World Series Trip
I don’t know where to start. Tbh this was my first time getting a home from Vrbo and I was a little nervous it wouldn’t be as beautiful as the pics. I was completely blown away. This house is so freaking cute and had literally everything we would ever need on a vacation. It was my daughter’s birthday and we made her breakfast in bed and I thought man I wish I had candles. Look in a drawer and “boom” candles and matches. April was a wonderful host and I would stay here over and over again! Thank you for everything April - it was perfect!

Cute home in Northshore!
We truly enjoyed our stay. This home is one of the cleanest we have stayed in. The host thought of all the extras as well. We were downtown in minutes and could’ve walked if it wasn’t so hot. Me and my son loved the backyard and threw the football alot. April is an awesome host. We would come back in a minute!

Impeccably clean, lovely stay
If you want to walk into a phenomenally clean and conveniently located place, this is the one! All linens are new and very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and lovely backyard with firewood. The owner is very responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The owner mentioned that the crib was broken when she went to clean the place in preparation for our stay, so before we got there, she went to the store and bought a brand new crib for our little one to use. Wonderful, wonderful property.

Great experience and location
The house was great. We had everything we needed. Some friends and I were in town for a wedding and loved having the ability to grill some steaks for dinner and sit out by the fire on Saturday night. The location was perfect. It was walkable to nearby restaurants and stores and also just a short drive across the bridge from downtown.

Perfect location!
The property is located in the fun vibe of the North Shore district with so many shops and eateries in walking distance. The Happy Home is amazingly set up with details thought of for guests with young children to those like us gathering with adult family. Beds were comfortable and everything so clean with high quality accessories. The owner was ever so kind in our interactions with her.
