House was nice but somewhat dated. Clean so no worries. Recommend staying. one NOTE: The thermostat for the house is behind the sliding barn door. Took us a day or so to figure out!

Quickly becoming tradition

This was our second year staying in this beautiful space! Our four teens do not love sharing rooms, so this house is perfect to allow great times of togetherness AND moments of space and peace. We just love the house and its location. It is quickly becoming a favorite place for my entire family!

Another Great Stay at the Happy Place

We had another nice time at the happy place! This is our little slice of heaven to be in the Indian Pass area for our spring vacation. We enjoy the comfort of the home and closeness to the beach. It brings the right vibe and pleasantries as we kick back and relax. Thanks again!

Best beach trip ever!

Three moms, five kids. Plenty of room and well stocked! Christy was an excellent communicator! Super safe neighborhood and close enough to the beach that we could let our kiddos off leash a bit. We loved this place!

Wonderful Home!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Happy Place! You can tell that the home is very special to the owners, and you really feel at home when you're there. The decor is bright and lovely, and the screened in porch is a great place to hang out for some quiet time. Christy was super nice and helpful, answering questions and offering suggestions for places to visit, throughout our stay and before we arrived as well!

Perfect getaway location

Nice clean house with an excellent location close to the beach. Communication with owner was excellent. Prompt responses to any questions. Definitely recommend renting the owner's golf cart - makes the vacation more fun and getting to and from the beach quicker and more convenient - especially handy if you need to restock beach goodies ;) would definitely stay again.

My husband and I had a wonderful trip. The house was perfect. It was clean and well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to find everything in. We enjoyed our walks to the beach to fish and look for shells as well as watch the sunrises and sunsets. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us in this most perfect location.

Relaxing in Indian Pass

This property met our needs perfectly as we needed a place to house our family and friends for a relaxing vacation. Everything was represented well and we had a great stay. The house's location and decorations make the experience feel like you have the total relaxing beach experience. We had one minor issue that was taken care of quickly. Overall, we were so thrilled to stay at this place and look forward to more adventures at Indian Pass in the future. Thanks Christy!

Family vaca

The house was amazing! My kiddos don’t like to share sleeping space so the house accommodated all of us well. Location, awesome. We had a tricky check-in but the issue had nothing to do with the owner or property. The issue was resolved quickly and thoroughly! Owner personally called and checked on me and my family. Would highly recommend!

Seaside Relaxation

Christy was amazing to work with! Great communication and quick to respond. We had a wonderful week at this seaside bungalow. Loved being able to ride the golf cart everywhere! It was great fun. Highly recommend renting golf cart from St Joe Patio, first class service for sure! Thankfully Christy connected us to them in time to secure a golf cart for the week-it was actually in the driveway waiting for us when we arrived! We found the home to be graciously stocked with everything…even dog bones. We were a group of 4 adults and we didn’t feel crowded within the space. The one bathroom was challenging at times, but we took turns showering first for dinner each day. Ha! There is another toilet and sink but they reside in a dim lit room with no A/C or circulation, so we kept that door closed. It shares the space with a washer & dryer which did come in handy for our towels. There is a rinse off shower outside which my husband and I both used on separate occasions when we just wanted to get clean while the bathroom was occupied. The home has a unique layout which even includes an office space. My husband had a work webx call he had to take one day and this space was perfect. Internet speed was good and we had no issues with cell service. We enjoyed being locals during the week and indulging in good eats and shopping in boutiques. We always have to eat at Indian Pass Raw Bar when we visit and loved being able to drive the golf cart there! Thank you for sharing your home.

Musty, outdated, poorly maintained old house

Stay away! The listing included a golf cart, a huge factor in choosing this home, but upon arrival, we found the owner lacked insurance for it so that we couldn't use it. The house was 78 degrees and got hotter with the AC running, reaching 80. After multiple calls, we contacted VRBO, and an HVAC tech arrived at 1 am. The next day, the owner refunded the first night and suggested renting a cart, but the rental place had none. That evening, the AC failed again. The owner gave condescending explanations and suggested keeping the drapes closed all day. On the third day, another HVAC technician came, disrupting our plans. The house was wretched. The twin beds were thin and crunchy, and the queen bed slid on the platform. The kitchen was dirty, with a filthy fridge and dishwasher. Coffee mugs had to be washed due to crusty shelf residue. Expired condiments made us wary of using anything. The laundry room had no airflow, making it a sauna. Clothes had to be hung to dry or run through the dryer 3 times. The closets were filthy and musty, so we lived out of suitcases. The front window was covered in dried dog slobber. The couch slipcover needed constant adjustment. The one full bathroom had a modest remodel, but there was a pile of hair under the toilet paper holder. We felt we wasted several thousand dollars. The poorly maintained, outdated home felt like a musty fish camp with cheap upgrades. The golf cart and AC consumed too much vacation time, and the owners were condescending.

About the host

Hosted by Christy Byers

Host profile image
We are a family of three who absolutely love this area! We currently reside in Lakeland, Florida. I (Christy) spent my summers and many other holidays here with my family. In October of 2022 we were blessed so much when my Great Aunt's home became available for sale, some of my best memories growing up were made here. We decided to share the home which we now call The Happy Place for you and your family to make happy memories. We love hosting our home because we love hearing how much you end up falling in love with Indian Pass, it means so much to us!

Why they chose this property

Indian Pass is so much more than we could try to describe here, you absolutely have to see it for yourself to understand. We brought our little guy here when he was a year old and the freedom of just letting him run on a beach with no crowds was amazing! Our neighbors care so much about the Pass and there is so much History here! It truly is one of the best kept secrets! The sunsets are amazing and the shells you can find on the beach are plentiful!!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because of the love that has went into it and my hope is that you feel at home when you walk in. The home was originally a church in Port St. Joe and was moved to Indian Pass in the late 70's, my Great Aunt and Uncle owned the home and so many family dinners have been had on the porch. The stars are absolutely breath taking at night here and you can hear the waves from our porch. We have included top notch amenities also to help you enjoy your stay!!
