10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
This is a beautiful, fully stocked home in a prime location. The kayaks and life jackets were in great condition, easy to access, and easy to use. Nice dock for sitting and fishing. There are neighbors but it's a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood and the neighbors on both sides were friendly and didn't bother. The sunrise in the morning is glorious but can be very bright through the big windows and there are no curtains to block the sun. The grill worked well and grill utensils are stocked in the kitchen. The ice maker was broken but the freezer had many, many ice cube trays to keep on top of needs. This is an example of how the owners care about your stay. The blue "Serenity" sign is way easier to see than the house number - watch for that. There's an excellent party store down the road that has everything you need - including bait. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

We had a lovely stay. Very peaceful and quiet. The oven buttons were “broken” in such a way that it made me uncomfortable to press them. They work but there is a hole on one that you kinda reach into it to press. Otherwise the stay was great. The hot tub is fabulous especially in the cold winter! It was so easy to find and not far from being able to go and explore other areas. It was only 2 of us with 2 dogs but we would have no problem bringing our 3 kids and still having ample space. It was a great house!
