A Beautiful Retreat for Three Generations

Three generations found rest,beauty,& joy at Serenity South. Thoughtful touches,beautiful gardens and Cape charm made this more than a stay-it became a treasured memory. We were so appreciative of the details, the fresh flowers, homemade cookies, the coffeemaker upstairs and the books and games. The beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed this historical home and our stay.

The property was exactly as listed with so many little touches that made it special. Communication was great and we were close to downtown shops and the casino. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Perfect home for college visit

When looking for a VRBO for our daughter's college visit, we knew the perfect place to stay! This is our second stay at Serenity South and it was just as incredible as the first visit. Clean, inviting and cozy. Thanks Jo for another beautiful stay.

Wonderful home!

We needed a place to stay and most of the hotel had no vacancy. Booked 2 nights at this lovely quaint older home and couldn’t have been more pleased. Definitely worth booking again.
