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 ##### Tammy E. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley W. Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Ashley W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay K. Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kay K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Treva S. Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Treva S.
