Description Description
Situated just two lots back from the ocean, Serenity Shores is a well-maintained home with ocean views, a variety of amenities and a short walk to the beach. The classic Saltbox design features an open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings and newly installed LVP flooring. The chef in the family will appreciate the spacious kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. You'll have plenty of space for outdoor living too, with a screened porch and two levels of sun decks on the east side of the house for watching the sunrise and enjoying the ocean breeze. Serenity Shores includes five bedrooms, four of which have ensuite baths to give family and friends plenty of privacy. Pets are welcome, so even your furry companions can accompany you!

Downstairs, the rec area will provide hours of indoor entertainment and friendly competition with a pool table, foosball table and arcade games console. There's also a dedicated theater room where you can host movie night, watch the big game or catch up on your favorite show. Outside, take a refreshing dip in the saltwater pool or a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The pool can be heated certain times of the year, ideal for off-season getaways. There's also a pickleball court in the driveway with paddles and a portable net.

Getting to the beach is hassle-free using the 4th Avenue beach access less than 125 feet from the house. Load up the beach cart to easily transport all of your gear, toys and snacks. Serenity Shores is a member of the Southern Shores Civic Association, which provides exclusive parking privileges at the nearby Hillcrest Drive beach access (two parking passes provided). The association's soundside park is the perfect place for kids and dogs to get some outdoor playtime. Launch your kayaks and SUP's and explore the marsh and abundant wildlife in the Currituck Sound. Other park amenities include a tennis court, playground and boat ramp.

Serenity Shores is conveniently located on the north end of Southern Shores, so you'll be just minutes from the heart of Duck Village. Bring your bikes and take the multi-use path from 4th Avenue to a variety of shopping, dining and activities. The Town of Duck Amphitheater holds numerous outdoor events and activities throughout the year. There's also a public park complete with a soundside boardwalk that takes you on a delightful stroll along the water to a variety of boutiques and restaurants.

Pets allowed. No smoking/vaping. Ask about our Military Discount.

we found serenity shores for our honeymoon and couldn’t have been happier with our choice! We enjoyed all of the amenities the house had to offer along with the area. We rented bikes from Kitty Hawk Bikes for a reasonable price. We had them for a week and they picked them up and dropped them off- definitely an added bonus to be able to bike around! We will be back for sure!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Emily! We're glad that Serenity Shores was the perfect spot for your honeymoon. It's great to hear you enjoyed the amenities and had fun exploring the area by bike. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay!

The only improvement I would suggest is better lighting in the living area. It is difficult to read a book in the evening, even with all the lights turned on. At least if there were brighter bulbs in the lamps that might help.

Thank you for your feedback, Bill. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the lighting in the living area and will certainly take it into consideration for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Serenity Shores was the most well stocked with every amenity you can think of Airbnb we have ever stayed at!
The first level alone had a theater room, a foosball table, pool table, laundry room, bedroom, and bathroom. The main floor level was spacious, with an incredibly stocked kitchen of appliances, that I don’t even own at home. The outdoor decks, and even a screened in one with seating, provided so much opportunity to get out and enjoy, the beautiful weather. The beach is so close you can hear it as you sit out on the deck. Not to mention the beautiful and hot tub that was available to us right at our resort. We would definitely return here again! Oh, and pickle ball in the driveway , complete with nets and equipment , was so much fun!!!

We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay! Thank you, Village Realty.

Serenity Shores was the perfect home for our honeymoon. We enjoyed how quiet and secluded the neighborhood is and how close it is to Duck and Kitty Hawk. The beach access is so close and we were even able to walk to the sound side to catch a magnificent sunset and we were able to see a beautiful show from the northern lights on the upper deck.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Nick. We're pleased to hear that Serenity Shores provided the perfect setting for your honeymoon. The quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach and sound make it a lovely choice for special occasions. We hope to host you again for future getaways! Best wishes, Village Realty.

Home was as described. It is in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood and very close to the beach. The location was perfect if you want a relaxing vacation and still be a short drive from restaurants and local attractions. We will not hesitate renting this home again.

We loved our time at Serenity Shores! There was a lot of rain the first half of our trip so we made good use of the board games & game room on the lower level. We loved being so close to the beach- nighttime crab walks were always a hit! We had multiple families staying in the house and all felt like we had ample room to recharge and then come back together for meals and board games in the huge kitchen & eating area. We will definitely be back!

Location is nice, easy walk to the beach. Plenty of room for everyone at the house. Pool/hot tub were nice. Check in was easy. Something’s in the house seemed a little worn out /broken but that’s the only negative thing we can say so overall a good experience!

The house exceeded my expectations! It was pristine, the perfect size for our two family’s (4 adults, 6 children). We paid to have the pool heated, it was a bit chilly outside for late April, but having the pool heated was well worth it! There are a lot of board games at the house as well as a cart with sand toys and basketballs with a hoop in the driveway and indoor activities like a theater room, pool table and foosball table. We were all very happy with the house and are very glad we picked it! I highly recommend staying at Serenity Shores!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Village Realty is happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay. We strive to provide an amazing vacation experience, that you and your family will look back onto for years to come. Off season is a wonderful time of the year to explore the outer banks. The shops, beaches and restaurants are certainly slower paced, and you the guest are able to enjoy the sights at leisure. We will be happy to help you with your next vacation booking and look forward to seeing you again. Safe travels! MH

We had a fantastic stay, the house was packed with games and lots of activities to keep everyone entertained. Location of the home is absolutely perfect, walking distance to the beach and short drive to anything you need. The staff were very responsive, friendly and easy to contact. No complaints at all. We definitely will plan to stay again!

Loved our stay at Serenity Shores! Felt like home away from home! Everything was amazing, clean, and comfortable. We didn’t expect the pool to be open during our stay, so having it for the week was a pleasant surprise also! Would love to stay here again.

Close enough to walk to beach even for my mom who just had hip surgery. House was neat and clean. Kitchen even had a NutriBullet and an airfryer.

The beach cottage was refreshingly clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped everything needed to prepare meals. The most impressive aspect of the cottage was the very short walk to the beach access. We will definitely want to enjoy another vacation at this cottage again!

The house was everything we needed! Weather wasn’t the best, so the movie theater and pool table were definitely a hit! The a/c went out on the top floor, but maintenance had it fixed the same day! Kitchen was stocked very well as we cooked all our meals. Lots of space throughout the home, spa and pool were clean and nice. Super close to the beach. Best house we’ve rented yet!
