On top of that the pool is great and private, and the house, while in a community/cul de sac, feels so private and isolated. The large back yard is great for the doggies to run. LOVED that each bedroom had its own private bathroom. This is a fantastic property. The teens liked that there were lots of restaurants, shopping, walmart, grocery stores all 1 mile away from the house. Thank you! ##### Amanda S.

Perfect home for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, swimming in the pool, going to the beach, or staying home and cooking and relaxing. The home itself seems so secluded, but it is also conveniently located close to shopping areas. The owner is fantastic. ##### Thomas B.

There is so much to love about this place. The location is perfect - close to a couple of grocery stores. The house is quiet and private. And Ron is the perfect host. Serene Dream is truly a hidden gem of Southern Shores! ##### Tamara O. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard N. 2 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation House, amenities and grounds were all excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was always something to do both inside and outside. Had a blast discovering what the OBX are about from the historic end to the beach end. Comforting knowing you had the house to come back to and continue the day with fishing, crabbing or inside game room. The house was stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. The hosts were very friendly and responsive when needed. All and all a great time. Peaceful and relaxing ##### Richard N.

Ron, the owner, was exceptional to work with... kind, generous, helpful, answered all questions, and most of all, a very caring man. It had been quite a few years since we'd been to OBX so this visit/stay was special. And the weather for this time of year was perfect! I highly recommend this property for family and friends to gather for any occasion... wonderful location! ##### Gloria W. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenny D. 22 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best stay we've ever had We loved everything about this property. The house is gorgeous with everything you would need. Trees on the sides and front give it a very private feel and is on a cul-de-sac so there is virtually no traffic. The back yard is right on the canal and provides a very peaceful setting and view. Shopping for groceries and a Walmart is very convenient at less than a mile away. The owner of the property was great to deal with and contacted us to make sure that everything was satisfactory. We would definitely choose here again on our next trip to the Outer Banks. ##### Kenny D. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill A. 22 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### "Best. Trip. Ever! A Fun and Fabulous Getaway!" Initially, we were a bit nervous about not being Oceanside, but we quickly realized it was the perfect mix of ocean and sound waters! This place has everything you could ever dream of—an amazing kitchen, spacious and comfy bedrooms, a fun game room, and an incredible outdoor living space! Everything, from the pool to the hot tub to the living spaces, was sparkling clean. The canal location was a bonus for fishing, crabbing, and kayaking. There’s something for everyone to enjoy! The ocean is just a hop, skip, and jump away! We loved the privacy and seclusion of this spot. A definite 10/10 from the Aldrich family! Ron and Marianne are the sweetest and super responsive! We’ve been coming to OBX for years, and this house is hands down our favorite. We can’t wait to book again! ##### Jill A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy H. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful, relaxing vacation at Serene Dream We had a wonderful vacation at Serene Dream with our family - kids and grandchildren. The grandchildren were ages 9-19\. The house was great. It was a lovely home and had something for everyone from the well appointed kitchen, to the game room for the kids, to the pool for all. The parking passes to the private parking for those who wanted to go to the beach were a life saver to keep from having to hunt for and pay for parking. A couple of the older kids rode bikes one day that were there in the garage. We cooked on the grill every day. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the fishing and crabbing from the backyard. You really didn't have to leave the house if you didn't want, but if you did, everything was right there nearby and easy to get to. However, you would never know it by the way the house was tucked away in the cul-de-sac and trees on the water and was so peaceful. The owners were so nice and easy to get along with. We will definitely plan on staying here again. ##### Wendy H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine T. 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Location and Property Our family thoroughly enjoyed our spring break stay at this VRBO location. The convenient location made it easy to go to the beach, the store, and wonderful restaurants. We were traveling with two 12 year old boys and needed an area where they could ride their bikes unsupervised without the worry of dangerous traffic. The boys found nearby parks and trails leading to the beach plus many areas to safety ride their bikes.The property had basketball, large yard to pass ball, a recreation room and the canal to fish, so the family had plenty to do even when it rained. The location was close to the unique area of the Duck shopping center (always a favorite pastime.) The home was so well laid out with plenty of room for my husband and daughter to work. Each bedroom had access to their own bathrooms and televisions. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and plenty of eating spaces. The hot tub was conveniently located off of the great room. Our hosts were excellent to work with and provided answers to all of our questions! We all were very delighted with our stay! ##### Katherine T.

He never mentioned anything about the air conditioning unit not working properly on the second floor. He called to tell me there was a gift certificate for cookies and we would have to pay a few dollars because they increased their prices. His daughter was at the house and she used one and had to pay. He was upset that the cookie company was charging us. He should have informed us about the air conditioner when he called. As posted in the previous review on September 6,2023, the air conditioning was not functioning on the second floor. We arrived on September 9, and still not working. Ron offered to reimburse us for fans and inflatable mattresses. There were 3 fans at the house when we arrived. His daughter was there the week before we arrived. The nighttime temperatures were cooler than our week. The upstairs nighttime temperature was 83\. We carried mattresses downstairs so everyone could sleep where it was comfortable. Our granddaughter slept in the primary closet. Our son slept in the dining room. It is a beautiful home at a great location. We enjoyed the pool and the beach not far from the homeWe had a wonderful time and made the best of the situation. Ron did refund us an additional $100.00 stating it was what he would have reimbursed us for an inflatable mattress. We paid for five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and a huge game room. We could not use two bedrooms, one bathroom and the game room. ##### Margie E.

My family has stayed at Serene Dream multiple times, the home, property, location, and owner engagement never disappoints! Very close access to the beach w/private beach parking. Secluded away on a beautiful lot on the canal. Fishing, kayaking, and swimming in the private pool all on the property makes this home one of the best vacation destinations. ##### Julie S.

My family absolutely loves this place. It is in a quiet neighborhood that is just minutes away from anything you could want to do at the beach. This location offers the quiet comfort that I need to recharge my batteries and is close enough for the rest of the family that wants to be on the go. Ron is the best host and will address any need asap. He will even call to check on you during your stay and tell you to call him if you need anything at all. Doesn't get any better than this in my opinion. ##### John B.
