This house was perfect for our family.

The overall experience was great! The house was spacious and the 9 of us had our own rooms and bathrooms. The cabana house was just wonderful for my daughter and her husband. Thank you so much!

Mama's Happy home made all of us HAPPY!!!!!

We have stayed in several homes in St. George Island, Tarpon Springs and Topsail and none of them compare to Mama's Happy!!!! The location, layout of home and pool were exactly what we were looking for. Chris and Janet were very accommodating and replied to all of our questions via email within an hour. This is a great home to vacation and we look forward to returning soon!

Beautiful vacation home!

We had a wonderful time here, the house is in a great location. The street is very quiet yet a short walk to the beach and very close to shopping and restaurants. The home is very nicely decorated and had everything we needed. Everyone loved having the private pool. Janet was always available to answer any questions immediately. I would definitely rent this house again.

Wonderful

Loved it! The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked with cookware. It was a short walk to the beach. The beach was clean, the waters was clear and calm, the sand was white sand. Great beach for little children to enjoy. lots of activities available for older kids and adults.

Great Home

We were extremely happy with our stay at Mamas Happy! The home had everything you could possibly need! Great pool! Accommodations were great too! We had 8 adults and 7 kids and had tons of space. Beach was a very short distance to walk! Panhandle has the most gorgeous beaches in Florida by far. Janet and Chris were great to work with. Hope to come back soon!

Big and extremely beautiful home

We absolutely loved everything about the house and the neighborhood. The master suite is amazing We had a blast. The house was immaculate. The kids spend most of their time in the pool. We wanted to book again for the same time next year but the price has gone up tremendously and is outside of what we budget for the family trip, so maybe another year.

Mama's Happy made Mama happy!

This place is great! The pictures do not do it justice. The decor is beautiful! The family room, dining room and kitchen have a great open concept. We had 18 people staying here in the two houses and we were all very comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked and we had plenty of bath towels each day....we just had to wash them every couple of days. It was a short walk to the beach and there was a cart and plenty of beach chairs provided. We would definitely stay here again!!

Our new favorite place to vacation in Florida!

We have vacationed many places along the Panhandle of Florida and Destin is now our favorite! Staying at Mama's Happy made our trip extremely enjoyable. We took our 10 month old son on his first trip and the set up at Mama's Happy was perfect for us. The only con I would say about the location is that the public beach access from the house is not a very big beach area and fills up quickly (the condos on both sides of public access have it blocked off for condo tenants only to use), so if you want room to set up your things comfortably I would get there early. Overall, we will definitely return to Destin and if we go with a larger group would love to stay at this house again. Thanks to the owners for a pleasant stay!!!

Momma's Happy Debut

This beach property was amazing! Very easy to find with ample parking. Tastefully decorated with an unique beach flair with personal touches and the comfy feeling of home. My husband & I stayed in the private cottage with a view of the inviting pool, lovely sitting area with TV, mini fridge & coffee maker. Extremely comfortable bed & TV in bedroom. Great roomy walk in shower with an awesome overhead rain shower head. Group gatherings in the main beach house were great. Wonderful kitchen & plenty of seating for everyone. Great Location! Short walk to the beach, restaurants & shopping. Many other restaurants, shopping and spas only minutes away by car. Can't wait to return!

Mamma's Happy Review

My husband & I along with 3 other couples spent Super Bowl weekend(Jan. 31-Feb.3,2014) at "Mamma's Happy." We loved it! Every bathroom is gorgeous as well as the kitchen. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the walk was to the beach -quicker than going down an elevator at a condo. My husband & I had our morning coffee up in the "perch". We can't wait to go back with our grand kids. They will love the bunk beds. I was thrilled that Fresh Market & HomeGoods were so close by. (Not walking distance for me but a very close drive.)

Adorable house with great staff

The house worked great for our party (3 families and 4 dogs). Everything was clean and dog friendly. The one thing we didn’t realize with the carriage house is that you have to go outside to access the stairs from one level to the next. We had a few small dilemmas when we first arrived but the staff was quick to respond and tend to the issues. I was worried about how far from the beach the house was because we had several small children (which equals carrying lots of things) but it’s a straight walk up the sidewalk (roughly 100 yards). All in all, it’s an adorable house that had all the amenities we needed. We would recommend this property to others.

My family stayed at mamas happy for a week. It was a great house. It had plenty of room for my family of 17. The house has plenty of pool and beach toys! It was very close to the beach. Walking distance away from the beach less then 5 minutes! Huge plus! The only con is the house could use more towels we had to wash towels everyday to make sure there were enough for everyone to take a bath. One tip is the area of the beach where the house is gets very crowded early. We learned half way during our trip to send my husband at 5:00 am to set up all our beach stuff and we had a ocean view spot and it was right by the stairs!!!!

Great, fantastic place!!

Everything was absolutely perfect! When stepping through the front door we were pleasantly greeted with a wonderful, clean aroma and beautiful setting. Photos are 100% accurate and everything represented on the site are true to life. The proximity to the beach was great-a short walk to the beautiful aqua waters of the gulf. The beach does get a bit crowded, but a short 10 minute walk in either direction will get you to public beaches that have very few people. The pool was a perfect temperature and did not need to be heated at all. There is plenty of private spaces for 3-4 small families. We stayed there with our kids and my parents and could have easily accommodated another couple and more kids to sleep in the bunk room. The cabana was great for my wife and I so that we had some separation from others when we needed a break. We highly recommend this home to family groups!

Reunion getaway.

I somewhat chose "Mamas Happy" based on previous reviews. We have 5 children and a number of grandchildren, so we needed a large place. In sum, we loved the place. Our kids loved the proximity to the beach (although we were very disappointed with the behavior of the condo managers at the access point, who do everything to grab every inch of sand that they can). We loved the pool. It wasn't huge, but served our purposes well. The accommodations in the separate house were perfect for our visiting families. The home was obviously well taken care of. The location was VERY close to everything that we needed. Finally, Chris and Janet went out of their way to respond quickly to any needs that we had. In short, the kids told me that it was one of our best reunions ever. Thanks, guys!

Family Celebration

There were 15 in our family and this was our first family vacation to Destin. We spent hours and hours searching for the perfect property and finaly ended up choosing Mama's Happy. The amount of time spent searching definately paid off. Mama's Happy was absolutely perfect. It's a beautiful peroperty, very well decorated and equipped for everything we needed. The location was perfect. The house was directly in line with public beach access. There were 4 or 5 houses between us and the beach which was great. We actually rented a golf cart to tote coolers and supplies to the beach since we had little ones, but it wouldn't be necessary. We also had teenagers, so the golf cart provided a fun way to get them out of the house after dark. We drove it to Sonic on a couple of occasions for late night milk shakes. The pool at Mama's Happy was a big hit too. Just beautiful. We couldn't be more happy with the rental company, the property, the location - everything. Just perfect.

Unresolved Parking Confrontation with Neighbors

The property was very nice and stocked very well, I have no complaints about the condition of the property. The problem was the parking. The neighbor two doors down parked in the spaces that were assigned to us. We asked them to move on two separate days and on the second day, they were very confrontational. They told me my money did not pay for the parking, they were yelling, told me I was irrational and ridiculous. It was very upsetting. It was so bad that one of the renters across the street that witnessed everything confronted them. I reached out to the property managers during each event and was finally told to not park in the spaces that were listed in my agreement but move the furniture and park six suvs/truck/cars very close to the house. I reached out the the managers several times to get the issue resolved or to discuss some type of compensation or reimbursement for the inconvenience and the unnecessary confrontation, it’s been a week and a half, I have yet to hear back from anyone. My group had an awesome time, minus the incidents with the neighbors, we plan to go back next year but we will not rent from Venture Found again.

Vacation was excellent with a few mechanical glitches

Vacation with family is always wonderful and this home was purely inviting and plenty large enough for all of us. We had a few mechanical glitches that the vacation office had to deal with: the AC condenser leaked water out and overflowed, and the dishwasher did not clean the top rack of dishes. The maintenance man had to come fix those issues.
