About this property
Be Happy Beach House is a five minute walk from Hawk's Nest Beach!
New England beach house charm meets modern comfort and convenience! The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you might need to cook at home, including a gas range, Instant Pot, and Keurig. Warm summer evenings invite cookouts on the grill and meals on the patio. With access to the private Hawk's Nest Beach just a five minute walk away, you'll be able to soak up the sun from a lounge chair, swim in the gentle waves of the Long Island Sound and search for seashells along a private and pristine section of shoreline in Old Lyme.
Rinse the sand off in the backyard outdoor shower, share family meals on the spacious deck and wave to neighbors from the Adirondack chairs on the front porch. Lasting memories are just waiting to be made at Be Happy!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Brad and Hillary

Brad grew up on the Connecticut shoreline and met Hillary soon after college (go Huskies!). They love bringing their young family back to enjoy the beauty of the Long Island Sound during all seasons of the year -- summertime is always a favorite, but the serenity of the wintertime beaches draws them back time and time again! Hawk's Nest has drawn families to the area for generations -- one trip to the shoreline and you'll see why it's a beloved destination. You'll see kids playing wiffleball on the sand, swimming to the swim dock and heading to Garvin's Store for a slushie!
Why they chose this property
From the moment you step into the Be Happy Beach House, you'll be surrounded by things that just...well, make you happy! Well-equipped with all the comforts of home, including a comfy queen bed in the primary bedroom, two patio areas, an outdoor shower, and everything you'll need to keep your group well-fed and entertained! Stroll down the flat street to reach the beach in just minutes. The activities in Old Lyme are endless, from running and hiking trails to wineries and breweries just a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
At the Be Happy Beach House, you're just a short walk away from a private beach. You'll also have access to a beautiful home with an outdoor shower, nice deck to entertain, a backyard for the kids to play and central AC for those hot summer days!
