You can't get any closer to the beach than Happy House 1, an oceanfront duplex condo with a brand new boardwalk installed in 2019. This absolutely gorgeous condo has been updated from top to bottom with high-end finishes, including refinished hardwood floors, custom tilework, hand-painted murals, granite countertops, lovely furnishings, and beautiful appliances. 2023 renovations include newly-paneled walls with fresh paint, new curtains, and high-end decor. You'll feel completely at home with luxuries such as free WiFi, TVs in the living room and every bedroom, a DVD player, and a private washer/dryer. Best of all, you can gaze out upon the ocean from the primary bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room. Open the French doors and extend the living space to relax on the private balcony and watch the waves crash on the shore.

Comfortable and convenient, this property offers you the best of both worlds - a quiet North Ocean City setting but with all of the fun and excitement right at your fingertips. Many great shops, activities, and restaurants are within walking distance, including Lost Treasure Golf, Sun & Surf Cinema, and the Fenwick Island Lighthouse. Enjoy direct beach access, an outdoor shower, and private parking for two cars at no cost.

The top floor of the building, Happy House 2, is available to rent as well

Great location - missing items
Location was wonderful. Missing coffee pot and not replaced until next evening. Had to spend $50 on coffee that was never reimbursed even though the listing said it had a coffee pot. We were on the bottom floor and the people above us were extremely loud when walking around. The house at times was shaking. There is mold everywhere and the place was not clean. Would not return.

Happiness at the Happy House 1
A little small for our group of 10 plus infant. Floors & showers could be cleaner, mold around base of shower doors. We made the best of it & had a good time. Short walk to beach was nice!

Very nice place for a family vacation.
The place was great overall. Plenty of space for our family - we had 4 adults and 4 kids ages 2-8. The location was excellent. Walking off the back deck and being in the sand was great. The only complaint was the doors to the deck did not function easily. There are directions on the door, but they would not lock properly. We were there during a pretty bad storm and two of the doors actually blew open. The roof was leaking by the one door as well.

Wonderful family vacation
This was our first family trip and everyone enjoyed it. You can’t get closer to the beach. There was quite a bit of noise from the upstairs tenants at night but the view and location made up for that. Would definitely rent again.

Happy House made us happy!
The house was more than we could have expected. So much space. Parking a little tight, but we made do. Great location. Be on the beach in one minute. Couldn't have asked for anything better! We would stay here again. And I highly recommend the house as well as VRBO/Vacasa.

Needs to be cleaned
The place is a perfect location right on the beach. When we checked there was no linen but a quick phone call got us we needed. The place is dirty, dust everywhere, gum, stuck to the carpet, showers needed some scrubbing, broken light fixtures etc. Overall it was a fun trip with the family due to the location.

Cleanliness was lacking big time
This was the perfect location. The house was set up well and had all the space we needed. The covered parked was great for our bikes but hard to fit just one car let alone 2 (we have a truck). The cleanliness was terrible. Pretty sure it had not been vacuumed or swept in weeks. Sand on all floors, crumbs, dust, legos not from us. Mold on bathroom ceilings. Master bath had no window covering. Overall a good stay due to location. Just expected it to be cleaner for what we paid and with Covid still an issue.

Nice place
We enjoyed the apartment. Clean, well stocked, renovated baths and kitchen, nice location. Our only complaints were these: ice maker not working, freezer drawer hard to open, we used bagged ice instead ; mildew smell upon entry - a/c units’ filters were covered with black mold. Our 6-week old baby had trouble breathing from the start so we looked at filters and then scrubbed them. Did not contact management because we wanted to clean them immediately and didn’t know how long a service request would take. Still, we liked the place and will consider returning.

Great location
Place was a lot smaller then we thought for a 4 bedroom. Very expensive for such a small place. I would expected the condo to have been much bigger for the amount we were charged. Everything was in excellent condition and was perfect distance from home the beach parking is very tight don’t bring a truck.

Great property
Our family just finished vacationing at Happy House. The location is perfect. Just steps from the beach and a lovely deck to enjoy coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening. The house was updated with pretty decor and new/clean furniture. The kitchen was well stocked, but there was no place to put dry food. Not one cabinet for storage, so we piled food on the floor next to the table which was not ideal. There is a small closet near the kitchen with a vacuum and dust pans. I would recommend adding shelves for a pantry and putting the cleaning items in a bedroom closet. The bedrooms were a bit small and none of them had mirrors, but it was fine for our family of six. We had a minor issue with one of the bathtub drains and the maintenance crew resolved it quickly. It should be noted that the parking is for two cars, but it is tandem in a rather narrow area under the house. It took some maneuvering to get into the cars because we couldn’t open doors on both side at the same time. Moisture issues are always a problem at the beach, so it’s not exclusive to this home, but we discovered that there is a dry setting on the AC systems that helped somewhat. PTAC AC systems are not designed to remove moisture, so doors should be kept shut when it’s humid. Although this home was a bit on the smaller side, we would definitely consider staying again. We enjoyed the location and were very comfortable despite the minor shortcomings. Plenty of room on the deck to play games in the evening and kitchen/dining/living area were perfect for gathering. You will definitely be happy staying at Happy House.

Some good things / some not so good
The location was great. The deck looking onto the Ocean was beautiful. Given the price we paid, we were surprised by the many irritating problems. One of the bedroom doors would not close due to the furniture configuration, which was very hard to change (we had to get service people to come). The place was smaller than it seemed in the pictures. The boardwalk to the beach had sharp boards sticking up. There were two large windows or doors stored very haphazardly adjacent to the driveway and stairs which impeded unloading and getting in and out. The numerous TVs could not be used easily and all had to have the same program on (at least as far as we could tell). In fact initially nothing worked so I had to figure out how to reconnect the various cables. The cable selection was very poor. When we did ask the maintenance people to come to address certain problems, there mis-estimated their arrival time so my wife had to wait in the unit for about 3 hours.
