Come Play Hooky...
Transport back to childhood when the thrill of getting away from your responsibilities could be as simple as ‘playing hooky’. Feel your shoulders drop as soon as you leave the hard road to drive on the 4x4 beach right next to the beautiful, blue ocean.

Playing Hooky features all the amenities you can think of, for the relaxation and enjoyment of all ages. The game room, located on the entry level, has a pool table, kitchenette, flat screen tv with receiver, blu-ray player and Bose speaker surround sound, pub table and chairs, full bath and a huge, comfortable seating area for entertaining. A duo bunk and twin bedroom on this level is ideal for the kids getaway, or a 4 person family. Outside is the giant heatable pool (fee) with picnic table and lounge chairs as well as a cabana bath and outside shower.

The laundry room and three bedrooms are on the next floor: one is a king with a private bath, the other two are kings with a shared bath. All upper and mid level bedrooms are equipped with every comfort as well as wall mounted Dish network tvs. Step outside for the cool ocean breeze on the screened porch, which overlooks the pool and has a 6 person hot tub and dining table. Sip a frosty drink while watching the spectacular evening sky, or watch the kids swimming in the pool below. The hot tub's location in the screened porch means no annoyance from flying pests while you soak.

Unwind as you top the stairs of the upper level. The pretty leather furnishings, half bath and comfortable spaces are outdone only by the impressive ocean vistas. The fifth bedroom, a queen bedroom with private bath is also located on this level. Just past the island with seating for three is the well-equipped kitchen, with everything you will need to create a delicious meal. Nice quality flatware and place settings will create a handsome table for 12.

Through the dining area is the bright and inviting sun-room equipped with card table and upholstered chaise for your calming enjoyment. Step through the sun-room to the west onto a magnificent sun deck with vistas of the Currituck Sound. Step through the sun-room to the east for spectacular ocean vistas and decking with outdoor seating and access to another level of decking above, the crow’s nest deck located on the roof. Take your favorite cool beverages to the crow’s nest and let all your cares blow away as you appreciate the spectacular sunsets from the constructed in seating.

Strategies to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try shifting your family's Currituck vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family choose trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Playing Hooky Ocean\/Sound Views! Pool\/Hot tub Game rm PETS allowed 4x4 beach has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
