It provided all we needed so we could enjoy meals, games, and outdoor time. We would recommend it for anybody that wants a private and quiet trip surrounded by all a beach has to offer. ##### Valerie A. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie H. 17 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very comfortable My family really enjoyed our stay at the Happy shack. It was nice to be in between the bay in the ocean. The home was as described, clean, comfortable and very cute. Fully equipped kitchen! We did a lot of cooking! Owners are great to work with, very responsive. We are already planning our next visit. ##### Jamie H.
