What an awesome experience right from the start! Our hosts Rod and Brenda were so friendly and were sure to help us make the most of our time at the beach house and while exploring the area. Serendipity was an amazing place to relax and rejuvenate, waking up to beautiful views of Ocean Pond! Would recommend it to anyone needing some time away!

Amazing Sunrise, wonderful stay.

I travel quiet a bit for both work and pleasure, and I have to say our stay at the cabin was one of my most memorable. The hosts went above and beyond to cater to all of our request, and check in/out was a breeze. The view of the sunrise in the morning from the deck is stunning, perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee! I will certainly return again in the future!

Between all the options of activities (pool, card/board games, many movies to pick from, etc.) We loved every minute of this peaceful area! The deck had a lovely view over the pond for a peaceful morning sit with your coffee. We can’t wait to book again in the future!

Great spot for a Getaway!

Sweet property with very friendly and helpful hosts! Rod and Brenda treated us like family! The boathouse has a beautiful view of the lake. The inside is very well decorated and has all the amenities and fun stuff from pool table, to hockey game, karaoke machine, big screen tv and more. Outdoor activities were also available like kayaking and a paddle boat. There was also a bbq and fire pit. We had a great time!

Beautiful, quiet hideaway

We saw the pictures and description online and immediately knew this is where we wanted to spend a few days. I contacted the hosts and they were nothing but friendly and helpful from the beginning. They provided excellent directions and were quick to respond to any questions we had. The location is ideal - not far from the city, far enough off the highway you can't hear traffic with a great view. The house is clean and is equipped with everything you might need (even a bottle of wine upon arrival) - just bring some food and you are all set. There are kayaks available to you which are great for such a calm pond. If it happens to rain there is plenty to do inside - pool table, karaoke, TV with a DVD player, popcorn machine etc. Whether rain or shine you'll have something to do and won't get bored. If you need a few quiet days away from town we would highly recommend this property!

Rod and Brenda may be the most warm and welcoming hosts that we have ever had in our travels! We felt right at home in this beautiful boathouse on the water. The house itself is impeccably clean and stocked with all sorts of fun games and supplies from a pool table to a popcorn machine! We wish we could have stayed longer in this gorgeous home away from home. We loved our time there and greatly appreciated the kindness of our hosts. We did a bit of traveling and loved the central location. We agreed that this place is perfect for a lovely couples retreat where you may not plan to go anywhere too! The back porch and dock on the water let you really take in this beautiful place. We loved the decorations and aesthetic too-how often do you take pictures of the decor in a place you rent? Such a fun little gem tucked away in Newfoundland!

Weekend Getaway

I had such an amazing stay at this boathouse! The location is absolutely beautiful and there are so many things to do. I was able to go kayaking, have a fire, sing karaoke, play pool, enjoy the peaceful water on the deck, enjoy a warm bath, and so much more. The bed is so comfy, I had the best nights of sleep. The boathouse was very clean and decorated beautifully. This is a wonderful place to go to recharge, relax, and have fun. The owners are extremely kind, were very helpful, easy to contact, and available any time of the day. I highly highly recommend going here :)
