Recent Reviews
Ultimate Beachfront home w/ Pool, Paddleboards, Private Dock
Serenity Beach House
The home was beautiful, however if access to the water including paddle boarding, kayaking and similar activities is of interest, I couldn’t recommend it more. We enjoyed being able to walk out the back door and into the water. When you exit the small community there’s a small market across the street. Everything else was within a few minutes drive or a water taxi.
