All was good except for the strange fact of 3 rentals at the same place and the older couple in the backyard was a little off putting.

Lovely as always

Moving our daughter in to the dorm at SEMO for yr 2. Been coming to this location since our trip here during her senior year of HS when she visited SEMO to audition for the musical theatre program. It is a great place to stay when you have more than 2 people.

The property was exactly as listed with so many little touches that made it special. Communication was great and we were close to downtown shops and the casino. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

A Beautiful Retreat for Three Generations

Three generations found rest,beauty,& joy at Serenity South. Thoughtful touches,beautiful gardens and Cape charm made this more than a stay-it became a treasured memory. We were so appreciative of the details, the fresh flowers, homemade cookies, the coffeemaker upstairs and the books and games. The beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed this historical home and our stay.

Perfect home for college visit

When looking for a VRBO for our daughter's college visit, we knew the perfect place to stay! This is our second stay at Serenity South and it was just as incredible as the first visit. Clean, inviting and cozy. Thanks Jo for another beautiful stay.

Serenity south was welcoming comfortable and very clean. Impeccably maintained historic home. Comfortable beds, great water pressure and shower head, easy to maintain consistent temperature. Good vibes throughout. Not haunted. Beautiful outdoor space but it was too hot to use it much while we were there. Recommend stopping by the olive oil store William and Water across the street.
