We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was spotless, the beds were comfortable, the host was responsive and helpful. The decor was beachy but also modern. Very helpful extras included coffee, beach chairs and towels and a wagon to carry everything to the beach. We loved the house and would definitely stay again.

Our family of 5 absolutely loved everything about the Be Happy house. The house was exactly as described and came with everything we needed to be comfortable for 2 weeks. Communication was excellent. We look forward to staying again.

This was probably the most well equipped rental we’ve stayed in, literally had everything we needed and more! House is beautifully decorated, beds were comfy, and plenty of space to spread out and relax. Good sized beach, nice and clean, a bit of a walk to get there but no hills and easy enough with the wagon that was on site. Water was shallow, kids loved walking out to the dock at low tide. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home!

Visited for Memorial Day weekend. Neighborhood is VERY quiet - wouldn’t believe we were a quick walk from the beach with how relaxing it was outdoors. The layout of the home gives space to spread out and enjoy some downtime. Owners very responsive and helpful. Hope to be back again!

As sisters-in-law, we getaway for a weekend every year, and this year chose The Be Happy Beach House in Old Lyme, CT. We were so glad we did! The owners were very friendly and responsive, making for a relaxing and pleasant experience. The house is charmingly decorated, and ideal for relaxing and having long chats. It is also clean, well-stocked, and is just a short walk to the beach.
We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood of lovely, well cared for homes, as well as leisurely walks in the beach. There was plenty to see in Old Lyme, as well as in Old Saybrook.
We all highly recommend The Be Happy Beach House.

We had such a fantastic week staying at the Be Happy Beach House! The cottage was very clean and very spacious! So charming! We loved walking down to the beach every day and heading to Garvin's to get ice cream every day! Great vacation home for a family with children or a weekend getaway with friends.

Lovely stay here with our young family. The short walk to the beautiful private beach was convenient. The well kept backyard was just big enough to have a pass and let the kids get their energy out. The neighborhood was very friendly; something appreciated by a family with energetic little boys.

I would definately recommend! We very much enjoyed our weekend stay. The home is beautifully decorated with cheery beach/coastal decor. It is located on a quaint street that is just a few minutes walk to the beach. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed and the beds and pillows were super comfortable. The owners were super to deal with and very helpful and responsive to answer any questions. It was overall a 5 star stay for our family. :)

Staying here truly felt like home. It was comfortable, cozy, had great decor and it was fully stocked. The neighbors were very friendly and it was close to the most amazing sunsets on beaches with so many shells!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

We enjoyed a very relaxing week with family in this very well equipped cottage located in a delightful neighborhood near the beach in Old Lyme. The cottage has all the tools and amenities you might need for cooking/ sharing meals. There are two TVs as well as games and puzzles. Having two full bathrooms was a plus. Washer and dryer are full size. The beach is a short walk and walking around the neighborhood is a delight.
5.0
We had a wonderful weekend, and that is partially attributed to the fact that our house was wonderful. It was close to a pretty beach, that had lots of shells. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive, and had everything that we needed to know clear and concise. We will definitely keep this house at the top of our list.

The Be Happy house is great - the house was clean upon arrival. We comfortably fit six adults for a week. The beach was close enough to walk to (about a 7 minute walk). We had a great time and will most likely be back next year!

This house has everything you need!
The Be Happy Beach House was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed to enjoy the day at the beach (towels, chairs, umbrella, beach wagon) or to host a family dinner. The neighborhood was beautiful and the people were very friendly.
Loved staying here!

Lovely property with great beach access
This property is just a nice as the photos suggest. It’s pristine and clean, and the decor is so airy and has a perfect beach feel. Even when inside you knew you were at the beach. The kitchen was well appointed, two full baths were modern, and great seating areas inside and out. The private beach is a great size and family oriented. The owners provided helpful info and were easy to communicate with.
We were thrilled with our getaway.

Great quiet spot
Lovely house in a quiet spot near the beach. Very comfortable inside, nice backyard, and good communication from the hosts. The only suggestion I would make is I do think it should be clearer that after you book on VRBO that you'll have to go to a third party site and sign a contract with some stiff enforcement clauses, that was a surprise.

A GREAT BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!
The "Be Happy Beach House" makes living up to its moniker very easy. It is spacious, neat, completely equipped, and a sweet house in a wonderful neighborhood a 6 minute walk from gorgeous beaches. Another 5 minutes gets you to Kokomo for drinks with little umbrellas, mandatory for the Beach Experience. Brad and Hillary were excellent communicators who did everything they needed to to help us settle in immediately, and they knew everything about what to do where in Old Lyme (Brad went to high school there). You will be happy in every way staying here......and we will be back to Old Lyme, Old Saybrook and Mystic again, for sure.

Great beach house
What a great beach house. The home is so beautifully decorated and we lacked nothing for our 3 -day girls weekend. Wonderful neighborhood with beach access. Perfect time of year to get away and relax. We all lives the decor and artsy touches. Hope to visit again next year.
