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.

The place was beautiful we felt right at home. It was perfect for us being there to see our Marine graduate. It was close to Parris Island and everything we needed was very close by. We would definitely stay again. Ali & Jim answered all my questions and concerns very quickly. Great place to stay in a great quiet neighborhood.
