Serenity Shores * Pet Friendly, Private Pool, & Beach Chair Set Included

Review: Serenity Shores – Destin, FLWe recently stayed at Serenity Shores and experienced several issues that significantly impacted our trip. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this property as significant repairs are needed.Major Issue – Ceiling Leaks:There were multiple active leaks in the primary bedroom requiring pans and even 5-gallon buckets to catch water. The ceiling showed bubbling and worsening damage throughout the stay. Repairs were attempted but leaks continued whenever it rained.Ongoing Disruptions:Maintenance and contractors were on-site multiple days. While communication was responsive, the constant presence disrupted privacy and the overall vacation experience.Safety & Water Intrusion:Water leaked into the garage, creating standing water and a slip hazard. With children, this limited safe use of the space and children could not access the refigerator in the garage.Other Issues:Dishwasher did not work for several daysCockroach found in the kitchenThird-floor bathroom outlet not workingPrimary bathroom light fixture came loose and was hanging by the electrical wireRepairs & Relocation:Fixes appeared temporary (sealing/tarping) and did not resolve root issues. A relocation was offered but was smaller and not beachfront, so it wasn’t comparable.OverallGreat location, but the home had ongoing maintenance, water intrusion, and safety concerns that were not resolved during our stay.

We loved staying at Serenity Shores. The location was terrific and convenient. All questions and inquiries to the property manager was responded to so very quickly!

Great location. Bedding was clean. The house was clean just has some needed maintenance unfinished light fixtures doors not opening entirely. Dingy living room furniture.

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was wonderful, and the views of the ocean were unbeatable!

Easy access to beach and private pool! Lots of room for family to be together!

The house was extremely outdated. The first floor bed was broke. The ac was broke. The house smelt like gas. There was mold on the vents. Several lights were burnt out and didn’t work. We were extremely disappointed in this property.

Very nice, clean, spacious.

Nice place. will come again.

The pool was dirty when we got there. we were charged 80 for one hour early check-in. The house is in bad need of repairs. Most of the rooms smelled of mold. The beds were horrible. The furniture was stained and dirty. There were workers there every day we were not able to sit by the pool and relax we could not get out of the driveway or in because of the trucks the Noise we had to put up with. There were insects upstairs in the bedroom. They were light fixtures hanging from the ceilings and mold everywhere.

We had a wonderful time, and the property was beautiful.

For starters - this is the first time I have ever left a negative review on a property. I’ll start by saying the location is absolutely perfect. Right on the beach. The complimentary beach service is great.But the house has a major mold problem. The suite on the second floor smelled SO badly of mold, that we couldn’t stay in it. The ceiling in the second floor bathroom is covered in black mold. I have pictures for proof. The air vents have mold in them. There is evident water damage in the garage, bathrooms, and kitchen ceilings. I contacted management to inform them of their negligence in letting families with young children (or anyone for that matter) stay here knowing there is a clearly evident mold problem. They sent someone out with nothing but a spray bottle in hand to “fix the mold”. Absolutely not.This would be a wonderful place if they would take the time to fix the problems and remediate the mold the RIGHT way.

This place is a great place to stay. We had fun at the beach and our private pool. Only thing I would ask is for better deck chairs that sit higher then the railing so you can look over the deck easier. Other then that, great place.

Perfect location on the beach and also walkable to some restaurants (and the mall). Super responsive managers -- they sent a person to fix a broken banister right away. You cannot beat the convenience of this place. It is a bit well-worn in places, but super comfortable and convenient.

This was our favorite family vacation yet! The house location was perfect! Close to restaurants and bars! Right on the beach! Walk out the back door into the white sands and emerald waters of Destin. The complimentary beach set up was super nice. Overall the house was fantastic, a few shower heads could be updated and provide some household items/beach towels. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Was a beautiful home and location to various shopping and restaurants was great!

Good for family but wasn’t as clean as other properties I have stayed at.
