Perfect little spot for a short stay!
We needed a spot for an event in Wilmington and turned it into a mini vacation. You can't beat the location with a bar down the street and a perfect breakfast spot the other way. Close walk to the beach too!

The only thing I would say is to put a shower or something outside for after the beach so you don't bring the sand into the house. And the only thing I really missed was a washer and dryer

Perfect beach access
We enjoyed our stay at Playing Hooky! It was a very easy/quick walk to the beach with their private walkway. The house is so cute and we loved the decor. This was our first time in Carolina Beach. We loved the location of the property. It is close to the boardwalk, restaurants, and shopping, yet far enough away to have a more private beach experience.

What a cute house! So clean and cozy. Literally 15 steps to the beach so location was great. We love to walk so each night walked the mile to either eat dinner or shop around. The owners could not have been better, communication was excellent.

Awesome place for a worry free getaway!
The property managers Jamie and Brian are great, very professional and communicative. They made sure to contact me to give me all the info on the property before arrival and made checking in/out effortless and easy. The kitchen is fully stocked, house very well put together, and the beach access is right there! This was my first trip to Carolina beach and I will definitely rent from Jamie and Brian again when my Family and I come back.
