    We have stayed numerous times at Serenity. The home and property are always well maintained and provide us with all the comforts of home. The dock for our boat is an added plus and gives us easy access to the intracoastal waterway. Hosts are always easy to communicate with.

    Perfect getaway for our family birthday celebration. Close enough to restaurants and shopping yet the home feels secluded and private. The property was gorgeous! Having our boat with us was an extra added bonus. Definitely worth the visit!

    We had a lovely stay at Jennifer's place. The house was plenty comfortable for 6 adults, and the yard space was great for the dog. We spent most of our time on the dock which had ample seating room for fishing and lounging. We did not have a boat with us, but this location would be perfect to spend a week / weekend with your boat docked right at the house. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

    Our family wanted one more quick summer vacation before everyone went their separate ways for the fall. This was a great place to spend time together. Plenty of space for games and family meals. We enjoyed the outdoor area, fishing and kayaking. Jennifer was very helpful and accomodating. Perfect place for a quiet retreat!

    We stay at Serenity Cottage every year and always savor our time there. It is such a calm and beautiful location. Even when there are lots of rainy days, the view and peacefulness of the location renews your spirit. Our dog loves his pier walks, doggy door and fenced area. The house meets every need and we are comfortable and relaxed the whole stay. Even on the hottest days, the covered deck on the pier gets great breezes and is the perfect spot for a great book. Our son is able to fish to his heart's content without the challenge of surf fishing. But when you want time on the beach, it's just a short drive over. When you want to shop or see a movie, it's just a short drive to the Mayfaire shopping center. We hope to continue our vacations here for many years to come!

    We love this place. Second time staying and fell more in love. The view is undeniably the best. The trees, the shade, and the birds all around the back porch makes it a focal point of gathering. My 88y/o grandma came and sat on the back porch the whole time and just kept saying she felt so free . Jennifer is very communicative. The area is quiet and very family oriented. We brought our paddle board and tritoon and enjoyed being on the dock and out in the water. The boys played cornhole and threw the baseball and football in the backyard. It is so nice to come to a rental and have the true home feel where you’re not stuck bringing all the extra. We will be back!

    We enjoyed this home and property so, so much! We were away from all the hustle and bustle of Wilmington yet close enough to go eat at nice restaurants or go to the beach for a few hours. The porch and gazebo/dock were the best. All the different birds, squirrels, raccoons, fox and dolphins were entertaining to watch. Fishing from the dock was also a lot of fun. Communication with the homeowner was quick, easy and professional.

    This is just a gem of a location, a comfortable home with all the amenities you could ask for, and excellent, expert hosts! We are former Wilmington residents, and frequent Wrightsville Beach goers. We are picky about our Wilmington properties, but this one is perfection for 3 reasons. 1) They are experienced hosts. The house has everything you could possibly think of in order to fully relax on your stay. The kitchen it's fully equipped, as is the laundry room, the yard, the dock, etc. they even provide toys in the bunk room, which is rare. They are communicative, helpful, clear, and prepared for any situation. They are also very dog friendly, which is a huge bonus for many families. Staying here felt like being at home because you had all you needed. 2) This area of the intracoastal is famous for its beauty and this is one of the best spots. They have the longest pier, and plenty of shelter at the end of it. The dock is safe and superb, making swimming or boating easy. The views are incomparable, and the sun rises over the water out of the queen bedroom window. My father said he spent a lot of time on these waters & often finds whole sand dollars or conchs wash up on sandbars. It's truly peaceful and one of a kind. Much better than the hustle and bustle of the beach if you want serenity! 3) The location is convenient to so much of what Wilmington has to offer! We walked to a wildlife refuge, and easily got to our favorite restaurant and beach locations!
