Beautiful seaside weekend
This is such a gorgeous space! Clean, fully equipped and beautiful views. Waking up to deer right outside the window was magical. Tanya & Terry are fabulous, warm, welcoming hosts - the welcome basket was such a wonderful treat. We had a lovely stay here, and had no trouble driving out to the regional parks to explore during our weekend. Thanks for such a beautiful stay :)

Serenity, indeed!
Sea of Serenity was exactly as the photos potrayed. Tanya and Terry were wonderful hosts, with helpful suggestions for activities. The suite was simply and tastefully furnished, with all the amenities. A lovely gift basket for breakfast meant we did not need to stop at a grocers.The views of the Olympic Peninsula were good, and seals and sea lions were sighted. We highly reccommend this location!

Among the best!
We spent 4 nights at Sweet Serenity Retreat. My husband and I have stayed at many VRBO's worldwide and this is added to our list of "the best". Tanya and Terry have thoughtfully seen to every detail to assure a memorable and relaxing experience. The very large studio provided plenty of space, the king size bed and luxury linens were divine, the kitchen was well stocked and the welcome basket provided lovely breakfasts for us. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy this accommodation. Joan & Cam

This was one of the most unique and beautiful properties we have ever stayed. The view of the water and mountains was so peaceful!

Serenity Indeed!
From start to finish, this was a beautiful relaxing stay. Tanya and Terry made our stay very comfortable with the addition of a welcome tray filled with goodies, an upscale unit with attention to details and great communication throughout our visit. We ventured out to Botanical Beach in Port Renfrew and did some amazing beach combing at low tide. Then off to the big tree forests to take in some forest bathing. There is so much to see. And back at Sea of Serenity, you can walk among the geese, eagles and deer!! Overlooking the ocean, this property is a true delight!!

Standard for Judging Others
All the little details and thoughtful considerations made the Sea of Serenity clearly a cut above most Studio spaces. We found ourselves comparing our next accommodations to the Sea of Serenity, but they came up short. We would highly recommend Sea of Serenity. But maybe we should keep it a secret. Did I mention the amazing view.

Absolutely fantastic!
We do a trip to the coast twice a year and stay in a VRBO property each time. While we have enjoyed each property this one ranks at the top. From the great communication during booking, through the early check in, thoughtful welcome tray, cleanliness, location and hospitality each experience was outstanding. Enjoyed our time and will be back.

The property is exactly as advertised. The check-in was a bit confusing (but that could just be because of COVID). The area was very quiet. Only geese and seals could be heard. There was a very lovely welcome tray for us (bread, eggs, butter, coffee- all local). The view was spectacular!

Great place
We enjoyed our stay here. The owners were very nice and the property was clean and well kept. The location is great. While we loved the place, the listing didn't quite communicate that it is a converted garage space attached to a much larger house. That being said, it was still nice, the breakfast basket they provided was great, and we would definitely stay again.

Home away from home but better
We had the most amazing weekend at this charming home. The place was so cute and comfortable. We checked in, found a tray of delicious bread, farm fresh eggs, fruit etc. I have never been so relaxed in my life! To wake up, open up both garage doors to an amazing view and enjoy coffee and wine in the evening. Saw a deer & baby stroll by in the yard. Why would we travel when we have a beautiful peace of paradise right here. We will go back for sure!!!!!

What a perfect studio apartment....top quality furnishings, excellent kitchen outfitting, luxury linens. Tonya and Terry are great hosts and were there to welcome us and show us around as well as to see us off. We loved the incredible view and were so grateful for the garage doors that did indeed "bring the outdoors in". We saw rabbits, robins and deer in the yard and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this amazing home. This was a very special rental and felt like a cozy home. Would love to go back again.
