Summary
Welcome to Seaside Serenity, a peaceful getaway located on a quiet cul-de-sac. For beach days, you will be just 2 blocks from the soft white sand that you can either walk to or take the golf cart for easy hauling. For days you’d rather lounge at the pool, the large, private backyard, inground pool, seating/sunning areas, grill and outdoor fans are also a treat.
When you walk into Seaside Serenity, the airy, spacious vibe is perfect for spreading out for families or groups.Space

You can walk, drive, take the golf cart or the wagon/cart to the beach.
Please note: we do not charge any extra for our guests to use the golf cart because it's there and we want people to enjoy it. Every now and then it does need some TLC and fixing as it gets a Lot of use. We try hard to be sure it's in great operating condition at all times but if it happens to need a service call while our guests are there we are unable to provide any refunds.
There is room on the driveway for up to 6 cars, that is the maximum. And if not that many cars, 2 boats also fit comfortably.
*Please note: Parking on the street is not allowed at all.Notes
Due to so many large families that like to come, we have added a second golf cart for use! One is a 6-seater and the other one is a 4-seater.Interaction with guests
