Playin’ Hooky is a five bedroom, four and a half bath property. This home evokes memories of a classic Outer Banks vacation home that made our beaches famous. From its cedar shake exterior to its wrap-around decks, complete with views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Hatteras National Seashore, there is a lot to like about this quintessential oceanfront home.

This home features custom kitchen cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, luxury vinyl plank floors and a gas fireplace. Additionally, the top level king en suite with custom bath, overlooks the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and provides picturesque sunsets through the large picture window.

On the mid-level, the two north-facing bedrooms are en suites, each with a private bath. The northeast king bedroom opens onto the lower level deck that faces the ocean. The northwest bedroom has two bunk beds. The two south-facing bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a bathroom.

Ample decking allows for plenty of outdoor enjoyment: take in a sunrise, stargaze at night, soak in the hot tub, or simply enjoy the salt air and sunshine. The beach walkway makes for easy access to and from the beach, over the dune.

Sheets and towels can be added for an additional fee.

Gas Fireplace is available October - April

Layout:
Ground Level: Covered parking area, outdoor shower, and 7-person hot tub. Fish cleaning station. New private beach walkway.

Unbelievable surprise!

Although we have stayed in the Nags Head area for 10+ years we decided to try South Nags Head for a fall get-away and what a find this house was! It is obvious that the owners want to welcome guests to “their home” as it was decorated beautifully and well equipped (with exceptional appliances). Loved the open floor plan and ALL the windows allowing the rooms to be bathed in light and constant views of the ocean; very calming! Great deck for relaxing and enjoying beautiful sunrises! Great retreat for 6 of us and we’ve already made reservations for next year! THANK YOU!! (One suggestion: providing a 4-slice toaster to accommodate large groups of guests.)

Incredible stay

Incredible stay - thank you so very much! The kitchen was very well stocked and we loved the newly done bathrooms. It was lovely to take in the ocean view from rocking chairs on the deck! Enjoyed the quiet street location.

Perfect for Thanksgiving

This is a beautiful beach home that we have stayed in for over twenty years. We love the location with beautiful views of the ocean and sound. New owners have redone the kitchen and bathrooms. The appliances are top of the line including a new washer and dryer. The wraparound decks are wonderful for catching the morning and afternoon sun and enjoying the breezes! The new dining table and chairs are much appreciated! This location is away from the more commercial and congested areas-this is a plus for my family! The new walkway to the beach is another plus. We appreciate the thought that has gone into making this home comfortable and pleasant to live in. We hope to spend more summers in this great house!!

I loved the open floor plan on the upper floor the windows and the light. The table and chairs were new and a big improvement over the table and chairs in the photos. We all fit at the table and played cards there at night. One thing I enjoyed was the simplicity of the colors the furniture lamps and objects. Some of the OBX rental homes are decorated with large sculptural sea crabs dolphins anchors ropes turtles etc. that are are attached to the walls or are placed all over surfaces. It was so nice to be in a tasteful home that echoed the colors of the sea sand shells and sky. Blank walls allow the ocean and the light to be the star. We couldn't have loved the living room/dining room/ kitchen area more. It was so peaceful and we could see the ocean all day and even in moonlight. We really loved it and hope to return in the future. Thank you!

This was a great house! Great layout for 9 people. Great location too! Some of the screens need to be replaced. We also left it as clean or cleaner than when we arrived. Also in all my many years of renting at the OBX I have never been able to get in as early as this year even with paying for early check in. That was awesome! The people at Sun Realty are awesome too. Talked to Kate during our stay. Very polite and courteous.

Lovely decor and location! Our group had well seasoned cooks who purchased/supplied some tools for the kitchen. The bunk beds do not make for comfortable adult sleep.

Great House! The bedding and living space was great! Recommend providing a scrubber for cleaning the pots. For most folks that is usually not on the list of items to bring to rentals.

Loved it!

This house is absolutely gorgeous! Everything looks brand new and beautiful. We had 7 adults and 2 children and we had more than enough space for sleeping eating and living. The new walkway and deck are great. Thank you to the owners for opening up your lovely home! One note this house is at milepost 20 not 21.
