Amazing!

We had great expectations coming into this house, and Mama's Happy exceeded each and every one of them! As far as location, the house is a short walk to public beach access: we were there in two minutes tops. When it came to the house, everything was perfect. We had a group of 16 adults and I don't think anyone felt crowded at any point in the trip. The spacious main floor provided plenty of space for the group to gather across the kitchen, dining room and living room with its open floor plan, and the bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious as well. I slept on the king bed in the master bedroom and I can easily say it was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Added features such as a pool, smart televisions, outdoor shower, grill and washer/dryer just added to the convenience. (also: very close to a wide running/walking/biking trail if you are interested in exercising). In regards to customer service, the owners took care of everything in a very timely and appropriate manner--any questions that arose on my end were answered very thoroughly and promptly and all the details of our trip were handled well before we even packed our bags for Destin. If you are looking for a great group house, look no further than this house.

Fabulous Week for the Family!

Our large group felt at home at Mama's Happy. The house fit all 14 of our family with room to spare. We spent hours in the pool and loved being close to the beach. We would stay at Mama's Happy house again!

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!

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.
