Lovely as always

Moving our daughter in to the dorm at SEMO for yr 2. Been coming to this location since our trip here during her senior year of HS when she visited SEMO to audition for the musical theatre program. It is a great place to stay when you have more than 2 people.

Serenity south was welcoming comfortable and very clean. Impeccably maintained historic home. Comfortable beds, great water pressure and shower head, easy to maintain consistent temperature. Good vibes throughout. Not haunted. Beautiful outdoor space but it was too hot to use it much while we were there. Recommend stopping by the olive oil store William and Water across the street.

A Beautiful Retreat for Three Generations

Three generations found rest,beauty,& joy at Serenity South. Thoughtful touches,beautiful gardens and Cape charm made this more than a stay-it became a treasured memory. We were so appreciative of the details, the fresh flowers, homemade cookies, the coffeemaker upstairs and the books and games. The beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed this historical home and our stay.

Perfect home for college visit

When looking for a VRBO for our daughter's college visit, we knew the perfect place to stay! This is our second stay at Serenity South and it was just as incredible as the first visit. Clean, inviting and cozy. Thanks Jo for another beautiful stay.

This property is excellent

This is an older home (1920’s?) with so much charm. It’s exceptionally well cared for - the floors are clean and in excellent condition, the walls are clean, paint job is beautiful, etc. The air is clean (no smell of mold) bathroom fans work, etc! In short, one of the best maintained rentals we’ve stayed in. The beds are comfy. Oh - and the landscaping is also beautiful! It is winter - would love to see the gardens in the spring. Jo was easy to contact, check in was easy. The trains do run 1 or 2 times per night and are close and on Friday night there were some people having fun running their loud cars through town but otherwise it is quiet and peaceful. The walk to town is only a few blocks. We would definitely stay here again!

Great stay!

This was the second year in a row that we have stayed here. This is a beautiful home to stay in. I love the charm and detail of the house. We stay here after a Christmas party and walk downtown so it’s definitely located in a convenient spot. I will be booking again for next year Great communication with Jo and if there’s any questions I need, Jo is very quick to respond. Thank you for making our stay good!
