Great relaxing family atmosphere

Great property in a great community right on the water so plenty of fishing and crabbing to do and very close to everything you could want to do.

Relaxing

The home itself is clean and tastefully decorated. The yard, pool and canal area were equally as well kept. The neighborhood is a lovely, quiet residential area. Great place for families!

October friends getaway

The home is in a beautiful location in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The home is extremely well appointed- the kitchen has a great supply of pots, pans, dishes & anything we needed. The owners were responsive and communicated clearly. It was a wonderful relaxing get-away week for our group of 5 friends & my mini Aussie.

Wonderful Getaway

Serene Dream was a perfect location to relax and enjoy the Outer Banks. The house had everything we needed, was in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood with nice canal views, and just minutes from the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a more gracious and informative host, either.

Hidden Gem

This was our second time staying at Serene Dream, and it did not disappoint. There is so much to love about this place. The location is perfect - close to a couple of grocery stores. The house is quiet and private. And Ron is the perfect host. Serene Dream is truly a hidden gem of Southern Shores!

Family Vacation

House, amenities and grounds were all excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was always something to do both inside and outside. Had a blast discovering what the OBX are about from the historic end to the beach end. Comforting knowing you had the house to come back to and continue the day with fishing, crabbing or inside game room. The house was stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. The hosts were very friendly and responsive when needed. All and all a great time. Peaceful and relaxing

Early Thanksgiving

Our family consisted of nine - one 4 year old great-granddaughter; two grandsons and their wives; our daughter and her husband; and ourselves (seniors). Ron, the owner, was exceptional to work with... kind, generous, helpful, answered all questions, and most of all, a very caring man. It had been quite a few years since we'd been to OBX so this visit/stay was special. And the weather for this time of year was perfect! I highly recommend this property for family and friends to gather for any occasion... wonderful location!

"Best. Trip. Ever! A Fun and Fabulous Getaway!"

Initially, we were a bit nervous about not being Oceanside, but we quickly realized it was the perfect mix of ocean and sound waters! This place has everything you could ever dream of—an amazing kitchen, spacious and comfy bedrooms, a fun game room, and an incredible outdoor living space! Everything, from the pool to the hot tub to the living spaces, was sparkling clean. The canal location was a bonus for fishing, crabbing, and kayaking. There’s something for everyone to enjoy! The ocean is just a hop, skip, and jump away! We loved the privacy and seclusion of this spot. A definite 10/10 from the Aldrich family! Ron and Marianne are the sweetest and super responsive! We’ve been coming to OBX for years, and this house is hands down our favorite. We can’t wait to book again!

Wonderful, relaxing vacation at Serene Dream

We had a wonderful vacation at Serene Dream with our family - kids and grandchildren. The grandchildren were ages 9-19. The house was great. It was a lovely home and had something for everyone from the well appointed kitchen, to the game room for the kids, to the pool for all. The parking passes to the private parking for those who wanted to go to the beach were a life saver to keep from having to hunt for and pay for parking. A couple of the older kids rode bikes one day that were there in the garage. We cooked on the grill every day. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the fishing and crabbing from the backyard. You really didn't have to leave the house if you didn't want, but if you did, everything was right there nearby and easy to get to. However, you would never know it by the way the house was tucked away in the cul-de-sac and trees on the water and was so peaceful. The owners were so nice and easy to get along with. We will definitely plan on staying here again.

Beautiful, well kept house. Online listing is very accurate, house is even better in person.

Great house in quite, tree lined, older neighborhood. Listing is very accurate- house is even better in person. Owner takes great care in this property, and it shows. Beautifully decorated. Owner is friendly and extremely quick to answer any questions or concerns you may have and follows up to make sure your needs are met. House layout is very accommodating for people with different needs. The grounds are well kept and beautiful, right on the canal. We even went crabbing from the backyard. If you have a kayak, you could launch it from the backyard. The owner has stocked the house with everything you could possibly need while on vacation. You will only need to bring food. Even left us some goodies upon checking in. We didn’t have any rainy days but if you do - there is an entire game room and a ping pong table and basketball shooting game in the garage. Also various games and puzzles in the closets. Check in is with a key code - so no going to an office and waiting in line. A hurricane had hit the area 2 weeks before our stay. The neighbors trees had come down hitting the pool area fence and in front of the house. The owner was quick to get it repaired so the pool area was open and the yard was free of debris. Next time we’re in OBX - this is where we will stay.

Southern Shore Vacation

I spoke to Ron prior to leaving for our vacation to his property. He never mentioned anything about the air conditioning unit not working properly on the second floor. He called to tell me there was a gift certificate for cookies and we would have to pay a few dollars because they increased their prices. His daughter was at the house and she used one and had to pay. He was upset that the cookie company was charging us. He should have informed us about the air conditioner when he called. As posted in the previous review on September 6,2023, the air conditioning was not functioning on the second floor. We arrived on September 9, and still not working. Ron offered to reimburse us for fans and inflatable mattresses. There were 3 fans at the house when we arrived. His daughter was there the week before we arrived. The nighttime temperatures were cooler than our week. The upstairs nighttime temperature was 83. We carried mattresses downstairs so everyone could sleep where it was comfortable. Our granddaughter slept in the primary closet. Our son slept in the dining room. It is a beautiful home at a great location. We enjoyed the pool and the beach not far from the homeWe had a wonderful time and made the best of the situation. Ron did refund us an additional $100.00 stating it was what he would have reimbursed us for an inflatable mattress. We paid for five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and a huge game room. We could not use two bedrooms, one bathroom and the game room.

Quiet Comfort!

My family absolutely loves this place. It is in a quiet neighborhood that is just minutes away from anything you could want to do at the beach. This location offers the quiet comfort that I need to recharge my batteries and is close enough for the rest of the family that wants to be on the go. Ron is the best host and will address any need asap. He will even call to check on you during your stay and tell you to call him if you need anything at all. Doesn't get any better than this in my opinion.

Excellent Location and Property

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our spring break stay at this VRBO location. The convenient location made it easy to go to the beach, the store, and wonderful restaurants. We were traveling with two 12 year old boys and needed an area where they could ride their bikes unsupervised without the worry of dangerous traffic. The boys found nearby parks and trails leading to the beach plus many areas to safety ride their bikes.The property had basketball, large yard to pass ball, a recreation room and the canal to fish, so the family had plenty to do even when it rained. The location was close to the unique area of the Duck shopping center (always a favorite pastime.) The home was so well laid out with plenty of room for my husband and daughter to work. Each bedroom had access to their own bathrooms and televisions. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and plenty of eating spaces. The hot tub was conveniently located off of the great room. Our hosts were excellent to work with and provided answers to all of our questions! We all were very delighted with our stay!

Best stay we've ever had

We loved everything about this property. The house is gorgeous with everything you would need. Trees on the sides and front give it a very private feel and is on a cul-de-sac so there is virtually no traffic. The back yard is right on the canal and provides a very peaceful setting and view. Shopping for groceries and a Walmart is very convenient at less than a mile away. The owner of the property was great to deal with and contacted us to make sure that everything was satisfactory. We would definitely choose here again on our next trip to the Outer Banks.

Stay at Kitty Hawk

The House advertised on VRBO as 5 Bedrooms, 5 baths etc. Only 3 Bedrooms and 4 Baths were were inhabitable, the upstairs Cooling was inoperable. the Temperature upstairs was around 92f during the day then around 85f during the night. Needless to say you cant sleep in that comfortably. I will use other means on the next Family Trip.

Beautiful OBX Vacation Home

We had a great time, and everything about the home was just as expected. Perfect home for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, swimming in the pool, going to the beach, or staying home and cooking and relaxing. The home itself seems so secluded, but it is also conveniently located close to shopping areas. The owner is fantastic.
