Great location. A block away from the beach. LOTs and LOTs of stairs. Felt like half the trip was climbing stairs which was challenging with children. There is an elevator but it’s pretty slow to go up/down. Absolutely nothing in the house for use. Not one extra trash bag. No soap/ shampoo…just FYI the house is good but you pretty much have to purchase everything- for the price you’re paying you would think they could at least put some small cheap little bars of soap in the bathrooms or at least one -two trash bags. Didn’t have a working ice maker but treys were provided. Taste of water out of the tap was pretty bad. Fridge had a Brita water pitcher in the but the filter was pretty clogged and black. Decent house balconies on every level. Was told the house didn’t have beach chairs and we would have to rent them. Upon arrival there were about 6 chairs available. Boogie boards as well. Outdoor shower covered in spider webs and trash in the lower corner.

The house was beautiful. Very basic amenities so read their info completely so you are prepared with additional paper products. Great location and views, close to the beach and Kure pier. The elevator was super helpful with load in and load out. Thank you!

Everything was very clean when we arrived. The propane tank to the grill was nearly empty. We let them know when we arrived, they came immediately to replace it with no issues. Very beautiful 3 level duplex with very nice views.

Beautiful Townhouse
This place is absolutely beautiful! It is in a great location, easy walk to the beach, and of course plenty of room for family. You can’t beat the views from the top balcony. We will be staying here again.

The cleanliness was a 10 out of 10 and I’m really picky! We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare local seafood that we purchased. Easy walk to the beach and everything you need is incredibly close. This is one of the best rentals I’ve stayed at in years. Our family highly recommends this house.

Js, we are thrilled to hear your vacation was nothing less than you had hoped! We are so glad that you enjoyed the local seafood and this home.

We hope you decide to stay with us at Serenity by the Sea on your next vacation soon!

This place was not in-front of the beach but you didn’t need to be. The view from the 2nd and 3rd floor was enough not to mention the terrjacetano
