"Another Happy Day!" 1-Story Cottage 30-a Excellent Reviews!
Why the Owner Chose Old Florida Village
We selected "Old Florida Village" because of its wonderful location and appeal to families! It is close to everything but not commercial or congested like the more urban areas. Traffic on 30-A is slow and easy! Shh! It's our best kept secret and we don't want it to change!!
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Comments we hear over and over again...."your cottage was so clean....the children loved the bunk beds....we loved being so close to the pool....great artwork!"
We enjoy the simplicity of just being there. Tripp and I tried to think of everything needed so you could feel "right at home."
Owner's Map of Old Florida Village
Tripp and I have been coming to this area of Santa Rosa Beach since before we married 25 years ago! My parents have owned a cabin on the bay since I was a little girl so I grew up on these beautiful beaches! When the opportunity developed for us to buy our own place, we were thrilled! It is our pleasure to offer our cottage as "home" to vacationing families. We take good care of our property and we are pleased when our guests are pleased!

Another Happy Stay

We loved Another Happy Day! The description of the property is understated. It is a lovely cottage that is extremely comfortable and well appointed. We were in Santa Rosa Beach visiting (a lot) of family and we so enjoyed being able to come back to this quiet neighborhood and cottage each evening and unwind. The beds and bed linens are cozy and soft; the bath towels, large and plentiful; the cottage, extremely clean, tastefully furnished and well maintained. Regina is very helpful and responsive. We look forward to staying here again.

We have just returned from our second trip to this great beach home. Just grab a few clothes and go, as Regina has equiped the house w/everything. My grandsons felt right at home in their bunk room. The location is perfect - right across the street from the sparkling pool. We arrived on a Friday this year & especially enjoyed the Farmers Market in Seaside on Saturday morning. We rented a pontoon & I left all the information in the restaurant/entertainment folder. We will definately be returning.

A great way to relax before the school run starts again!

We have just returned from such a wonderful, relaxing week at Another Happy Day.This is no ordinary rental holiday home. You really feel like you are a guest at someone's much loved home. It has such a cozy feel and is certainly well equipped for everything that you would need. We were particularly impressed with the abundance of towels! A great little location as well, situated in a quiet development with the pool just a few steps away from the house. Loved Santa Rosa area; relaxed, unpretentious and a good choice of little restaurants. Loved the smoothies and bakery at Blue Mountain Heights (I think that was the area, where you can rent bikes) We are already talking about our return visit for next year! Thanks Regina and Tripp!!

This was our first contract through VRBO and our first Fla. vacation with two young grandkids. The cottage and "Old Florida Village" is a great beach location for families. First of all, there's nothing "old" about the Village. Everything looked new ----- well landscaped, clean, and maintained. It was quiet, safe, and close to great places in Santa Rosa. "Another Happy Day" was more than we expected. We own rental property in Mo. and appreciated Regina's decorating and attention to detail---- as well as her helpfulness in making our July 4th week a memorable one. My wife wanted to reserve a week next year as soon as we arrived back home----I told her that next year is probably already booked!

Adorable Cottage

Review Submitted: 06/26/11
We had never been to the gulf coast and are very happy we stumbled upon this gem. The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated with plenty of space to relax. The master bedroom mattress was especially comfortable and we slept great. The cottage is in a quiet, quaint neighborhood and only a short drive to many beaches, restaurants and activities. We enjoyed several great restaurants in Seaside. Deep Sea fishing in Destin was a fun experience. We caught the fish and a restaurant on the dock cooked it. Can’t get any fresher than that! We had a wonderful vacation and highly recommend “Another Happy Day”.

This property is named perfectly. My family had a great time. The owners are very sweet and easy to work with. The home is equipped with everything that you could ever need. It is beautifully decorated, spacious, very comfortable, and very clean. The gulf is just a 5 minute walk away. This area of 30-A is perfect. It is peaceful and absolutely gorgeous. You don't have to deal with the crowds of Seaside, yet you are only 6 miles away if you want to shop or have dinner there. We rented bikes and had a great time riding to the beach, shopping, or to restaurants. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone. We will make it a family tradition. Thank you for the "Happy Days" we had at your beautiful home.

We stayed here in mid May 2011 and as soon as we stepped into "Another Happy Day" we knew were on vacation. All the little details chosen to decorate the house say "beach". And the gorgeous original artwork just made us feel like we were staying in a very special place. The location was perfect for us no matter what we had planned for the day. It is an easy walk through the neighborhood across a two lane 30A to the beach access. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to make great dinners with the fresh seafood we bought at Goatfeathers, across the street. We could not have been happier here!

I was very impressed with our stay at "Another Happy Day"! This house was just like being at home. It had everything! There was even a bulletin board in the laundry room with a folder for all the menus to nearby restaurants + some in Destin. There was all kinds of little notes left about with the owners suggestions. Try finding that in a hotel or condo! Our 3 year old loved it there so much he wanted it to be our new house. I really liked that there is nothing built behind the house. So when you sit out on the back porch your not eye to eye with whoever is behind you. And you could hear the ocean. This house truly provided an actual vacation for us! The owner was so nice in getting us set up with just a few days notice. I can't wait to come back again!!!
