Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad the house was comfortable and spacious for your whole family. We’d love to host you all again on your next family getaway!
Everything was great! Only real issue was the sound for the TV in the living room would not work the entire time we were there.

We brought our entire family (12 adults, 4 children) for a weeks stays. The house is beautiful, well kept with everything you need. The pool is great, video games, ping pong, bikes, kayaks . The house never felt crowded, there was space for everyone. We enjoyed the house and St George Island!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy that the house was perfect for your large family and that everyone had plenty of space to relax and enjoy. It's great you enjoyed both the house and St. George Island, and we’d love to welcome you all back anytime!- Abi
The house was beautiful we did have a few issues arose but nothing major. We ran out of propane on day 1 which was a tad frustrating, and the sink needed batteries which was a first for me. But it was a lovely house and we all enjoyed it very much.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of room for my parents, siblings and our kids. We loved all the big decks with plenty of seating and the convenience of being such a short drive or walk to the beach. Ashley, the host, was super responsive when needed and we’d definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed this place very much. The manager was fast in fixing any problems. The pool was perfect for all of us & the ocean was a close walk. My kids want to come back here next time.
We loved our stay at Happy Trails. We had a few minor issues but they were quickly resolved. The property was clean, nice private location and easy drive to the beach access. We also enjoyed the community pool area as the house pool temp was still a bit cold in early May. We definitely want to return.

Hi Joe,
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay!
Our trash service is a valet service, pick up on Saturday only.
I will be sure to get with our cleaning crews and lawn maintenance about this issue.
We stayed here to have an adult weekend away and it did not disappoint. The house has a perfect location, close to amenities but not right on top of your neighbor. The amenities of the home are great; pool, bikes, cornhole, etc. The beds were comfortable and the house has everything you need. We can't wait to have a return stay!

Thank you, Katrina!!
I am so happy you enjoyed your stay!
We love to hear that you enjoyed the home as much as us!
Our family group of 6 adults and 5 children (age 13 and under) fit comfortably in the house and there was ample space inside and out to accommodate everyone for meals. The walk to the very private beach was pretty direct and took 8-10 minutes to walk. We very much enjoyed our stay!
This was such a fun place to stay! The home was clean upon arrival and there was plenty of room for our group of 13 to spread out. We loved the private feel of the property on this secluded street. We were able to bird watch from the back porch. We made plenty of use of the pool, bikes, corn hole and especially the ping pong tables. Would definitely stay here again!

Melissa,
Thank you for your review. We would love to have you return!
This property was perfect for us. Our group wanted to be on the beach but the budget just wouldn't allow us to do that and have the pool that the teens wanted. This house had it all! It was absolutely perfect for us and we had an amazing week.

Thank you for your review! We are so pleased to hear you had an amazing stay!
We hope to have you again!
We had 16 adults (19-88) celebrating my 80th birthday. The location was perfect with lots of privacy in native Florida surroundings. We all enjoyed having fun in the pool and on the beach every day. The younger generation enjoyed fishing, kayaking and 3 of the bikes were usable.
Be sure to bring extra towels, beach towels and kitchen towels.

Barbara,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Guest feedback is important to us! We will be sure to check on the bikes, and speak to the cleaners about more kitchen towels. We do only provide one bath towel and wash cloth per the amount of people the home sleeps. We do not provide beach or pool towels!
We hope to have you again!
All our best,
