The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Place all used towels in the washing machine, but do not start.
Leave bedding on beds and unmade. House keeping will strip beds.
Take out trash and recycle to bins that are in the side yard to the right of the white shed and behind the partial fence.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Parking is the space in front of the apartment porch.
You may use the washer and dryer, but please, do not overload. It is a small capacity set.
ALWAYS, use outdoor shower and hang all beach towels outside after beach trips. This prevents damage to the plumbing due to excess sand.

Lisa's rental is comfortable, well decorated and is spacious. She was quick to respond to any questions. We enjoyed the screened porch and it was nice to have a coffee pot and a Keurig to choose from. It was a short drive to the beach and that part of the island was pretty quiet.

Lovely place! While my extended family vacationed oceanfront, I enjoyed retreating here when I needed some peace and (yes!) serenity. I appreciated Lisa’s decor and the thoughtful details, like extra fans, laundry supplies, coffee, and the stack of North Carolina history books by the bedside. Meticulously clean and comfortable in every way. This apartment is nicely designed for anyone with mobility issues…all one story. Just park and walk right in! The Beach Market is right around the corner and the neighborhood is safe and quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Bennett

Host profile image
I am a third generation native to Oak Island. Growing up here was incredible, and it made me the quintessential beach bum I am today. As a result of my local upbringing, I can surely answer any questions you may have about Oak Island or Southport. Since my retirement from 30 years of teaching middle school, if I am not on the beach, you will most likely find me with my grandchildren, or usually, they are on the beach with me.

Why they chose this property

Serenity Season By the Sea is nestled in the Oak Island neighborhood of Tranquil Harbor. It is a quiet neighborhood perfect for relaxing. We are a short walk to the Intercoastal Waterway to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.

What makes this property unique

Serenity Season By the Sea is the perfect island retreat. It is quiet, relaxing and comfortable. The cozy porch is made for enjoying your morning coffee to get your day started and sipping your favorite cocktail in the evenings. The outdoor shower will be waiting for you when you return from a long day of salt, sand and sun.
