Had a good time. The house swayed more than any house on stilts I’ve ever stayed in. Close to beach, clean, outdoor shower was nice, community is nice. Plenty of kids for our 4 year old to play with at the park and pool. All and all good time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad you had a good time at Serenity Villa and enjoyed the close beach access, outdoor shower, and family-friendly community and pool. I’m sorry the house felt swayer than expected — we appreciate the feedback and will pass it along to maintenance and the owner to review. We hope to host you again for an even better stay.

Loved the house we stayed in. Neighborhood was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet.. the only thing that I wished would have been, they would have like sprayed for mosquitoes cause the mosquitoes were terrible. Other than that, you could not beat the house none of the above it’s just we couldn’t even stay outside and we would have to put off on us before we even walked out the door.

Overall, a very good stay. The setup of the house was perfect for my family of 6. Kitchen was well stocked with all utensils and pots/pans. The pool was close and easily accessible. I appreciated the outdoor shower to have warm water ran. My only issues were the TV router having to be reset via the breaker. This was a back and forth trying to nail down what was wrong with the televisions. We got caught with some bad weather and with 2 toddlers, it made for some interesting afternoons without their favorite show. Also, I appreciated the fact of a having a dishwasher, I just wish it worked. Seems to have a power/electrical issue. Other than that, we would definitely stay again.
