Excellent location, very clean, with fabulous ocean and sound views! Truly just a few steps to the beach access, with a wide, clean beach that was nearly empty during our stay. We also spent plenty of time enjoying the newly refurbished upper deck and new deck chairs. Brenda was helpful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation

House was charming and cozy. Check in process was very smooth. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Kitchen very well stocked with everything we needed. The location was just steps from the beach and the views were stunning! Brenda was very responsive beginning the day we booked the vacation until we left. Wish we could have stayed another week. We’re looking forward to returning next year!!

Good family house, location

We enjoyed our stay. The house was a great place for our family with plenty of space for all. Kitchen was well stocked for all types of cooking. The sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. Nice outdoor shower. The outside furniture has been well loved and could use some updates.

Best birthday present

I spent 2 weeks at Beach Happy, celebrating my 50th birthday with some close friends. It was a fantastic experience! The house was equipped with any and every thing we wanted or needed during our stay. This was my second time staying at this property, and I have every intention of spending my next OBX trip Beach Happy!

Loved the location! House was very clean throughout when we arrived. Brenda was very easy to communicate with and very prompt in replying when we had a question. We especially liked the very comfortable couches and all of the interesting places to sit in the house. Great views of the ocean and the sound. Convenient walk to either one.
