Live like kings and queens at this 5,000-square foot oceanfront estate with nine bedrooms, six full and two half baths that is sure to provide the vacation of your dreams. Over-the-top amenities include private pool, hot tub, home theater with an 80-inch TV, three rows of leather seating, and a ground-floor game room with Ping-Pong, foosball, and pool tables.

Magnificent in size and scope, the top floor great room features dual leather seating groups and an 80-inch TV. Sip a cocktail at your very own great room lounge as you take in the insanely beautiful views. The majestic wet bar is simply out of this world. It features a C-shaped countertop with stools, plenty of mini-fridges, an ice maker, and a beer dispenser. The formal dining area can comfortably seat guests and features an additional lounge area with two occasional chairs. An additional pub table and chairs are located on the other side of the lounge and have a wonderful ocean-to-sound view. Or perhaps, you will choose to open the French doors leading out the oceanfront deck and enjoy a meal alfresco at the Adirondack dining set. Three levels of open and covered full-length decks look out over the exquisite, endless sea. With that much room, everyone in your party should be able to carve out a special spot to sip on a cup of coffee or just enjoy the warmth of the sun and the ocean breeze. Feel yourself unwind and your shoulders drop as the salty air and the roar of the waves work their magic on you.

Your private pool deck is your own little maritime paradise, with a large in-ground pool with a volleyball net, comfortable full-length lounge chairs for soaking up the rays, and easy access to the beach. Bordered by a white-picket fence, you will also have lovely views of the area's greenery. The kitchen boasts an abundance of counter and work space, stainless steel appliances, including dual stoves, and a large pantry. Have your guests dine at the breakfast bar. This generous space can easily handle the culinary needs of your large crowd.

Two primary bedrooms each feature a lovely en suite bath with a Jacuzzi tub, and bay windows with sitting areas. What a great spot to catch up on a few pages in your book or use the WiFi to upload your vacation pics to social media. Take advantage of your private oceanfront deck to share a glass of wine with someone special as you watch the sky full of stars at night. Five additional bedrooms feature varying amenities, such as a sitting area, private deck, flat panel TV, and an in-room wet bar. The last two bedrooms have two sets of bunk beds each - perfect for the kids!

Great House For Large Family

2nd year in a row going to Serenity. Our group loves the 4th gathering area, the elevator, right on the beach.

OMG! What a house!

The house is sixty feet away from the ocean, and high enough to see over the dune from the second floor to the fourth!The living room in the top floor is, I believe, bigger now than in the pix on the website.It's up high, overlooking the ocean, like being in a boat.It has a beautiful deck (as do all the floors, in the front of the building overlooking the marsh as well as the back of the house overlooking the ocean)!The living room is spacious, open and inviting with kitchen, dining, and breakfast nook space all attached. It has lots of big windows, so you get amazing panoramic views of the ocean and the marsh.The kitchen is fairly well stocked for what probably was the 23 people that the house can sleep. (We only had 14).The bedrooms facing the ocean are all amazing.We watched the sunrise from bed most of the days of our stay. The bedrooms facing the marsh are equally beautiful.The main downside was that all of the bunkbeds were evil and desperately need mattresses instead of just the foam that was on them.They were so uncomfortable as to be unusable, but fortunately the couches are fairly comfortable.That's what gives this 4 instead of 5 stars.The rental agency had told me that the elevator “wasn’t available,” but fortunately it was!It appeared that it only recently fixed. The pool table was passable with only one decent cue.The ping pong paddles, though workable, were broken and needed replaced.The rental agency was friendly and I could understand their accents.

Perfect extended family vacation!

We had 3 generations in the house including 7 kids ranging from 1 yr - 10 yrs. The floor plan was fabulous. The first level of game room and movie room was great for the kids to run around when not in the pool or on the beach. The top floor's open plan and beautiful views of the ocean and beach were breathtaking. We loved the beach being only a few steps away from the house! We had the perfect amount of space and amenities. Can't say enough positives. Thank you for offering such a great property!

Our family vacation July24

The location is great! Easy access to the beautiful beach and a nice private pool. We had 21 family members - 11 adults and 10 teenagers. Lots of space for everyone in this house. The 7 king bedroooms are all a nice size as are the bathrooms. The 2 rooms with bunks were a little tight for our older kids but there are multiple comfortable couches. The living/dining area is very spacious with lots of places to sit for meals and the kitchen is well supplied. We had a great time at Serenity!

Nice House- Lots of space- Needs some TLC

This is a great location. The Pool was a big hit with the kids. It is across the road from the house, but that is ok. I really wish they would get the Elevator fixed and inspected. This is the second year in a row that we have stayed there and it has been disabled both times. The sign on the elevator door says that it is not compliant with Weston's Law.

Serenity is beautiful!

We loved so much about our week at Serenity. The house provided plenty of room for our large family and it had so many thoughtful amenities - even box fans and space heaters for the rooms if needed. Plenty of dishes, cooking pots, coffee makers, two dishwashers and two ovens. We had 26 to feed for most meals. We also weren’t on top of each other. There was plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean and the elevator was so wonderful. It is a work of art. We just booked our stay for next year so we could do it all over again!!

Terrible Stay

My family and I rented Serenity over Christmas. When we arrived, there was trash on the front porch and strewn about the yard due to possums getting into it and could potentially cause more rodents. The house was not cleaned after the last guests. We spent 2 hours cleaning the refrigerator to even put our food in it. The showers were disgusting with mold and grime. There were dishes in the dishwasher that appeared to have been there for a while and had to be rewashed. There was one toilet that was covered in urine. Also, linens were not provided until I called. The home is beautiful, but it is not well maintained. There was a problem with garbage disposal, kitchen sink leaks, remotes not working for TVs, toilet overflow, and a window fell out of the sill in one room (entire second floor was freezing). The banister/railing on the top floor is broken and a hazard especially for children. Additionally, mattress protectors were not on all mattresses, and some mattresses had bodily fluids on them. Many of the mattresses need to be replaced. The refrigerator in the game room doesn’t work and refrigerator in the kitchen doesn’t get cold enough. There were no pillow protectors on any of the pillows. This is extremely unsanitary. The home also has ants. The lights in the elevator don’t work. I spent my entire trip calling, emailing, or texting Vacasa about the issues we encountered. They were not responsive; I received the same message that they were working on it. After repeated calls, they finally sent a cleaning crew to do the basics after we cleaned the home to make it livable. They also sent a handyman for the toilet and window. All other requests were not acknowledged nor responded to. Vacasa should spend time deep cleaning the home and fixing all the problems. Many of the problems we encounter could have been avoided with some attention and regular maintenance/upkeep. Further, Vacasa needs to improve its customer service by responding to all requests or at least acknowledging why something can’t be done; communication goes a long way. We spent much of the time wondering if they were going to take care of the problems. As a result of our experience, I would never stay at a home managed by Vacasa again.
