About this house rental
A coastal/modern style and freshly renovated lakefront bungalow in Carolina Beach with water and marsh views from every room in the house! The home features one king, two queens and a single sized bed, unlimited WiFi, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, ping pong table, dart board, corn hole boards, ring toss, and so much more. The Happy House is sure to live up to its name as it provides activities for the entire family. It is a short 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the main strip. Please Note About Local Smells
Carolina Beach is a beautiful coastal town, but like many seaside areas, it can occasionally have some natural odors. Guests sometimes notice a “rotten egg” smell, which can come from two common sources:
• Water system – The local groundwater naturally contains hydrogen sulfide, which can give tap water a temporary odor, especially in the off-season when pipes and water heaters aren’t used as frequently. Running hot water for a few minutes usually clears it.
• Beach environment – At certain times, decomposing seaweed or organic material along the shoreline can create a sulfur-like smell.
These smells are a normal part of the area and not a reflection of cleanliness or water safety. Most days, guests don’t notice them at all, but I like to share this upfront so you know what to expect.

A beautiful home with views of the lake. The location is perfect with access to the beach. The deck has been thoughtfully gated off to allow your pet to enjoy the outdoors with you and still be safe

The house was incredibly cozy and photos are totally accurate. Easy walk to the beach and into town. Our crew walked/jogged around the path around the lake and the holiday lights were beautiful. Hosts were super responsive. If you’re staying in winter, do pay attention to the part of the ad about the sulfur smell. It was strong and persistent whenever the taps or shower were turned on, even when we ran the water for a while. Otherwise, everything was excellent. We hope to stay again!

We had a great time in the house. We enjoyed the short distance to the beach, close proximity to the boardwalk and restaurants. We appreciated your welcome sign with events and suggestions for all the local hot spots. Kitchen was stocked for cooking dinners. Check in and check out was so easy.
