Love Happy Dog Days!
We've been coming to OBX for 15 years, and this is the first house we've stayed in 2 years in a row. Love all the dog-friendly touches, and the paw shaped pool is super fun. Have to change our timing next year so can't return for year 3, but we'll miss it!

Happy Dog Days
Our family enjoyed our stay at Happy Dog Days from the moment we pulled into the driveway. The elevator was a plus for my disabled father and great for assisting with getting groceries and luggage to the top floor. The home was very clean, but we did immediately realized that the rug on the second floor hallway had an odor, so we rolled it up and left it on the covered porch during our stay and did not notice an odor again. The couch was very difficult for some family members to get in and out off as i

Can’t wait ‘til next year!
What a great week! We’ve been coming to OBX every summer for the last 14 years with our dogs, and this house was hands down our favorite. Our dogs really enjoyed the fenced in grass, the walk to the beach was easy, and the house had everything we could want. We’ve already booked for next year, and can’t wait to come back.

Such a great house!!!
Happy Dog Days was a fantastic house for us. And by saying pet friendly, this owner really meant it. So many details - from the biggest water bowl ever - to the enclosed grassy yard and a pool - plenty of hoses to clean up the doggies - it was great for all the family!!! We will be back and vote 5 stars for everything

Happy Dog Day Vacation
Our visit was very nice. The house was fairly clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the location of the beach house as it was located very close to many places we wanted to see and shop. The beach access was great!
Our furry companions enjoyed the property too.
I think the elevator was a fantastic way to fully access the different levels especially for some of our elderly family.
Kitchen was great..pool and hot tub were thoroughly enjoyed.
Overall experience was excellent!!

Perfect winter beach trip
The house met all of our familys needs. The elevator allowed for older generations to attend. Our dog was able to go with us on the trip and renting Happy Dog Days made that possible. Communication with the realty company during our stay was easy and effective. The location of the house was convenient to north and south Outer Banks beaches and parks.

Super cute house with an easy walk to the beach
We truly enjoyed this house. Its perfect for a larger family. The pool was lovely. Having the fenced in backyard was a luxury for a beach vacation with your dogs. The house is close to so many things, restaurants, ice cream and grocery stores. Most of all close to the beach! A quick walk across the street to the public access with parking (we didnt use it) and there were not any steps to reach the beach!! A huge plus with several little kids in tow. One downside is that area of the beach has the storm drain

Nice place!
Perfect for what we were looking for in a vacation. Beach access right across the road. Pool and hot tub serviced three times during a week so very consistent.Landscape is beautiful but causes debris in pool when high winds come through. We like it here.

Took Finn on a adventure.
Had a great time at a very dog friendly rental. Perfect location and great stuff around you. Lucky 12 is a great pub down the street and you are 8 minutes from the golf course. Bonus we had a St. Patricks Day parade directly infront of us on Sunday! ☘️
Manager Response: Thank you Billy for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Happy Dog Days. It is a wonderful house! We look forward to your return!

A different type of vacation
We loved this house. This is the first time that we came down in the offseason fully understanding that this was not going to be a beach trip. This was a getaway for my wife's birthday with friends to just relax. This house was perfect for our needs. We got spoiled by the elevator and have said that any rental we do going forward will have to have an elevator.
The only things that we brought up during our stay is that the lighting in the top floor is dark. The lights were very dim. Directions on h

Awesome Home
My Family and I had the greatest time staying in this home. It was perfect for our dogs. Centrally located on the island so seeing sites in either north or south was so easy. Only a walk across street to beautiful beach. Great fenced area for the doggies to run and do their business. I highly recommend this home. Also Beach Realty does a exceptional job with communication and updates about services (trash pickup etc...)

Happy Dogs Day, great location, very convenient set up.
We love the pool. Noted they added hoses to the middle and top deck. The fenced yard works well for our vacation. We've stayed here every summer for a week since 2017. Some of the furniture is getting a little worn, but that is to be expected. Everything takes a beating at the beach.
Manager Response: Hi Jennifer! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the newly installed hoses and that the home has continuously provided you with the perfect accommodations for your family for so many years. We hope

Comfortable stay for people and pups
First time staying in Nags Head and found the location to be perfect as it was centrally located and right across from beach access. Lord the dog friendly features, especially the fenced in yard.
While everything was topically clean, coming at the end of season does mean you will have more wear. Property is maintained regularly as could be seen by lawn and pool care professionals.
Note: WiFi is not high speed and made working from the property very difficult. Fine for basic intern

Happy Dog Days for a lazy, restful getaway
This was the first time we stayed here but definitely will not be our last. My entire familys consensus was this was the most ;comfortable; feeling vacation home where we have stayed. Pool, hot tub, family, dogs and ocean across the street what more can you ask for. All the comforts of home. Did need to have the hot tub fixed, however repair was made in less than 24 hours. House could use a new dishwasher and a 3rd floor mattress for master bedroom, but these things wont stop us from coming back. See you Ha

Another wonderful stay at Happy Dog Days!
This was our second stay at this property. It was as wonderful as I remember. The house is clean and comfy. This place is a must stay for those traveling with their pups. The fenced in yard is great for the dogs to play and enjoy their time at the beach. Very close to a public beach access point and many restaurants and stores in the vicinity.
Just a few things we noticed: The dishwasher silverware basket needs replaced due to holes causing the silverware to fall through, the electric can opener did not work and there was no manual one, and the pooper scooper in the yard was broken. Other than that, this is a great home to rent. We loved our vacation and the time we spent at this house.

Love this house!!!
We had yet another great stay in this house. The yard is beyond compare if you have dogs. Somehow they have kept the horrible burrs out of their grass. We had two weeks of beautiful weather, only rain one night (part of hurricane Michael). This house is great, good bed situation.
Only issue is the dishwasher needs new bottom rack.

October stay - first time in the fall
First time staying in the fall. It was nice to have a fireplace that we got to enjoy. Pool tempature was like bath water towards the middle to end of the week - although first couple of days it was real cold. Only issue was with we blew a breaker in the house and mainteance kept on saying that the breaker box was in the house and it wasn't - I told the maintenance crew to make sure the main office knows the location when/if it happens again in the future. Only suggestion that we have is to have instruct

Doggone Perfect!
We were beyond surprised and extremely happy with our vacation rental this year. I will admit I was very nervous only because of some of the reviews I've read and I had my 83 yr old mom coming with us along with our fury friends. I was afraid there would be an odor of previous dogs and possibly not as clean as we would like. COMPLETELY not the case though. Beautifully decorated and very well cleaned upon arrival. The pool area was great and the fenced in dog area was spotless. Would totally recommend to any

Happy Dog Days and then some
Had a wonderful, relaxing time in this house. The only issues we had were the fencing. When we arrived a board was missing from the fenced back yard. The pool guy next door thankfully fixed it but the gate itself fell apart. The aging of the fencing is showing in several places along with some of the slats on the porches.The tenanants before us failed to empty the doggie pick up bucket (not pleasant). Other than that we found the house in relatively good shape.

As advertised
The house was as clean as you could expect a beach house to be. All the features listed in the property description were present. The heated pool was a great alternative to the ocean, especially with young children. The backyard was well secure for our dog and the elevator is an added bonus.

Amazing home!
We just got back from a wonderful week spent at this awesome home! The layout and design is perfect for a large family. There are plenty of places to he together and play games or get away and have solitude. All of the thoughtful features for our furry friends were a blessing. The fenced in backyard was perfect for the dogs (no stickers in feet). We played countless hours of volleyball and corn hole with our teenagers every night while the dogs hung out with us. Kitchen very well stocked, furniture and beds

Lazy Dog Days at the Beach
It was a great vacation. The close proximity to the beach access made it easy to walk on the beach every morning. I saw some beautiful sunrises. I wish I could wake up to that everyday. The rental experience was ok. The key was not ready until exactly 4:00pm. We also had called about the pool being heated. On day 3 it finally was. After three phone calls about it.
