Our Happy Place did not disappoint! Everything about our stay was perfect - the view, the sound of the ocean, the space, and the amenities! The check-in and check-out process was smooth. The whole experience couldn't have been better!

Perfect location with a nice home away from home. The downstairs large shed with the beach necessities was super convenient for our group. The outdoor shower and chairs were icing on the cake. Everything you need for a convenient vacation at the beach.

Clint was available to answer our questions. It was a wonderful cottage for a family vacation. We had a great time

Loved this property! Quiet and convenient to beach access. Beautiful view, lots of fun things to do at the house. Would love to rent again in the future.

This was the perfect, cozy place for a long weekend getaway. We love being able to travel with our German shepherd, so we very much appreciate being able to bring her. Location was perfect, just steps away from the beach access. Checking in was a breeze and many essentials were provided. We loved sitting out on the screened in porch listening to the waves crashing. We did end up buying beach chairs instead of using the ones provided. They were usable, just very worn down. The couches in the living room also had visible stains, this didn’t bother us too much as we didn’t spend a ton of time there, but we did lay a towel over it. Would definitely stay here again.

Really loved the location and the house was the perfect fit for us. Cozy and clean. Will want to stay here again!

We loved the location. Can relax on the front porch and watch the ocean. Less than a minute walk across the street and you are on the beach.

The house is in a great location being so close to the beach and several restaurants in Surf City and met our needs very nicely for a weekend family getaway! The game room downstairs was perfect for both the kids and adults as it unfortunately rained a lot on the weekend we were there. The house was very comfy stay and we enjoyed our more than expected time inside more due to the comfortable furnishings. Would definitely stay again!

We wanted to visit our son who is stationed at Camp Lejeune and we wanted to make a vacation out of it with our dogs. This little place met all of our expectations. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Me, a friend and my 2 dogs stayed at OUR HAPPY PLACE. And it was definitely our happy place. The house is very well kept, the beds are SUPER comfortable, there is everything you need there. My dogs have never been on vacation and they loved every minute of it. The fenced in yard was perfect size to let them run around on their own for a little while. We were super close to take them for their first ever walk(s) on the beach. I would love to make this a new christmas tradition but it is already booked for next year! :( The view is great and the porch makes it easy to see everything!!! Clint was great and very easy to communicate with via email leading up to the trip and when I had a small issue with check in.

This was our second stay here for New Year's and we had an awesome time once again. The house is perfectly located between the bars and the beach! The downstairs rec room is great for hanging out.

Hi all! We arrived at night, so l didn't see the beach, but l heard it, and smelled it. When the dawn broke, oh my! 😲 What a beautiful sight that greeted me. The beach is awesomely close, and l enjoyed coffee, sitting in the screened porch morning after morning! Even though the weather was 80 degrees and cold and rainy the rest of the time there, my family and l had a terrific time eating and cooking in the spacious dining area. In fact, the home is roomy, inside and out. The place was clean and inviting. I was disappointed in the care and operating state of the bikes when my bother and l tried to ride them...but, very, very nice neighbor across the street and everyone said hello to us. Grocery shopping, eating areas, and good walking nearby. Easy, easy check-in too. The owner was a pleasure to work with. Teachers, you get a discount! 😊 This home is simple, nice, spacious and clean in a quiet, slow neighborhood-that is in the cool and cold months, which have become my new favorite 😀. (thank you for sharing your home with this beach lover!)

The location was perfect. The view is spectacular from all windows in the dining, living, and especially the screened porch area. There is almost no traffic (maybe due to time of year) on the road in front so the kids could safely ride their bikes as well as ride them to the park. They loved the park and its close proximity allowed for many visits. The beach is easy to access and the sound of the ocean was fantastic. Awesome refrigerator space with the upstairs and downstairs fridges. The room with double bunks and a double bed was great for my daughter’s family as the little ones were in close proximity given they were in a strange place. The fenced yard was awesome for the dog and he loved the freedom to go out when he wanted and lay on the deck outside as well. He could also look out the front porch and see all the dogs walking by. The covered area below was highly useful when it rained. Plenty of dishes for the whole family. Many options for pots and pan usage. Lots of seating in the living room and screened porch. When the weather is warmer there were many options for a family to spread out or be together. The was a bar within walking distance for the adults. Charter fishing is available relatively close.

Absolutely wonderful. Perfect from scheduling, arriving and departure. Very sad to leave and looking forward to MANY more stays. Thank you for sharing your home.

Very happy with our stay! First of all, the host was fantastic! There happened to be a tropical storm on check-in day, and Clinton worked with us for modified check-in/ check-out which really helped us enjoy the stay. The fenced in backyard was great for the dog. Beach views / ocean soundtrack and only 3 houses from public beach access. There were a ton of chairs / boogieboards / beach toys to borrow. House was clean and comfy.

"Our Happy Place" is clean, comfortable and well-appointed with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. The proximity to Public Beach Access 6 is an easy walk and the beach was great for our grandson to learn to boogie board and enjoy the waves. The screened front porch provides beautiful views of the ocean sun rise while the fenced back yard and outdoor shower were very convenient (particularly when bringing the dog back from the beach). The size of the house was perfect for our family (4 adults, 1 four year old and 1 dog.

Great place to stay! Awesome screened in porch with view of the ocean. Lots of seating in family room and the porch. And dining table. Great fenced in area for our dogs. Very close to public beach access.

It was my daughters 24th birthday so we just wanted a weekend away at the beach with our family and her to dogs. The location was perfect, very clean great host checking in with us a few times due to the Hurricane. It couldn’t have been any nicer.

We had a wonderful week. Short walk to the beach and playground. Short drive to restaurants, stores and the Ecological Marine Adventure (my son really enjoyed). We could not believe all the sand toys, boogie boards, chairs, bikes, etc. for renters to use. The chairs and bikes were especially appreciated. The screen front porch was our favorite place. There is an amazing breeze and a beautiful view even with the 2 houses in front. Overall, great stay and a wonderful week.

The house was wonderful and the location was perfect for my family! The house also had towels, dishes, bikes and games for the family to use! This is a house we would definitely love to visit again! Highly recommend!!!

Our communication, from the beginning, was clear and open. This held true with follow on arrival instructions. The screened in porch facing the beach is absolute perfection! Best place in the whole house. Kitchen is a breeze to manuver around. Having an extra fridge downstairs is a bonus. There is little to nothing you will want as far as beach gear, no matter your age, and a wagon to get it the very short walk to the beach access point (#6) Linens were there when we arrived and very clearly marked for each bed size including towels and a rag bag (we used the rag bag for the kitchen.) Plenty of extra blankets and pillows too. Plenty of cooking seasonings, plates, utensils, cooking items, and storage items. This really cuts down on what you need to bring (same with linens.) We were very glad to see some dog bowls and a mat (under the sink.) There was even a glass jar of dog treats! Plenty of room in both fridges. The main fridge even makes two kinds of ice. It was almost like they new we were die hard whisky drinkers (ice balls for the win!!) Neighbors were quiet and the beach was less than crowded (Yay OBX!!!) And the beach is clean, of course. Been coming to Topsail since the 80's (we had a family house) and this was our first time in Surf City. This property made the slight move north worth it. The ocen is beautifully viewed from the screened in porch so don't worry about a lack of view. That was not an issue. Hats off to the owners!!!!

This house is such a gem! It was clean, well stocked, comfortable, super close to the beach, and had a lot of conveniences. The fenced yard was great for the pups, outdoor shower was a hit, and the screened front porch was awesome - allows you to still be able to hang outside when it rains. The wagon, extra chairs, and sand toys were also a bonus. Extra fridge in the basement…could go on and on. Clint has thought of everything! He’s a great host. Instructions were clear and he’s accessible if you shall needed. Will definitely return!

We had a great vacation with family and pups! Easy access to beach and everyone loved the screened porch. Having the fenced in back yard was an added bonus for the dogs. The location was great!!

Perfect little beach cottage just steps from the ocean. We will definitely consider returning next year.

We really enjoyed our stay. House was perfect for us. Very clean and stocked with the things we needed for the week. Great views from the front porch! We had an issue with the lock on the front door and the owner couldn’t have been nicer and helped us promptly! We will be back!

House was really well located. Basically oceanfront. Everything you could need was at the house. Bunk room was very convenient for the kids.

The house feels like a home. Not like a sparce vacation rental. It's well laid out, with lots of living space setting, a wonderful table that serves very well for family games. Plenty of everything you could want in a kitchen. For pets it's perfect. A large fenced in space and a screen porch with locking door that allows for lots of freedom for the 4-legged family members. There's a nice ocean view from both sides. The location is great. Not too far from restaurants and shops but away enough to be quiet. The access to the beach is very close. We've stayed in ocean-front houses where the beach access is further from the beach than at this location, just because of the way it sits. The only time I needed to reach out to the owner, I heard back immediately. It turned out to not be an issue at all. We would definitely come here again.

Great price and location!

Wonderful location! Had everything we needed and more. Very spacious rooms and the screened in porch was a plus! Definitely will stay here again.

We enjoyed our trip to Surf City, NC and this property. We brought our 2 year old half lab with us. The property is in a quiet part of town and right across the street from the beach. Access was easy. The property had a couple body boards for the kids to try. The living space was comfortable and relaxing. Kids enjoyed their rooms, especially the bunk bets. Kitchen was clean. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!

It was a blast being back at our old house! Everything was great and couldn’t have asked for a better host!

I am a grandma with my son, daughter-in-law, then another daughter in law with 3 children ages 14,12 and 9. The games on first floor were life savers. We also loved the beach toys. Such great access to the beach! It is literally a few barefoot steps to beach. Everyone agreed it was a great place to stay. We hope to be back soon!
