This is such a peaceful little place to stay, and it's well situated with a walkable distance to the beach. The hosts were responsive, quick and helpful. This was the first Vrbo rental we have stayed at, and it was a wonderful first experience.

The Happy Hut was a great stay while vacationing. The home was clean and had everything we needed. It was a wonderful place for our dog with the fenced backyard and with the option to lock the front deck. The location is great and close to the beach, stores, and restaurants. We would love to stay again and highly recommend!
