Coastal Spring Retreat• 5 min to beach • Dog Friendly • Gas Firepit • Coffee Bar
Welcome to Serenity by the Sea!
Where salty breezes meet soul-soothing luxury, Serenity by the Sea invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters most. Just a mile from the ocean and minutes from Wells’ favorite Scoop Deck ice cream shop, this HGTV-inspired retreat is more than a vacation rental—it’s a gathering place for families, friends, and four-legged companions to make memories that last a lifetime.
Step inside to a spacious, light-filled kitchen that calls for pancake breakfasts, seafood dinners, and laughter-filled evenings. The fully stocked coffee and tea bar is your go-to morning ritual, and the snack basket waiting for you upon arrival ensures you're nourished from the start — especially after a long travel day.
Guests say it best: “Best ... experience we’ve had in a long time… spotless, beautifully renovated, and more cozy and live-able than others in the area.”
From morning coffee on the deck to evenings under a blanket of stars by the fire table, every moment here is designed to melt stress away.
We’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to!
From plush pillows in every firmness (because we’re pillow picky too) to kid-friendly touches like toys, books, a high chair, and a pack 'n play — Serenity by the Sea is designed for families, dreamers, and beach lovers alike.
Yes, your pup is welcome too!

Fresh seafood on every corner! Some of the best restaurants on the coast are in a 3-mile radius of the property, including Hobbs, Billy's, Fisherman's Catch and the Lobster Pound.
Serenity by the Sea isn’t just a house—it’s a feeling. Guests rave about how clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully stocked it is, from girls’ weekends to family gatherings. As one guest shared: “Our vacation was outstanding! The accommodations were lovely and meticulously kept, with proximity to the beach and nearby amenities."
So pack your flip-flops, bring your beach read, and let this coastal retreat wrap you in warmth, comfort, and calm. Serenity is calling—will you answer? *Please note there is a security camera located at the front of the house monitoring the driveway and front entrance. Please reach out with any questions.
