Repetition of "de"
In Chinese, do you have to repeat "de" twice when translating phrases like "my mother has a beautiful house"

那不會是大問題,甚至完全省略也沒關係;量詞的使用比較怪 ˊˇˋ
That will not be a big problem even to omit all of 的; nevertheless the counter word related to house could be 間 or 棟.
我媽有棟漂亮房子
我媽有間漂亮房子
我媽媽有間漂亮房子
我媽媽有間漂亮的房子
我的媽媽有間漂亮房子
我的媽媽有間漂亮的房子
Hope this won't make you more confused... ^_^

第一个"的"在口语中会被完全省略的,有的时候书面语也会省略它。

I'll let someone more qualified give you the definitive answer, but in my experience the first 的 in that structure is often dropped when people are speaking, so 我媽媽有一個漂亮的房子...
