This was a great property with a good location! It was very relaxing and really enjoyed watching the dolphins swim by everyday. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you would need.

Amazing Location & Beautiful Home!
My family and I had an amazing vacation. The location is one of the most gorgeous beaches on the gulf. The home is very clean and very comfortable. The only complaint I had was the master bed was extremely FIRM and to get to the beach you have to exit through a bedroom. However, the manager, Chris, was very helpful. He gave us the code for the side beach entrance. He was very helpful and responded immediately. Chris also check in to see if I had any questions or needed anything upon our arrival. We will definitely be repeat renters.

Great Vacation
Our extended family of 11 stayed at Serenity by the Sea over spring break week this year. It was not our first trip to Florida, but was our first trip to Destin. Out of all of the beach homes we’ve stayed in this one was our favorite. It was very clean, it came stocked better than any of our previous rentals, had plenty of space for 11 of us, and had a great location and beach view. We would definitely recommend this one!

The beach is fabulous and very nice to have the beach chairs set up every day. The house was perfect t for our group of five senior women. The manager was very responsive when we had a few needed repairs and it was taken care of immediately and cheerfully. Our only criticism would be that the pans and some of the kitchen utensils needed replacing. Instructions on how to operate the tv's was not available. All in all a terrific place to spend the week. No regrets.

Wow great place
This place is fabulous! So very well stocked! Great location! Plan to use again. There was one negative and that is on 3rd floor there was a very bad moldy smell. They must know it is a problem because there was an air purifier in the closet to use. Gave me a headache. The smell never went away. You could see mold on air vent but hard to believe that is what it came from. I just tried to only go up there for bed. Hopefully they can fix that because we plan on staying again.

Great Winter Getaway
The Townhouse is located in a perfect location, easy access to everything and perfectly located on the beach. The house was updated, clean and big. Plenty of room for an entire family +. The Kitchen had everything necessary and more. Thanks for having a Keurig :-). Only issue we found was the outdoor, downstairs patio, around the dipping pool. The tiles were brought to my attention as they were undergoing a repair (they were broken with some outside tiles of the balcony falling off (so out made it look messy) there was sand or loose Grout in the bottom of the pool and bird droppings floating in the bottom (I originally though they were little curled up worms of some sort) I cleaned them out just to end up with more mid week, that's how we found out it was bird droppings as they were on patio tile also. The pool guy did show up while we were away and was parked in our driveway when we returned, but not found at the pool when we walked in and pool wasn't cleaned out prior to him leaving. One of the pool chaise cushions was tattered pretty bad and the inside foam sticking out, I found it wasn't worth complaining about. FYI: this cushion needs replacing and a few of the step boards are splitting (dont walk barefoot on the steps to beach, you can get bad spinners) Other than the pool patio and pool, the house is an awesome place to book your stay. We stayed in a lot and just sat on balconies (3 to choose from) and cooked and sat out to listed to the waves.

The house was everything just as described. My friends and I had such a wonderful time. The owners started us with all of the toiletries needed and the kitchen was just enough for our daily chef to cook and serve extraordinary meals. The only issue I had was air conditioning.and that was likely user error. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and if I have my way, I’ll/we’ll be back next year!
