Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Florida house. It was truly perfect in every way, the thoughtful details throughout made us feel right at home. The rooms were spacious and beautifully suited for our family’s needs, providing comfort and privacy. The kitchen was fantastic, fully equipped with everything we needed to cook and relax together.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, Billie! We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and the location of Serene Sands. It's wonderful to know that the use of the golf cart made accessing the beach so easy for you. While the pool is not large, it is advertised accurately, and if your group needs more space than the homes private pool provides its always an option to use the larger community pool. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Loved the kitchen it was nice and spacious, we had an issue with the scissor being broke and no wine opener but that was very quickly rectified by the great host,she was a pleasure to deal with and very efficient. The pool was kind of small and is not private due to the home next door having a pool at the same spot.

Thank you so much for sharing your review, Kelly! We're delighted to hear that you loved the spacious kitchen at Serene Sands and appreciated our teams swift response in addressing the minor issues. The homes pool is private in that only the guests staying in Serene Sands have access to it, but apologize you felt it did not provide a lot of privacy due to the home next door having a pool as well. We hope you still had a relaxing time and look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at this beach house rental! With just a few minor improvements, this could easily become a five-star experience.ProsIdeal Location & Transportation: The house is an easy 12-minute walk (or a 4-minute golf cart ride) to the beach. Having the golf cart included was an absolute blessing for our family!Private Pool: The small pool on the side of the house was a total game-changer for our young kids. It was clean, super convenient, and provided hours of entertainment.Spacious & Clean: The home overall was very clean, tidy, beautifully decorated, spacious, and even stocked with a nice selection of books.Responsive Management: When an issue arose, management was ultimately helpful and resolved matters (though response times varied)Cons Communication: While management did answer our questions, response times often took half a day or required follow-ups.Ex: 1: Reporting the mold on the sliding bathroom door. (Management handled this within 24 hours, which we appreciated).Ex 2: Reporting a safety concern regarding a golf cart tire with completely worn-out tread that caused dangerous sliding while driving. (The golf cart was eventually replaced).The grill: The grill was in very rough shape and urgently needs to be replaced. Additionally, the propane was low (requiring us to buy a new tank), there were no cleaning supplies and self igniter didn’t work - bring a lighter. Overall we had a wonderful time and would consider a future stay!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Kathryn! We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Serene Sands, especially the location, private pool, and clean, spacious interior. Your feedback about the communication and the condition of the grill and golf cart is invaluable, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. I am glad our team was able to get you a new golf cart to enjoy during your stay!! Had you let us know the grill wasn't working properly we would have come to fix it, or even replace it for you if that is what it needed. Additionally we provide propane to our guests as part of their stay, so had we known you needed more we would have happily delivered a new full tank to you. We are very sorry about the mildew on the inside back of the pocket door, and appreciate you letting us know so we could address it promptly. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again for another wonderful getaway!

Couples Retreat

"Staying at Serene Sands was an absolute delight! The host's attention to detail and hospitality made our experience truly memorable. The space was not only immaculately clean but also beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The thoughtful amenities provided, from the well-stocked kitchen to the plush towels and comfy bed, exceeded our expectations. One of the highlights was the personalized recommendations from the host, who clearly knows and loves the area. We felt like we got a true local experience, discovering hidden gems we might have missed otherwise. The location was convenient, with easy access to the beach. The pool and grill were also a great addition. Communication with the host was seamless, and they were quick to respond to any inquiries or requests. . Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we can't wait to come back. Highly recommend Serene Sands for anyone looking for a charming and comfortable home away from home!"

Serene for the most part

The booking process was extremely pleasant and Destiny was amazing! The communication was great and had no problems arriving to the home and getting inside. Upon arrival the home is absolutely beautiful and the decor is exquisite! There is plenty of room for everyone and loved the kids 3rd floor area! The golf cart was a HUGE plus! The pool was perfect! The location was perfectly located to everything we wanted to do including beach access, community pool, gulf place shopping, stinkys fish camp for brunch, and baytowne for fireworks! The only complaint we had was that we came across 6 roaches that were very large and scary for the kids. The rental company told me that they were more scared of us than us of them and that they would send pest control out. They had pest control already come out 2 days prior and didn’t seem like it helped. The home wasn’t cleaned before we arrived with a deep clean. There was cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings with dead spiders and the third floor tub had tiny spiders in it. For such a beautiful home it was so sad to not make sure it’s 100% ready for guests arrival. There also were no beach chairs or toys or beach cart or anything so that was another added expense we weren’t expecting. It would be nice to add those items for your guests that travel there without having to haul everything in the car.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, Bridget! We are thrilled to hear that you found the booking process pleasant and that Destiny provided amazing service. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the beautiful decor, spaciousness of the home, and the kids' area on the third floor. We're glad the golf cart and private pool added to your experience, and that the location was perfect for your activities. We understand how important it is for our guests to feel comfortable and at ease during their stay, and apologize for the inconvenience of the palmetto bugs. This home, as well as all of our properties, is on a professional pest control plan, but we understand that no one likes when a couple sneak their way inside. We do appreciate you letting us know so that we could address the issue, and have the home sprayed an extra time that month. We appreciate your feedback on the cobwebs in the corners, and will ensure that our team addresses these concerns so to prevent future occurrences. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future, providing you with a flawless stay.
