Destin Beach House - Happy Harbor House

My guess and I had the best time at this rental property. Very close to all the fun activities and the house was comfortable for everyone. The pool and boast slip was amazing.

We traveled to Destin by boat and enjoyed a long weekend at the house! It was easily accessible and close to several restaurants and shopping. The house was perfect for the 7 of us- had lots of room. We will definitely stay here again if we all come back next year!

We really enjoyed this house. It was perfect for an extended family. There was places for everyone to have their own space with the two living room areas but big enough areas for everyone to also be together. The pool area was our favorite! Very nice and well kept with spaces for people to hang out in the pool and out of the pool at the same time. Also good location close to the beach access. Will be coming back!

Megan - Posted: 7/16/2024

Thank you for your kind review, Megan! We are thrilled to hear that you and your extended family enjoyed the space and amenities at the house, especially the pool area. We look forward to hosting your family again on your next beach getaway!

Great place to stay especially with the access to the private beach and the boat slip. We go to Destin every June and bring our boat and this house works great for us. Just a 5-10 minute boat ride (at idle speed) from the Harborwalk, the East Pass, and Crab Island. Private beach is a short walk.

David - Posted: 7/5/2024

Thank you for your feedback, David! We're delighted you had a great stay and found the house perfect for your needs, especially with the private beach access and boat slip.

Location is perfect, and home is absolutely beautiful. We were able to dock our wave runners, fish, swim at the home and walk to the beach with all the amenities to make a beach day relaxing and enjoyable. Destin Harbor and crab island right at your fingertips. The most amazing beaches with white sand and clear water. We will definitely be back!

What a wonderful place!!!
We brought our family and our 30 ft bow rider and it fit perfectly in one of the two slips and easy tie down points on the pilings. Slip was Deep enough even during low tide. Canal view was nice and clean and did not leave stains after 5 days. Several outdoor areas to hang out, either by the dock, under the patio or the above deck with a wonderful sunset view down the canal. Great location, great house, great host and a great time!!! We will be using this place again. It looks just like the pictures.

Stephanie - Posted: 9/25/2023

Thank you for your enthusiastic review, Stephanie! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time with your family at our place and that it accommodated your 30 ft bow rider perfectly with the two slips and tie-down points.

We look forward to hosting you again, and we're pleased that the property lived up to the pictures. Your kind words are much appreciated, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another great experience!

Thank you very much!! We had a wonderful time staying at your home. We absolutely loved it there. Having a boat slip was perfect the house was amazing and comfortable. We would absolutely come back to this home again. Such a peaceful place to relax after spending the day at crab island. We loved it very much !!

Paid for the pool heater and it took 3 days to warm pool, that was really the only compliant. Otherwise, the house was expensive but with it if you need a slip for your boats. We had a great time.

If we had had pretty weather (host couldn’t control) and an elevator, this would have been a perfect week. So first the weather: Mother Nature was in a post mood this Christmas, and while my complaints are trivial compared to the suffering in Buffalo, NY, we did pay for a beach house, and it was too cold to go out on the amazing back deck of this house— it was so pretty! The freezing temps burst the pipe in the outdoor shower; we called the appropriate number, got a property management contact for out section of the company’s properties who was obviously annoyed by the call but also very competent getting the word to a maintenance worker who got the gushing vertical pipe turned off within the hour 😁😁 The house was nicely appointed, furniture was in great condition and pretty, bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. And kitchen and baths were great, but i marked this communication down a notch because i was told that though there were no steps to impede a wheelchair o on the first level and it had the living room, actually it had one living room and the one up the staircase was the obvious primary living space, so the family wanted to gather there which left my disabled son out of the loop for periods of time. If However you aren’t planning with that in mind, this house is a great value, a clean, well furnished stay with lovely outside accommodations.

We stayed here after arriving at our original Airbnb to find it was under construction! Unfortunately our Groom’s bachelor weekend was about to be ruined!
I found this location and booked it for the day of! They were extremely fast and got us the door code within minutes! They were quick to speak on the phone with us as well.
The home is incredibly nice! Very clean, and has a beautiful back yard with two outdoor showers, a large pool, two seating areas, two large boat slips, and great rooms!
Very very impressed and we’d love to stay here again!!
