Stay Happy as a Clam – Your Coastal Escape in Carolina Beach!

Welcome to Happy as a Clam, your ideal beach getaway with all the comforts of home! With the beach just down the street, you'll spend your days in the sand and sea on the Carolina Beach shoreline, enjoying sunrise walks, lazy afternoons, and endless ocean breezes.

The home has a private, fenced-in backyard with seating for the whole family to gather while grilling out or getting in a game of corn hole. There is also an open space with grass. On the side of the house, you'll find an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.

We also have an elevator which is helpful after a long day at the beach or bringing in your suitcases!

This home is part of a duplex, and we’re proud to host both sides! If you're traveling with a big family or a group of friends, it's the perfect setup—book the sister unit "Avalanched to the Sea" too and enjoy being close while still having your own space.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave, and housekeeping is provided on request.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as concierge services and barbecue grills.
Featured amenities include laundry facilities and an elevator.

Very impressed and grateful to be hosted by Lynne. She even graciously shipped my group back a few items we left at this home. We enjoyed being able to take a short walk straight to the beach!
