Happy Joy- Pool-Sleeps 6- 2 Min Walk to Beach- Family Friendly and NO STEPS!

Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation, a couples getaway, or a peaceful retreat by the water, this cozy condo is designed to help you slow down, unwind, and enjoy island life.

On your way, you’ll pass the community pool and outdoor shower, making it easy to rinse off after a day in the sun.

Many guests comment that the beds in the condo are some of the most comfortable they’ve ever slept on!

Relaxing!!
Love this place and you can look out the window and see the ocean!! We had 6 people and all slept good. When you go to the beach there was never to many people there always had plenty of space!! We took our kids and they range from 2yrs old to 17 years old. The walk to the beach is not bad at all. We went the last week in June.

Beautiful Condo in great location!
We absolutely loved our stay at Happy Joy. We were traveling with our 3 children, ages 10, 10 and 12. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We walked about 2 miles down the beach in one direction. We fished 100 yards from the condo, we rented bikes and biked to the bird sanctuary and to the Fort and visited the aquarium.
The owners thought of every amenity to make our stay amazing. We will definitely be back!

This was a lovely place to stay! No one’s fault that Francine rolled in to spoil the show! Loved the proximity to the beach & we managed 3 beach walks. Okay the last one we got pretty damp but it was exciting! Not your every day experience! We loved the place. Just wished we could have stayed longer! ☺️

The Island of Peace
The property location is a perfect setting for much needed recharging time with the family. This property is one of the older properties The outside shows character and age, however the owners of A9 Happy Joy have put their modern touch of decor inside to make the inside feel like home. Our family and I enjoyed our downtime on the private beach all day and in the evening cooking meals making memories together. It is important to know that this property is shared with some full-time occupants Their idea of peace and quiet may not be the same as yours so select accordingly as we learned to adapt and adjust. Thankful for the long days on the beach we were able to adjust to the heavy footed neighbor above with the vocal dog. We are definitely interested in looking at other rental location options to revisit Daulphin Island in the near future. We were thankful with the willingness of the host to hear our concerns about their "heavy footed" above.

Thank you for your review! Unfortunately, this stay was right during the Christmas Holidays and the upstairs permanent resident did have family visiting. We did speak with them and asked if they could remove their shoes and try to be as conscious as possible of their noise, I believe the problem has been resolved as the next guests did not have the same noise issue. We love our little island and our cozy Happy Joy condo!

Great location for a family beach trip
The private beach was convenient for short daytime excursions and allowed us to quickly return to air-conditioning when needed. I’d recommend packing extra Pedialyte powder to give a hydration boost as our son had a prolonged episode of tachycardia although we constantly pushed fluids.
The condo was clean and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and plenty of bath linens and beach towels were available. We brought laundry pods but there were plenty to use for our short stay. Our first aid kit didn’t include vinegar for jellyfish stings, so I was happy to see it in the cabinet. Basic dishes and utensils were included. Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel dispensers were included. An assigned parking space was available right outside the unit.
The upstairs kitten rushed into the condo unit and needed to be retrieved but that was how we found the missing puzzle piece mentioned in previous reviews under the couch! Speaking of upstairs, be prepared for noise from the unit above in this older downstairs condo. I first thought there was someone inside our unit upon arrival. Sounds continued during our stay - not before 8 am or past 10 pm - but the loud echo of coolers being dragged, running, and doors slamming was reminiscent of living in a dorm. We found books for a 4-8 year-old age level as well as a few for older children and adults.
We collected seashells, ghost crabs, and visited the Aquarium to learn about marine life and pet stingrays. East End Public Beach (near Fort Gaines) had the best shells and a hermit crab colony along the rocks. We left our gear at home as the provided chairs, toys, nets, umbrella, soft cooler, and beach wagon were convenient. I did still bring our own larger pop-up canopy shelter for better sun coverage and a larger soft-sided cooler.
Our family recommends Pirate’s Bar and Grill (panoramic views and selection of adult beverages), Skinner’s Seafood (homemade shrimp and crab bisque, steamed shrimp with black pepper and garlic, crab legs), and Lighthouse Bakery (cinnamon rolls). We spent 1.5 days in Mobile and Foley (outlet mall). A&M Peanut Shop in Mobile sells nuts to feed squirrels in Bienville Square.
Overall, we found our stay very comfortable. I’d recommend the condo for small families but would caution guests to prepare for background noise that comes with living in close proximity. When I reached out to Joy before arriving she was prompt and responsive, so I am certain that she would have helped if needed.

Happy Joy is truly a special place
Our family was there for spring break. The location is perfect; there is a pool and the beach is literally just steps away. The "extras" provided by the owner were very helpful--beach accessories and a wagon to haul them in.
The unit had plenty of space for the five of us. It could easily sleep 8.
We would happily stay here again. The island is a fun place to be, and this unit gave us great access to all of it!
