Stay Happy as a Clam – Your Coastal Escape in Carolina Beach!
Welcome to Happy as a Clam, your ideal beach getaway with all the comforts of home! With the beach just down the street, you'll spend your days in the sand and sea on the Carolina Beach shoreline, enjoying sunrise walks, lazy afternoons, and endless ocean breezes.
The home has a private, fenced-in backyard with seating for the whole family to gather while grilling out or getting in a game of corn hole. There is also an open space with grass. On the side of the house, you'll find an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.
We also have an elevator which is helpful after a long day at the beach or bringing in your suitcases!
This home is part of a duplex, and we’re proud to host both sides! If you're traveling with a big family or a group of friends, it's the perfect setup—book the sister unit "Avalanched to the Sea" too and enjoy being close while still having your own space.

About the host
Hosted by Lynne D'Eramo
Hi! I’m originally from Fairfield County, Connecticut, and now based in beautiful coastal North Carolina. I started my company as a personal concierge and lifestyle service, and while we’ve expanded into vacation rental management, that same level of personalized, white-glove service is still at the heart of everything we do.
I love hosting because it combines all the things I enjoy—thoughtful design, great hospitality, and helping people feel relaxed and cared for.
When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my two dogs or catching up with my family and friends or traveling!
Whether you're here for a beach getaway, a family trip, or just a change of scenery, I’m here to make sure you feel right at home. Welcome to Happy as a Clam!
