Happy Clam Casa Oceanfront Beach House w/Private GuestHouse

Pros: the sand right out the back door was awesome, a big hit with the kids. Linens were comfortable, plenty of bath towels, beautiful sunset views. Lots of board games, nice living room to gather, big dining table. Beautiful beach! Outdoor shower for sand. Cons: not very clean at checkin. Lots of sand, dust, cob webs, smudges on walls / furniture, and stains (on the bath towels and the sheets / pillow cases). There was a left behind item of clothing from the last guests, so not tidied very thoroughly. Temperature control and lighting were lacking; no AC, and only one ceiling fan in the living room (not in any bedrooms), nor were there any plugin fans. It says remodeled in the listing but perhaps hasn’t been updated in a while - even the pictures were a bit different than our experience. There were no smoke detectors. Iffy hot water from showers. Like most homes on the beach, the patio furniture was very worn out and in need of replacing, walls needed a touch up, def a home ready for some tlc. There are a few things that could have made the stay more seamless: if they provided tissues and extra trash bags, guest beach towels, having digital locks, cushions on the patio or an updated patio area. The layout is a little odd - sort of confusing with the parking, garage, little garage apartment, etc). FYI that cars can drive on this beach so you can’t easily set up chairs on the sand all day as there are trucks driving through. Sand in front of house is great though!

We had a truly wonderful experience with our host. During our stay, we accidentally left behind a wallet, and the host went above and beyond to help us recover it. Not only did they promptly locate it, but they also kindly arranged to have it shipped back to us.We are incredibly grateful for their honesty, responsibility, and exceptional kindness. It’s rare to encounter someone so thoughtful and trustworthy. This level of care made a lasting impression on us.Highly recommend this host to anyone — you will be in great hands!

The view and access to beach was great. Place had everything you might need.

The house is very comfortable and right on the beach, stepping from the deck right onto the sand. Beautiful sunsets both nights!

Amazing view and location

Amazing older home right on the sand! We spent much of our time on the porch area, as it's very large and faces the ocean.

Beautiful beachfront home, with a cute separate apartment on property. The views from the living areas of the home are stunning. The kitchen is updated and well equipped. The hosts are very responsive.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy Clam Casa, the house is in a perfect location, was very clean, and the host responded in a timely manner. We look forward to staying here again!

all good!

Celebrating my 50th bday with a few friends. The house was up to my standards clean. Communication via property owners was friendly and prompt. There’s nothing like enjoying a fire with waves crashing a few feet away. There are multiple good places to eat within a 5 minute walk. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

This property was immaculately clean and the kitchen well equipped. However, we couldn’t see the beach or access the beach due to a giant sand dune next to unit. The great room had large windows, as pictured, but only a view of a dune feet from the house. The “guest house” was dark, with shag carpet and narrow steep stairs between the upstairs bedroom and downstairs bathroom. There was an overpowering smell of air fresheners that we removed and then tried to air out the house. After clicking on the VRBO agreement, which committed us to the payment, we were later sent an 8 page contract by the owner which we feel we should have been shown before we made a financial commitment as, had we seen it initially, we might have selected a different property.

The location of the house is stunning and the house offers a lot - its a great place to stay at. With two adults and five teenagers it gets a bit crowded though as the standard setting of chairs and beds is for six. However we enjoyed our short stay at the beachhouse a lot, only afterwards when we found our insurance was to be used for a stain that was already there upon our arrival we found it slightly clouded. However I can recommend the wonderful dunes a lot! I was

We had a great time. Fun to watch the parade of vehicles on the beach with a fire in the pit. Everything was as expected except that we were disappointed that the master shower had not been repaired. Thank you Sal and Eva. Best Mark and Carol
