Thank you for considering “Serendipity” for your next vacation! Our family loves this home and beautiful, private beach right out our back door. We use it as often as possible, but never enough! What's unique about staying with us is that you're getting a fully equipped "beach home" versus a high volume "beach rental". We limit the number of annual rental days which allows us to maintain the home by minimizing wear and keeping up with routine maintenance, and place a very high value on comfort and cleanliness. We aren't a business and make an effort to provide personal accommodations for our guests whenever we can. If the property is available for you to arrive a couple of hours early or depart a couple of hours late, we will happily offer that to you. If there is a hurricane in the forecast during your stay, we're not going to require a mandatory evacuation for you to receive a refund. Beach towels and chairs are provided, as are books, games and identification guides for local fish, shells and birds - everything you need to enjoy this amazing spot is already here and ready for your stay. Our goal is for you to have an easy, relaxing experience and enjoy the beach the same way our family does.
Best wishes,
Chris & Lisa
