Family vacations with a toddler can sometimes cause stress when you are staying on the water, but the fence\d yard allowed everyone to thoroughly enjoy the stay at this delightful home. It is large enough to spread out, allowing everyone to have their space when they want, but enough seating int he living areas to enjoy time together as well. The home was clean, the beds comfortable, the views spectacular (there's nothing like watching the sun rise from a kayak!), and the location is just off the beaten path enough to allow you to unwind while still being close to grocery stores and restaurants.. We had a great stay at a great house with a great host!

Friends getaway in the perfect location

Exactly as pictured for a comfortable, casual stay with friends to celebrate the end of summer. The set up was easy to toddler proof and the pool, hot tub, and view made it feel luxurious. We were thrilled it felt remote but near all the amenities we'd need. We were already talking about booking again next year.

Beautiful house and location. Two surprises:- main bedroom does not have a door. - We were excited to kayak but the dock was too high to safely get into and out of the kayaks, so we skipped it.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 September 2025
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm so glad you thought the house and location were beautiful! I am confused about the comment that the master bedroom doesn't have a door. It does have a door that closes fully. When the door is closed it shuts off the master en-suite the bathroom and bedroom as is the case in all en-suites I have seen. What a shame you couldn't get in the kayak from the floating dock, it is so nice out on the water. Our other renters do it all the time, with kayaks and paddle-boards from children to grandparents.

Nice retreat

Beautiful well kept house to relax and enjoy with family. So nice they offered kayaks and stand up paddles as part of the rental. There was a problem with the pool heater and the owner came the very next morning to repair…it was Labor Day Weekend!! Thank you Betti-Lou

Amazing Property

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Betti-lou is communicative and friendly. She has provided anything you could need during your trip. My FIL brought his boat, but with the SUP board and kayaks we barely used it. The neighborhood is welcoming and couldn't be more helpful. I'd love to come back ASAP.

Excellent communicator, beautiful home!

This beautiful vacation home was so nice, everyone felt like they were at home. What I appreciated most was the communication before, during and at check out. Betti Lou explained everything in great detail so there were no surprises. Even when we were there she had a binder not just about the property but activities/points of interest around the area. Overall very pleased, we will be back! thank you!

Perfect stay in Elkton

This was our 3rd stay at this property, and there really isn’t any better in the surrounding area. It’s an excellent location in a quiet neighborhood on the Elk River. There are outstanding views and amenities here. Also, you’re close to great restaurants in North East (try the Forge Southern Comfort) as well as Chesapeake City (Schaeffers Canal House & The Chesapeake Inn are top choices). Also, Jo Jo’s Diner in Chesapeake City for breakfast is very nice. We love this area of Maryland, and this house and location check all the boxes. Betti-Lou is an excellent communicator and the check-in / check-out process is a breeze. Finally, if you have a small dog, this is a perfect fenced in property for your pet to roam. 5-stars for sure, and we hope to be back again soon!

Graduation 2025

My husband and I rented this home based on its proximity to the University of Delaware. It was a short and scenic drive from the school and gave us the respite we needed in between all the graduation weekend festivities. We also hosted a brunch for my daughter, her roomates and the parents and everyone who attended loved where we were. The home was bright, airy and picture perfect for what we needed. Also decepitively larger than we had initially thought. I cannot recommend both this house and the hosts enough. I unknowingly left an item behind and they were so helpful and had it shipped back to me the next day! We have stayed at many home rentals and this home is at the top for best experiences. Our days at "Serenity" were wonderful and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in the area!!

Amazing Property

Discover your dream retreat at this exquisite waterfront property, where serenity and luxury seamlessly blend. From the moment you arrive, the breathtaking views of the tranquil water set the stage for an unparalleled stay. Step inside and you'll be greeted by an elegant, open-concept living space designed to maximize the stunning vistas. The well-appointed kitchen is perfect whether you're preparing a gourmet meal or a casual snack. The outdoor space is a true haven. The sparkling pool invites you to unwind and soak up the sun while enjoying the calming sights and sounds of the water. Inside, each room is thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and style. Large windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting the tasteful decor and creating a warm, inviting ambiance. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own, with its own access to the pool area and magnificent water views. Betti-Lou was an amazing host. She was easy to reach and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The home itself was immaculately clean. There were plenty of towels in the bathrooms and the beds were super comfortable. Our older teens enjoyed playing pool, kayaking, and relaxing outdoors. This property is ideally located, offering the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion and convenient access to local amenities and charming town centers. Highly recommend!
