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.

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 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.

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.

Back Yard Oasis

I love the beach! Something about the air just makes life better. The outdoor space was amazing the only thing that would make it better would be a pool but hey the seating, fireplace, hammocks, and hot tub were awesome. It was a great way to start and end our days. We loved that we were able to use the bikes around the neighborhood that was so much fun. The welcome basket was a nice touch. And oh the water pressure in the showers phenomenal. Now that Ive let you know all of the great things I hate doing this but we did have a few flaws. It was a bit musty when we walked in we had to leave the windows open to get some fresh air, It wasn't so terrible while we were in it but it definitely hit you whenever we left and came back in. At home we have black out curtains and I didn't realize how much I would miss those, but it did help to get us up early enough to enjoy the sunrises. The listing tells you not to log out of the streaming services, however it seemed the previous tenants had done so, which was a bit annoying. There are also board games, we tried playing mouse trap but some pieces were missing ;( so that was a bust. But Dude overall I would say it was an 8 out of 10. If you need the space it is there! Its a great place to enjoy the beach and time with your loved ones.

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

Sweet Sweet Serenity

Lauralee was so helpful. Provided very helpful information for local businesses and places to visit eliminating the hassle of trying to figure it out on our own. Our visit was during Hurricane Debbie, and not only did Lauralee notify us of where emergency items were in the house, she had crews come out to ensure the property was safe and secure. She was also quick to have a maintenance worker come fix an appliance so that we weren’t inconvenienced, and ensured we were ok with the worker stopping by before just sending someone. Overall it was an excellent stay and we would recommend Serenity to our friends and others.

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.

Wonderful stay

Home felt like “home”.Great central location and house was very clean. Plenty of bedrooms for everyone.Nice cold AC which is wonderful for the hot summer months.Our older kids-the young adults had the basement area, so it was basically like their little own apartment down there.The garage had everything that we needed for the beach like chairs, a cooler,wagon, bicycles,so there was no need to haul extra things in our vehicle on the way down.It was about a 20-25 minute walk to Target and the beach access. The backyard was so cute!Excellent communication from the host and we really appreciated all of the recommendations on things to do and places to eat!

Perfect spot for an Outer Banks getaway!

Serenity did not fall short of its name! In town for the OBX Bike Week, a serene reprieve is a must after long days of riding and this home away from home was just that! First of all, location is vital, located right in the heart of the outer banks visiting north or south bound was a breeze. And after a day of touring the islands a clean and comfortable place to land for the night is what is needed for the mind and body. Serenity was spotless and stocked with everything one could need when on vacation from crisp linens and towels to relaxing spaces to unwind. And the layout of the house is perfect for more than one family. I would recommend this OBX home away from home for everyone and give it 5 stars all the way around!

About the host

Hosted by Lauralee Harding

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!
