About this property

BEACH HAPPY Large Beach House with BODACIOUS VIEWS OF OCEAN AND SOUND

2025 was a great year for us and I want to thank all our guest for choosing Beach Happy and taking such good care of the house, we had 100% 5 star guest !!! Avon was first called Kinnakeet, the first settlers were Algonquian Indians, the Post Office in 1883 changed the name to Avon, do not know why! Beach Happy is a semi-ocean front property located on the secluded North End of Avon, NC. Beach Happy offers perfect 360° views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound. The ground level of the property offers covered parking, capable of fitting more than four vehicles under the house. Additionally, the property offers an outdoor shower, fish cleaning table, and park grill on the grounds. Beach Happy is 2 stories, sitting over 20 feet off the ground. The first floor houses four bedrooms, each having access to a full bathroom. The second floor houses the living quarters of the home, providing a kitchen, bar seating, kitchen table, dining table, living room, sitting room, and playroom. Both floors provide wrap around decks, offering views of both the ocean and sound at each level, with ample seating and outdoor furniture on both floors. The playroom is stocked with books and games for children of all ages, including a foosball table. Beach Happy is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, with a beach access ramp only thirty feet from the property. Finally, Beach Happy is situated close to popular wind surfing locations, shopping, restaurants, and other water excursion destinations. Book now! No pets. Check in is 4 PM Check out is 9 AM.

We loved staying at Beach Happy. Very conveniently located to the beach and the attractions of Avon. It was great to be able to see both the sound and ocean from the house. Great spaces for kids to stay entertained. An excellent family beach house. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location, very clean, with fabulous ocean and sound views! Truly just a few steps to the beach access, with a wide, clean beach that was nearly empty during our stay. We also spent plenty of time enjoying the newly refurbished upper deck and new deck chairs. Brenda was helpful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Good family house, location

We enjoyed our stay. The house was a great place for our family with plenty of space for all. Kitchen was well stocked for all types of cooking. The sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. Nice outdoor shower. The outside furniture has been well loved and could use some updates.

Amazing stay at BEACH HAPPY

Second trip staying at this home and great experience both occasions. Perfect house location with grocery and bait shops close while also being central located between north and south beaches. Communication with the host Brenda is always stellar from beginning to end of the trip. Would highly recommend BEACH HAPPY!

Great location!

We loved our stay at Beach happy. Accurate listing and great location. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen, comfy beds and lots of space. Play room was awesome! Cannot beat the walk to the beach. Next time I’d pack extra trash bags, dish soap and toilet paper, but that’s super easy. Brenda was a great host and very helpful. Highly recommend!!!!

We were “Beach Happy!”

First time visiting the Outer Banks. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. Just a short walk to the beach. Owner was quick to respond, very helpful and friendly. The house was as described and clean. We made most of our meals there. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Would definitely return again. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Great week!

This house was perfect for what we were looking for. The house is on the northern side of Avon so it was a quieter part of the beach compared to further down near the pier which is exactly what we hope for when on hatteras. The walk to the beach was easy and close and the house was beautiful and allowed for watching sunsets on the sound from the deck. We will definitely be wanting to stay again in the future. Brenda also was very helpful and available throughout the process! Thank you!

Perfect Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Beach Happy, and a great experience thanks to Brenda! She was able to provide guidance when bad weather came in, and we were able to leave early due to the approaching tropical storm. The only issue I might state was raised nails/screws on deck surfaces made my mama heart worried for my daughter to play outside without shoes. Otherwise, everything was truly perfect, wonderful amenities, quick, easy walk down to the beach, access to shopping, restaurants, and groceries within 5 mins from the house. We definitely plan to visit the area again, and would recommend Beach Happy to anyone looking in the area.

Family Connection

The house and the location were perfect for our needs. The views were outstanding. We enjoyed many sunsets and even a couple sunrises from the decks. Our adult children all joined together for a family vacation, and the house accommodated us beautifully. The living area was spacious and comfortable. Two family members needed to work remotely during the week, and the wi-fi and space were more than enough. The kitchen and eating area allowed multiple people to cook, and there was was plenty of room for family meals and game nights. The beach was just a few steps away and was not crowded at all. Brenda was super friendly and helpful. We hope to return next year!

A Beautiful Experience

I stayed at Beach Happy the week of October 12th through 19th, 2024. The house is beautiful and the pictures on VRBO do not do it justice. I truly felt as if I was a guest in a relative’s house. The decor is perfect, with personal touches that make everything seem special. The kitchen is very well stocked and provided all you would need to prepare food for any size gathering. The refrigerator/freezer pushed out ice 24/7 and is new. The are multiple areas to sit and eat with great views all around. The family room/living area is decorated with some of the most comfortable furniture I have ever sat on. The beds are so comfortable. The bathrooms are updated and are very clean and bright. The beach is very close and probably one of the best beaches in the outer banks. The decks are all around the house and you will have great views of sunrises and sunsets every day. The best aspect of my trip was the communications with the owner, Brenda. She is a star in my book! From helping me when I missed a road getting there, to making sure I was a “Beach Happy” resident every day of my stay, words cannot say enough. Brenda has a personal touch that you do not often receive when you do a rental, whether VRBO, or others. She was essential to my perfect vacation! I hope this review helps others in knowing what a great find this home and Brenda truly are! Thanks, Ron in Virginia

Family Vacation

House was charming and cozy. Check in process was very smooth. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Kitchen very well stocked with everything we needed. The location was just steps from the beach and the views were stunning! Brenda was very responsive beginning the day we booked the vacation until we left. Wish we could have stayed another week. We’re looking forward to returning next year!!
