The Ocean - this location is absolutely stellar! The house - falling apart. Household amenities - I’d rather have forks, a coffee pot and a working dishwasher than an expensive washer & dryer. Still was an amazing week in the OBX. ##### Renee V. ### 8/10 Good #### Ann O. May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Oceanfront location location location The best part of this house is that it’s oceanfront with great views. It’s large for a big group. It is outdated decor wise. There were no hair dryers and the kitchen had minimal utensils,dishes,glasses etc. There were no beach chairs/toys. Outdoor deck furniture was minimal. Should have lounge chairs by the pool. ##### Ann O. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy M.

Jul 20, 2025 #### OLD UNCOMFORTABLE HOUSE This is an old uncomfortable house. From the beds, to the living room furniture, to the dining room, everything is old and falling apart. The stove is tilted backwards, and smoke comes from the back when you use the oven. Several lights don't work, doors are difficult to lock, and it goes on. The only thing in favor of this house is the location beside the beside. I regret renting this house and it made our very expensive vacation pretty miserable. The for sale sign went up the day we were leaving, so clearly the owners want out from under this house. Very bad experience, and I could have used the money for a much better vacation. ##### Noel M. ### 8/10 Good #### Jodi S.

Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Outer Banks Spring Break So fun! This house has the best location!!! The beach is literally in your backyard and yet two blocks in the other directions is a grocery store, restaurants, and shopping. The house was super clean and we could just enjoy right away. It could use some sprucing up but that seems trivial when you look at all it has to offer. I also loved that the managing company left incidentals so we didn’t need to spend extra money on those items. Just thinking of this house I hear the ocean waves calling! ##### Amber F.

Negative pest problem I loved the floor layout and the location. Vacasa was extremely responsive within hours to fix an ac problem on the second floor. We did however deal with hoards of mosquitos which made evening/night swimming impossible. And on the last night, we found one large roach on the fourth floor. I was considering re-renting until that happened on the last night ##### karen j. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Wayne L. May 25, 2024 #### A venerable and well designed house, now a bit old We've stayed here many times, and I have a soft spot in my heart for this house, but things are starting to fall apart a bit. The microwave was broken; there is a leak from the main floor shower into the bedroom below (we stopped using that shower). The pool was filthy with pigeon droppings and its sides had turned green (true from the day we arrived; we never got in it). The oceanfront views are great, and they were fixing the boardwalk dune walkover when we left. Good hot tub. The house was perfectly clean; the poor cleanliness rating is due to the pool being filthy. ##### Wayne L. ### 8/10 Good #### Alan D. Dec 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### House Has Great Potential But House has great potential - great location, lots of beds, good layout. It was undone by poor delivery in some respects. There are multiple non-functioning outlets. The fan in the upstairs master can not be switched off (chain is stuck). The hot tub did not work until we found the outdoor breaker and pulled the breaker out and flipped it over to its correct orientation. There was no caraffe for the coffee maker.There were 5 drinking glasses in a house for 8 people. The local VACASA office was great - gave us glasses and a coffee caraffe to replace the missing one. Not sure we would stay here again but will shop VACASA again next year. ##### Alan D.

Dec 8, 2023 #### repeat visitor; but house is getting tired Have been at this house several times (and in Avon annually for 25 years). There are some serious maintenance issues that need handling, esp. the deck door that leaks in the rain (and is ruining the ceiling one floor down). The pool table has been a subject of complaint by others for years now (seriously, fix the railings and the 1 ball). There are maybe 8 spoons, and only 6 glasses (lots of mugs). The cabinet icemaker has never worked. The mattresses are old and lumpy, and one of the chairs REALLY needs new cushions. It's a nice house and it suits us well, but I'd hate to see it continue to wear down (truly afraid of mold setting in where the door leaks into the carpet). ##### Wayne L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jeanna P. Oct 10, 2023 #### Not great customer service We loved the location of this property. The property itself is very dated. There was mold in the crow’s nest rendering it unusable. We were not given enough towels and when I requested more, they said it was their policy one set per person. Then when I explained we didn’t receive one set per person, they stopped responding to me. We also had broken pool balls and the pool table was the center of focus in this house. They also ignored that. There was mold on one of the shower curtains. Supplies were sparse and unorganized. We were there to vacation and I didn’t want to spend my week arguing with Vacasa so we made do with the towels, broken pool balls and didn’t use the crow’s nest. I will not work with Vacasa in the future which is unfortunate because the location of this house was phenomenal. ##### Jeanna P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Collin W. Feb 5, 2023 #### Good, not great Overall we enjoyed our stay at Play-N-Hooky Too. The exterior of the home has been recently updated. The interior is dated, with water damaged carpets, moldy shower curtains and caulk. Another review mentioned the lighting in the kitchen, which is terrible. If you plan to do any cooking, bring a head lamp. The kitchen is not very well appointed either, so you may want to bring along some knives/pans. I can speak for the other bedrooms, but the mattress in the upstairs master was purchased used from a 1980's soviet torture facility. Truly, we considered dragging it out to the beach and burning it, security deposit be damned. The pool table is awkwardly placed and worn to the point of being unusable. The number one ball was broken nearly in half. Kids enjoyed the hot tub, which we thought stank, literally. Pool was ice cold but refreshing. Really the only redeeming qualities are the front decks and the proximity to the beach, where we spent most of our time, trying to forget about the mattress. Good luck! ##### Collin W. ### 6/10 Okay #### michelle m. Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Could Be a Star By the description, we expected a property with a screened porch and comfortable furniture and a well appointed kitchen. Three strikes there. No screened porch. The dishwasher is probably the worst feature of the kitchen, being malodorous and barely functioning. We bought some Dawn and mostly washed dishes by hand for the 10 of us (after the maintenance man came out to try and fix it). The pots and pans are mostly scratched, warped and/or crusty. The pool, pool table, and most of the beds are great! We didn’t use the bunk room but the queen mattress on the back side of the house needs to be replaced. The rest of the beds seemed comfortable. The washer and dryer are new, and a blessing to have. The newer windows and sliding doors add a great touch (though I had to clean a few sound-side windows in order to see out of them). Generously sized decks and great ocean views. We moved deck furniture around so we could have enough seats for ten of us. A few more chairs would be wonderful! All in all we had a good time; it was frustrating though, having the towel bar fall off, or the toilet paper holder fall off, and the upstairs bathroom sink faucet knob come off in my hand (especially when said knob was mentioned as being broken in a review from 2021!). The place could be so wonderful if it had bedroom furniture with drawers that opened easily and another towel rack or hooks in the bathrooms. We had a good time but were disappointed with the basics. ##### michelle m.
