Our Founding Family Stay Packages are a special way to pre-book your first getaway at The Happy Place before we officially open our doors. You’ll purchase a 2-, 3-, or 5-night stay at our exclusive pre-opening rate, then choose your actual travel dates once reservations open to our Founding Family.

Think of it as getting your Happy Place getaway on the books early—with a few special perks for believing in us from the very beginning.

Besides locking in special pre-opening pricing for your future Happy Place getaway, purchasing a pre-booking gift certificate automatically makes you part of our Founding Family—for life.

That means you’ll always be one of the people who can say, “I knew them when.” As a Founding Family member, you’ll receive early access to booking before the general public, plus first dibs on special events, gatherings, sneak peeks, offers, and little surprises we dream up along the way.

Most of all, you’ll be part of the community helping us bring The Happy Place at Sunset to life from the very beginning—and we hope being Founding Family will feel a little like having a Happy Place of your own to come back to, year after year.

When you purchase a Founding Family Stay Package, you’ll receive a gift certificate confirming the package you purchased and the number of nights included. You don’t need to choose your dates or room just yet.

Before reservations open to the general public, we’ll contact our Founding Family first with instructions for choosing your dates, selecting your room, and booking your stay.

Nope! That’s part of the beauty of pre-booking. Purchase your package now and choose your actual stay dates later, once our reservation calendar opens.

Founding Family guests will get early access to availability before booking opens to the general public, giving you first dibs on dates and rooms.

No blackout dates! Your Founding Family package can be used for available dates throughout our booking calendar.

As a small nine-room inn, popular weekends, holidays, and peak summer dates may fill quickly, so reservations are always subject to availability. The good news? Our Founding Family will be among the first invited to book.

We’re working hard to bring The Happy Place at Sunset to life, and we’ll keep our Founding Family updated every step of the way.

As we get closer to opening, you’ll be among the first to receive our official opening dates, behind-the-scenes updates, and early access to reservations.

Restoring an old inn sometimes comes with a few surprises. If our opening timeline shifts, don’t worry—your Founding Family package remains yours to use once we begin welcoming guests.

We’ll keep you updated along the way so you always know what’s happening at your Happy Place.

Our room images are design renderings created to help you imagine what we’re bringing to life—and we’re working hard to make the real thing just as fun.

The colors, themes, signature design moments, and overall feel you see in the mockups reflect our vision for each room, but some furniture, artwork, finishes, layouts, and little details may evolve as we complete the restoration.

Think of the renderings as a sneak peek of what’s to come. Each of our nine rooms is being thoughtfully designed with its own personality, playful nods to old-school Rehoboth beach fun, and plenty of Happy Place character. We can’t wait for you to see how they come to life!
