We brought our entire family (12 adults, 4 children) for a weeks stays. The house is beautiful, well kept with everything you need. The pool is great, video games, ping pong, bikes, kayaks . The house never felt crowded, there was space for everyone. We enjoyed the house and St George Island!
Our family group of 6 adults and 5 children (age 13 and under) fit comfortably in the house and there was ample space inside and out to accommodate everyone for meals. The walk to the very private beach was pretty direct and took 8-10 minutes to walk. We very much enjoyed our stay!
We had 16 adults (19-88) celebrating my 80th birthday. The location was perfect with lots of privacy in native Florida surroundings. We all enjoyed having fun in the pool and on the beach every day. The younger generation enjoyed fishing, kayaking and 3 of the bikes were usable.
Be sure to bring extra towels, beach towels and kitchen towels.
The pool area was nice and the kids loved it. Views from the balconies were beautiful. Not a bad walk to the beach. We never did figure out how to turn the light on in the downstairs bedroom. And could use some minor repairs. It would be helpful if the remotes were labeled. And if the fans in the pool area worked we did enjoy our time there!
This is a nice, clean house just a short walk to the beach or Bayshore. They have stocked it with just about everything you would want for an outdoor activity from bicycles to kayaks and fishing poles! The pool was very nice and offered another choice for getting wet. Although this is a community, the way it is laid out gives every lot privacy and you will quickly forget you have neighbors! There are a few maintenance items that need to be taken care of but nothing major. We will definitely be back!

Great location, house needs some work
Great location in the Plantation. I would not stay here again - there were just enough things that were bothersome. The sheets, towels and carpets were stained. The porch furniture was really dirty and although I asked during check in for someone to come clean it, no one ever did so we could even utilize 3 of the 4. Although there were a lot of bikes available, most were so rusted they weren’t useable.

Retirement Vacation Trip
The home was beautiful, clean and large enough for a lot of people to stay comfortably. It has been newly remodeled and very roomy. There were 10 adults with 2 toddlers and plenty of space to spread out. The King beds were comfortable.The screened-in pool area was another story. We rented this home solely for the screened-in pool area. Being Floridians we know how bad the outdoor insects are. We arrived to find a couple of screens torn from the frame and several had large holes in them. The doors were broken and the patio area was dirty however the pool was clean. This was a huge let down! We contacted management and sent photos. We received a quick reply with an apology and was told the property manager would come out. The property manager never showed and we weren’t contacted again until a couple days before we checked out. Once again they apologized but nothing was ever done. The property was listed as “Your private screened in pool awaits!” That was a huge disappointment to say the least.The property is close to the beach and has a pool but did not provide beach towels so you may want to check before you come. The review asked to rate the “Property Manager” which I gave one star since they never came out or contacted us regarding the screen situation. The rest of the staff I communicated with I would give a 5 star rating, they were very prompt with the communication and were under impression the property manager had contacted us.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of room for my parents, siblings and our kids. We loved all the big decks with plenty of seating and the convenience of being such a short drive or walk to the beach. Ashley, the host, was super responsive when needed and we’d definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed this place very much. The manager was fast in fixing any problems. The pool was perfect for all of us & the ocean was a close walk. My kids want to come back here next time.
We loved our stay at Happy Trails. We had a few minor issues but they were quickly resolved. The property was clean, nice private location and easy drive to the beach access. We also enjoyed the community pool area as the house pool temp was still a bit cold in early May. We definitely want to return.
Great property. Lots of amenities . Wonderful location on a very quiet street. New owners were great to deal with. Only negative was it Could have meet a little cleaner as there was trash around the property from the prior stay.
