Summer 2023

We had a great time again this year. There are so many amenities at Bayville Shores and it is close to shopping, restaurants and day trips to Ocean City, etc. The townhouse is very clean and well appointed and the owners are very helpful. We would definitely recommend Serenity On The Bay!

Wonderful home in a beautiful neighborhood with many amenities

I recently had the privilege of staying at a magnificent townhouse near Fenwick Island, DE, and I am thrilled to share my delightful experience with other potential visitors. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this townhouse was more than a rental property—it felt like a home away from home. Each room was immaculately presented, offering all the comforts and conveniences one could hope for on a vacation, coupled with an incredibly inviting and cozy atmosphere. The location itself was idyllic. Nestled near Fenwick Island, it gave easy access to the picturesque bayside beach, providing an exquisite backdrop for morning strolls and sunset vistas. However, what truly elevated the experience was the extraordinary range of amenities provided. A standout feature was the community pool. Impeccably maintained, it was the perfect place to cool down and relax after a day of exploring the local area. In addition, the nearby playground made it an excellent choice for families, providing a safe and fun environment for children to play and make memories. One of the most commendable aspects of this townhouse was the attention to detail. The host had clearly thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and hassle-free. There were bikes available for guests, allowing for adventurous rides around the beautiful locale. Even more delightful was the range of inflatable beach and pool floats, toys, and other essential items, all of which were in excellent condition.

Best Vacation Home Ever!

My family has been spending summers in Delaware and Maryland beaches for the last nine years. As our family has grown over the years, we needed to upgrade to bigger rentals. Serenity on the Bay lives up to its name in every way possible! David and Lauren provided a very clean, comfortable beach house with a emphasize on relaxation and convenience. The location is a quick drive on Rt 54 to the Maryland and Delaware side of Fenwick beaches and yet tucked away in a quiet community on the bay side. It was a real treat to enjoy the panoramic view of the small lake and wildlife from the comfort of the enclosed decks. We also took advantage of the community pool on a day where the surf was so rough it was not safe for the children. The place is well-stocked with everything as advertised (including towels!). My husband (who has a bad hip) and I utilized the bedroom suite on the first level which worked out perfectly because it is on the same level as the garage - we could roll our luggage through the garage door, down the hallway and into the bedroom suite (which had its own enclosed patio with a panoramic view of the lake and wildlife). The kids and grandkids stayed on the third floor, which provided plenty of room and privacy for all! The second-floor was the gathering place for the family to eat, play the games provided, watch TV with the surround-sound speakers and plan our day on the quiet deck observing the panoramic view of the lake with its osprey, white egrets, blue herons, ducks and geese. We even observed people fishing and catching fish. David and Lauren were very responsive when we had questions and it is very apparent that they have put a lot of love and care into their vacation home. They provided so many creature comforts too numerous to list, but very much appreciated. We are thankful that David and Lauren decided to share their lovely vacation home, it was a real treat and we will be back!

Summer 2022

Serenity on the Bay is a lovely, well-maintained property. The pool, tennis courts, bike/walking trails and bay beach are all a short walk away and the community is close to shopping and only a short drive to the ocean. We hope to stay here next year; it's a great place!

Delightful In Every Way!

Serenity On The Bay was the perfect choice. It was comfortable, clean and spacious! And Wow the kitchen air conditioning vent was a welcome surprise. There was nothing to want for! The location was great and we did not have any problems. Thanks so very much, Dave and Lauren!

About the host

Hosted by Dave & Lauren

We are Dave and Lauren (plus 3 kids!), from Northern VA. We love to travel, try unique cuisine and experience new adventures as a family. We enjoy outdoor activities, which are abundant in the coastal Delaware/Maryland area- it's also close enough for a weekend escape!

Why they chose this property

We always wanted to have a place to bring family and have a peaceful getaway, away from busy life. We fell in love with the location being so close to the beaches and the action, but in a tranquil and secluded setting by the bay. The community is wonderful and welcoming. We made renovations in spring 2021 that really made it feel like home, with a coastal flair!
We love coming here to make memories and hope you will too!
