Happy Days

This is an older villa with a more updated main floor and a cozy 80’s vibe everywhere else. Here is the scoop on staying in Debordieu: There is a $200 per day amenities fee if you are a guest (this includes the main club pool). However, this villa has a private pool for villa guests that you can use for no additional fees. Great find for parents and the pool is roomy and clean. The oceanfront location was also nice. Elevator in working condition as well. Tidelife is fantastic, as always.

This is a great little villa, especially if you have kids. If you’ve never stayed in Debordieu, you will want this tidbit of info: The amenities charge is $200 per day. Translation: if your house doesn’t have a pool, you’re going to be paying a high fee for your little ones to swim at the main club pool. That’s why this villa is a real find. There is a pool for those staying in the villa that you can use with no additional fee (for Villa renters only). I actually prefer this pool over the main club pool. It is also oceanfront so you are steps away from the beach. The bedroom decor is very casual with an eighties kind of vibe, but the main floor is slightly more updated. Not luxurious, but It felt super cozy to me. The elevator was also in good working order so pretty accessible if you are traveling with someone who is handicap or elderly. The sunroom was a nice touch too! Highly recommend.

We have stayed here for the past 15 summers and it feels like home. The villa is getting a bit tired and dated, but it is still comfortable.

Absolutely wonderful! The grand babies enjoyed the pool which is where we ended up most days. Happy Days is beautifully decorated and gives you the comfy beach home feel.

As usual, DeBordieu doesn’t disappoint! The beach was perfect! Ok, it was rainy and cold some days, but we were able to get out on the beach and LOVED it ! We had our 8 month old grandson who loved his first time on the sand and at Deb.

We had a wonderful week at Happy Days! The name fits! Villa was beautiful, clean and perfect location. Enjoyed watching dolphins from the sunroom, great pool right out our doorsteps and the beach just steps away. Golf cart rides in the afternoons seeing all the wildlife. Will definitely come back!

Condo is beautifully decorated and very well kept! Had everything we needed to have a fun and relaxing vacation! Love the addition of beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards etc. They were a hit with the kids!

We love Debordieu and working with TideLife is the best. Suzanne is the only person to call when going on vacation to the beach.

Happy Days is everything they say it is and more. Very spacious. Beach was great with lots of shells and not over crowded. Kitchen had more than the required amenities. Screened in porch was where we spent so much time, from morning coffee to a glass of wine at night. Would highly recommend this property.

This is the second time staying at Happy Days, but our first time renting through Tidelife. Suzanne and her staff was very friendly and helpful when setting up the rental. She responded to emails right away and was extremely pleasant to work with.

Happy Days is in a terrific location and proximity to the pool and beach. The unit is nicely furnished, and the kitchen is loaded with any pot, pan, dish, and utensil that you can possibly need. There was plenty of room for five adults and one toddler. The unit even had a pack and play, baby gate, and bed rails. It's wonderful to not have to pack those items!

As far as issues, we had some trouble with the lock on the sunroom door and called to ask for help. A gentleman from Tidelife came to help lock the door, but the lock wasn't repaired so we continued to have the same issue. We also love grilling at the beach, and unfortunately the grill was in desperate need of replacing. When you pay as much for a rental unit you'd at least expect the grill to be replaced every few years since the salt air takes a toll.
