Our stay was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The property exceeded every expectation we had. The location is perfect and is just steps away from the beach, with stunning views. The home itself was spotless, beautiful, and very comfortable. The outdoor spaces such as the heated pool and fire pit were spectacular. The host was fantastic, responsive, and made sure we had the best experience possible. A great location for a relaxing spring break.

Lots of space
We had all of our kids and grandkids in one house, but there was plenty of room for everyone. After an initial glitch with the stove, the Wards did everything they could to make things right as quickly as possible. The two decks were especially used. The pool was a perfect alternative to beach time. We had some loud neighbors the first night, but after that it was perfect.

This property was accurately advertised, unlike many properties on VRBO. The owner communicated and was available to answer any questions, although there were no issues. All the mechanical systems and appliances were working and the pool was clean and ready. This is a very nice beach property for larger groups.

Family Beach Holiday
Expectations exceeded! Serenity Now was the perfect beach house for our family vacation. The sand begins at the end of the driveway where you can kick off your sandals and walk just steps to the water where you spend the day soaking up the sun and watching dolphins play. In the evenings we enjoyed hanging around the pool and grilling. The house is very spacious and we loved that there was an attached bathroom to every bedroom. The views from the decks were the perfect spot for morning coffee. Perfectly located off the beaten path so you can enjoy a slower pace of life but not too far from all the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. The owners have thought of everything to maximize your stay and were so attentive and wonderful to work with. My entire family was sad to leave. We will definitely be staying again!

Where to begin … Everything about this stay was perfect. Our whole family agreed completely. Here are some highlights:
- The shortest distance we have ever walked to the beach. (Maybe 50 yards to water)
- The pool was great and perfect entertainment for the young grandchildren.
- House was extremely clean and well stocked, including the kitchen.
- Direct communication with the very kind owners was helpful and thorough.
- The decks overlooking the gulf were beautiful.
- Having 2 different living room areas made everyone happy.
- Very comfortable beds.
- All the beach chairs and umbrellas, beach cart and toys you will need.
- Loved the rinse area near the pool.
- WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway
Serenity Now was exactly as wonderful as described. Don was an amazing host, checking in to ensure our group had everything we needed and that all aspects of the home were in working condition. Much better than working with the larger rental agencies who are difficult at best to reach. The home was equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 7 kids. We loved the location right on the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of being closer to Gulf Shores. The pool was heated and a great amenity when coming off the beach and this time of year when the Gulf is pretty cold. Would highly recommend this home and location! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Not enough words to describe what a great beach house, Serenity Now, is or how wonderful the owner was in ease of communication, checking in on us and the thoughtfulness in making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway! Plenty of beach chairs, toys for old and young, umbrellas, towels, etc! Although we went on Spring Break and knew ahead of time that the temperature might be less than ideal, we still had a great time walking the beach, collecting shells, watching the grandkids play and enjoyed the many shows the active dolphins put on every day! The braver adults did enjoy time in the water and definitely the heated pool! We can’t think of another beach house we’d rather go to for our next family trip! We’ll be back!!
