Just Piddling

My entire family, 8 adults and 6 grandkids, visited Just Piddling as a Christmas getaway. The house exceeded our expectations, the beach and location exceeded our expectations and the heated pool was simply beautiful. The pictures truly do not do it justice. I honestly couldn’t think of one item we didn’t have at our disposal. We definitely plan on returning.

For years, our family group (16 of us) have stayed at a place that was too small and was "okay." We decided to try a Fall Break trip to the gulf and found this house. It was EXACTLY what we needed. It was plenty large for our 16 (8 adults and 8 kids). They've thought of everything with this house. There's two of just about everything (2 dishwashers, 2 refrigerators in the kitchen...and a 3rd on the first level...2 golf carts, 2 ovens, 2 laundry rooms. The table space is huge both inside and out. The heated pool was a favorite of the kids. The neighborhood is quiet. The elevator was a life-saver for luggage and groceries. I can't say enough good things. Never once did we feel cramped. Great job with this property.

Our family had a great vacation. The home has everything you need or want. It’s the perfect location. We will stay here again.

Our first morning at this beautiful location was met with tragedy--my husband passed away from a heart attack. Fortunately our family was all there and we helped each other get through this. I am thankful we had this beach house as our base to work out arrangements for my husbands funeral in Mobile, Ala. later in the week. Having the elevator was wonderful for me personally. Having the pool to occupy our small grandchildren was a blessing. And the golf carts were great to have to go to the beach. I would say the only issue anyone had was the awkward coffee maker (I would suggest just a nice Keurig would suffice), and the stove (when using the very large pans for cooking large quantities, it was difficult to use the other burners). Otherwise, we loved the spacious rooms and furnishings. Oh it would have been nice to have some kind of instructions on using the television.

Great location! Great space for our party of 11 with 6 teenagers! Every bedroom having a private bath was a huge plus! Two washers, dryers, and dishwashers helped make our family even more comfortable! Everything was very very clean! Our only disappointment was having to buy our own gas for the grill!

We had 24 people stay at this home for our family vacation. It fit all of us comfortably and we had the best time! Easy access to the beach and so close to the golf course! We did have a few issues, but the host was an easy phone call or text away and got everything taken care of! This place was amazing!

House is large enough to accommodate my family. It was clean, which is extremely important to me. We love the pool, golf carts, close to the beach, etc.

Property has everything we, as a large family, require.

House was extremely clean and well supplied with all necessities. Refrigerator and coffee pot on each level. Very large kitchen with double refrigerators, two dishwashers, 2 ovens. Kitchen was stocked with an abundance of plates, dishes, pots, etc. Maintenance man was extremely courteous and quick in responding when we had an issue with the hot water heater. Would highly recommend this house and Harris Vacatiions.

Our track and field state qualifiers needed a place to stay for the three day AHSAA track and field State Championship. Just Piddling was perfect for our crew. The athletes were able to relax in the pool or at the beach after each long day at the track meet. They were able to hang out in the large living room/dining room watching movies and playing card games. They slept great and were competition-ready for each meet day. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. It felt so nice to have such a comfortable place to stay after being out in the heat all day. Also, a bonus for me was the kitchen. Feeding the team was easy to do in the giant kitchen that had all the tools to make the job easy. We will definitely be booking with Harris Properties again.

Wonderful stay at a wonderful property.

This house was perfect for our girls trip to the beach! Lots of space for everyone! Not a far walk to the beach, but it was so nice having the golf carts for hauling beach chairs. The privacy around the pool was also great. I definitely look forward to returning one day.

We had a great time. Thank you!

I was not able to use the FB app or Google but wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had Just Piddling! Room for all, short distance to the beach with golf carts and a pool to boot! Your information was so valuable when I had questions!

This was an overall great house. It was a family vacation and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The swimming pool was very nice. Kids loved it and it wasn’t too far from the beach. I would consider going back there in the future.

This house is extremely well equipped for our group. Every need or requirement we had was met. The house was clean and no maintenance issues spoiled our trip. My brothers commented on their approval of the house on a dozen occasions and making a dozen 60 yr old guys satisfied with an accommodation is mission accomplished. Our group usually stays right on the water but because the house met all of our needs there were few complaints about being a few blocks away.

Great house for a large family. This house is just as advertised. Very clean, lots of room, and well stocked kitchen. We came with a family of 24 and we had a great stay.

We were very happy with it. Thinking about coming again next year.

Beautiful house with lots of space.

When we arrived our code did not work called and it was fixed immediately I have called more than once to office for questions and received some of the BEST customer service ever. The house was amazing had way more than I thought it would the rooms were huge had 4 fridges 2 sets washer dryer( 1 one each floor ) the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and baking ( nothing at house like salt pepper ext) so plan for shopping from scratch but that's why we checked house before shopping the pool was bigger than I thought also the 2 golf carts are amazing 2 blocks from beach we had 24 people and still had room would recommend staying here... short drive into town and the ferry is few minutes down also

Perfect accommodations for our family ages 6-60. Lots of room to plan our busy fun filled days and enjoy our evenings kicking back. Do not know a better layout or rental for kids to be apart of the family but have their own space to watch t.v. do puzzles and crafts. The rooms were ideal each with private baths even the kids rooms had private baths what could be more ideal? Oh wait maybe it was the sparkling warm pool and the ease of the golf carts loading up beach toys… etc The only thing I wish I knew was the no see um bugs that devoured our non repellent spayed skin 3 of us suffered over 50 bites but now we know better as we don’t have those buggers in Chicago the price for paradise I guess? Please let us come back we loved the place!!!

I don’t know where to start. We stayed at Just Piddling this weekend and it’s absolutely gorgeous! I’ve visited places throughout the US and abroad and have never received the customer service that we received this weekend. The issues we had were very minor, but absolutely a big deal to the team at Harris Vacations because they attended to every concern in a quick and professional manner. I’ve already told all of my friends about them. The home was clean, modern and a joy. Thank you Harris Vacations for a wonderful experience.

We stayed at Just Piddling for my daughter’s 18th birthday and it was nothing short of perfection! It has a heated pool in the back perfect for sunrise swims. It also came with two golf carts if we wanted to ride to the beach!!! Super clean and great management company to work with. Thanks for the great memories!
