Stunning property. It’s exactly as pictured. Plenty of room for everyone! Nice separation for bedrooms. LOVED the pool area. Lots of floaties and toys in the closet outside, wish we would have found it sooner!! Perfect location on island.

Denton/Belbot Family Spring Break, 2025
The house was perfect for our group. My wife and I; 6 of our adult children, with 3 of their significant others; and 3 grandkids. We enjoyed the pool with a hottub on a canal for our tritoon rental; we had a couple of golf carts. Everybody had a great time.

This property was a winner!
We were overall very happy with the property. We loved the pool and all the outdoor seating! The kitchen was very well equipped for our needs. (An ice machine would be a great add). We learned the dishwasher wasn't washing properly - but once we notified the management company a repairman was there the same day. A few negatives - The floors were a little squeaky and we had a few door knobs that were loose. The air couldn't be set any lower than 71 (We are all used to lower temperatures at night time.) The only box fan wasn't functioning, but thankfully there were ceiling fans. The location was a short walking distance (could use some newer beach chairs - and bicycles would have been a great add. All in all this home worked well for the four couples and we had a fantastic time.
Julie W., Richmond Hill - Posted: 6/7/2021
Thank you Julie for choosing to stay with us. So wonderful to hear you enjoyed the gorgeous pool & outdoor space as its quite a retreat after a full day of sun at the beach. Your helpful suggestions have been noted and will be passed on to our team. We hope you allow us to host you again on your next adventure to the island.

Anna Maria getaway
Great pre Christmas trip! There is possibly no better backyard than at this home! The pool area is like it’s own resort pool. The house is huge and clean but could use a few upgrades. The master bed was not very comfy and the bedding seemed worn. The small appliances toaster and coffee maker were really cheap for such a nice house. You can never go wrong with Anna Maria and this house is close to everything including the best sunsets you can find!!
Kristen M. - Posted: 12/28/2020
Thank you, Kristen! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks, too for your feedback on where we can improve the home - we will review these with our homeowner and staff. Hope to see you back again in the future!

Third summer in this house!
This house has been perfect for our family for three summers now. Excellent layout, beautiful furnishings, close to the beach, great pool! Always clean. This year we missed the sectional that use to be in the living room, but the new couches were comfortable too. Hoping to go back again!
Kelsey B. - Posted: 6/24/2020

Perfect Beach House
We had a WONDERFUL stay at Serenity Beach House. The property is very well furnished and maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing off the dock and enjoying the pool/spa. The hot tub was nice and HOT on those cool nights! We even had a heron visitor come check on us every day which the kids loved. Ashley was very responsive in communicating prior to check in and we very much appreciated her help! We will 100% come back. Loved this home!

Gorgeous home, perfect vacation!
We had an absolute wonderful time staying at this house. It accommodated our large family of 14 (10 adults and 4 children) perfectly! We only went out a few times to eat and stayed at the house the rest of the time. The pool and pool deck is huge and really makes you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation! We would highly recommended this rental for your next trip to AMI!
Jane R., Gotha, Florida - Posted: 9/26/2018
Hi Jane - Thank you so much for the great review! I'm so glad you and your family loved your stay at Serenity Beach, and felt the spacious accommodations fit your needs. I agree that the large back yard and pool/spa area is pretty fantastic and great for entertaining, cooking dinner, or just relaxing pool side - you really don't need to leave the home :) Looking forward to hosting you again soon! -Ashley

Beyond anything we could have expected!
We booked this home with a total of 10 family members for our beach wedding. Looking at the pictures, we knew there would be room for everyone and not feel overcrowded at all. All I can say is "WOW" did this home deliver. We bbq'd every night, used the pool everyday and the proximity to the beach was perfect. One huge plus, all families had private bathrooms and showers. I would rebook this home in a heartbeat as it was pure fun from the moment we arrived. Ashley was incredible to work with and so responsive to questions and a few minor repairs while we were there. If you are considering Serenity Beach, don't wait to book - this house is the real deal. Dave & Carrie
David W. - Posted: 7/1/2018
Dave & Carrie - Thank you SO much for the rave review! I am so happy this home worked perfectly for you and your family, and Congratulations on your wedding! We appreciate you taking such great care of this home during your stay, and gladly welcome you back anytime! -Ashley

Beautiful Home
House is beautiful and definitely on the higher end side. The only thing I was left wanting were a couple of ceiling fans on the second floor terrace. Would help with the heat and mosquitos. But it definitely would not deter me from coming back. Everything else was perfect. Ashley the host was easy to deal with.
Mariano C. - Posted: 6/24/2018
Thank you, Mariano! I'm happy this home worked for you and you enjoyed your stay. I appreciate the recommendation of ceiling fans on the 2nd floor and will definitely look into adding these. The view from this space is amazing overlooking the pool and canal - would love to enhance it further! Best, Ashley

Excellent.
Beautiful resort property, and great location. Had both of our children, and their children(total 5 grandkids and 10 people in all) and still plenty of room for everyone to be totally comfortable.

Bill - Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed this home and that I could give you and Sue a tour ahead of time. As I know you are local, beach weekends are still very fun! Please keep in touch and be sure to let me know when you're ready to plan your next family trip. Would love to host you again in the future! - Ashley
