Great vacation home

After several outer banks vacations our whole family agreed this was the best place yet! We had plenty of room for everyone. Kids loved the pool. Close to beach grocery stores and restaurants. The home owner and property mgr were quick to respond to any questions we had and very courteous. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

Nice house, great location

Check in was simple and owner very responsive as he immediately addressed an issue with the air condition!! The WiFi was a bit slow, the kitchen lacked basic equipment ( measuring cups & spoons), and the basketball hoop fell off, but otherwise we had a wonderful time! We took advantage of the amenities, like the bikes, hot tub and the tennis courts! Definitely recommend this location!!!

Wonderful property & Location

This house was perfect for our family vacation (6 adults/7 kids). The location was phenomenal, 3 houses to the beach, one block to the community pool. Beautiful property, well kept & had everything you need including pool chairs, boogie boards, bicycles. Kitchen was fully equipped with all necessities including multiple coffee units, (pot & Keurig). Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and good size and parking was great. Hong, Maria & Andy were very responsive to all of our needs and requests & checked in to make sure all was well. Overall A+ and it will definitely be at the top of our list for future visits.

Perfect Week in Corolla

Our stay at Second Chance was lovely. The house was the perfect fit for our group, located a hop, skip and a jump from the beach making it very easy to get excited toddlers from the house to the sand. The house was clean and provided everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The owner, Hong, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay and provided quick responses to any questions or requests I had throughout the week. We'd love to return in the future as long as the house fits our families!

A nice time

As we drove up to the property and notice window AC units, a bit of apprehension spread over our group. However, we were met by the property manager Andy who explained that the central air unit needed repairs and the parts would not be available until midway through our stay. The owner had him install window units to increase our comfort but the units needed to be placed in the bedrooms, not the living room as we spent most of the daylight time outside. The good news is that the AC was repaired a day sooner than expected and sleeping comfort was restored. The place was clean and arranged as advertised. We had plenty of room for our party of 11, and we could all sit at the dining table for meals together. The hike over the dune was a bit of a challenge with beach paraphanalia but next time we will know. Would definitely stay here again.

2nd chance

The property was great except the AC wasn't working. The owner did what they could.: Service call on Sunday and had the manager bring window ACs. The tech couldn't remedy the problem. We were pretty hot until the AC could be replaced on Wednesday. We still had only the wall units upstairs until we left on Saturday. The lock didn't work so we couldn't lock up when we left. Again the owner did what they could. The manager put a new door knob with key on.

Great stay for our extended family of 11 people. It was an easy three minute walk to the beach and three minutes in the other direction to the community pool.

Perfect location to the beach with young children….

The owners quickly responded to any issues by messaging through VRBO. Location was equidistant between two grocery stores. Plenty to do….we went on a two hour wild horse tour…13 of us in total, ages 3-71 thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of shopping if that’s your interest. We also climbed to the top of the lighthouse which was fun. Beach was perfect for all ages. Never left Corolla….

The house was so much fun for our multi families, ages 17 - 75. Love every inch of the outside from the pool/kitchenette, hammock swing, hot tub, seating areas, top deck great for corn hole, and view from the crow's nest. Beds were comfortable. Found everything we needed in well stocked kitchen for our family meals. Easy walk to great beach area. Watched the sunrise every morning. Great location for day activities and close to grocery store and donuts! Appreciate the access to bikes and extra beach chairs. Easy and friendly check in, house ready on time!!

Wonderful Vacation Home

We loved everything about our stay. We could easily walk to the beach, tennis courts & community pool, all only a few houses away. Family loved using the pool & hot tub at the house. House was very comfortable having a fully equipped kitchen. The 3 floors gave everyone room to spread out. Teenagers had their own personal space in the first floor bedroom with bunks, small kitchenette, & TV. I highly recommend this house and would definitely rebook.

Family Reunion

What an AMAZING house with so many amenities. We booked the 2nd Chance Beach House for a family reunion of 4 brothers, their families and their Mom. We had all ages from infants to teens to adults and there was something for everyone. The beach was less than a block away so you can come home for lunch, run back to grab what you forgot or use the bathroom. The pool wasn’t in the description when we first booked but was a HUGE bonus esp since some members of our party sunburned at the beach the first day so they hung at the pool all week. There’s an outdoor kitchen, a hammock, a hot tub and the sunset from the top deck was beautiful. The best part was the owner answered all my silly questions in the month prior so we could make our vacation the best it could be. The beds were so comfy and since I had back surgery I dread sleeping in other beds, but they were perfect. There were so many bathrooms that nobody felt like they were invading someone’s shower time. We cooked at home every night and the kitchen was stocked with all the pots we needed. It truly is an outstanding house with great owners and we hope to book it again next year! You are literally just a stones throw from 2 grocery stores and shops. The pizza place was delish. The neighborhood was quiet and the lifeguards were amazing. I loved Corolla and the 2nd Chance Beach House!
