About this house rental
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. This home was moved from Caswell Beach in 2016 (just up the road on the same island). It is the result of blood, sweat, grace, divine intervention along with a lot of luck! We want you to enjoy what we have worked hard to restore. This has been a labor of love for our family. Destined to be torn down due to the value of the land, we were able to connect with the previous owner, house movers, and some wonderful contractors (too may people to thank) that helped us assemble this home in the heart of Oak Island. Now this house has a second chance at bringing folks the joy that only a beach house can accomplish. 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 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

Amenities at Second Chances: Short distance to the surf!
Perfect location, short walk to beach. We loved the story about moving this house from Caswell beach to its current location.

House was as described. Beds comfortable, clean, kitchen had all we needed, though we did not cook. Location was great. Walked to the beach and to a couple of restaurants. Enjoy Ruby’s for breakfast and Koko Cabana for Dinner. Shopped in Southport and had A Slice of Haven for lunch (delicious). Host was easy to contact and responded quickly. We did not have any problems finding the property, accessing it, or with anything during our stay.

The house was the perfect location for us. We walked to the beach as a family. We were also able to walk to our favorite seafood store as well as some old favorite restaurants in town. The home was well stocked with equipment for cooking and a few surprise beach toys we didn’t expect. The kids enjoyed the game cabinet and especially loved the dvd collection! We watched more DVDs than streaming movies for a vintage good time:-)One thing I personally loved about the property was the artwork. It may seem minor but we love art; the owners have some great taste and we loved seeing all the lovely pieces on the walls. Added a little something special.Owners were responsive and check-in was easy. Lockbox came in handy once when the door was finicky but we only needed that once.
