Serenity by the Bay - Whole House in Vincentia, Jervis Bay

Host was great to deal with and great amenities and care factor! Place was amazing and beautiful to stay at.

Comfortable, modern, clean and very conveniently located. We had a great time.

We had a marvellous stay. The house had most things we needed and had plenty of space for us all. The property was clean and everything was well labelled. We were able to have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Thank you

I would not recommend this property if you value privacy or reasonable communication with the host. While the home itself was clean and in a good location, the experience was marred by the owner’s absurd policies and lack of flexibility.We asked for permission to invite our parents in law (who were living nearby and we were days away from Christmas) over for dinner during our stay and were shocked when the host proposed to collect 1,000 for the gathering. (We had already fully paid for the property by that time.) This was completely unreasonable, especially since we weren’t planning a party or any kind of disruptive event.Additionally, there are surveillance cameras on the property, which made us feel like our privacy was constantly being breached. The owners knew exactly when we were home vs not home as they had eyes on us (we would have preferred to know this prior to booking the property). While we understand the need for security, the placement of these cameras felt intrusive and detracted from our ability to fully relax and enjoy the rental. To this day we are unsure whether the cameras also recorded audio. One of the cameras were placed close enough to the outdoor dining table to eavesdrop, even though it was not facing the table.Overall, I feel this property might work for someone who doesn’t mind rigid rules and constant monitoring, but it wasn’t the right fit for us. There are plenty of other rentals where you can feel more welcome and at ease.

The place was great. The cleanest property I’ve stayed in. They think of everything from entertaining the kids with the games room, to coffee pods for the adults. Super convenient location. Close to all beaches, cafes and a stroll to Woolies. Beds are actually comfortable. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Stylish holiday house with convenient access to shops (woolworths, aldi). 10 mins drive to beaches. Rooms were spacious and modern, and clean. Kitchen was well equipped, high chair was provided along with kids cutlery which was very thoughtful. Rice cooker, air fryer, coffee machine were wonderful additions to the kitchen, all in impeccable condition. Owners Chris & Lynn were super responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Looking forward to staying at the property again.

Beautifully appointed, fresh and serene. Biggest oven I’ve ever cooked in!! Every detail has been thought of, right down to labels on the light switches so you aren’t fumbling about. I highly recommend this beautiful space, especially for a big family. ❤️

Now we know why its was consistently rated 5/5 ⭐️. Everything was as described with a few good surprises? Location was only around a 10 min drive to landmarks. Even the shower gel got my family raving! Will definitely book again when in the area!

Stayed at Serenity by the Bay for 3 nights with my family and my brother and his family. As soon as we walked in the property, we were wowed by the place. It was very clean, we loved the open kitchen, living and dining room space, very modern and very stylish (it looked like a display home!). The bedrooms are a good size and the beds comfortable. The kids loved sleeping on the bunk beds. Overall, it just had everything we needed and we felt very at home. The hosts did an amazing job. It was an easy check in, Chris and Lynn were always easy to contact and were quick to reply. Chris and Lynn had everything covered from having kids plates and cutlery, to the games room, amenities, a welcome pack of delicious goodies which we enjoyed and a helpful book that has everything from places to eat, to see, instructions on using key appliances etc. We enjoyed toasting marshmellows on the fire pit in the backyard and used the bikes there to explore the neighbourhood. Location was great, so close to the beaches, the national park, Woolworths was just down the road that you can walk there, close to town and plenty of nearby places to eat. After a day of exploring Jervis Bay and surroundings, it was so nice to come back to Serenity by the Bay! Thanks Chris and Lynn for a wonderful stay, we would love to come back. Highly recommend staying here especially for families.

Great place to stay in and perfect for the kids. Met all my family's needs. Comfy and clean.
