About Us – Ali & Jim White, Founders of Happi Shacks Vacation Rentals

 

We’re Ali and Jim White—partners in life and business—passionate about creating memorable getaways for families, couples, and friends. After years of traveling with our own blended family of five twenty-somethings, we saw how powerful a great vacation home can be in bringing people together. That’s why we founded Happi Shacks Vacation Rentals.

 

With a background in real estate, property renovation, and hospitality, we specialize in turning houses into welcoming retreats. Our properties are thoughtfully chosen and designed to be comfortable, stylish, and packed with amenities for fun and relaxation. Whether guests are looking for a peaceful escape, a place to gather, or a home base for adventure, we want each Happi Shacks stay to feel effortless and memorable.

 

We love being active and sharing our favorite local experiences—from fishing and boating to spa days, skiing, pickleball, and more. Guests are always welcome to reach out for personalized recommendations to make the most of their stay.

 

At Happi Shacks, our goal is simple: create spaces where guests can relax, reconnect, and leave with big smiles and happy memories.

LOVE STAYING HERE

Close to Saybrook Point. Easy and convenient to all that Saybrook has to offer. The only negative was that the sheets seemed stale or musty. Could be because we came off season. Otherwise nice stay in a beautiful location.

We were 6 adults and 2 children and the space was perfect for our group. Very convenient to have en suite bathrooms for each bedroom, and the common areas were comfortable and clean. Ali and Jim proactively gave clear instructions and were responsive. Great location close to Stratton village and a short drive to Manchester and other local attractions

Très bon séjour et belle maison mais un peu retirée de tout, beaucoup de route à faire pour trouver des activités. Surtout ne rien casser car cela coûte très cher…

Ali and Jim were proactive, friendly, responsive, all around great hosts. The house is as pictured, well-kept, extremely clean and comfortable. All the beds were comfy and the house is close to lots of fun activities. Highly recommended.
