Come enjoy Serenity by the Sea - private, quiet, but close to everything.

Come enjoy what we enjoy about our home: the peace that comes from walking on the beach in the morning with a great cup of coffee, the quiet of an oak tree covered neighborhood reminiscent of old Florida, and the closeness to so many great places to eat, things to do, and sites to see. We call our home Serenity by the Sea because that is what it is to us. We are located in an area called The Hammocks, between the Florida Intracoastal waterway and the Atlantic Ocean just across the bridge from Palm Coast, FL. It is truly a Floridian paradise, with the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean beach and protected natural lands full of large Spanish moss-draped Oak trees. We are 8/10 tenths of a mile from MalaCompra Road Beachfront Park; 3/10 tenths of a mile from Bing’s Landing Park, 3/10 tenths of a mile from MalaCompra Greenway Mountain Biking and Hiking Trails, and several unique and awesome restaurants. We are 30 minutes south of Historic St. Augustine and 30 minutes north of Daytona Beach. There are a lot of things to do nearby and yet lots of opportunities to do little but enjoy the peace, quiet, and serenity of the area. Our home features two bedrooms each with their own flatscreen TV, two bathrooms, a comfortable living area with a full-size pull-out sofa bed for overflow and kids, a fully stocked kitchen, parking for three vehicles, and all the things you would need for a beach vacation including plenty of chairs, coolers, a beach umbrella and an outdoor shower with hot water for after the beach. We provide towels, bedding, dish soap, dishwasher pods, garbage bags, paper towels, and toilet paper for your use. We have a great coffee bar with an espresso machine, bean grinder, and an automatic drip coffee maker. We also have a great Belgium waffle iron and an electric ice cream machine. We love spending time here and know that you will as well. We have a fenced in back yard, with string lighting, a paver brick patio, outdoor table, gas grill, and outdoor gas fire pit. Our home is pet friendly with some restrictions.

Cozy Little Getaway
Our stay at Serenity by the Sea was delightful. The home was extremely clean, every room was nicely decorated, and the backyard was so peaceful and relaxing. Darrel and Marie truly thought of everything needed for a comfortable stay. They took extra care to provide us with detailed information about the property including directions to the closest resturants and grocery stores to how to navigate the streaming services, etc. . .having this additional information made our stay extra nice. A huge thank you to Darrel and Marie for a wonderful stay!

Loved our visit!
This was our 2nd stay in Serenity by the Sea. My parents used to live in the area and my husband & I love returning to our 'home away from home' now that they're gone. We loved the house, location and the hosts/owners were so kind and helpful. All the way around, a lovely spot we enjoy so much. We will return again. Thanks so much Serenity by the Sea. 10 out of 10 for everything!

Hammock/Palm Coast, Flagler County is a beautiful hammock between Flagler Beach and St. Augustine. The area is a fabulous location with numerous destinations within very comfortable distance on foot, bike or car. There are even good restaurants in close proximity and the host’s book has great suggestions and photos. The hosts could not have been more accommodating and responsive. The house was clean, well furnished, comfortable beds, with more special extras than imaginable. More things than one can list but some are: full coffee bar experience, blender, waffle maker, fully equipped kitchen with great appliances. Great washer, dryer, dish washer, numerous bicycles in good condition ready to ride, beach chairs, towels, etc. fenced yard and deck which our standard poodle enjoyed with shade, beautiful oaks and plants. This was a really great find and we will surely return.

True Serenity by The Sea
We had a wonderful experience at Serenity by the Sea and will definitely be back again. We need to in the return in the Spring to complete some family business and if available, look forward to another stay at this lovely house. The location at the end of a quiet, jungle like street is a perfect setting. Listening to the ocean at night while sitting on the patio under Spanish Moss draped trees is a magical experience. We truly loved our stay and look forward to coming back.

Peaceful Summer Retreat
This well maintained Palm Coast house offers clean and modern amenities tucked away in a pleasant enclave of old coastal Florida nature. The closest beach is uncrowded and excellent for bird watching. There is a delightful fresh seafood market around the corner. Everything from the bedding, decor and streaming media to the landscaping and outdoor spaces provide comfort and tranquility. Thanks so much for creating this calming home away from home : )

Wonderful vacation week!
This was our second year coming to Palm Coast! It was a wonderful visit with our family! The house was fully stocked with games/toys for the kids, lots of great tv apps, generous amounts of towels and all the kitchen items you’ll need! The beach items and outdoor shower were a great plus! We will definitely look into staying again next year for our family vacation! Thank you for being wonderful hosts and checking in with us throughout the stay!

Perfect quiet spot for us!
My husband and I spent 4 relaxing nights here with our 2 small dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better place. The house, from outside appears small, but it is beautiful, clean and very spacious once you open the front door and step inside. The backyard is fully fenced and the dogs loved it! From TV's in every room to plenty of dishes, appliances and all things needed for cooking. Lots of restaurant choices over the bridge, a short drive away. There's a quiet beach down the street that the dogs loved, too. If we return to this area, we will definitely stay at this perfect spot!

Spring Break getaway
The house was immaculate and fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Fenced in backyard was great for our dog. The beach was just around the corner and was also very nice and pet friendly. We drove to Orlando to Universal Studios and also to St. Augustine one day to shop and explore. Both are easily within driving distance. We loved our stay here and will definitely be returning in the future!

We loved Serenity by the Sea!
This was a perfect setting for a great vacation. The home is very well-equipped and the fenced back yard provided peace of mind with us for our pup. Walk or bike to the beach, the park, trails, a fresh fish market, the ICW ... for us, an ideal location in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty to explore in the area if you like to be on the go and plenty of opportunity just to chill if that's your vibe. Some of our highlights included kayaking with Ripple Effects at Marineland, exploring the quiet solitude of Princess Place Preserve (lots of preserves in area), and finding local honey up the A1A at Donna's Honey Hut. Hosts were excellent communicators and very responsive. Thank you, Darrell and Marie. We would 100% stay here again!

Serenity by the sea
We loved the location--could hear the ocean; friendly neighbors; beautiful and comfortable home. Near to good eating and boat landing. Far enough from city to be quiet and peaceful yet close enough for convenience. We were happy to find a Catholic church just a short drive away. Owners had thought of everything we could need or want.

Perfect for the 2 of us and our dog!
My husband and I stayed with our small dog (12 lbs) for 5 nights. The space, layout and yard were perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was so well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. We ate out mostly, but not because we needed to - there are plenty of supplies if we wanted to cook at the home. We aren't really coffee people, but the coffee bar is really cute and well put together although we didn't use it. We visited days after hurricane Ian, so the back yard had SOME debris (not much at all), but could tell that on a good day, the landscaping would be beautiful! It's fenced in nicely with no gaps (to allow escapees) and was great for our dog to run around and burn some energy. There is plenty of room and seating to sit outside and relax. I really liked the floor plan because the master suite and the second bedroom/bathroom were on separate sides of the home, so there is plenty of privacy should you have 4 adults or a family. The bed in the master (didn't sleep in the other) was so comfy and having the ceiling fan and TV in the room gave it all the comforts of home. The living room was also SUPER cozy - I don't feel that way in rentals usually, but the furniture was great (side tables for a beverage, plenty of room on coffee table and comfy couches). This living room was also STOCKED - video games, books, board games you name it! We didn't spend a ton of time there, but if we were traveling with kids, they would have been entertained in the home if there was a rain day. There were bikes in the garage and plenty of things if you were going to the beach. We weren't able to use them due to our schedule, but would love to come back to do so. The area has a sidewalk on A1A to allow you to ride the bikes safely. The neighborhood felt really safe - everyone was friendly and I was not worried when walking my dog alone. The location is close to SEVERAL restaurants - like walking distance close. Everything was really clean and well maintained. Communication with the host was great - super fast responses to any questions we had. We had to work a couple days and the WiFi was strong enough for both of us to work and have the TV streaming at the same time. Overall, I would 100% stay here again if we are in the area. This was hands down the best rental we have stayed at!
