Amenities include a Keurig coffee/tea make w/pods, and Nespresso machine, fridge (stocked w/milk and cream, juice, yogurt) and freezer, microwave, filtered hot/cold water dispenser, fresh muffins/fruit delivered each morning (a "Continental-style breakfast).

A wonderful place
A beautiful, serene suite close to the ocean and in a perfect location to experience the Sunshine Coast. Large bedroom, bathroom and charming living room with your own deck. Great breakfast included which is brought to you. The owners are kind, endearing and always helpful. Simply superb.

Serenity Indeed!
An absolutely wonderful stay at the Serenity Suite. Kea and Ken are outstanding hosts - kind, attentive (but not too!), and responsive. The suite is cozy and well-appointed, with everything you might need. If you are looking for accommodations on the Sunshine Coast, I highly recommend!

Quiet, private and comfortable
The property is well-maintained and very clean. A continental breakfast, consisting of fresh fruit, pastries and juice is provided every day. The suite is extremely charming in its furnishings and decor. There is a small deck with chairs, umbrella and a view of the water. I have stayed in many VRBO rentals. Hosts Kea and Ken may be the kindest, most generous people I've ever encountered. I highly recommend staying with them. One caveat: the kítchenette is probably not what you want if you love to cook (no sink, oven or hot plate). It does have a fridge and a microwave. I was okay with that. Overall, this is a great rental. I stayed for ten days!
