Our family vacation was very enjoyable at Serenity Now. The house is beautifully laid out and exceptionally maintained. The entire property was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was very well equipped and that made cooking a breeze. Every single member of our party (8 adults and a toddler) simply loved the tastefully furnished rooms and thoughtful amenities. Convenient to both the ocean and the sound, the location couldn't be more ideal. The fact that it is near the major shopping area in town was another plus. Need to relax and find your inner peace? I recommend Serenity Now.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you all so much! We want every family to have the kind of vacation we enjoy. Hope to see you again next year! David n Trish

Our family vacationed at Serenity Now during July of 2012. What a magnificent location. The pictures and description do not do this property justice. The home is located in a beautiful subdivision in the Village of Avon. There are no less than 5 great beach access points within a 10 min walk or drive. The pool and hot tub are great for an evening swim and soak. The kids loved the arcade game. We will stay here again the next time we visit OBX.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at our home. We look forward to hearing from you guys next summer!

The weather was beautiful when we arrived, and stayed that way for about 3 days. After that, so-so. The house, however, was great :). We found it clean and well-equipped. In 20 years of vacationing on the Outer Banks, this was one of the nicer beach homes we've stayed in. The owners are very nice, and easy to contact even though they live out of the country. Shore Details is great as well. I would recommend Serenity Now to anyone wishing to visit Hatteras Island :)Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Owner response: We're so glad you and your family had fun! As long-time Hatteras Island vacationers ourselves, we know the weather can change by the minute and beach or pool play is not always an option. So we'll be adding many more "rainy day" activities to the home...Foosball and Playstation coming soon!

Four of my friends and myself have been going to Hatteras Island for 30 years plus, not always together, and all of us agreed that this house (Serenity Now) is the best place we have ever stayed at. Over a 30 year period of time, five people can stay in a lot of different houses but by far this has to be the best. The description of the house is right on the money. The property is very clean and well maintained.The owner was very helpful, he had an answer for all of my questions. I would recommend this house to any of my friends or relatives. If you like peace and quiet, this is the place for you. I have made a reservation for next year. It fills up fast.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, age 55+, tourists without a car.

This was the first time my family has ever taken a vacation like this and it couldn't have been better! This house is better than it's described and fit our needs perfectly. Having each bedroom have it's own private bathroom was fantastic and sitting on our deck off the bedroom was the best way to start each day. We would spend the morning at the beach (which truly is a 5 minute walk) and the afternoon by our "own" pool. There is also a free public pool by Hatteras Realty (not the one in the development) that a couple of our family members used to swim laps. Having the grocery store 2 minutes away was also a big positive. We did take the ferry to Ocracoke Island which in our opinion was a waste of time. Waiting in the long lines to get back on the ferry to come back was frustrating and there really wasn't anything there to see. Howards Pub was good (we had dinner there) but honestly the meals we prepared were better and more cost efficient. We really had no reason to leave the neighborhood. Owner was extremely easy to deal with and answered all of our questions during the transaction. We were a family of 8 and didn't even need the 5th bedroom....so much room to spread out. Loved every minute of our time there!!Recommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, age 55+, girls getaway.

This is a very beautiful rental with all the comforts of home. The spacious common quarters in addition to the bedrooms with their own baths made the stay extremely pleasant.

What a beautiful home for a vacation destination. It did not take us long to unpack, settle in, and make it our own, for the week. Delightful time spent there. We give this a 5 star rating.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 7/7

Serenity Now is the perfect house for our extended family of 10. Enough room to spread out for privacy, but great spaces to come together. Connecting with the outdoors is crucial to me, and having the many porches and decks, as well as the wonderful bank of windows in the kitchen really connected us to the outdoors. Have rented quite a few vacation homes but this one is by far the best one ever for families. Nice pool and hot tub, 5 minute or less walk to ocean, and great neighborhood for riding bikes and early morning walks! Owner is courteous, helpful, and very easy to reach in case of a question. A positive experience start to finish.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 5/5
