We had an amazing stay at Serenity. I was a little nervous since there were no reviews about this property, but we were incredibly pleased all around. Although the furniture and rugs have seen some wear (the house allows pets which is why we stayed there since we have a small dog) the house was very clean when we arrived, the views of the sound are incredible, there are 3 kayaks available for use which we loved having, we fished off the dock, went swimming, and rented a small skiff from Hatteras Parasail that was just perfect for riding around and fishing. The four bedrooms were perfect for our family of five and small dog. The living room and sunroom gave us plenty of room to relax and spread out. Kitchen had everything we needed. A few recommendations - bring toilet paper and soap, we had one roll of TP per bathroom when we arrived and a very small soap for each bathroom. Also, bug spray is critical especially in the evening. The only thing we think could improve at the house was the bushes/trees were very overgrown and cover the pretty views from the master bedroom and views from the sunroom, a little trim on those bushes would be great. We highly recommend and would be back!
