This was the best beach house that we have ever rented. We had family from 6 years old to 73. Everyone had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and has so much to do there. We had 2 teenager boys and 2 little ones. They had so much fun in that upstairs area. We called it the boys dorm. The elevator was helpful for loading up and then for taking our very old dog to the bathroom. The beach is right in front of the house and the hot tub on the main deck was a big hit. There was also a great fire pit downstairs. Thanks for letting us stay there.

Great time at Serenity!

Have stayed at several properties and this one did not disappoint! It was large enough for everyone to have space, and bathrooms and kitchen had all the amenities we needed! Very clean on arrival. The lift out side was super helpful. Would love to come back here next year!

Family trip

Great place to stay for our annual family trip with a total of 21 people, adults, teens and children. Plenty of space for everyone and easy access to beach. We were there for a four day trip over Fourth of July weekend and we weren’t crowded at all. Our door code didn’t work when we got there but they had a backup lock box with a key to get in and quick response when I called about it. Low on propane fuel for the grill but quick response and delivery the the next morning even on the fourth. Would highly recommend for large family gatherings

Serenity @ Bolivar

Our stay at Serenity was great! Great location on the beach and perfect size to accommodate our needs. My only complaint would be that the property is in need of some TLC! I understand that things can get worn down over time but this property needs some updates/repairs. The upstairs shower has a very large area of mold on the ceiling (happy to provide photos) that needs to be removed and painted, the sink stoppers in some of the bathrooms need to be adjusted as they don't drain properly and outdoor string lights don't work as they have been severed. Other than that, nice place and the location is perfect!
