A Bright and Breezy Getaway
At The Happy Place, comfort and convenience come together in a space designed for making memories. This single-level retreat features an open-concept living area where sunlight streams across beautiful hardwood floors, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Ceiling fans keep the breeze flowing as you settle into the plush couch and chairs, the perfect spot to gather for conversation or enjoy a movie night on the Smart TV with premium cable, including HBO and Showtime.
The fully equipped kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts to seafood feasts. It has stone countertops, a dishwasher, and barstool seating for 3 at the island. Whip up a hearty pancake breakfast before heading to the beach or prepare a creamy seafood pasta loaded with fresh shrimp and scallops to enjoy after a full day of fun.
When it’s time to get outside, slide open the glass doors and step onto the porch, where lounge chairs invite you to relax in the fresh air. A picnic table offers a great spot for morning coffee, board games or dinner under the stars.
With a washer and dryer conveniently included, keeping up with swimsuits and beach towels is easy. Whether you’re unwinding inside or embracing the outdoor living space, The Happy Place makes every moment of your coastal vacation effortless.
Sweet Dreams and Sunny Mornings
After a day of ocean air and sunshine, nothing beats a restful night in one of The Happy Place’s 3 coastal-inspired bedrooms. Designed for comfort and relaxation, each spacious retreat invites you to unwind and wake refreshed, ready for another memorable beach day.
The primary bedroom is a dreamy space, offering ample room to stretch out on a plush, comfortable king-sized bed with soft bedding. Another room boasting a queen-sized bed is just as inviting, with soothing décor that brings a sense of serenity after a day spent by the sea. For the little adventurers, the charming final bedroom offers two sets of bunk beds, a TV and a cheerful Finding Nemo pillow that kids will love.
With 2 full bathrooms, getting ready for the day (or winding down from it) is effortless. One bathroom even has a bathtub that will surely be claimed for a relaxing soak after a long day of beach fun. From soft sheets to coastal designs, every bedroom is made for relaxation so you can sleep easily.
Ocean Adventures and Poolside Perfection
With the beach nearby, every day at The Happy Place begins with the promise of soft sand and rolling waves. Spend your mornings collecting seashells, building sandcastles or jumping into the waves for a refreshing swim. Whether you’re up for a game of beach volleyball, learning to boogie board or simply stretching out under an umbrella with a good book, the coast is yours to enjoy.
When it’s time for a break, head back to your vacation rental to fire up the gas grill for a laid-back lunch by the pool. Cool off with a swim, challenge the family to a game of Marco Polo or kick back in a lounge chair and soak up the afternoon sun.
Beyond the beach, Emerald Isle is full of ways to make the most of your time outdoors. Paddle along the peaceful waters of Bogue Sound by kayak or paddleboard or cast a line at Bogue Inlet Pier and reel in your next big catch. Bike through town and explore charming coastal shops or plan a day trip to Fort Macon State Park for a dose of history with a scenic oceanfront backdrop.
If marine life fascinates you, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is a must-visit, where you can get up close with sea turtles, stingrays, and even sharks. Whether you’re chasing adventure or embracing relaxation, The Happy Place puts you in the perfect spot to experience it all.
