Pre holiday get away
The home was cozy and lovely for our short getaway. We initially expected to have an ocean view, but that was from misinterpreting the pictures. The home description was completely accurate. A simple walk around the house behind this one gave us beach access. Maybe it was the time of year but the beach was practically ours alone.The beds and living room furniture were comfortable and homey. We loved our 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.
