Perfect location. Wonderful home. Well suited for large-ish group with plenty of bedrooms, beds, and baths. Our group of 7 had a wonderful time and hope to get another stay on the books before too long.
The location and management were great. Maintenance of the home is poor. Light bulbs are out throughout the house, the deck is very worn and splintering, sinks don’t work properly, stains on sheets, wifi is poor, etc.
House was amazing! Basically directly on the beach and private beach area. House was beautiful and roomy as well. But the location of the house can’t be beat. We will definitely be back.
Our happy place is definitely at 30A, staying at Our Happy Place was great! Perfect location to walk to the restaurants & stores but more importantly, perfect location to be close to beach and the house! We went after Christmas so it was chilly at times and having the warm pool after braving the ocean was great! Enough room for all of us, had a lovely visit!

It has easy beach access, nice floor plan and lots of bedrooms
Perfect location steps from beach & town. Great layout for kids - our two families really loved our stay. Great pool shaded in the late afternoon, large common spaces. Two master ensuites. Kids slept in the three bedrooms downstairs & had their own tv area. Easy parking. Loved it!! Would definitely book again,

This was the perfect house for our group. Even closer to the beach than expected, and the photos did not do it justice! Would definitely stay again!
This house is so cute and spread out among 3 floors. We had 3 families (6 kids & 6 adults) and it was perfect. The extra umbrellas at the beach was absolutely amazing and appreciated that more than anything with all the kids. The pool was heated and everything we needed was there. It is situated in a perfect location and had plenty of dishes, wine glasses and the best wine bar area! We will definitely stay here again separately and with friends. This was our favorite house so far over the years of renting beach homes.
Our family absolutely loved this house! Great location and the best beach access! The extra beach chairs and sand toys came in handy. The only negative thing, the stacked washer and dryer on the first floor needs some attention or replaced. Doesn’t clean at all.

This was our second time to stay here and we already have it booked for next year. Such a great house and location. We loved the short walk to the beach. It’s also just a short stroll to restaurants. We had 4 umbrellas. And 4 chairs set up. The house has beach chairs that we used. Pool was great. Highly recommend. Also love the private beach!

Great location, clean, love the beach access, chairs and umbrellas. Wanted you to know the freezer door on the fridge in kitchen will not stay closed. Lot of frozen food thawed out. Seems when you close the fridge side it pushes the freezer side open or cracked open. We rented again for next year. Thanks

Although we loved the main living area of the house and the proximity to the beach/walkway, the bedrooms on the lower level were very disappointing. They did not have adequate storage and we lived out of our suitcases all week. Bunk room would be perfect for children but the two other rooms need storage.

We have been coming to 30A for many years and this house checks all of the boxes - close private beach access, private pool, lovely views of the gulf, large well equipped kitchen, walking distance to shops and restaurants, beach toys, beach chairs, beach towels, books and board games. We also really appreciated the high quality appliances and 2nd refrigerator. An added bonus was the large outdoor eating area for our group of 12 with beautiful views of the beach. No need to bring your own umbrellas or chairs as the 4 chair/umbrella setup is included.

We loved our stay at Our Happy Place! The location is amazing with direct private beach access literal steps away from the front door. Everything we needed was provided including plenty of kitchen supplies. The beds were so comfortable and clean and two of the rooms had gorgeous ocean views. Our host was very easy to communicate with leading up to the trip, and during the trip no communication was needed because everything was so fantastic! As a bonus, there’s a great coffee shop and small shopping center walking distance from the house. We would absolutely stay here again!

This was our 2nd time to rent this home! We really like the close proximity to the beach and local restaurants. Appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels. The kitchen is well-equipped. The main floor balcony provides nice outdoor seating for meals. It is a very safe neighborhood. Only negatives: There is no storage in the 5th bedroom. I purchased & donated an inexpensive 3 drawer unit so my daughter could unpack her suitcase.There is no button/buzzer to prevent little ones from opening either of the two external pool access doors.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 June 2025
Thank you Cheryl for the review. We appreciate you letting us know what is needed in the home. We will get the pool alarms corrected right away. We appreciate your business.
What an amazing week at an amazing location. Positives= plenty of room for our party. LOVED the SIX umbrellas and 4 chairs. We’ve never had that many and it was a game changer for our group. Location can’t be beat. Loved the two fridges and 2 sets of washer dryers! Pool was a nice size as well. We loved the showers and loved the decks with great views. Negatives= some of the kitchen chairs are on their last legs and would need replaced. You may want to have someone check the lightbulbs around the property. A lot of lights were out. The bunk bed room needs new beds. The mattresses don’t fit the frames and the bunk bed felt like it was ready to fall apart. The downstairs a/c must be checked. We couldn’t get any of the bedrooms to cool.
We would rent this place again in a heartbeat. Take the negatives with a grain of salt. Just thought you would want to know both positive and negative. Thanks again for a great week!

We stayed at this rental 8 years ago and returned this year since the new owners added a fifth bedroom. We highly recommend this rental. Gated community with private beach. Since we were there in August, we appreciated both the included beach setup and the private pool. Even though several houses in the neighbourhood were undergoing renovations, we weren’t disturbed. We walked to Gulf Place to get coffee in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and shops and the farmers market in the early evening.The first floor was perfect for one family, with a frig and laundry, play area and three bedrooms. The third floor was perfect for the other two families, with a laundry and two daybeds.There was plenty of room on the second floor for everyone and evening entertainment.Short drive to our favourite restaurants: Stinky’s, Goatfeathers and Local Catch.The new owners are doing a good job of keeping the house fresh. We had a disappointing stay at the house next door two years ago, since it had six bedrooms, and there was a lack of upkeep and broken furniture.This house is worth the price. You won’t be disappointed.
