Thank you so much for renting our home Warren, we really enjoyed hosting your family and your adorable dog! We agree, the pool is oversized, which we love and we also enjoy the chef’s kitchen. Come back anytime.
Due to being cancelled by another company, we booked about 12 Hrs before arriving. Maureen was exceptionally helpful. She was immediately available when an old timer encountered some minor technical issues. Pool was excellent, laundry equipment up to date, multiple working vacuums available as well as swiffers. The kitchen had all the items needed to prep and cook. Basic supplies as well. Neighborhood was exceptionally quiet. The dog beach was only a mile and a half away. Not a host issue (seems to be common in Florida house construction). You have to take a minute and find what light switches do what. ;)All in all an excellent house, host and visit.

We love dogs and are so glad we got to host her and your family!! Son you’ll have to see if she wants to swim in our big pool. I hope you choose us the next time. I’m so glad your plans worked out and we could accommodate you and your lovely family.
The only thing better than this beautiful, well appointed property, was the warm and helpful Host. Maureen went well above, and way beyond what was necessary to make our stay perfect! I would highly recommend this beautiful home to any travelers!

We LOVE dogs, but all dogs must be approved and we are one dog household as stated in the listing and house rules. We tried to communicate since you first booked our property and asked if you were bringing a pet. You said no after many attempts to contact you. Then last minute you told me you were bringing two dogs. It was less than 24 hours before check-in and it is againt houe rules. You did not communicate what breeds they were because some breeds are not accepted by Vrbo insurance. You can’t just bring two dogs without approval. Additionally, we gave you a courtesy early check-in of two hours. We are glad that the children enjoyed the sparkling, clean salt water pool, and we hope that you enjoyed the chef’s kitchen and the spacious bedrooms.
About the third or fourth time we stayed here. The house is always clean along with the heated pool. Me and my wife spent a week for my birthday looking forward for next year get away. The house is close to everything, beach, restaurants & shopping. Quiet neighborhood that you feel safe in. Thanks the Ryan’s

We always love when you Come stay!! We love our oversized pool and privacy that we offer to our guests!!
The kitchen was great. Anything you would need was there to cook a meal or just have a snack. The table service was beautiful. The pool was fabulous! The temperature was perfect for us every time for a morning swim or night time. The water was so clear we just enjoyed sitting out by it even when not swimming. Totally relaxing.

Hi Robert, thanks for staying at our lovely property! Hope the band trip was great in orlando. We are always upfront with our renters that we are .09 miles from the beach. We are beachside on our little barrier Island, close enough to be at the beach in 5 minutes, but far away for more safety of those tropical storms that occur during hurricane season. We are also so lucky to have no parking costs associated with the Indialantic beaches, including our one and only DOG beach, Canova. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting your family again in the future.
This is the second time we stayed here. The house & pool are always clean, nice quiet neighborhood close to beach and amazing restaurants. Fenced in yard for our dog. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your house.

Loved having this wonderful couple. Treated the home as if it were their own. Amazing. Beautifully cleaned upon departure. Bravo! Would love to have you all back!
Lovely vacation home with a beautiful screened in pool and lots of space for family to spread out and be comfortable, including three full bathrooms. Big and functional kitchen space and nicely appointed. The host was very responsive and accommodated the needs of our young child with a bumper for the bed in the kids to room - the bed was high up for climbing in but we used the soft ottoman in the room to get in and out of bed. There were some toys and games provided in the house which helped us cut down on things in the luggage. The location is on a quiet street yet very close to restaurants and shopping, and to multiple beach access points where we had no issue finding parking. The sliding door in the main living area had an upper lock overhead that gave us peace of mind for pool safety. The house was clean, comfy, and functional - the only quirk is the little steps/levels of the floor which are well marked but something to be aware of. We put the toy bin in the corner of the step in the living area to remind people to watch their steps and had no problems. AC worked well and no issues enjoying our stay!

Thank you Samuel, we enjoyed hosting you and hoped your little one enjoyed the toys and blocks and the pool! We also have strollers and a crib too if you want to come back with smaller babies. The step down is very common in a mid century modern home, for some reason in that era they made those per design. We are glad they are well marked. Thanks! Maureen
Great property and great owners. We had fun of what little time we weren't at the ballfields enjoying all amenities of the home including the pool! We got a few days at the beach and had a great time enjoying this home. Would stay again and again!
The home is in a great location. It is close to the oceanfront and lots of great restaurants and shops. It could have been cleaned much better for our arrival, but overall we had a great stay.

We really appreciate the great review. And thank you for choosing The Happy Beach Cottage. We certainly aim to please and the owners go out the way to make their home stand out and so if you could send us a note on the things that we could have done better, we would love to hear from you.
Loved the house. We all had a wonderful time. Grandkids loved the pool as well as the adults. Would definitely rent again for another vacation.

Emma, we were so happy to host you and your family and of course your beautiful dog. We look forward to host you again at our dog friendly beach cottage. You are welcome anytime!
This is a great house for anyone traveling with children. We recently traveled to Florida with our baby and 3 yr old and this property has everything you could need - crib, stroller, beach amenities, and our favorite the pool and swing set. The house was very clean, the pool was the perfect temp and the hosts were absolutely wonderful! Would highly recommend!

It was such a pleasure to host such a beautiful young family ! I’m so glad you liked our child amenities such as our crib! When your baby girl gets older, please let us know. We will make sure we put child restraints, as well as the highchair in place when you come back.
The house was amazing. The location was great and the neighborhood was extremely welcoming! I highly recommend this rental. It felt like a home away from home!!
