About this property

TOP RENTAL! Pool! Elevator! Close to beach! Amazing Views! Spacious!

Welcome to 'My Happy Place' on beautiful St. George Island! Formerly known as She Shells and Broadwing, always a top rental! My Happy Place is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home with a sleeper sofa, offering sleeping for 10 guest.
You will find amazing views at this home with plenty of porch space and seating to enjoy them. We believe the view from the top balcony is one of the best on the island! You are only a short walk to the bike path and the St. George Island beach from this home.

Chances are, this gorgeous Victorian home has caught your eye if you have ever driven down Gulf Beach Drive near the corner of 12th street and the St. George Island plantation gate. This home towers high with 2 floors of living space with an additional stair set going up to the 3rd floor reading nook with balcony. Numerous windows and tall ceilings make this home bright, airy, and open.

Through out the home you will find nautical décor touches with tranquil colors on the walls. You can relax sitting in the open living room with comfortable seating, wrap around windows, Flat screen TV, and a large book shelf with plenty of books and games. Take a peak on the kids in the pool downstairs by walking out the screened in porch off the living & kitchen area. By the way, our kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, bake ware, appliances- including: coffee maker, blender, toaster, mixer & more. All stainless steel appliances in this kitchen!
The enchanted dining area features a wooden chandelier, romantic wall sconces, a built in bench for the dining table, and a sliding glass door for access to the outside screened porch.

Along with kitchen and dining on the first floor, there is a hallway bathroom with shower, and a full bedroom with a flat screen and a beautiful view. By taking the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor you have 3 bedrooms on this level. The King master bedroom is simply wonderful! As pictured, take a look out the windows for palm tree-tops & a gulf view . Walk out to your own private screened in porch off the master to feel the breeze. The circular shape and window placement in the master bedroom makes for another panoramic view with plenty of sunshine lighting. Double dressers and a flat screen in the master! Off the master you have the master bathroom with a tub/shower combo, vanity, and small linen closet for your sunscreen and towels. Around the corner is a fun place for children. Bedroom #2 features 2 twin beds, a book shelf with books, closet, bright artwork on the wall, and a fun kid's table for 2! Bedroom #3 is a Queen bedroom featuring fun aqua walls with pops of coral decor, awesome - amazing views, and a flat screen to top it off! There is a Jack and Jill bathroom conveniently located between Bedroom #2 & #3. This bathroom is a tub/shower combo with vanity.

The multiple decks on this home make the outside feel as spacious as the inside. Wide parking spaces under the home, including a wide drive way. Take a swim in the pool and soak up the sun with outdoor seating including chairs & lounge chairs, all surrounded by a privacy fence. As an added bonus, there is an outdoor bathroom with sink, outdoor shower, and an outdoor fish cleaning station located just outside the pool gate.

**Pool can be heated for a fee of $250 but is not guaranteed due to the weather below 60° or any maintenance issues that may arise. Please call when you book the home to heat the pool and the week before your arrival in case of inclement weather or maintenance issues.

The 2 screened in porches have plenty of seating as well as fans and lighting. The elevator is ready to bring your guest and groceries up, at no charge to use. We welcome well-behaved pets for a pet fee. Yes, there is FREE Cable & WI-FI!

We invite you to stay at 'My Happy Place' on beautiful St. George Island. We truly believe you will be happy you did.

Sister's Trip
We enjoyed our stay at my happy place. The location is perfect directly across the beach short little walk. The views from the front porch are amazing. We did have a couple of hiccups but the owner was very responsive and sent someone out immediately to take care of them and they were small things. Everything is provided in the kitchen for cooking. The beds were comfortable. We did run out of toilet paper and had to make a run to the store unexpectedly but that's minor compared to the great time that we had in this beautiful home. It was the perfect getaway for my sisters and I.

Happy Place
House was wonderful the elevator was a little hard to work sometimes but the property manger helped us to understand how to work it since you had to manual flip a button . Other than that the house was very spacious . The beach there was never crowered.

Great location, house a little outdated
We stayed here for a week with 5 adults, 2 dogs, and 5 children, 0-5 years old. The location is amazing, only a short walk to public beach access that was never crowded. Pool was nice and private and we were overall comfortable during our stay, but will probably not stay here again. We appreciated that there is a baby gate installed at the top of the stairs on the top level (living room/kitchen) and the elevator is basically impossible for the kids to access on their own, so that was not a safety concern. The house was a little dirty (floors turned our feet black from day one), a bit outdated, and lacking some items (no oven mitts?!, bare minimum of shower/hand/dish towels). We had a few issues during our stay and the property manager was super responsive and had everything resolved very quickly. For example, the dishwasher was all but falling out of the cabinet and he had someone over the next day to repair. The battery to the door lock died and we were all locked out (with a 6 month old during the hottest part of the day), and he replied within 2 minutes and had someone over to the house truly in under 10 minutes. We also noticed there was sewage coming out the back of the house, and the pest control guy even commented on it when he came by (unannounced, which we did not love and didn't have him spray inside because we had babies sleeping and our dogs in the house). All in all, for the price and location -- and being pet-friendly -- this place was fine.
