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!!!

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!

We all loved the pool and really had a great experience. Hong was super responsive to all of our questions and requests before and during our stay ! We have already started looking for next year !!

Wellow House

My 3 year old grandson loved the Wellow House (what he called it) he did not want to leave. We had a great time. Wish there weren’t so many steps to beach with little ones (not owners fault). Plenty of deck and pool seating everything you need for the beach and more. Only thing is needs more cookware (steam pot), large utensils (serving spoons) and big bowls with lids. Water pressure is ok. Beds in most rooms absolutely fantastic, except 2nd floor king and one of the queens. Would highly recommend

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.

Wonderful stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the 2nd chance house. The location was amazing. Just a quick walk to the beach. The house was equipped with everything you could need. There were lots of beach bicycles, beach chairs, beach toys, board games, and movies to watch. The beds were very comfortable. The only down falls were that there were no wash cloths or dish cloths included in the towel and linen rental and the front door lock did not work most days so we would have to leave a sliding door unlocked when we went out. Also the kitchen could have definitely been cleaner. The pots and pans needed a deep clean and the cabinets were rather dirty on thr inside. The coach was dirty as well. But all in all we would definitely go back smd stay again. The property manager Andy was awesome to work with.

Great Property, but Bring Essentials

The house was exactly as described, close to the water, and with a great community pool and tennis courts. The neighborhood is quiet and offers lightly trafficked roads on which to walk/run and a bike/running trail along the main drag. There are two very well stocked grocery stores within a one mile drive of the house. The property was great--spacious, well-equipped with kitchen utensils, beautiful view from the spacious balconies. The host was supremely communicative throughout the whole stay. The only issue was with the provision of essential items--the house had no toilet paper, trash bags, hand soap, laundry or dishwasher detergent, or even hand towels for the bathrooms. Our party assumed that 'linens provided' included hand towels and had to go purchase these and other essential items after our arrival.

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.
