Great place in a great town

Our 8 family members and a dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We choose it based on it being all 2 level so no stairs for my parents. The master bathroom was so large and luxurious. The views of the sound were so serene. We loved taking our dog for walks around the neighborhood. The key pad to enter took a little getting used to. The host was very responsive. We had a lot of fun exploring Manteo as well. The downtown and the Elizabethan gardens were all decided out for the holidays. We would stay here again.

Amazing sunsets

This is our third year at Serene Sound. Always a fantastic stay. The house is perfect. We love having our dogs with us. And fishing off the pier is always great. One of our group has mobility challenges, so we really appreciate the walk onto the fenced pier right out the back door
