About the host
Hosted by Mande and Bruce
Be Happy Rentals of 30A is a locally owned and operated family business! We started by running our own properties and then added a few that were owned by friends, family and quality referrals. We take great pride in our homes and expect our guests to show the same level of respect to our homes as they do their own. We are readily available to answer any questions or provide suggestions to make your vacation the best possible!
Why they chose this property
My home is a new construction inland spot with a dose of tranquility for the outdoors.
Defuniak is full of Old Florida Charm, while Winter in Florida usually consists of 70 * weather and swaying palm trees.
MSN's insider Online named this city the "best small town in Florida". The heyday of the town was the Victorian Era when many of its historic buildings were constructed. Defuniak Springs old railroad depot is now home to the Walton County Heritage Museum. The Walton County Library, is the oldest in the state, is housed in a building erected there in the 1880's . Defuniak Springs is home to Lake Defuniak, one of two spring-fed lakes in the world that is nearly perfectly round. The surrounding landscape of Lake Defuniak is decorated for the holidays between Thanksgiving and New Years Day to celebrate the holiday season. This is known to locals as the "Christmas Reflections". While you're in town don't miss the Cafe Nola & Hotel Defuniak (housed in a 1920's building), Perla Baking Company, Ember's (farm to table) one of our newest restaurants, Bogey's Bar & Restaurant, Farmer's Markets on the closed off streets of downtown, food truck Friday, just to name a few. Thanks to this sweet little town we have a perfect place to get away while taking short day trips to the beaches on the Gulf Coast. It usually takes 35-45 minutes depending on the traffic. I hope you love it here as much as I do!
