Great time

We had a great time. The house has absolutely everything you need. 4 adults and 2 kids - there is plenty of space to spend time inside on a rainy day. Nice deck and outdoor shower in a backyard. There is also a front porch with comfy Adirondack chairs. House is very clean and beds are comfortable. Short walk to a beautiful beach and a great neighborhood. Communication with Hillary and Brad was great, friendly and prompt. We would highly recommend this house

This place is perfect!

We had such a fantastic week staying at the Be Happy Beach House! The cottage was very clean and very spacious! So charming! We loved walking down to the beach every day and heading to Garvin's to get ice cream every day! Great vacation home for a family with children or a weekend getaway with friends.

Great place for the family

Lovely stay here with our young family. The short walk to the beautiful private beach was convenient. The well kept backyard was just big enough to have a pass and let the kids get their energy out. The neighborhood was very friendly; something appreciated by a family with energetic little boys.

Lovely stay at the Be Happy Beach House!

I would definately recommend! We very much enjoyed our weekend stay. The home is beautifully decorated with cheery beach/coastal decor. It is located on a quaint street that is just a few minutes walk to the beach. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed and the beds and pillows were super comfortable. The owners were super to deal with and very helpful and responsive to answer any questions. It was overall a 5 star stay for our family. :)

About the host

Hosted by Brad and Hillary

Brad grew up in Old Lyme and spent many summers on the beaches in this area. Hawk's Nest has a New England beach charm that is hard to find anywhere else. Families and children have come to the area for generations -- one trip to the shoreline and you'll see why it's a beloved family 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

We purchased this home to allow our children an opportunity to experience the unique environment that Hawk's Nest has for families and children.

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!
