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!
Great stay! The location was convenient and the home itself was clean and very cute. It wasn’t ideal to need to call to receive the door lock, but that’s a very small item.
This place is truly perfect for what I wanted and needed. This was a bucket list trip for my dog, Jude. It is centrally located and is in a nice, quiet area. We did come off season, but I really enjoyed my time here. This house is clean & well stocked for what you need. If you need anything else, there’s plenty of stores in the area. I loved the yard for my dog. The front and back patio areas were both very nice. Plenty of room for a couple and a dog. The front patio has a gate so you can close the area off for your dog to roam freely. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend.
