Relaxing getaway
Our extended family had a wonderful and relaxing vacation at Serenity Bay. There is so much to do at the house that we didn't feel the need to go "offsite" much at all. We enjoyed the pool, deck, game room, pond/bay, watching movies, playing board games, and just hanging out together as a group. The weather wasn't the greatest for the 2nd half of the trip, so the game room was a very popular space for us to entertain ourselves. The front porch swing was also a favorite spot for reading and relaxing. The kitchen and dining areas are awesome and made meals, meal prep and food storage very easy. Serenity Bay is a great place for a large group to enjoy spending time together.

Awesome getaway
Truly great location offering a private dock from which to watch the sun rise and set and one of the biggest, deepest private pools I've ever encountered. The host, Janice, has gone the extra step to put together an illustrated guidebook with all the details you need or want to know about the property and amenities, and all the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen were labeled. The only negative we encountered was the massive amount of pollen pods covering the entire pool area and furniture, which we cleaned up ourselves with a pushbroom the first day. Also keep an eye out for guinea fowl.

Fun location for family getaway
We had a great time at the property. The open floor plan made it easy for all of us to gather in the same space without being on top of each other. The kids loved the game room and exploring the pond. Janice was super responsive to all our questions. We'd recommend this place to everyone!

Lots of fun for the Family
This spot is focused on a family vacation with many options for the group to be entertained! The older children loved the pier for watching the fish and birds and pulling up their crab pot regularly. (A great opportunity to get away from electronics). The pool was a great hit for the entire family. The layout of the house was perfect for interactions and for being together. The fire pit was a nice feature as well. Many little details were included for the guests' comfort and ease of use. Crab eating and grilling tools, dishes and cookware were plentiful. Having two refrigerators was a bonus for a large group. Plenty of comfortable seating and a large table with chairs made this accommodation perfect for our 10 person family. We found the accommodation clean and set up for safety for the children. Regular maintenance was evident. Having the washer and dryer available was great for not having to carry home a lot of dirty clothes. Overall the entire family enjoyed all this vacation spot offered for us. One suggestion would be to have an outside ramp into the house, as we had one handicapped person. The stairs were of low rise, but a railing would have been helpful. The family in the garage apartment were so helpful to answer questions and give us options of things available in the area. They were totally unobtrusive and friendly.

Pros and Cons
Pros: - Janice replied promptly to questions I had leading up to our vacation. - The house has large common areas and plenty of sleeping space. The basement was a bonus and was very popular with the kids. - The pool is very large and clean. - The kitchen is well-stocked. Loved having two refrigerators! Cons: - There were some cleanliness issues, specifically in the bathrooms. (Large accumulation of hair on the master shower drain, dirty shower walls & floors, mildew on the hall bath shower curtain, to mention a few.) - Although the listing says nothing about cameras, there are cameras at the front and side doors and at the pool. We weren’t there to do anything wrong, but a camera at the pool felt like an invasion of our privacy. However, I didn’t find out about it until 2 days before our arrival. I feel strongly that the presence of cameras should be revealed in the property listing. - The listing says beach towels are provided, but we only had 4 available to us. We also had only 2 hand towels, and just 1 dishrag and 2 dish towels in the kitchen. - The pool doesn’t have shade during the day. I saw this mentioned in a previous review so we brought a pop-up canopy to use, which worked well. - I know that hosts don’t have to allow early access, but my husband and I happened to arrive 20 minutes early and were told, “The property cannot accommodate early check in or late check out since time is required from the cleaning crew in order to prepare the property and deliver it in pristine condition to the next guest.” There was no cleaning crew there when we arrived. We unloaded our stuff onto the porch and sat there for 20 minutes. It just rubbed me the wrong way and wasn’t a great way to kick things off. I probably wouldn’t have minded as much had the property actually been in pristine condition, but it wasn’t. I’m a host also, and if my property is clean and ready to go, I let my guests in early – especially if it’s just 20 minutes.

About the host

Hosted by Janice

Host profile image
Mark and I live in Bowie, MD and have a long tradition of spending summer vacations at the beach. When our children were growing up, our vacations were spent with other families with children in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We always rented a house or two that would accommodate several families. These vacations in the Outer Banks will always hold a special place in my heart and memory.

When we started our search for a vacation house, we decided to aim a bit closer to home so that we could spend more time there. We love the Southern Maryland area because it has coastline on the Chesapeake Bay, Potomac river, Patuxent river and other rivers and waters. And so It has lots to offer every member of the family, lots of beaches, water trails for kayakers, hiking trails, local museums, towns to explore, both historic and ‘small town’. There is also fishing and boating available. See the ‘features’ for detail on these attractions. Of course, there is still my favorite thing which is to put my chair in the sand, put those sunglasses on my face, enjoy the view of the water and open my book.

Our children are now grown and we have grandchildren, so we enjoy having a house that is spacious enough for the family and extended family to spend time together. With close to 4000 sq feet of space, this house has plenty of room to spread out and still be together. We want to share our house with other family groups so that they could enjoy spending vacation time with one another.

Some of my favorite things about Serenity Bay are the view of the water, the charm of using the kayak or paddle boat, the dock to take a stroll on. And the relaxed feeling that overtakes me as I arrive.
