PLAYIN' HOOK-Y GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

Our group had a great time at Oak Island. The house is very cute, and clean. The front porch is an absolute gem. It’s a little far from the beach (not walking distance) but that did not bother us at all. Love the house and would book again.

Let me start with what we did not like. Cleanliness was not up to our standards. Tub looked like it hadn't been cleaned at all as there were hairs left in it. The plates and glasses had to be washed before we could use them, and the table on the covered front porch was black with soot when we went to wipe it down. This one is on me as I didn't notice that the fully equipped kitchen lacked a dish washing machine and it wasn't a big deal, but it might explain those not so clean dishes. Some of the towels were past replacing by a few months and there was just a single hotel-sized pack of shampoo and conditioner. My wife used it up in one shower after the day at the beach (not easy to wash out the salt if you have long hair). Now, the good part is the location, it is a 5 minute drive to the beach and about a 20 minute walk. The covered porch is huge and we really enjoyed it, once we cleaned up a bit. Beds are comfortable if not new or newer and house is nicely decorated. One thing I forgot to mention to the owner was that the smoke alarm would go off when we were warming up the oven, although there was no visible or smellable smoke. Owner gave us good instructions and invited us to let her know if there were any issues and we would have if we thought they could have been fixed quickly and without disrupting our vacation further.

Perfect location and home for 3 adults or a couple with kids

We loved this house. There was enough room for my kids and husband, and I. It was clean, there were beach chairs to take down to the beach, which was great. We enjoyed it and will definitely being coming back and using Vrbo again.

The property was lovely and Patti couldn't have made the entire process any easier!

We had an awesome, relaxing week and Patti was more than just a owner/host, she was always available to answer any questions and told us of several places in the area to go for dinner or site-seeing. The house is very close to the beach and the grocery store. It was clean and added touches by Patti made it feel like we were at friends house instead of just a rental house. We will definitely stay here again the next time we go to Oak Island.

We loved our stay at playin’ hooky. The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The host is amazing! She is so communicative and extremely helpful! I would highly recommend staying here!

Could not have been happier with this rental! Property was super clean & well equipped! Owner was very accommodating and prompt to respond to all my questions! The location is perfect & the front porch is great for sitting and relaxing! Thank you again!

The house had everything you could need and the location was amazing. Patti was a great host, quick to respond to any inquiry. Looking forward to my next visit and would definitely stay at Playin Hooky again.

First time with VRBO. Will use service again!
