The house was cute and had a great layout. The beach was amazing. The hosts were very thoughtful, kind, and responsive. We had our 17 and 20 yo daughters and their friends and all had a great time! It was nice staying on the beach and being close enough to the water that the ladies could swim and we could keep track of them from the house. The proximity to St. Augustine was nice.

Excellent beach vacation

Property is located on a private beach with very few people there during our 2 week stay. Amy, our host, was great on communication and our check in process was easy and thorough. House was stocked with everything you’d need to get started, and then some. Everything was close to include St Augustine within 15 min, Publix, great restaurants and Guana River State park a mile from the house. When we weren’t on the beach we were at the park hiking. Also has kayaking and biking (can rent there). Definitely recommend.

Amazing spot in a classic northeast Florida beach house! Literally steps from the beach with every detail taken into account. Between the hammocks, kids beach toys, umbrellas and pack-n-play, this house is perfect for families and friends. Lastly, the hosts were beyond fun and responsive.

We drove 16 hours from Michigan to stay at this beautiful house and it was totally worth the drive! Amy really made you feel welcome and checked in on us via text to see if we needed anything threw out our stay. We can not wait to come back to Amy’s place next time we are in this area of Florida!!

A cozy little beach house for a relaxing getaway!

We booked our five night stay with Amy for a girls trip. Amy was VERY accommodating! She was easy to communicate with, greeted us upon arrival, checked in on us and even left us a few treats/extra goodies as a welcome gift. She also provided us with recommendations on places to visit and eat, and they were all amazing. The house was the perfect size for 4 of us- it was clean and stocked with plenty of linens, beach towels, and toiletries. The house is just a few steps from the beach and also has an amazing view from the kitchen/living room. I highly recommend booking this rental, we will likely be booking with Amy again in the future!

Great Family Weekend for All Ages

We stayed for a long weekend with our adult son, his wife, 1year old son, and adult daughter. The house, living room, and beds are comfortable, clean, and easily accommodated the whole crew. We had our 1 year old grandson and it was easy to let him run around and play after moving only a few decorations out of his reach. The hostess went above and beyond to provide cute soft new bedding for the pack n play and there was also a high chair for meal times. We loved being able to play on the beach, collect shells, and use all the sand toys and then, when little man got tired, rinse him off in the outdoor shower and lay him down for a nap and adults could still be outside with the travel monitor we brought. Communication with the hostess before, during, and after was easy, thorough, and thoughtful. We’d definitely stay here again!

The perfect spot

If you are looking for a gorgeous, tranquil, cozy yet bright oasis with a sprawling beachside view that will take your breath away and nothing but sand between your toes (literally steps from the deck), the hum of the ocean, a blanket of stars above and a deck that you could stay on forever, look no further. You can walk for miles on the wide-open beach or just sit on the deck with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. We watched the sunrise every morning from the idyllic private deck (you can also just watch it from the master bedroom if you want to!), and listened to the rhythmic lap of waves. You can lie in the hammocks and stare at the stars until the night fades away. Amy is a perfect host - she is responsive, communicative, kind, professional, and everything about the place was perfect. It is clean, organized, has all the amenities, and tons of charm to boot. We could have stayed so much longer! Will definitely be back…not soon enough!

Peaceful beachside getaway

After a very long drive and late check in, we were greeted by the owner with a generous gift of snacks, cereal, and a sweet beach toy for our 11 month old. Immediately, we knew the owner cared about the property, and us guests having a wonderful, relaxing time. Her communication was above and beyond professional and courteous whenever we had questions. The house itself has been nicely decorated and maintained. It comfortably accommodated four adults and a baby, though there were beds for more kids or adults if necessary. We loved having easy beach access, numerous hammocks for relaxing, and a shower station to rinse off from the beach. The deck is fantastic day or night! With the baby, we cooked and prepared most of our meals with ease, which was important to me. I also appreciated having laundry access, and a sliding door off the master bedroom for early morning quiet time on the deck without disturbing everyone else. This place is great for family and adults alike, but most importantly a great place for a relaxing getaway beachside.

Cozy & Adorable Beach Cottage

Our family of five (mom, dad and three adult children) recently stayed at "Serenity Shores" for the 4th of July holiday week. It was perfect for us and all of our needs were met! Amy was a wonderful hostess - she was a good communicator and met us at the property to walk us through all the details we would need for the week. We had only one small issue, which Amy resolved within hours, and she checked on us to make sure we were having a great stay. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches: both types of coffee makers (with supplies), our favorite drinks and snacks (she asked in advance - like I said - thoughtful!), multiple gathering spots indoors and out and plenty of extra towels, pillows and blankets. We loved the patio spaces and proximity to the beach! Literally just a few steps away. Because this is a residential area, the beach was never crowded, yet we were a short drive to restaurants, stores and activities. We brought food back to the cottage each night so we could enjoy the views and each other. We played games and lounged in the hammocks. The footprint of the house is not big, but Amy has created an adorable and welcoming cottage that our whole family truly loved. Our daughters were obsessed with the vintage aqua microwave. So cute! Thank you, Amy, for treating us like family. :-)

The perfect getaway

Our family of 5 just returned from our stay at Serenity Shores and want to turn around and re-check in! We spent the days alternating between beach (which is literally steps away-no streets to cross, no long dunes to cross) and relaxing inside for lunchtime, and back to the beach. We swam, found shells and shark teeth, made sandcastles, and checked on the progress of the many turtle nests scattered up and down the beach. We watched pelicans diving for food and dolphins making there way along the shoreline. The view from the living room/dining room/kitchen area (which is open and airy) was amazing from all sides. The ocean on one side and the preserve (with great sunsets) on the other. The view from the master bedroom makes it easy to wake up (especially when the kids are ready to go to the beach at 7am 😁). It’s beautiful. St. Augustine is very close, but we never left the house (except to go to the grocery store which is about 10 minutes away). The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, there was a working grill, and laundry. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and ready to go. Finally, I have never been treated so well by a host! I feel like I am friends with Amy at this point! We were delayed in our arrival due to an accident on I-95, but she made sure we arrived safely and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. They left the grownups a bottle of wine and enough coffee to survive anything. For the kids, they left some inflatable floats and small toys for their enjoyment. The gesture just made you feel taken care of, which is a nice feeling when on vacation. We all highly recommend Serenity Shores. It’s easy to get to, right on the beach but also close to a fun town. This is a place we would definitly return to!
