great and easy for travelers with dogs with fenced yard. plenty of comfortable seating indoors and out. great response from host if neededperfect location.
The view of the ocean from the property was incredible. It was clean and very comfortable for our group. The owner communicated promptly. Would highly recommend! One of the top properties that we have stayed at on the beach.
Loved our stay at Our Happy Place!! The beach view and access were amazing!! The front porch is so relaxing!! This is a beautiful vacation destination!!
We love this house! It’s perfect for our family and pets. It’s literally steps away from the beach and has everything we need. Clinton is the best host!
I cannot say enough of how great the time at Our Happy Place is! Great location, very accommodating with pets, and the host is absolutely amazing. As a Realtor I am able to work and enjoy the ocean, local shops, gym nearly and have some fun while still working. What an amazing getaway and I would highly recommend this adorable cottage house! With the fenced in backyard, screened in porch, it’s great for my dogs.I will be booking again & plan on many more stays here to make great memories!
Our stay was terrific. The home was clean and inviting, and had plenty of space for puzzles and games. Many games and books were available in the living room. The front porch is the perfect spot to read, visit, or watch the surf. And there were many spots available in the backyard as well as in the carport to lounge and relax. Just around the corner from restaurants and shops, too!
Our happy place was exceptional! Ideal location, comfortable, clean, and plenty to do for the kids. I highly recommend this stay and hope to come again.
We had a great stay at My Happy Place. Great location, close to the beach. We could see and hear the ocean from the house. The house had everything we needed and more. The bedrooms were very nice, the master bath was very small but worked well for us. The screened in porch was one of our favorite spots to sit. There was a fenced in yard in back for the dog. I would highly recommend this house for you next visit to Top Sail, N.C.
Have stayed here multiple times and enjoy it tremendously. All the amenities, fantastic location, and easy engagement with the owner. Highly recommend.
LOVE this property. The view from the front porch is “ocean front”. Plenty of seating on the front and back porches, under the front porch (with hammock) and in back yard. The outdoor seating provided shade. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog to romp and play. The “play room” under the house was amazing! Game tables, outdoor games, beach toys galore, bicycles!!! New washer and dryer! There was a hose near the steps to rinse off sandy feet and sandy dogs! And a small tray by the front door was great to dip little feet before going inside. The linens smelled fresh! We loved the bunk bed “kids room” and so did the kids! Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room and kitchen. Loved the large shower in the hall bathroom! Just can’t say enough wonderful things about this property.
Great location, clean house, beautiful ocean views! Couldn’t have had a better week! Communication with host was excellent! Can’t wait to go back!
