PERFECT SPOT!!

This is my family’s second time at Serenity Pointe and it was just as wonderful! We enjoy the beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. Perfect location to be away but close enough to great food and shopping.

Already Looking To Book Again!

We had a wonderful time at this property! It was very clean and the view is amazing! There were lots of fish caught. We enjoyed watching the osprey and dolphins as well. We also enjoyed a trip to Oriental to walk around the shops and art gallery. We hope to return soon!

Beyond Peaceful

This home was perfect. From the host description, the decor, the dock, and the well stocked kitchen. We were comfortable as we enjoyed the sunrise, spent time on our boat docked on property, and even a nice fire to round out the evening. A perfect place for the 7 of us. We may return.

THIS Place!!!

For my family, this was just the BEST place to stay! Definitely off the beaten path, which was just perfect, right there on the river, ideal weather, what more could anyone want or need? Roasted marshmallows @ the fire-pit, such fun messiness. My daughter, first time kayaker (on sight), was a natural (who knew?!). Just be careful on the slippery algae going toward the river, as well as the jellyfish in the river. Enjoyed family game night w/ Trivial Pursuit (on sight). We are all, already talking about getting together again @ this beautiful spot in the near future! A Happy Fun time was had by all! Beth May (owner), very prompt in replies and additional help as needed.

Peaceful and relaxing

My family and I were looking for a peaceful place to relax but within a short distance to restaurants and shopping. We found it all here! The house is beautiful and met all of our needs. We spent lots of time outside enjoying the surrounding views. The sunroom on the back of the house was a great bonus to our stay with great views of the river. Also, the road where the house is located is a great place for a walk. I would highly recommend this place!
