Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1993
Though I just started renting in 2009, I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing my home with people from around the world. Wonderful memories are being made there!
Why the Owner Chose Long Beach
We moved down the road into a sprawling ranch house, and decided our old home would make a perfect vacation house!
The Unique Benefits of this House
The home is huge (3000 sq ft), the fenced yard is huge (1 acre) and the pool is huge (20x40).
Though centrally located, the back yard and pool area are very private.

I can not thank you enough for letting my family use your home for our first vacation. We enjoyed every day. My 5 kids (13, 11, 10, 5, 2) loved the playroom and pool. We came with my sister-in-law, so in total we had 11 people and room was not an issue. Your home is happy just like it is called. Thank you so much. I hope to see you again. You have made our first vacation something we will never forget. P.S. Blueberries won over the pool!

Thank you so much for opening your home so other people can enjoy it. We had a blast even though it rained almost half of our trip. We still got to enjoy the pool...This definitely is a "Happy House." It was nice to meet you while we were here and you probably didn't even get to your truck before the kids were at the blueberry bushes picking handfuls. Thanks again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Happy House. We had our beach wedding and reception here at the Happy House on Father's Day, June 19, 2011. Both our parents and sisters and brothers stayed with us here at the house. There was plenty of room for all the family to stay and play. Also, the sunroom made an amazing spot for a reception! We will definitely rent this house again. Thank you, Joni, for everything. You're great for all you did for us. Can't wait til next time.

We rented Joni's "Happy House" for a destination wedding. As our family was travelling a long way, we wanted space for everyone to get some peace and relax. Before the we all (sadly) had to leave, everyone was enthusiastically asking "When can we come back? Let's rent this place again next year!" If you have a dog, your pet will be in HEAVEN- It's the largest fenced back yard we've ever seen, with lots of room to run and explore. If you have kids, they will be ENTERTAINED- the pool and water slides are fabulous, and the game room kept everyone busy. If you want to do relax, you will be PLEASED- there are five? TVs in the house, multiple group seating areas, and even the world's comfiest hammock in the yard. Twice people spent the night out there sleeping underneath the stars, the neighborhood is so quiet. It was extremely clean, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. If you go- make sure to eat at the Half Shell Oyster House in Gulfport, and Shaggy's on the Beach, which is right on the water. Thanks for a wonderful stay- it would be a joy to return!

This large comfortable home was just right to accommodate three generations gathering for a family weekend. The kitchen is well outfitted for cooking and serving large family meals. The house has plenty of space for groups to watch TV, play games and have conversations - a nice floor plan for entertaining and keeping all age groups happy in various activities without over-running each other. It was nice to have indoor and outdoor spaces too. The house was centrally located for shopping, beach and most coastal activities. Would recommend for families or large groups of mixed ages.
