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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

nice house

Nice house although I think it is ridiculous that you have to buy your own toilet paper, trash bags, soap, and paper towels for how much this property costs. Also the price to heat the pool is ridiculous and it wasn't even heated when we arrived

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!!! 💗💗💗

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!

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.

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!!

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!

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!
