Perfect Family-Friendly Property

We love Emerald Shores and have stayed in three other houses in this community. Serendipity is by far our favorite property! The layout is spacious and the three full bathrooms were wonderful for four adults and four children.

Family Vacation

Darlene was amazing! She was very responsive and answer all questions and gave information prior to arrival. The house was great, had everything we needed for our stay. It was located close to both pools and a quick walk to the beach, the tram was a great bonus as well! I would definitely be staying again when we go back!

Not Our First Visit

We have stayed in this location a couple of times. The beach access is a plus and having a couple of pools available is great alternative. The house at 10 Onix is well appointed and very comfortable.

Serendipity House

We had a great time. Darlene helped us get checked in early. The house was great. A really nice kitchen considering we like to cook on vacation. A lot of upgrades compared to other houses in Emerald Shores. We will return.
