If I visit my second home and spend the day and night there but have to do remote work for the company I work for at my second home, can I still count it as a personal day as long as I am not doing work on the property itself?

That is not an income tax question. Have a conversation with your employer about whether they count that as working from home or as a personal day.

Yes, as long as you are not engaged in repair and maintenance, on a substantially full time basis, on the property, the day would count as a personal use day when you are using it for personal purposes (including working at your primary job).

Yes, but i rent my second home and use it for personal use days. If I am using the second home for personal use, but in this case sometimes working remotely for the company I work for at my second home, can I count that as a personal use day?
