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!

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!

This was an amazing place to be and will highly recommend to anyone. We will definitely come back next year if not sooner. Thanks you.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Wonderful
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

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 weve 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. Camilles 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 cant 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!!

Weve stayed at this property multiple times for more than 3 months at a time each visit. Its a beautiful home that is always clean and well maintained. We rarely have had any issues and if we do its 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. Its a great street with easy access to the beach which is only about a 1 minute walk away. Weve made lots of friends with people that live full time on the street as well as travelers such as ourselves.. Its 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.

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!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Clean, comfortable, roomy, beautiful, easy short walk to the beach, we'll stocked kitchen with good pots and pans. Colors are cheerful and happy and decor is inviting. Great for multiple families. Enjoyed our stay. 6 couples stayed at the house with one infant...plenty of comfortable seating. Loved this house!

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!!!

Mama's Happy home made all of us HAPPY!!!!!
We have stayed in several homes in St. George Island, Tarpon Springs and Topsail and none of them compare to Mama's Happy!!!! The location, layout of home and pool were exactly what we were looking for. Chris and Janet were very accommodating and replied to all of our questions via email within an hour. This is a great home to vacation and we look forward to returning soon!

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!!!!

Great Home
We were extremely happy with our stay at Mamas Happy! The home had everything you could possibly need! Great pool! Accommodations were great too! We had 8 adults and 7 kids and had tons of space. Beach was a very short distance to walk! Panhandle has the most gorgeous beaches in Florida by far. Janet and Chris were great to work with. Hope to come back soon!

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.

3 years outstanding!
This is our third year of vacationing with Kiley Beach Resorts. Our home was clean modern and beautiful. They are always attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They even make our pets happy.

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.

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!

Everything about Mama's Happy was fantastic. We had 15 people and we never felt crowded. The pool occupied the kids and adults for hours. We cooked most nights and the kitchen was set up perfectly. The beach is very close and the rental came with everything you need. Janet was extremely responsive and great to deal with. Overall, the trip could not have been better and Mama's house was a big reason why. We hope to be back next year!
