    October is our favorite time at the beach. We usually pick a different dog friendly place each year. Clint's place is now our favorite and we haven't stayed anywhere that we liked better than Our Happy Place. The view is just as good as ocean front. The screened in porch is where we stayed most of the time. All the beds were comfortable and the living room furniture was comfortable as well. The beach access was really close by. This place has everything we needed and more. We are already planning our next trip here. Thanks Clint for being the best host ever!!

    The house was in a perfect location. It was clean but could use some TLC. The bathroom off the master is the tiniest I’ve ever seen and I wasn’t comfortable in the shower, but I was able to use the nice big shower in the other bathroom. The owner was so easy to communicate with.

    This was our 2nd stay at this property and we absolutely love the location, beach, and Surf City vibe. Enjoying our morning coffee while watching the sunrise from the beach or front porch is the perfect start to the day. The beach and ocean are easily accessed and perfect for families. The kitchen and grilling amemities made eating in a breeze. Access to the fenced in back yard is a big plus for those of us that travel with our fur baby. The host is very accommodating and his communications are prompt. We thoroughly enjoy vacationing at Our Happy Place!

    Everything was as advertised. It truly is a happy place. The views of the water can’t be beat! The beach is so much better than public surf city beach, much nicer sand and not crowded. Easy walk caddy corner from the home.The home has everything you could need, including beach chairs, boggie boards and sand toys. The table games were a hit too. Our dogs loved the fenced yard.Clint was a pleasure to work with. Definitely a 5 star stay! We’ll be back!

    This was our second stay at Our Happy Place. We had such a great time spending Christmas at Clint’s place. Check in was a breeze and he was so flexible on checking in early and checking out late. We spent the majority of our time on the front deck that overlooks the ocean. The kitchen is fully stocked, beds are comfy and the backyard is a plus! Will definitely be booking again :)

    We got together with our daughter and SIL Staff Sgt Hutton USAF to have a family outing before he transfers out to Las Vegas, NV. We got to spend quality time with our granddaughter Embry Rae! This place was spot on from the listing and Mr. Clint kept us informed from our booking to arrival! The weather was a little on the chilly side but a chilly day at the beach is better than any day at work! Definitely recommend Our Happy Place, we loved it!
