Fabulous Week for the Family!

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!

This house was perfect for our family.

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!

Vacation was excellent with a few mechanical glitches

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.

Unresolved Parking Confrontation with Neighbors

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.
