The house was perfect for us. It was very clean and is just as described in the listing. We rented the bikes and enjoyed riding around Seacrest and Rosemary Beach.

Perfect week at Serenity

We’ve visited Seacrest several times now but this was our first stay at Serenity. The house is in a great location in the neighborhood, and was extremely comfortable and well furnished. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need for our week long stay. The property managers were super responsive during the booking process and we had absolutely no issues during the stay. We lucked up and had perfect weather. We loved that the property was pet friendly. We hope to stay here again sometime.
