Our adorable and funky abode sits just a 3 minute walk/200 steps (1 block) to the gorgeous sugar sands of Sunset Beach.

Caddy’s on the Beach is the perfect place to grab a drink or meal, with live music. You also have to walk over to Ka’ Tiki, a true old FLORIDA GEM with live music, 7 days a week! Don’t forget to order the $3 cheeseburger (a local secret and not on the menu).

As soon as you pull into the Happy Shack, you will be all smiles as vacation mode sets in. Step inside the light and airy living room, complete with vaulted beautiful exposed wood-beamed ceilings, archways and tons of natural light. The stunning stained glass front door greets you as you enter this storybook oasis with hand painted walls & cabinetry.
It is such a comfortable space w couch and retro conversational chairs and large tv (streaming only/no satellite).

Why do they call it the Happy Shack

Well, they wanted a beach place that made them
Happy. What makes us happy Bright colors, nostalgia and relaxed, restful, stress-free vibe.

They have added some fun touches that will bring you back in time. The full kitchen is as fun and funky as it gets with colorful tile and a 1970’s Brady Bunch-era breakfast nook.

Marvel at the mustard yellow old school phone mounted on the wall (no it doesn’t work but it makes a darn cute Instagram photo #happyshacksunsetbeach) and other nostalgic items the owner has placed here.

The bedroom is comfortable (no it’s not a huge bedroom) with a queen size mattress, two dressers and a cedar-lined walk-in closet. Plenty of room to hang up those bathing suits! Lol

The small full bath is classic and just perfect with black and white penny-tile floor and pedestal sink, vintage powder blue walled tile adds to the fun!

Now the REAL TREAT is when you step outside from the kitchen, under the tiki breezeway. A massive PIT BOSS GRILL, complete with pellet smoker and griddle. Yum! They got this big grill bc the range in the kitchen is on the small side (not as small as an Easy Bake Oven-but close)!

The tiki bar and stools and yes, the washer and dryer are right there, outside (but don’t worry, it is under cover). Just think about it! Your laundry is no longer a chore when you are relaxed with a drink in hand. I


Beach chairs avail for use.

This VERY quiet street is perfect for couples and families. Publix is a mere 5 minute drive along with many restaurants and shops. Check out Corey Ave and the small downtown area! It’s so cute!

And now for the annoying rules.
(I know. I know) Insert eye roll.
Hey, just remember what your grandma taught you! :)

Be a kind, respectful, truthful human being.

ZERO TOLERANCE RULES IN PLACE!
If the rules are broken, You will be immediately evicted and your reservation will be cancelled and be subject to no refund

We know that you are on vacation and everybody wants to have fun, but please know that although there are fun restaurants and bars, this is truly a quiet community and the home has had to (unfortunately) implement strict rules.

So now you know.......it is not a “party house”.
No bachelor parties, no bachelorette parties, wedding ceremonies or anything else that will draw a crowd and make the neighbors cranky.

It may look and feel like a party house bc, well, the owners are super fun, but they know they need to (and they promised to) respect their neighbors.

Don’t break the rules or their stuff.

Don’t invite everyone and their brother to park here to go to the beach (parking is a real issue for the neighbors), don’t trash the place, and please absolutely no smoking in, around or on top of the property.

Basically, all they are asking is to be a kind, descent and polite human being. Treat this house as if it were your own. You know, clean up after yourself.

The home fits a MAX of 2 adults with one queen bed.I Know....it’s tempting to shove and hide as many people in there as possible to cut the cost, but the owners will end up finding out (they are good friends with the neighbors) and that would be a real bummer for you.

Parking accommodates a max of 2 vehicles. Not 3,4,5 or 20 cars, motorcycles, RV’s....you get the picture.

We ask that our renters respect the owners’ dear neighbors and good friends with abiding by the rules, the 4-person maximum capacity, 2 vehicles, reduced noise levels, no parties and mandatory 10 pm noise ordinance. So you need to shut it down after 10pm.

Owner lives nearby and receives reports if guests are rude, unruly, loud, disrespectful and if the maximum capacity rule is broken.


ZERO TOLERANCE RULES IN PLACE!
If the rules are broken, You will be immediately evicted and your reservation will be cancelled and be subject to no refund and a $500 fine per person.

    Great location! Quiet neighborhood and only a block to the beach where you’ll find the action, if you’re looking for it; a couple good places for cocktails and food right on the beach and others within walking/biking distance or a very short drive. We rode bikes everywhere. So much to do in the surrounding St. Pete/Clearwater areas, as well as Tarpon Springs and more. Natalie and Eric have created an adorable place with a fun vibe everywhere you look! Sunset Beach is beautiful and the sunsets are stunning. The neighbors are great and we appreciated their quiet, laid back lifestyle. We fit right in! We will be back next year. Thanks Natalie and Eric, for sharing this your Happy Shack gem with us!

    This was the perfect place for my family and I to stay. I was traveling with my husband and two children (7 and 4). The house was clean and there was a ton of amenities included. My kids loved the playroom. I enjoyed the outdoor area. It was just a block away from the beach and had two beach bars/restaurants nearby. The hosts thought of every possible to detail to make their guests as comfortable as possible. They respond quickly to any and all questions.

    The Happy Shack was perfect for us (couple and our 7-year-old daughter) for a week stay. We loved the two-minute walk to the beach. Natalie and Eric are great hosts and responded quickly to our questions. The Happy Shack was clean and comfortable and made our stay in the area that much better. Thank you, Natalie and Eric, for a great vacation!

    This place was well beyond my expectations. The house itself had more to offer than we could even imagine (it felt like I was at my house). The walk to the beach was so short and sweet! The owners were available when we had questions and were more than happy to make sure we were taken care of. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE I KNOW!!!

    Absolutely the most relaxing vacation ever! The owners have literally thought of everything you would possibly need! The neighborhood was so very quiet and everybody we met, from local fishermen to local homeowners, were so very nice! We felt safe and at home through our entire stay. The pictures online don’t even do it justice. From the amazingly thought out decor and extras to the beach being so close, we cannot wait to come back!

    The hosts were wonderful and easy to get ahold of from the minute I booked and all throughout our stay and quickly responded to any question I had no matter how small. Everything we needed was there and I loved all of the LED lights on the patio lighting up our night! Pictures are spot on of the place but the amount of beach accessories and extras is above and beyond! My kids were mesmerized by all of the “vintage” toys. We sat on the patio and played some of the games on days we just wanted to relax. We took the paddle board out one day and used the wagon to tote the chairs and umbrellas and cooler to the beach. My husband loved riding the bike provided and we all loved to walk to Caddy’s for dinner and (drinks for mommy and daddy). Would definitely recommend this place for a family our size (2 parents and 2 kids) or for a couple or even 2 couples!

    We loved our stay at the Happy Shack. The home is well stocked (especially with beach gear!!) and the owners even purchased us a pack and play to use for our baby. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space, so we had a place to hang out after our daughter went to bed. This place is ideal for a couple or family with small children. It is about a 3 minute walk to the beach, but far enough away to be out of the chaos.
