Family Trip

Our OK and LA family met in Gulf Shores for a beach vacation. 6 adults and a 3-year old. Had a great time at Happy Ours. It was well equipped with all we needed, far enough away to be out of the hustle, but close enough for an evening drive to dinner. We’ll stay here again!! Thanks for the great stay!!

Perfect For Baseball Family/Friends

Everything about our stay was perfect. So many positives like location, space, amenities, etc. Some tiny, basic maintenance is needed but the urgent items were taken care of immediately by the host to ensure bathroom door roller was fixed. The top panel of the dishwasher falls off and the coffee pot had something white and murky in it when we arrived. But focus on the positive! Will absolutely stay here again and again.

Perfect Family Getaway Spot

Our family of 6 with kids ages 6-17 all enjoyed this home! The property was exactly what we expected from the pictures and had most everything we needed - and even what we didn’t know we needed like a cart with beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for the family! The only thing it didn’t have that we felt was missing based on other rentals we saw in the same community was beach/pool towels, a grill, family games, and blinds/curtains for the front door. We did email about a broken door upon our arrival and didn’t get a response back but overall it didn’t affect our stay and we enjoyed our time. We would definitely rent again and recommend to our family and friends!!
