The view of the beach was good and the pool was very nice. It was pretty, very clean, and had everything we needed. The beach locker was stocked with everything necessary for a day at the beach, and the walk to the beach was short and easy for my 78 year old mother. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. Gloria is an exceptional host, quick to respond and very nice. Thinking about booking here again for our trip next year. ##### Crystal D.

Our stay at this condo in Serenity by the Sea was absolutely perfect! The unit was clean and perfect size for a couple. Could see two kids also being comfortable in the space. We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying coffee on the balcony with an ocean view. The beach was just steps away and never felt crowded—truly a hidden gem. The kitchen had everything we needed, the best appointed with all you could need. The location is great—close to local restaurants, shops, and activities, but still quiet and peaceful. The host was wonderful and made everything so easy. We can’t wait to come back! ##### Shelley V.

We stayed with our two children (ages 6 & 8) and it was the perfect fit! It was kid friendly, easily accessible to the beach and pool and exactly as I had expected. I loved having access to the beach shed, this made traveling to and from the beach and pool so much easier. We were vacationing with a few other families who didn’t have this with their condo and we quickly realized how much of a benefit it was to our stay. Another thing that I loved was that we were provided with many of the essentials when we got there - i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, soap for the sinks, this was super helpful especially the first day when we hadn’t yet gotten to the store to purchase anything. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I do think for families it is important to note that the beach is very busy, we got down there pretty early to put up our tent and save our spot. Also the tide goes very far up the beach, be aware of this if you leave anything down there, thinking you will come back later. ##### Meredith D.

We totally lucked out in finding this gem. The location was perfection and everything was just as described. Serenity by the Sea fit my family perfect. The bath and a half with the washer/dryer suited this family of 3\. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/84705b8c-e86f-449e-8133-9a9da2a82fff-1753567646893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicole G.

Wide range of people at the complex making it a great place to say hi or strike a conversation with a condo neighbot. The condo is supplied and has everything you would need. Short ride or walk to restaurants and shops. Cannot wait to return. The owner is gracious and answers your messages. This was our second visit and we plan on coming back. ##### Kimberly W.
