Perfect Family-Friendly Property

We love Emerald Shores and have stayed in three other houses in this community. Serendipity is by far our favorite property! The layout is spacious and the three full bathrooms were wonderful for four adults and four children.

Not Our First Visit

We have stayed in this location a couple of times. The beach access is a plus and having a couple of pools available is great alternative. The house at 10 Onix is well appointed and very comfortable.

We had a great time. Darlene helped us get checked in early. The house was great. A really nice kitchen considering we like to cook on vacation. A lot of upgrades compared to other houses in Emerald Shores. We will return.
