We had out first Thanksgiving since my grandmother passed at Happy Daze and would not have asked for anything better. The views are amazing, the home itself it lovely, and the kitchen was stocked with just about everything we needed for a full traditional Thanksgiving. I know it was exactly what grandma would've wanted for us.

If you find yourself on this listing stop looking and book it! You will not be disappointed. We had 6 adults and 8 children of all ages (8 months to 20 years old) and there was plenty of room to spread out and relax. Everything about this home was better than expected and the beach is right across the main road from the neighborhood. I can go on and on about how wonderful this home is but I will let you find out for yourself! Also, if you need anything at all during your stay the property manager is so helpful and quick to respond!

Amazing house and location. Front looks out over West Bay, back on canal. Huuuuge living areas, huuuge back deck and covered area below with bar area and dock. Green lights for fishing, (huge 24" trout, slot reds and even mangrove snapper). ** note ** though listed, property no longer provides fishing poles.
Open living area on main level that accesses front balcony overlooking bay from living room and huuuge deck, partially covered , off kitchen which is VERY WELL STOCKED.
Main master is down with huge garden jetted tub, large walk in shower and comfy king bed.
Other King suite and 2 queens ans bunk room with a queen are up as is entertainment room with pool table, dart board and fold out bed.
Crab traps, paddle board, 2 kyaks, and outdoor rinse off area was a plus coming from beach. 3 bbq pits aslo a plus. Beach is a solid 20 minute walk as house is at end of very quiet and serene neighborhood overlooking bay.
Kathy was AMAZING helping us with anything we needed and house was in immaculate condition when we checked in, which was easy.
We parked one car under front and 4 full size trucks in driveway. Plenty of parking.
**Will book again and highly recommended**

NO Wi-Fi the whole time we were there and no phone service. Three adults had to work on computers and without Wi-Fi that was impossible. They finally got repaired the evening before we left. We left next morning about 9:30.

Where do I even start? The host was attentive, responsive & friendly. We had 8 adults & 6 kids ranging from 15 to 5.The day we arrived, the kids had so much fun at the house that they never asked to go to the beach. Bikes, pool table, 2 kayaks, paddle board. Life jackets.Crab traps. The only thing you need to bring is food, fishing poles & family! The humidity was pretty miserable while we were there but the downstairs patio was extremely enjoyable & where we spent the majority of our trip. We could sit in the shade with a nice breeze & watch the kids play in the water. Or you can get plenty of sun on the very spacious upper deck! We never used the grilles but there is 1 on the upstairs deck & downstairs on the patio. We took a small trailer with a golf cart & were able to fit the trailer, golf cart & 4 full sized trucks in the driveway with a little room to spare. The beach access was directly across the main road. You can drive down onto the beach & park with plenty of places to set up with little to no walking. It is our understanding if you want to be able to drive along the beach, that entrance is only 2 miles down. This area has designated parking but you are able to set up extremely close to where you park. We never even got our coolers out of the trucks and were just walking back & forth. We even had a visit on the beach from an ice cream truck which was exciting for the kids. We had a great trip, great host, house was perfect & wouldn't hesitate to rent again!

Our extended family (14 total guests) stayed at the home over Memorial Day 2023 and had a wonderful time. The home is spacious and has almost everything needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The only thing we missed were fishing rods, as the fishing opportunities in the canal looked fabulous! But we made good use of the kayaks and other toys, and enjoyed everything else about the home. Unfortunately the dishwasher stopped working midway through our stay but we had no problem hand washing for a day. All in all it was a fabulous visit and we will remember it fondly!

The location was very easy to assess the public beach across FM 3005, and many other public access close by for other beach options. The house was VERY clean, and very well stocked kitchen. Plenty of little thoughtful items as well, and the laundry supplies provided was a pleasant surprise. Our king bed downstairs was super comfortable, and the quality of the linens was very nice, one of the nicest I’ve had in a rental. Also, the water pressure for the showers (which can be so-so on the island) was strong and the master shower downstairs was fabulous. The back deck on the canal is where we spent 99% of our time in the very comfortable cushioned patio furniture! Pls be aware the mosquitoes are out in full force this time of year, so please planned pack bug spray and citronella candles! The water boards and paddle boards were nice quality, and very easy to access. We didn’t not use the boat but it was very nice looking as well. The neighborhood was very well kept, and very quiet. It was a great quick weekend get away and definitely stay here again!

We did a weekend away with some of my mine and my brother’s friends. We fished, kayaked, shot pool, hit the beach, and just got to have a great time away. We staying in & grilled so we really just played games & watched March madness around dinner time. All the guys were really impressed with the house. It definitely set us up to have an awesome weekend. The host, Kathy, was super responsive and accommodating throughout the entire process.

Loved the house and location. Only complaint is some of the amenities listed were not accurate. The bikes all had flat tires and there was no fishing poles for us as listed. Kids were disappointed as one of the main reasons for booking was fishing and bikes. Other than that, the house was amazing and the kids enjoyed playing pool 🎱

The property was beautiful, clean, and exactly as the pictures reflected. Great location near canal and beach. The home had all the modern amenities and a delightful decor. My family of ten had ample space inside and outside to have fun and enjoy each other. Also working with Kathy was a pleasure. She provided quick responses and was very accommodating to our needs. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay at this location again.

Happy Days made our family vacation easy and memorable. The owners really thought of bringing the comforts of home to a vacation house. There were activities for both adults and kids, like the pool table, games, kayaks, paddle boards, crab traps and more. We enjoyed morning coffee watching the sunrise to the east and walking down the street to watch the gorgeous sunsets to the west. There were beach chairs we used at the beach each day, which was a short golf cart ride across the main street. The pool was easy to access and convenient when the kids didn't want to go to the beach. At night, there were plenty of lights and seating for everyone to enjoy themselves outside having drinks and playing games. The rooms were well furnished and so comfortable with fans and amenities like private bathrooms and space for spreading out! The kitchen is well stocked with gadgets like a Keurig, pots/pans, baking sheets, blender and more. We didn't need to bring half the stuff we brought because they really did think of everything! The Smart TV's were a huge plus, everyone could watch their own shows, including the baby! WE would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable, easy vacation with family and friends.

We have stayed at several VRBO properties over the last few summers and this is by far the best we have stayed at. It was amazingly comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 7 kids. All the amenities and water sports were all working perfectly and efficient. The best part for us was the covered deck on the upper deck. With the temps in the upper 90's and a good west wind blowing, we were able to sit outside extremely comfortable. Thank you Kathy Waite for your ease of arrival, communication during the stay, and departure. Until next year!!

Spectacular property with lots of amenities.
Celebrated my birthday with kids and grandkids and it was perfect. Lots of things to do. Cool breeze mornings and evenings even though the temps were in the 90s. Beautiful home that gave everyone privacy. Just perfect for what we needed.

Pictures can only do so much, wait till you book and see it in person. The home is beautiful! There is plenty to do at this home if you plan to stay put. The kiddos in or party loved setting the crab traps while the adults took advantage of the underwater lights with a little night fishing. It was a great place for our family getaway. As well as plenty of space to accommodate everyone. Would love to book again!

The house was amazing, plenty of room and accommodations for our large family! Views of the water were a plus. Kitchen was well stocked! Fishing was good. If I had to say anything negative it would be that there is no outside bathroom to use and I had elderly parents that had to go up and down stairs for the bathroom.

We had a wonderful family vacation here at Happy Days! There was plenty of room for our group of 15, lots of deck space for hanging out upstairs and down stairs!! Major positives were that the upstairs deck had a shaded area and down stairs the dock was fenced off!! We had lots of kids with us so this was such a relief and made things so easy!! There was also quick and easy access to the Beach! Thanks for a great time wish we could have stayed longer! :)

We had a surprise 60th tiki birthday for my husband. There were 8 of us total. The bedrooms are beautiful and it was a bonus to have so many bathrooms. The house is amazing and looks just like the pictures. We used the paddleboard and the kayakes and had so much fun paddling around the canals. The deck is gorgeous! We stayed there the entire time. Wonderful shade with a great space to sun if you want. The whole area is quiet. There are two propane grills and a charcoal grill to use. You never have to go inside! Oh and if anybody has to work, the wifi works great.. We will absolutely be back!!

Great location and plenty to keep the kids busy. Went fishing in the morning, rode bikes and kayaked in the afternoon, then relaxed on the deck for dinner and wrapped it up with a little pool tournament in the evening. Only regret was not staying longer.
