Love this place. The house was beautiful, the pool was really nice. Had a great stay!- Daniel H 09/03/2022 - 09/10/2022
House is beautiful. Easy to get to. Plenty of space. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. Beach is beautiful. Getting to the beach was a chore with kids. Hot sand. Worth the short walk. They loved it. Not sure which they liked the most. Beach or pool.- Debbie K 06/25/2022 - 07/02/2022

It was wonderful. We loved the setup as we were there with another family. The pool was a hit with the kids and the beach access couldn't have been easier.- Hillary O 08/08/2020 - 08/15/2020
I would highly recommend Our Happy Place and plan on returning next year. We've been coming to the OBX for 35 years and this home is in our top 4! Very reasonably priced for an Oceanfront home of this size and appointed way beyond our expectations. Considering we visited during the Corona pandemic, we felt safe in knowing that the home was very clean upon our arrival. And Joe Lamb Realty kept us informed constantly prior to our arrival. Obviously, there's a reason the homeowner chose "Our Happy Place" as the name for this home: My family and I were quite happy there and actually felt at home!- David S 06/27/2020 - 07/11/2020

The house was PERFECT. Everything we needed was there. The movie selection was amazing, the space and layout of the house fit our group of 3 families well. The pool, hot tub all in great condition and clean. We really loved the house and location and we will definitely be back!

- Laura K 08/04/2018 - 08/11/2018
LOVED this house. It is beautifully decorated and spacious and open. This is the first rental property in which I felt like they had everything you could need. We did not lack anything.
They even had vegetable peelers and tea pitchers:)
I fell in love with house...I keep telling my husband I want to build it at home for us. LOVED the family room rug!!! AMAZING selection of movies.....someone is super organized to have everything you would need inside a categorized notebook. The connect four game was a fun bonus! Hot tub is nice! Definitely fell in love with this property!!!!!! My favorite rental property EVER!!!! Keyless entry is also a nice option.- Scott A 03/31/2018 - 04/07/2018
The home is so well equipped and maintained. The movies, games, puzzles, and books add to the experience and we are grateful for the time the owners take to catalog and maintain those items. Thank you!- Lesley S 03/24/2018 - 03/31/2018

Overall we had a great time at the house. We liked the house provided nightlight and light switch labels. The kids enjoyed the large selection of movies.Posted: 09/19/2017
P.S. - stayed 07/15/17
It was a great help to have nightlights in bathrooms, etc. Also helpful to have light switches marked and all the appliance manuals available. The enormous, and organized,collection of DVD's and books was amazing. Our granddaughter said it was her favorite house that we've stayed at. It worked well for our family.Posted: 07/26/2017

We loved the location of this home and were impressed with the cleanliness. We noticed details such as excellent lighting throughout the house, and an extensive video and book collection. There is a binder with detailed information that helped us enjoy our stay. We had beautiful views all over the house, and many deck options. We've stayed in over a dozen homes in the Outer Banks, and this by far has been our favorite. This is the first time we've used Joe Lamb and got a text letting us know that the home was ready early.

Our Happy Place certainly lives up to it's name! The deck provided gorgeous views of the sunrise, the beach and the ocean. The wide uncrowded beach was wonderful. We watched dolphins nearly every day. The pool and hot tub were thoroughly enjoyed daily. We plan to return next year, can't wait!!Posted: 08/01/2015

Matthew B. - Stayed 07/12/14
Our Happy Place is just that! We had a great time on our 2014 vacation and this home was a big reason. From the kitchen overloaded with supplies to the board games and books and also the movie selection, this was a great home. Also, the pool area was one of the best we have seen. We loved Our Happy Place and hope to visit again soon. Thanks!!Posted: 07/12/2014

Betty R - Stayed 5/10/14
Loved the house! Very well appointed. Had a lot of knick knacks, so not much room for guests to put their own items. Great location to ocean. Loved the pool, etc. We loved looking at all the pictures and signs (art) in the house. Great books and movies too! Beds were comfortable but could use another king rather than queen. Everything was clean and comfortable!!!!! This house was listed as 3 levels but should be listed as four.Mgr. Note: Owner took Betty's suggestion and replaced a queen with a king bed!

“While we come to the Outer Banks every year, if not more than once a year, this was our first time coming to the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving, and our first time using Joe Lamb. Joe Lamb was one of the best, most attentive companies that we've ever used. Everyone had such a great attitude, when it could have been easy to be stressed out around the holidays. The home was PERFECT for our group and for us to spend Thanksgiving in. It was actually beyond our expectations. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. We will definitely be renting not only from Joe Lamb again, but likely this house! Jade F.
