Beautiful home!

Our stay at this property was so beautiful and relaxing. The location right by the water and a quick drive/walk to shopping and restaurants was perfect. Checking in and out was quick and easy and the house was very clean! The garage was even full of beach chairs, toys, wagons and other items making our beach days, even more fun without the hassle of bringing all of our own items from home. We can’t wait to stay in this gorgeous house again in the future!

Perfect Family Retreat

I have three adult children ages 18, 20 and 21, and, after endless searching for the perfect beach house, found this gem. A very spacious home with more hang out spaces than we even used. An unencumbered view of the ocean (which we walked to every day). Bikes, surf boards and beach chairs available. To top it off, Joe was wonderful to book with. He is a native of the area and so was able to give a lot of tips and recommendations.10/10 recommend, we can’t wait to go back:)

Home away from home

This was a 2nd stay at Happy Hours and we are already booked for next year. We've been coming to Pensacola for 12 years now and have finally found our home away from home! Love the location, the bedroom setup and most of all the views!!! Counting down until next year!! :)

Perfect Beach House

My family and I had the best stay this weekend! Downstairs in the garage has everything you can need and more for a perfect beach day. They had beach toys, boogie boards, a surfboard, a wagon, goggles, and more. The tiki bar and hammock made the garage a fun hangout spot. The view from upstairs of the beach is stunning, and I hope another house doesn't get built across the street. The owner, Joe, was very helpful and made sure everything was perfect for our trip. Would love to stay here again someday!

Friends and Family trip

Happy Hours is an amazing property! The location is great, the setup was spacious, and all the extras in the garage hangout area were great too. We had small children and the walk to the beach was the perfect distance for our littles. Joe met us at checkin and was an absolute dream to chat with and his “beach bible” we called it was very helpful in finding things to do/places to eat. Very responsive host and a stellar property. We can’t wait to come back and visit again.

Simply Perfect!

Simply perfect describes this rental/owner. Joe met us at the rental and gave us a walk through and a few recommendations. Everything he said was spot on. It’s a great house in a great location next to the beach access! They literally offer everything you could need for a day at the beach….end of day just wheel the cart into the garage and go on with your evening. Super convenient! Plenty of room for 9 of us…..4 adults and 5 kids aged 20, 18, 17, 13 and 9. We WILL be staying here for return trips!

Perfect family and friends getaway!

We came here to celebrate a sweet 16 birthday and the big “50” birthday! This was the perfect beach house with all of the amenities, and with gorgeous beach views! The downstairs tiki bar was perfect for Happy Hour and games in the evenings! The kitchen was fully stocked, had everything we needed for cooking. The beach access was right across the street, so it was perfect! We saw dolphins and sea turtles every day, this really is the perfect beach house! We can’t wait to come back! Life was beautiful and relaxing at Happy Hours!!! And also, Joe is an amazing host! He made sure we had everything we needed all week!

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Christina Leonard

Host profile image
We are proud to be locals. We raised our family here on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This is our private home we wish to share with other families. Wonderful place to create memories!

Why they chose this property

Right across the street from the Gulf...50 yards from the water. Unimpeded Gulf access... like having your very own private beach! The free flowing floor plan allows for easy living in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The 1300 square feet of covered deck space and a 3rd level observation deck offer many places to find your own private piece of paradise and get away from the crowd and just chill! We have a 3-Day minimum rental for every month except JUNE and JULY which are 7-DAY MINIMUM

What makes this property unique

Located right across the street from the Gulf with views of Santa Rosa Sound as well. Great home for large families! Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, no condos in the area, ideal for families with small children.
Imagine spending the day on the Gulf, and never having to use an elevator nor a public restroom! Ha!
