Short get away

We chose to stay in the outer banks as it was one of my brother’s favorite places. We were just there for the weekend to remember him. Lauralee was super responsive and so easy to work with. The house is plenty big enough for everyone to have their space. Lots of amenities and close to the ocean and sound.

Great place

It was spacious with room to spare! Host was attentive and easy to work with. Everything you need is at the house. We wish it wasn’t raining so we could’ve made use of the bikes, hammocks and hot tub. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent

We stayed a week in February as a family and had a wonderful bonding experience. The house was spacious and having a split level for the kids to get away by themselves was a welcome feature. There were MANY amenities that you would otherwise have to transport yourself if you stayed anywhere else - beach chairs, beach wagon, bikes, kayaks, etc. We loved the proximity to the beach in this quiet neighborhood. The property was extremely close to grocery stores, restaurants, and kid-friendly activities - putt putt golf, sugar planet, go karts, and more. We definitely recommend this property for those looking for family time near the beach with many plusses on top ot that.

Great beach getaway for a big family

We stayed at this property for three nights - 4 adults and 5 kids ages 5 through 12. The location felt safe and was close to everything. The yard was great! Had all the amenities we could have hoped for - the only thing we wished we had was firewood. The owner responded quickly and was very helpful and kind. We would visit again.

We booked this location as overflow for our family reunion, but it ended up being so lovely that people wanted to stay here instead! Communication was clear and supportive - such a great find!

Great OBX beach house

The house is laid out nicely with plenty of space and has a good backyard with a very nice hot tub. The beach is walkable about 10-15 minutes. We liked the close proximity to many places. Would definitely consider rebooking.

As advertised in photos

I have it an5 because it’s as advertised and because the owner is a good communicator. There are lots of rules, lots and lots which weigh on you when staying there. I understand it’s their home which is why I kept it at a 5 but rules take the level of relaxation out of things when I have a handful of lengthy emails to follow. Good amenities although our stay was too short to take advantage of the bikes and such. the previous guest signed out of the tv apps and that wasn’t caught before check in

About the host

Hosted by Lauralee Harding

Host profile image
Serenity is owned by Dennis & Lauralee, who have 4 beautiful children. We are entrepreneurs from northern Virginia, who have businesses in real estate investing, building contracting, HVAC contracting, and short term vacation rentals. We also homeschool our children and enjoy traveling and spending lots of time outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We purchased and renovated this home in 2011 and rented it out as employee housing for a local beach resort until 2021. We loved this home because of its location on a quiet street, in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood with nearby residential cops keeping an eye out for the community's safety and well-being. During the spring of 2022, we made a spontaneous decision to refurnish it as a short term rental vacation home, and we have had so much fun bringing it back to life in such a short period of time! It is really important to us to help other families make special memories here as we have and to create a luxurious vacation experience that our guests want to revisit year after year. Having this home has given us a unique opportunity to practice hospitality while offering a wonderful, serene vacation getaway for families and friends who want to enjoy all that the Outer Banks has to offer.

What makes this property unique

**NEW! We have recently completed an extensive, fenced-in backyard renovation complete with a NEW HOT TUB, beautiful sectional sofa and a dining table with 6 chairs that are nestled under a shade canopy. Also newly added is a fire pit surrounded by 3 super comfortable Nags Head Hammock swings. In one corner of the yard hangs a cozy hammock as well as a clothesline on the opposite fence for those wet swim suits and beach towels.
Attached is a garage, with washer and dryer and a fun outdoor entertainment setup with a TV, comfortable seats, beach toys, beach chairs, 2 beach carts, 6 bikes, a wave ski (surf kayak), a Blackstone Culinary Griddle, and a canoe and kayak in the backyard, perfect for viewing the gorgeous sunsets over the sound just west of the house. On the front porch are four cozy chairs with a table, perfect for that early morning cup of coffee as the sun comes up over the distant ocean, quietly flooding the waking neighborhood with its warm glow. Towels and linens, as well as other personal amenities are included.
**PLEASE NOTE: The guest making the reservation must be at least 25 years old and must be among the group staying at Serenity. Smokers are not allowed either inside or outside the property due to severe allergies of owners and frequent visitors. Non-smoking guests only at this property. Thank you!
