Tanya and Terry's accommodations were absolutely breathtaking! Such lovely details to make our stay an absolute dream - fresh flowers, breakfast basket and treats, heavenly scented soaps, soft sheets, comfortable seating everywhere, the use of the washer/dryer, and even the use of the golf cart to view the expansive property as my husband had mobility challenges! Tanya's instructions were well communicated and they were always available to answer any questions, but never intrusive so you had complete privacy. We had a fabulous stay to celebrate our 20th year anniversary and staying at the Sea of Serenity made it even more special. Thank you Tanya and Terry for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway

We needed some time away to relax and this place delivered. The hosts were awesome and provided a nice welcome basket of breakfast items, including fresh eggs! The view of the ocean and surrounding mountainside was spectacular. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer, but we will keep this place in mind the next time we decide to visit.

Private with stunning views!

We stayed here 4 nights and the views and the private feel of the property was wonderful. We were able to relax and read our books on the deck without any disruptions and this was really so important for us. We hiked and went into Sooke for groceries and the local folks just completed our stay of good feelings! We already miss it!

Serenity, indeed!

Sea of Serenity was exactly as the photos potrayed. Tanya and Terry were wonderful hosts, with helpful suggestions for activities. The suite was simply and tastefully furnished, with all the amenities. A lovely gift basket for breakfast meant we did not need to stop at a grocers.The views of the Olympic Peninsula were good, and seals and sea lions were sighted. We highly reccommend this location!

Among the best!

We spent 4 nights at Sweet Serenity Retreat. My husband and I have stayed at many VRBO's worldwide and this is added to our list of "the best". Tanya and Terry have thoughtfully seen to every detail to assure a memorable and relaxing experience. The very large studio provided plenty of space, the king size bed and luxury linens were divine, the kitchen was well stocked and the welcome basket provided lovely breakfasts for us. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy this accommodation. Joan & Cam

Spacious, Clean and Updated.

This is a beautiful location and a bright clean room. Tanya provided all kinds of extras including a high quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash from Saltspring Island. The sheets were lovely, crisp and clean as was the duvet. Easy access in/out. Great communication with Tanya but very private during out stay. This would be amazing in the summer when the big doors could be open. If you like to sleep in beware that the geese may not be on your schedule : )))

Great place

We enjoyed our stay here. The owners were very nice and the property was clean and well kept. The location is great. While we loved the place, the listing didn't quite communicate that it is a converted garage space attached to a much larger house. That being said, it was still nice, the breakfast basket they provided was great, and we would definitely stay again.
