This is a wonderfully maintained cottage right on the beach in a very convenient location. Yes, it's small, but still offers plenty of space for a couple or small family. The host has gone the extra mile to make sure guests have all the amenities they need, and communication was fantastic and extremely helpful. You can sit on the back deck and enjoy the ocean views just a stone's throw away, or hop over the dune to sit on the beach. And when the ocean breezes are a bit too cool, the front deck provides a warmer place to relax. The location is within walking distance to a couple of restaurants and a short drive to many others. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend getaway and hope to return.

The cottage was perfect -- quiet, charming, comfortable, clean and smelled fresh. Right on the beach, excellent views and conveniently located to all attractions. We appreciated the extra touches as well – arriving to a chilled beverage, dog bowls, beach chairs, Wi-Fi, etc. Being pet-friendly was the reason we selected this cottage. Both front and back porch had gates to completely fence off the areas which provided a truly escape-proof zone. There were hoses for rinsing sandy paws and salty fur before coming inside which was very nice. Communication was great. If there were any questions, the owner responded promptly with a friendly helpful reply. We had a wonderful stay.

You're right on the beach! With littles in tow this was a huge blessing. Pop back inside for lunch - then right back to the beach :) Sweet, well appointed cottage, host is super responsive and kind. The outdoor shower and hoses to rinse of sandy toes are great! Beach toys & chairs & incredible views!

Amazing cottage with direct beach access over the dunes. Location was great within walking distance to 2 restaurants and ice cream shop. Cottage itself was so quaint and cute. Immaculately clean and every little detail was thought about. Cottage had locked gates on the porches which was awesome for our little dog. Communication was great. Cant beat this cottage for a couple or small family with its location and stocked items. No need for a beach cart. Chairs are provided and you are literally steps from the ocean. Great home base to explore all the OBX. Loved Serenity cottage! Thanks for letting us stay at your property.

The house and hosts met or exceeded all of our expectations. All of the extras and upgrades to the home made the stay even better than we expected. We loved the place and it was perfect for our needs. The "starter" items made checking it a lot easier as we didn't have to run to the store right away and could hit the beach immediately which is only steps from the back porch. We were able to have our own private beach the way they have the walkway set up. We will definitely return when it is time for a beach getaway and some "Serenity".Thank YouThe Gray's

This place was absolutely beautiful!!! This was a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The view was perfect. There are not enough words to express how much we enjoyed staying. It was extremely clean and the location was perfect. It is like having your own private beach. You can not go wrong choosing this beach house. We would love to return in the future. Nothing short of a 10 star review.
