The hosts were very thoughtful, kind, and responsive. We had our 17 and 20 yo daughters and their friends and all had a great time! It was nice staying on the beach and being close enough to the water that the ladies could swim and we could keep track of them from the house. The proximity to St. Augustine was nice.

Amy, our host, was great on communication and our check in process was easy and thorough. House was stocked with everything you’d need to get started, and then some. Everything was close to include St Augustine within 15 min, Publix, great restaurants and Guana River State park a mile from the house. When we weren’t on the beach we were at the park hiking. Also has kayaking and biking (can rent there). Definitely recommend. ##### Cheryl W. Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam W.

Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy & Adorable Beach Cottage Our family of five (mom, dad and three adult children) recently stayed at "Serenity Shores" for the 4th of July holiday week. It was perfect for us and all of our needs were met! Amy was a wonderful hostess - she was a good communicator and met us at the property to walk us through all the details we would need for the week. We had only one small issue, which Amy resolved within hours, and she checked on us to make sure we were having a great stay. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches: both types of coffee makers (with supplies), our favorite drinks and snacks (she asked in advance - like I said - thoughtful!), multiple gathering spots indoors and out and plenty of extra towels, pillows and blankets. We loved the patio spaces and proximity to the beach! Literally just a few steps away. Because this is a residential area, the beach was never crowded, yet we were a short drive to restaurants, stores and activities. We brought food back to the cottage each night so we could enjoy the views and each other. We played games and lounged in the hammocks. The footprint of the house is not big, but Amy has created an adorable and welcoming cottage that our whole family truly loved. Our daughters were obsessed with the vintage aqua microwave. So cute! Thank you, Amy, for treating us like family. :-) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ff427f16-dc32-4fd6-8a72-127af13f4f54-1752092231073.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/725999d9-2816-405a-a00b-d92d27b96c07-1752092231057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d950265c-697c-465d-9b62-e8091d0fd415-1752092231242.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b6b5abbf-c2aa-462e-a8d2-db9a6b2bd9a5-1752092231160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel B.

We found tons of shark teeth and sea glass!! We drove 16 hours from Michigan to stay at this beautiful house and it was totally worth the drive! Amy really made you feel welcome and checked in on us via text to see if we needed anything threw out our stay. We can not wait to come back to Amy’s place next time we are in this area of Florida!! ##### Miles P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mollie S.

Amy was VERY accommodating! She was easy to communicate with, greeted us upon arrival, checked in on us and even left us a few treats/extra goodies as a welcome gift. She also provided us with recommendations on places to visit and eat, and they were all amazing. The house was the perfect size for 4 of us- it was clean and stocked with plenty of linens, beach towels, and toiletries. The house is just a few steps from the beach and also has an amazing view from the kitchen/living room. I highly recommend booking this rental, we will likely be booking with Amy again in the future! ##### Mollie S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karie B. Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect spot If you are looking for a gorgeous, tranquil, cozy yet bright oasis with a sprawling beachside view that will take your breath away and nothing but sand between your toes (literally steps from the deck), the hum of the ocean, a blanket of stars above and a deck that you could stay on forever, look no further. You can walk for miles on the wide-open beach or just sit on the deck with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. We watched the sunrise every morning from the idyllic private deck (you can also just watch it from the master bedroom if you want to!), and listened to the rhythmic lap of waves. You can lie in the hammocks and stare at the stars until the night fades away. Amy is a perfect host - she is responsive, communicative, kind, professional, and everything about the place was perfect. It is clean, organized, has all the amenities, and tons of charm to boot. We could have stayed so much longer! Will definitely be back…not soon enough! ##### Karie B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer S.

The house, living room, and beds are comfortable, clean, and easily accommodated the whole crew. We had our 1 year old grandson and it was easy to let him run around and play after moving only a few decorations out of his reach. The hostess went above and beyond to provide cute soft new bedding for the pack n play and there was also a high chair for meal times. We loved being able to play on the beach, collect shells, and use all the sand toys and then, when little man got tired, rinse him off in the outdoor shower and lay him down for a nap and adults could still be outside with the travel monitor we brought. Communication with the hostess before, during, and after was easy, thorough, and thoughtful. We’d definitely stay here again! ##### Jennifer S.

Immediately, we knew the owner cared about the property, and us guests having a wonderful, relaxing time. Her communication was above and beyond professional and courteous whenever we had questions. The house itself has been nicely decorated and maintained. It comfortably accommodated four adults and a baby, though there were beds for more kids or adults if necessary. We loved having easy beach access, numerous hammocks for relaxing, and a shower station to rinse off from the beach. The deck is fantastic day or night! With the baby, we cooked and prepared most of our meals with ease, which was important to me. I also appreciated having laundry access, and a sliding door off the master bedroom for early morning quiet time on the deck without disturbing everyone else. This place is great for family and adults alike, but most importantly a great place for a relaxing getaway beachside. ##### Kaitlin H. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynne W. Jul 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Retreat My four friends and I had a wonderful time at Serenity Shores. We wanted for nothing as Amy makes sure you are well taken care of. From the get go, Amy was responsive to my questions and any needs we might have. She provides a thoughtful array of treats upon arrival and makes sure all is well during your stay. The house was so comfortable. It was perfect for us to put puzzles together, lounge on the deck to watch amazing sunrises and sets, hang out on the beach, and grill out. The large screen TV in the living area made for great Olympic game watching. We appreciated the well supplied kitchen, especially the wine refrig/cooler. The house was spotless and stocked with soap, paper products, and a sundry of items like first aid kits, sun lotion, electric. Beds were very comfortable and there was a good supply of towels and beach towels. What we enjoyed the most was the feeling like we were on a private beach. We had the beach behind the house to ourselves. The last day we had a private dolphin show. South Ponte Vedra is a great location. Publix was about 10 min away and it was about a 20 min drive to historical St Augustine. You can head north to Ponte Vedra for Target/regular shopping needs. Only recommendation I would make is to try to secure reservations for restaurants ahead of time on weekends. The surrounding places get extremely crowded this time of year, which is to be expected. Amy is happy to suggest some great places. Looking forward to planning a return trip! ##### Lynne W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin R. Jul 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect getaway Our family of 5 just returned from our stay at Serenity Shores and want to turn around and re-check in! We spent the days alternating between beach (which is literally steps away-no streets to cross, no long dunes to cross) and relaxing inside for lunchtime, and back to the beach. We swam, found shells and shark teeth, made sandcastles, and checked on the progress of the many turtle nests scattered up and down the beach. We watched pelicans diving for food and dolphins making there way along the shoreline. The view from the living room/dining room/kitchen area (which is open and airy) was amazing from all sides. The ocean on one side and the preserve (with great sunsets) on the other. The view from the master bedroom makes it easy to wake up (especially when the kids are ready to go to the beach at 7am 😁). It’s beautiful. St. Augustine is very close, but we never left the house (except to go to the grocery store which is about 10 minutes away). The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, there was a working grill, and laundry. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and ready to go. Finally, I have never been treated so well by a host! I feel like I am friends with Amy at this point! We were delayed in our arrival due to an accident on I-95, but she made sure we arrived safely and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. They left the grownups a bottle of wine and enough coffee to survive anything. For the kids, they left some inflatable floats and small toys for their enjoyment. The gesture just made you feel taken care of, which is a nice feeling when on vacation. We all highly recommend Serenity Shores. It’s easy to get to, right on the beach but also close to a fun town. This is a place we would definitly return to! ##### Erin R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi c.

Its also a great location to base a good long walk either N or S along the shore. One thing though is that it is listed as 7 beds and there are really 5 with a couple fold-outs that don't measure up to an actual bed and counting an outside shower as a 3rd bedroom is a stretch. Still, the hosts were nice and the stay was enjoyable - the listing's photos show the white interior's beach home feel. We couldn't get the outside lights to work consistently as I'm sure there's a significant salt spray issue but the extra molded chairs provided below the deck came in handy for surf sitting. Both propane tanks (grill, fire pit) were very low so we replaced one with new. We found no bugs inside! Overall a very nice stay we'd consider coming back for. ##### L W.
