smaller boats). The water is so clear and warm and the amount of shells you can find is unbelievable! Even shark teeth that wash up on the island! Perfect place to walk, relax, sun tan, listen to music from the boat and go snorkeling or swimming if you chose!
If you chose to go fishing or dolphin watching, Captain Gary is awesome and very personable which makes the entire trip even more enjoyable! Bliss makes sure your entire trip is exactly what you’d want it to be. If you need something or don’t have something, she is right there to help make sure your stay is exactly what it should be! Both are great to talk to and be around.
I can not say enough positive things about my experience at Beach Front Bliss Villas. This is my second year staying here and it just keeps getting better every year! Can’t wait till next year!
Highly recommend Beach Front Bliss to anyone looking for any of the amenities I have listed above. I cannot think of one negative thing about my experience. ...
Read moreBeachfront Bliss Villas is the 3rd place along the beach at IRB we have stayed at, and without a doubt,the very best! The unit itself was tastefully decorated along with being completely new and redone. Perfect beach condo with two bedrooms, two bathroom, washer, dryer, and a beautiful kitchen with a exceptional island, and a nice living area leading out to the very best porch I have ever been on. As you are actually one floor up, the view from the porch is spectacular, where you can see along ways down the beach each way, and the beach and gulf seem like you can reach out and touch them you are so close! The owners provide bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, large bbq area with assorted grills, and are the coolest owners anywhere. A day down on the beach provides assorted chairs, umbrellas, friendly folks and even music. Another key fact is that the Villas are on the beachtrail, a half a block off Gulf Rd., which means quieter and no traffic. If you are a beach person who wants the truest of beach time experiences, Bliss and Gary have got something very special here, we love it, we really like Indian Rocks Beach,and we will be back in Feb.

Read moreThis place is a GEM!!! From the day we made reservations to our departure Miss Bliss was amazing, attentive and super detailed oriented. The location is absolutely wonderful and super comfortable, nothing beats having dinner watching the sunset and a cup of coffee while listening to the waves and seeing the white sand. Everything you need IS already in the apartment and if you need something else there are super markets and restaurants at less than 2 miles. We took advantage of the beach, the pool, the bikes, the Paddle board, beach chairs and umbrellas, the Grills! The place is recently renovated so everything is in GREAT condition! Bliss and Gary are on TOP of all your needs. The apartments are really comfortable and accessible for people hard to walk or hard to see. we brought our in laws in their 70s and my young adult with autism, Cerebral Palsy and difficulty with sight. the Balboa has an accessible shower in the master and a tub on the 2nd bathroom. The decor is tasteful and beautiful paying homage to Bliss' up bring in Panama. The beds are comfortable and there were extra towels--ALWAYS appreciated! There were disinfectant and cleaning supplies...
