Second Chances: Short distance to the surf!

Our getaway "Second Chances" is yours to enjoy! This is a fun place to soak up the sun, take in the ocean breeze, and enjoy all that Oak Island has to offer. The house is newly remodeled and ready to entertain. Oak Island, meanwhile, is one of the few South facing islands so you can see the sun rise and set from the beach! The Oak Island pier is not far and free to the public for walking (pay to fish). Surf, fish, sun bathe, or just sit in sand and take in the refreshing feel that can only be obtained with that ocean air! While you will likely be out and about at the beach we hope you will also enjoy our house. You can even see the ocean...really tiny from the end of the driveway lol! (not an ocean view house) The home offers many amenities including...
- 3 bedroom, 2 bath
- 1 king, 2 queens, 2 futons, 2 couches

Always looks out for us
This is our third time staying at this property. The host has always looked out for us in case of storms. There was a tornado warning and they made sure we were safe. They are so helpful with any questions or problems you may have. I had a great time as I always have.

House is a little dated, but that's in the description, if so some research into other reviews. Close to most restaurants and shopping.

Beach vacation
Overall very pleased with our stay. The home was clean, spacious and had room for our family. Kitchen was well equipped with most items you'd need. We were very happy with the proximity to the beach having the public beach access point down the street. If I were going to make suggestions, I'd recommend having caffeinated coffee on hand and a beach cart would be super helpful.

Clean and stocked for all your needs!
The house is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. I did not see a single speck of dirt, grime, or mold. It's a small walk to the beach too. I always worry about what a rental will provide and what they won't, but I was pleasantly surprised they had everything we needed. Toilet paper, hand and dish soap, bath towels, pots, pans, baking sheets, plates, bowls, shot glasses, Daiquiri glasses, beer mugs, regular glasses, mugs, tons a silverware, tongs, spatulas, cutting boards, servings spoons, knives, can opener, tin foil, plastic wrap, wipes, available ice, extra blankets, extra pillows, a drying rack for clothes, a surplus of board games, lots of movies, streaming services, and playing cards, just to name a few things. We had a wonderful stay and may come back next year!

Fun in the Sun ☀️
We had a great stay! Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. The owners thought of everything that would be needed (plenty of toilet paper, towels and wash clothes, detergent, hand soap, trash bags, ect). I highly recommend this house to anyone staying in Oak Island.

Great Beach House
The owners were easy to communicate with, and the property was clean and easy to access. The house is laid out a little strangely (the only external locking door enters and exits through a bedroom) but nothing that impeded our stay in any way. It was a great house and a lovey vacation. Nice big kitchen table, lots of sofas to sit on, walkable to the beach. Very good!

Very Relaxing Getaway
This house is only a five minute (or less) walk right to the beach. The property is really nice. Clean and roomy. It sleeps about 8. We only had two people staying so we didn't even use two of the bedrooms. It's in a very quiet neighborhood and quite close to numerous really nice restaurants. We used the Master suite with a King bed and an adjoining bath. I don't think there is a better bargain at VRBO on Oak Island. For the size, location, and the amenities, this property, at the price point it rents for is an absolute great deal. The internet is lightning fast and there are TV's in all three bedrooms plus the living room. I highly recommend this location if you are going to Oak Island.

Great Place to Stay!
Tranquil Harbour was a great place to stay for our family vacation. The place is very clean, and close enough to the beach to make for a wonderful vacation. We found it easiest to drive the short distance to the public parking rather than have to carry all our stuff, but there was always parking available. Krista was easy to contact and she answered questions quickly.

This was a great place to stay. It was clean and good location. We walked to the beach. The place had lots of games that we enjoyed. The kitchen was helpful to use to cook meals. There is lots of room. I would definitely recommend to others.
