3045 Happy Days * 200ft to Beach
'Happy Days' Start Here Situated right across the street from the wide sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, Happy Days is a stunning 7-Bedroom, 7.5-Bathroom oceanside vacation rental home in the town of Southern Shores. When you spend your vacation at Happy Days, you'll have access to a variety of on-site amenities that provide a resort-like feel with the privacy, peace, and quiet that come with staying in a private residence. The spacious backyard features a large Private Pool* (with optional pool heat) surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs, as well as a warm, bubbly Hot Tub just steps away. (Additional fee for pool heat in accordance with pool service dates. Please request this one week prior to your arrival). And with the pristine beaches of Southern Shores sitting just 390 feet away with a community walkway over the sand dunes that begins just one house away, you'll be happy throughout your entire Outer Banks vacation.
Enter in through the Ground Floor of this beautiful home and you'll find two gorgeous bedrooms that are perfect for getting everyone settled, especially when they want quick access to the Pool! Relax in the Ground-Level King Master Bedroom with its own TV and Private Bathroom and get the kids settled in nearby in the Master Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds. Step outside onto the Deck when you're ready to enjoy time in the large Private Pool* or the warm, bubbly Hot Tub where you can unwind after a fun day of surf and sand before rinsing off in the Outdoor Shower and getting ready for an evening of family time and total comfort.
On the Split Mid-Levels, you'll find easy access to everything you need for a spectacular vacation. Toss those sandy bathing suits and wet towels in the conveniently-located Laundry Area for quick and easy mid-week cleanups. While you're waiting for those towels to dry, why not relax in the Media Room with cozy couches and a large Flat Screen TV? This room is ideal for those moments when you just need to get away and find some peace and quiet or to catch up on emails while you're away from work. Work off some steam in the Game Room where you can challenge your family to some friendly competition over a game on the Pool Table before grabbing a delicious snack or drink from the Full-Sized Refrigerator nearby. When it's time to rest, head to the King Master Bedroom or your choice of the 2 Queen Master Bedrooms, each with TVs so everyone can watch what they like as they rest up for another day of exciting adventures on the Outer Banks.
When you're ready to have even more fun as a family while taking in the beautiful views of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, head on upstairs to the Top Level where you can spread out in the large Living Area with unbelievable cathedral ceilings and a large, Flat Screen TV that's perfect for settling down for family movie night. Whip up some amazing, local seafood in the beautiful, well-appointed Kitchen for everyone to enjoy in the Dining Area. Settle down at the large table, which has seating for 8, the nearby round table, with seating for 4, at the Breakfast Bar, which boasts seating for 4 more. In the morning, head on through the sliding glass doors in the Living Area and enjoy your coffee on the Furnished Deck where you can enjoy the sunrise over the ocean, waking up with the world as you let the smell of the sea wash over you. There's also a small covered patio on the backside of the deck, so you can enjoy your meals outside in the peace and quiet of an Outer Books afternoon in the shade. And be sure to whip up some fresh, local seafood on the Gas Grill!

Spring Break
Happy Days is cute but I didn’t realize how the burrs seem to be an issue for my little Corgi. I guess there is not much that can be done but I did fear that I was dragging them into the house too. It had a pretty good view, nice deck but no garbage disposal which was a tad unexpected. It was good for my son and his college buddy to have fun for their Spring Break.
