About this property

Incredible Water Views on Carolina Beach - The Happy House

  • A coastal/modern style and freshly renovated lakefront bungalow in Carolina Beach with water and marsh views from every room in the house! The home features one king, two queens and a single sized bed, unlimited WiFi, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, ping pong table, dart board, corn hole boards, ring toss, and so much more. The Happy House is sure to live up to its name as it provides activities for the entire family. It is a short 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the main strip. Please Note About Local Smells
    Carolina Beach is a beautiful coastal town, but like many seaside areas, it can occasionally have some natural odors. Guests sometimes notice a “rotten egg” smell, which can come from two common sources:
    • Water system – The local groundwater naturally contains hydrogen sulfide, which can give tap water a temporary odor, especially in the off-season when pipes and water heaters aren’t used as frequently. Running hot water for a few minutes usually clears it.
    • Beach environment – At certain times, decomposing seaweed or organic material along the shoreline can create a sulfur-like smell.

    These smells are a normal part of the area and not a reflection of cleanliness or water safety. Most days, guests don’t notice them at all, but I like to share this upfront so you know what to expect.

Quick spring break getaway

Great location! Enjoyed walking the path around the lake and hanging out on the front porch. Easy walk to beach. Loved that beds were made and towels supplied. Since we could only stay a couple nights, nice not to have those chores on vacation.

Week by the beach

The property is beautiful, quiet and it is a short walk to the beach. The lake provides a great view and is surrounded by a walking path, which our dog enjoyed. Coffee shops and restaurants are within walking distance. The home is as the pictures show. Beds and couch were comfortable.

Happy Stay at the Happy House

The house was as pictured and you couldn’t ask for a better location. It was difficult getting to the paddle boards because of the weeds, that is the only complaint. The landscape needs a little TLC other than that it definitely is a happy house, they have everything you need. My family loved the porch and beautiful lake view.

Family friendly house

Carolina Beach is definitely a family friendly beach town. They offer weekly concerts, markets, and fireworks. And this house is located on a quiet street next to a small lake that has a really nice playground, paddleboat rentals, and a child themed walking path. And the beach is close and easy to get to. Just watch when crossing streets as people don't often yield for walkers.

Weekend getaway

I booked this house for a weekend getaway for my family before my children return to school as a last summer vacation. We were able to see family while visiting also since we were fairly close to them which was nice. The home is very nice. We did not realize there was an outdoor shower until the day after check in. My only suggestion is to mention that on the welcome book so guests don’t track a lot of sand into the home. Being within walking distance of the beach, boardwalk, and lots of restaurants was great! We arrived about 30 minutes early so I contacted the host to see if we could enter the home a little early and she was quick to respond. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for sharing your beautiful lake front beach home with my family and I!

Great place to stay in Carolina Beach! Perfect quiet spot for a family of 5 with older 3 teens. “Happy” is a great name. Great well stocked kitchen, nice bathrooms with plenty of towels, comfy beds and lovely outdoor seating on porch. The location has an easy walk to beach, veggie wagon for delicious treats, restaurants and community lake is a sweet little place to enjoy. Thank you for renting your home to us.No worries on this but the ping pong table did not have a net so that was not an amenity. But there was plenty to enjoy!
