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.- Reviewed On: 8/8/2021

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!- Reviewed On: 6/5/2021

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.- Reviewed On: 6/4/2021

Absolutely wonderful!!!
We loved everything about this property. The house and cabana were sparkling clean, and the pool was amazing. The kitchen is very well stocked. We never had to buy cooking supplies, which was a plus. Sometimes we've had to in the past with other properties. The house is within a short walking distance to the beach. I was disappointed to see that the condos on either side of the beach access had roped off their so-called property. This was not the fault of the home owners. This has been an ongoing struggle for the past several years, and something needs to be done. Anyway, we walked about 100 yards to the right, down the beach and set up our things. Right now it is considered public, so there was ample room for everyone. This minor inconvenience had no bearing on our vacation. Camille's is just a short walk around the corner....the Mediterranean Chicken Salad is fantastic, and so are the cinnamon rolls! We had a small, intimate family wedding on the beach one evening. I used Bonne Vie bakery (right around the corner) for a cake and it was fantastic. Everything you need is just a minute away. I can't say enough nice things about our stay at 92 Shirah Street. We will definitely be staying here again!!! 💗💗💗- Reviewed On: 8/26/2019

Mama and the rest of our crew were super Happy!
We truly enjoyed our stay. It was me and my husband, nine teenagers and our four legged baby. The proximity to the beach was awesome, the pool was perfect for a swim after the beach. We love to cook and really enjoyed the grill and the kitchen. Having shopping for our girls so close by was a win for the rainy day. The Beach House is our favorite restaurant in Destin and it was a short drive. The walk/running access to get some exercise in each day was great too. We would certainly stay here again!- Reviewed On: 4/23/2019

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.- Reviewed On: 3/16/2019
Hello! We agree that this house is one of the best in Crystal Beach! We purposely have constructed the carriage houses to be separate living spaces to give each guest a sense of privacy. So glad to hear that our staff was prompt to resolve any issues you had at arrival. We make it our goal to be on call 24/7 to answer and help guests with any issues. The beach access is as close as we described...even with little ones in tow! We hope to have you with us again soon!Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals staff

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!!- Reviewed On: 8/7/2018

Beautiful home with easy access to the beach.
We've stayed at this property multiple times for more than 3 months at a time each visit. It's a beautiful home that is always clean and well maintained. We rarely have had any issues and if we do it's very minor and our calls are attended to immediately. The owners and the rental management have been great to work with. We really like the extra yard space in the back by the pool as many local homes have the backyard space entirely taken up by the swimming pool. It's a great street with easy access to the beach which is only about a 1 minute walk away. We've made lots of friends with people that live full time on the street as well as travelers such as ourselves.. It's just a great overall location and just minutes away from most anywhere in Destin. We annually choose this property over many options we have and would highly recommend it to others.- Reviewed On: 5/9/2018

Perfect week in the perfect place!
We couldn't have been happier staying in Mama's Happy. The house is beautiful and so comfortable. You are literally steps from the beach access and minutes from any and everything you need in Destin. We had four adults, two tweens and a baby. There was plenty of room for spreading out but we mostly congregated in the living area or around the long, awesome table. We shared meals and found the kitchen to be so well stocked with pots, pans and baking dishes. The pool was perfect for the little one and the pool house was perfect for the little family of three. We appreciate all the extras this house has to offer. We will be back!- Reviewed On: 10/16/2017

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!- Reviewed On: 8/10/2017
We're so glad Mama's Happy met the needs of your large family! You came during a very busy time of year (peak season) and like all beach along our coast, space is at a premium.

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!!!- Reviewed On: 9/21/2016

Mrs.K
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!!!!- Reviewed On: 7/27/2016
Thanks so much for your review, Kera! I'm so glad you enjoyed the house and the many amenities we offer. The location being so close to the beach is a big plus for families like yours with younger children.

Destin Beachhouse getaway
Between Panama City, Pensecola and now Destin this is now are most preferred beach get away hot spot vacation home! You won't find a more beautiful, clean and accommodating home of this size with your own pool, beach amenities (they provided beach toys, boogie boards, buckets, push cart, beach chairs/umbrellas) proximity to beach (literally across street), shopping (great stores too), groceries, restaurants, bars, and entertainment for kids rain or shine (bowling, movies, go karts, mini-golf, museums, etc). We had 12 kids and 9 adults and this house was perfect. We loved the up to date modern decor, maximum use of king size beds, and with the 2 detached separate living quarters this provided additional privacy/quieter areas for 2 other families with another kitchen and full fridge. The kitchen in main house is spacious and fully equipped to accommodate cooking for large numbers and we made use of gas grill for cooking out at pool. The bar stool seating and huge dinning room table provided plenty of space so we never felt over crowded. The outside wrap around deck on 2nd floor plus additional patio seating on side of house provided plenty of space to stretch out and relax. And for TVs, need not to worry there was a TV in all rooms (bedrooms, living rooms and even master bathroom with giant spa tub). We plan to go back next year and I highly recommend anyone looking for spacious, clean, modern decor, with own pool and beach access to make your reservations early.- Reviewed On: 3/23/2016

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.- Reviewed On: 7/16/2015

Life is Good @ Mama's Happy!
Our second stay at Mama's Happy was wonderful. My husband and I were able to arrive a few days before the rest of our family. We stayed downstairs in the carriage house for the first part of our stay and moved upstairs after the rest of our family arrived. Upstairs and downstairs of the carriage house still looked brand new. The whole property has been very well maintained. The pool was already heated upon our arrival. Perfect temperature! The beach and several restaurants are within walking distance. Everything else you might need is located only a few minutes away. There was a total of eight adults staying at the house at one time. The main house provided more than ample space for everyone to gather around the table for dinner and socialize afterwards. I would definitely recommend this beach house for a romantic getaway or a family gathering. We will definitely return to Mama's Happy!- Reviewed On: 6/2/2015

And the beds were EXTREMELY comfortable! The kitchen was full of everything that we needed to cook and had lots of space for multiple people to cook at once. There is also plenty to do around the area. We really enjoyed the parade Thursday! Janet was also very helpful whenever we needed her. We are definitely coming back again this year especially because we have more people coming and they opened up the top part of the guest house :) Thank you for sharing your home!- Reviewed On: 1/20/2015

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.- Reviewed On: 9/18/2014
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, Linda! We love our street because of the homey, neighborhood feel, yet many amenities are close by. And, of course, the beach can’t be beat! We hope you’ll consider us again on your next trip to Destin!Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals staff

Great vacation
Mamma's Happy was a fabulous rental home. We had 4 families (18 people) and we had room for everyone. The home was very nice and had all the amenities we needed. It was a short walk to the beach and having the private pool was wonderful. I felt like we were in a very safe neighborhood and Janet was helpful with any needs or questions that we had. The home was also very close to restaurants, Destin Commons shopping, Big Kahuna waterpark, go carts, outlet malls, etc. It was the perfect location. We look forward to returning.- Reviewed On: 8/18/2014
Thanks for the review, Kim! We’re so happy you enjoyed the perfect location of our home in relation to the walking areas, nearby beach, and the very short distance to all sorts of entertainment and fun activities. Please let us know next time you are in Destin. We’d love to have you and your friends/family back!Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals staff

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.- Reviewed On: 8/3/2014

Perfect location and super clean!
This home was the best choice we have made in a rental. It's less than a block from the beach, short walk to shopping and restaurants and we even walked to church! We literally got in our vehical once in a week and that was my goal. It was so perfect for my young kids. They lived in the pool. Adults loved it too! If we had questions, the rental agency was very prompt. The only sad part was packing up.- Reviewed On: 5/4/2014
We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay, Jamie! We absolutely love our little neighborhood for the very reasons you mentioned - very easy distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, church, etc. We hope you'll consider us again on your next vacation to Destin!Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals staff

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.)- Reviewed On: 2/9/2014
Location and easy access to the beach are why we love Mama's Happy too! We're glad you enjoyed your "Super Bowl" stay!Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals staff

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!- Reviewed On: 2/9/2014
And we can't wait to have you again, Linda! We're glad you mentioned the custom shower and how wonderful it is . . . such a great way to unwind after a day at the beach.Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals staff

The whole package!
We enjoyed this property for a long weekend with three other couples! It was amazing and everyone had their own private bedroom and bath. Every inch of the house has been updated with beautiful finishes that include a chef's quality kitchen and spa quality baths. The house is just steps from the white sandy beaches and minutes to area shopping and restaurants. We are already planning a week in the summer with our children and grandchildren.... looking forward to a dip in the pool after we return from the beach. Of course the outdoor gas grill is always a bonus, means the men can cook!- Reviewed On: 2/9/2014
