Reviews
Here are some of the reviews our guests have written about their stay in Serenity....
May 2022 - Kaitlyn, Lynnwood, WA
This home is a little slice of heaven. It was absolutely the perfect place for a family getaway. The location, pool, dock, canal, and amenities are 10/10. We were so sad to leave! Definitely recommend booking this home for your vacay. Thank you Rita!

May 2022 - Crystal, Gainesville, Fl.
"The house is first off absolutely gorgeous, everything you need is there, it’s in the perfect spot - beautiful view on the canal where you can fish or paddle board (bring a boat if you have one), a few minutes from the store, 10 minutes to all the fun, 15 from the beach, this was THE BEST rental I have been to and would really like to go back! Thank you again Rita!"

April 2022 - Michael, Paoli, PA
"Rita created a lovely habitat catering to any travelers - from toddlers to grown ups. She put so much thought into this place - all you have to do is to enjoy your vacation. Well done and we are looking forward to coming back to Palm Coast."

March 2022 - Kari, The Villages
"Wow, what an amazing home!! Pictures don’t even do it justice. This house checked all the boxes we look for in a vacation rental…waterfront, private pool and hot tub, near the beach, beautiful and comfortable furnishings, and a full kitchen for those meals you’d rather stay in for. The house was immaculate and stocked with so many extra conveniences (every dish and utensil imaginable in the kitchen, coffee, sugar, seasonings, laundry supplies, bath and beach towels, throw blankets on the couches, board games, etc.). It was so nice having the privacy and comforts of a home, yet we were close to beaches and restaurants when we chose to go out. We rented kayaks from a great local company, Tropical Kayaks, that offered delivery and pickup service at the home. We started each morning with coffee on the dock. During the day we enjoyed the water, whether in the pool, floating on the canal, or at the beach, and followed it up with a beverage in the hot tub every evening. Just perfect and relaxing! Exceeded all of our expectations!! Thanks so much for checking in with us Rita, and for your impeccable taste and attention to details. It was so hard to leave, but we hope to be back to enjoy your home again and again with family and friends."

March 2022 - Brandi
"This home is gorgeous, it looks even better than the photos. It’s in a quiet cul-de-sac with a beautiful view of the canal out the back. The pool was exactly what our children wanted and the pool toys were great for the kids to play with! There were plenty of cups, dishes, cleaning supplies, paper products, towels, etc! We were very impressed by the hosts generosity, constant communication and snack basket, which really helped some hungry kiddos when we first arrived. I would definitely recommend this home to others and we look forward to coming back! :) "

Time with family

Had a wonderful time while staying in this lovely home. Everything was perfect! We loved hanging by the pool, and having morning coffee on the dock watching the fish jump out of the water. The house had everything you could need while away, and Rita was a great host. We will definitely be back.

Spring getaway

Everything about this wonderful home away from home suited our every want and need. Location is a convenient drive to shopping and restaurants. The home and property itself was very clean, well decorated and inviting. Only downfall was no access to garage for storage of outdoor recreational equipment.

Excellent accommodations!

Beautiful house, excellent decor. Everything we needed was there. I was surprised and impressed with the amount of towels that were provided. That makes a difference especially with our family and particularly with a pool and hot tub. Highly recommend this house and Host.

Great getaway!

House was great! Very relaxing! Rita was very helpful and answered any questions we had! Pool and hot tub were heated and we used them a lot since the weather wasn’t great. Very well stocked kitchen. Nice and clean. My family enjoyed Thanksgiving at this home. If we come back to this area, we will definitely book this house again!

Very comfortable!

Booked this house for our family get together. The house was big enough to accommodate us all comfortably. We utilized the pool a bunch. We also brought our boat and docked it out back which was very convenient. There is a beach and Publix not far from the house. We cooked a lot (which the house had more than expected to accommodate meal cooking) but did go out to JTs for dinner one night and Rodies for breakfast one morning which I would recommend, both were great! The only thing I would prepare for is the $3 toll you have to pay every time you head towards the beach. We had a great stay and were all very sad to leave. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be booking again. Thank you for everything!

Beautiful waterfront home & spectacular view!!

This place is truly special! Our stay was perfect and incredibly accommodating for fun and family time!! The place was everything described and so much more! It was clean and had all the essentials we needed to prepare dinner for the family. The beds and pillows were very comfortable! The living room was spacious and there were board games available for us to play at night. The house had everything we needed for our little ones, from a portable crib, highchair, toys and even a baby monitor. Our family certainly enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. There were even pool towels available for us to use and plenty of pool toys to keep the kiddos happy. The canal view in the back was breathtaking and became my favorite spot!! Just sitting on the dock in the late afternoon, enjoying the flying fish and occasional dolphin sighting. It was very peaceful! The location is perfect. We were just 10 minutes from Mala Compra Beach, James Holland Park and St Augustine was just 30 minutes away. The neighborhood is quiet, and there was easy access to a walking trail. Rita, our host, was so kind and quickly responded to any of our questions. She even left us a thoughtful welcome basket, which topped our stay off! I would highly recommend this place and we look forward to coming back the first chance we get!

Perfect for our Elopement!

The property was perfect for myself & spouse, and our 5 friends for our elopement! There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, lounge around and get ready the morning of the wedding! The hot tub and pool were amazing after long days of exploring St. Augustine & the dock was a hit with the guys! Everything was accurate with the listing and super clean!

Great Getaway for our kids before school starts

Our experience at the house 🏠 was beyond expectations amazing the pictures online does this house no justice. We arrived to a clean refreshing beautiful home and a nice complimentary basket that was very thoughtful, that we enjoyed to the fullest. Kids loved the pool, hot tub, and dock for fishing 🎣 our stay was so relaxing. The hostess Mrs. Rita was very attentive to anything we needed, great communication, we had clean rooms and spacious kitchen with everything we needed to cook meals. We wanted to stay longer and will definitely want to book this place again. Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation 😊 my family made beautiful memories🥰.

About the host

Hosted by Rita Labrador

Host profile image
My husband and I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends. Over the years, we have had the pleasure of traveling to beautiful places and have stayed in wonderful vacation rentals. Now, we are hosting our own home in Palm Coast. It has been filled with all the comforts of home that we have come to enjoy during our travels and a few extras that may have been incredibly helpful. We hope it is a special place your family can enjoy and create your own special memories.

Why they chose this property

Palm Coast gives you the best of both worlds.... Great beaches nearby and a serene place to enjoy intracoastal living. Palm Coast is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and golf courses. Nature lovers will enjoy visiting Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, with its beautiful gardens, breathtaking intracoastal views and public beach on the Atlantic. There is definitely something for everyone to enjoy!

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the dock and enjoying the calmness of the canal early in the morning or late in the afternoon, watching the flying mullet play in the water are one of my favorite things of this home. It's definitely fitting that we named it "Serenity in Palm Coast".
