This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this house. The ice maker still does not work. Same refrigerator as the last time we stayed 3 years ago. No TV’s in none of the bedrooms. Out of the other 2, only 1 worked properly. Shower in upstairs bathroom and double bed bathroom had very little hot water. The first night the house was infested with a ton of flying bugs. They were everywhere!! Not sure why??? Needs a new dishwasher as well. The house would be great if only minor maintenance and updates done. Folks pay a premium to rent one of these houses. You should at least have an ice maker. I’ve been coming to SGI for 15 years. I’ll be using a different house next time. The good things, booking agency works great, house good location, enjoyed the pool but the house just needs some TLC or folks will be looking elsewhere.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything worked well, very clean (allergy plagued family members suffer zero issues) location and pool were fabulous... and the folks at Forgotten Shores were wonderful - a storm damaged the city water system and Lindsey alerted us immediately about the boil water advisory. A leaking rental kayak had to be exchanged and she offered to assist with loan of others if the rental group didn't have another. Very accommodating and professional. Looking forward to another visit to Happy Ours.
This house was the perfect size and layout for our family of four. The kids enjoyed having a whole floor to themselves while the grown-ups enjoyed the screened in balconies. Location was perfect for all that SGI has to offer.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off, I have been renting in the panhandle for 16 years from Destin to Saint George Island. Jamie is the best hands down! Easy, approachable, responsive and a pleasure to partner with in the rental experience. We enjoyed a great week of weather and enjoyed the beach, pool and riding bikes. I also tried pickle ball too, that was fun!! Two favorite places to eat the Blue Parrot(on the island) and Fishermans wife(in carrabelle). Also be sure to try Webers little donuts but get their early! This house is equipped perfectly with everything you need. It’s a short walk to the beach or a fast bike ride. We have rented twice now and zero regrets!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second vacation to SGI, specifically staying in the Plantation. We stayed at a different house last year and had such a great experience that we booked Happy Ours for 2022. There were four of us - husband and wife and our two daughters (5 & 3). Having a gate with security was a nice layer of security and meant the beaches weren't over-crowded since they were private. The house is relatively close to the beach and my kids could handle the walk to and from the beach with minimal whining. The private pool was well maintained and we spent a lot of time there throughout the day. The outdoor shower was nice to get the sand off and having two carports was great for outdoor storage. The screened in porches were also heavily used for dinners, drinks, and even a nap. There are three full baths which was great - with tubs, so perfect for bathing the kids. The kid's room was fun, but my kids ended up sleeping in one of the big beds which was fine since we had an extra bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed and the wifi worked great in the house. We rented chairs and umbrellas for the beach and they where very handy and easy to transport. We had some questions about the place and the property and the customer service team was great at communicating with us. Everything in the house is labeled too, which is helpful. The only thing I would caution is there are a lot of stairs so if you have elderly adults of folks with mobility issues it could be something to consider. However, one of the benefits of those stairs is we were able to separate the house so we could be loud on our floor while the kids slept below us. My kids (and my wife and I) were so sad when we had to leave.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a well maintained house, with a nice pool, .2 miles from the beach. It was perfect for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids under age 12. The 2 screened in porches overlooking the pool were my favorite part of the house. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could need for preparing your meals. The beds and living areas were comfortable. The free equipment from vacay was a big plus! I’m a big fan of the management company and Jamie in particular. I’ve rented from them multiple times and have always had a great beach experience. Highly recommend this house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After a 3 year absence, we(a group of 6 adults) decided to return to Florida for a family beach vacation. Luckily the beach house we had stayed in two years in a row was available. Happy Ours was like coming home to a good friend's house. Not only did we know what to expect in accommodations, we were able to do things that we had not tried before. As usual, the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and appliances that helped us enjoy our cooking in house. We also used the outside charcoal grill for hamburger and hotdog night. We also enjoyed eating meals on the screened in decks. The beach is close by and not very crowded. We were always able to set up our beach tents near the beach access boardwalk. We have family members who prefer the pool over the beach so they were happy to use the good-sized gated private pool. Our property manager, Jaime, has always been kind to us over the years promptly assisting us in many ways. We even used the VayK Gear voucher this year for beach chairs and bicycles. The chairs were great space savers for our traveling needs and were wide enough to fit our cabooses. On Sunday we all said a sad goodbye to a house we have been very comfortable since 2017. Maybe it would be a good fit for you, too.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I stayed here for the week. We have 2 boys ages 7 and 4. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. 5 minutes tops! Easy access to the beach. We LOVED the pool area. There's a shaded area for those wanting to get out of the sun but still by the pool. There are two screened in porches looking over the pool. The plantation area is nice and quiet. Plenty of bike trails. We will definitely stay here again.
