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
- futon in LR & primary BR
- large dining room table
- large living room
- spacious bedrooms
- desk in primary & "old" primary bedroom
- back porch
- front porch
- front and rear entrances with stairs
- washer & dryer
- carpet, luxury vinyl plank
- central air & electric heat

***Fires NOT Permitted in outdoor fire ring, due to city ordinances***

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.

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.

Relaxing stay with short walk to beach!
The property was exactly as listed and Krista was timely and thorough with her communication. Great place for a family beach trip or a getaway with a group of friends. It was nice to have the grill outside - though it may be time to replace it as it is starting to fall apart.

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.

Comfortable, easy 1/2 mile walk straight down the road and over the dunes to the beach. House was roomy and comfortable, any small issues were handled quickly. Would rent again.
