House is beautiful, with plenty of room. The decks and pool area are a great place to gather. Landscaping was beautiful and well maintained.
The top floor sun deck provides amazing views of the sunset and star gazing.
Check in was easy, and the location is great. Just a short walk to the beach and restaurants/bars on Folly.
I would recommend this home to anyone, it is a great property.

Literally, a perfect stay. From communication on the booking to simple check-out steps, everything was amazing. The house is wonderful and the location is ideal. We were able to walk to the beach and downtown for meals. The gas fire pit on the upper balcony made for a perfect setting to watch the sunset and relax. We will definitely be back!

This house was perfect for our family’s Thanksgiving get together. We had multiple generations together for the holiday and the house accommodated us all perfectly with the bunk room for kids and several guest rooms for the adults. The house interior is beautiful and the kitchen was well supplied (something we appreciated greatly when making Thanksgiving dinner). The backyard is a beautiful garden oasis and I’m sure must be even more enjoyable when the weather is warmer. The gym was also a nice bonus.

House was just as depicted online. Nice pool in a private well landscaped back yard. Plenty of beach chairs and towels to accommodate everyone in our party. Kitchen was well equipped. Short walk to the little town of Folly Beach as well as the beach. My favorite touch - toilet paper, paper towels, soaps etc. were provided to get you started! Hosts were very reachable to communicate with.

I gave 5 stars to everything asked. Amanda was great and always communicated with me! Not sure why there is a four there but it should be a 5 plus!
We were there with 6 adults and 5 kids, ages 4-16. There was room and something for all. The kitchen was very well equipped! We could walk wherever. If was a very fun place to stay!

We would give this home 6-Stars. The home is absolutely gorgeous with everything you could want - fitness room, resort pool & patio, firepit and amazing rooftop patio. Also, the rental is well stocked with cleaning and cooking supplies. It's an absolute 5-star+ experience and the location is the best on the island only 2 -3 blocks from the bars & restaurants and beach. Also, the hosts are very gracious and responsive. They really care that everything is perfect.

Every single lady in our group of 10 gives this house a 10 out of 10!!!! Absolutely the most fabulous house and the very best location! We enjoyed the house, the warm pool and the fantastic foods/nightlife in Folly Beach. Perfect distance to Charleston for day trips and not far from Savannah, GA if you wanted to spend a day there too! Thank you to Pat and Amanda for sharing your home with us and being so incredibly responsive to our numerous questions!

This home is very unique in style and design. Obviously artist owned. Landscape is beautiful and serene. Great home for a large group. Kitchen is fully equipped! Pool was not clean. Deck and pool area had a good bit of debris. Primary bedroom needed much nicer sheets and a cotton mattress pad over the waterproof pad would have been much more comfortable. Also, primary BR does not have blackout curtains. There was a good bit of light that came in at night and room is bright as soon as the sun starts to rise.

Serenity Shores was absolutely amazing in every way. It was beautiful, clean and looked exactly like the photos posted. There were 12 of us who stayed there ranging in age from 21 to 82 and everyone was happy and comfortable. Everything we could have possibly wanted or needed was there. The beds were comfortable, the water pressure in the house was great and the kitchen was stocked with every appliance, and kitchen cook ware and utensil you would need to prepare any meal. The washer and dryer worked great and the laundry room was stocked with laundry detergent, clorox and everything you would need to do laundry. The furniture on the front porch, the deck and the pool area was super comfortable. The back yard was amazing and was perfect for us for entertaining. The pool was wonderful and very relaxing, especially at night. There were several grills and a pizza oven. The gym was also a huge hit and the equipment worked great and was perfect for a work out of any intensity. The location was perfect and only a short walk to the pier, beach and local eating establishments. It was safe and we were comfortable walking to the beach and pier at night also. While here, my family had also rented a second vrbo a few houses down from Serenity Shores and a Hotel downtown. Serenity Shores was everyone’s favorite and served as the hangout and meeting place for everyone. In addition, Amanda was an awesome hostess. She was very accommodating and exceeded my expectations.

The property exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The owners have literally everything at your disposal….we only needed to bring our clothes! The house is beautiful, clean, accommodating for all age ranges. My husband and I took my in-laws (75 +) to visit our daughters (22 and 24 yrs) and we ALL loved the property! Beautiful and very spacious inside and outside to accommodate larger groups. The owners communicated very well anything I asked even about the surrounding areas. This would be a perfect getaway for families with little ones as well. The beach is just a short walk at any time of the day….but you won’t want to leave the house once you get there! Amazing property and amazing owners!! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!!!
