Beautiful home with great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely and the outdoor area great for a group of 10 to hang out. We were there for our daughter’s graduation and were able to walk to the ceremony. Would definitely stay here again!

Serenity Haven - aptly named!

My son and I chose Serenity Haven for his second post-op recovery location. The area is convenient to medical facilities, groceries, restaurants and everything we need. The house is beautifully decorated and the thick towels, comfort of the beds and relaxing back yard all contributed to a healing environment - times 2! We are grateful for Maria and her team, especially Tristan, for adding to our comfort this week.
