Great house and great location.
The house was very clean. The bathrooms and the kitchen were well equipped. It is very short walk to the board walk and the beach. A lot of seating around the house, including both patios. We had a great stay celebrating my parent’s anniversary.

Beach Happy Indeed
This home was well set up, smart design for a tiny home, comfortable king master bed & clean. The location was convenient with little need to leave the property. On-site dining, bar, pool and poolside bar service kept us entertained. There is beach access and lots of sidewalks in the complex to navigate to the various routes to the beach and other amenities. Everything was within quick easy walking distance. No need to worry about having a cocktail because you can walk back to your room! My only complaint as a whole is that the coffee trailer onsite was not open very early and not always open during the advertised hours. We found off site coffee that was really good. We will most definitely return!

Family time
Perfect size for us (two adults and two little kids). Great location to golf course on the 3 kiddie holes. Front upper balcony was really nice to relax on in the evenings. Might not be ideal for a family with older kids due to the small square footage. But perfect for small kids.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Happy. The cottage was abundantly stocked with everything needed for our stay and in pristine condition. It was wonderful to sit out on the small porch in the morning and the larger balcony in the evening. We really liked the location of the cottage with close access to both pools as well as an easy commute to the beach. We are definitely looking forward to another visit!

Memorable Coastal Getaway
Overall great experience. We loved the pool and beach access. The golfcart community was a huge hit with our kids(5,3,and 1yo). It makes getting to pools easy and fun. TVs being logged into Netflix/apple tv etc. already for the kids to watch a movie was very convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware/glassware and the furniture was wonderful. There were plenty of board games etc. If you’re asking us to nitpick there was a smell to the unit that it’s unclear if it’s from building materials or from cleaning. A few of the doors to patios (one upstairs, one downstairs) didn’t lock properly but it’s small potatoes because the property is safe. For us it was a small concern because our 3 yo can open doors. Don’t forget to bring portable restraint (high)chairs for meals as the kitchen is upstairs and toddlers can roam.

Great home, mosquito problem outside
We absolutely loved the home, everything was quite clean, and except for a few minor issues, our stay was fantastic. The biggest issue we faced was swarms of mosquitoes just outside our front door, so every time we left or returned we (and other guests we saw) had to run inside or run outside very fast to avoid being bitten 5 or 6 times. Would definitely recommend and hope they begin treating for mosquitoes at the properties themselves.

Thank you for your feedback and for recommending our property! We're glad to hear that you loved the home and found everything to be quite clean.

review of 214 sunset #3
We so enjoyed staying at this perfectly appointed beach home. Each room had everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, bowls and dishes located in convenient places. The beds were very comfortable, the showers were good and the unit was nice and cool. The t.v.s worked well, too. We loved the art on the walls that added that special beach feel. We appreciated the shades that were controlled with the push of a button. We spent so much time on the porches both upstairs and down and loved eating meals on them. The location is close to the beach, downtown shopping and restaurants. We will definitely stay in this house again. We visit the beach often and are so glad we found this as it checked all the boxes!

This was the perfect size home for my husband & I with our 18 month old. The 2 bedrooms are on the ground floor, then kitchen/living room are upstairs. It wasn’t the most ‘baby/toddler friendly’ house but we expected that with any beach house. We absolutely loved the Palmilla Resort & how easy it was to get to everything, especially the beach.
