Absolutely Amazing
This was probably the best vacation rental we have done so far! You are in a quiet neighborhood and it is a really close drive to the beach. They had everything you could think of that you might need for cooking and beach supplies. The pool was an added bonus for the days we didn't head to the beach. I hope that we can make another trip down soon. I would recommend this house to everyone!

Birthday Vacation Time and R&R
Serenity Beach Home is a spacious location that my family coming from four different locations thoroughly enjoyed! This family friendly birthday location easily accommodated everything the 10 of us wanted to do. We took advantage mostly of the family area and kitchen, backyard pool, and both the screened-in and outdoor patio. Loft had game room feel for kids. The kitchen appliances and coffee accessories with a snack box was an added touch. The location is near great seafood restaurants and multiple beaches. Easy to get in touch with property owners/sponsors. We enjoy family, good food and beach life. This birthday weekend location gets five stars on all of these! Watchout for outside driveway pavement near garage. Slight slant of uneven footing there.

Just got Taekwondo Kicks
We just left this house after a taekwondo tournament. There were 4 families, 12 total people, and we fit in the house perfectly with plenty of space! So many accommodations were provided to us!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the large size of the kitchen, plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms, and even an air hockey and ping pong table for the kids to play!
