This house was the perfect beach house for my husband and I and our fur baby! It’s comfy, cozy, and right across the street from the beach! It was spectacularly cleaned upon arrival and the app for all the info on the beach house, beach access, access codes, and things to do was amazing! Will definitely be booking stays here again!

Cozy cottage beach getaway
We had a wonderful time! It’s in a great area and not right on top of other houses. The pool was a little on the warmer side but understandable due to Florida heat. Overall great time for a cozy stay. Loved the bikes as well
In all my years renting on VRBO, I've never had such a great experience/trip as this one. Hostsare very proactive with communications before, during and after the stay. The house is exactly as described and was spotless when we arrived. Having the pool was awesome. Everything you'll need for your stay was provided.One really cool thing is prior to check-in they gave me a link to download an app the has everything you need.... check-in info, restaurants in the area, activities, beach info, anything that you need.Definitely a place I'd go back to and would definitely rent from Kismet Properties again!
Everything was clean and the property was great. We enjoyed how easy it was to get to everything from the house and was on a very quiet street. Communication was great and we would recommend this house to all of our family and friends. Looking forward to staying here again soon!

A Vacation to Remember
Serenity Cottage was amazing! We really enjoyed our stay-the house and pool were just as described, and the walk to the beach was easy and pleasant (though we didn't have children with us). The property was very clean and comfortable, which we greatly appreciated.
The only challenge I had was the strong scent of “Fabuloso” upon arrival. As an asthmatic, it immediately triggered wheezing, and I needed to air out the home before settling in. While the cleanliness was excellent, using a lighter touch or a less-scented product would make the experience even better for guests with sensitivities.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return to Serenity Cottage!
We really enjoyed our stay at this sweet cottage! Our children really enjoyed the pool and it felt very private. Easy walk to the beach and quick drive to all activities. Management company was responsive and everything was great. Would definitely book this property again.
Two couples stayed in this house for 4 nights. The place was perfect for us and would have been perfect with another couple, too. It is super clean, well equipped, and close to the beach. There are 4 bikes that were awesome. The pool was just right. The beach access was an easy 2 minute bike ride and less than 10 minute walk. We cooked for ourselves all but two meals, so can’t comment too much on restaurants but will highly endorse Buddy’s Seafood Market if you’re interred in preparing fresh seafood at home.
We enjoyed our restful stay! The amenities around
the area were fantastic. We especially enjoyed the
house pool and the bikes. We will definitely be
back.

Great week at the beach
This was a great house to stay in for our family of four! It was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. The kids loved the pool and it was a relatively quick walk to the beach. We would stay here again.
House matched the listing perfectly in every way. Access to the beautiful beach was convenient and easy. My kids loved the pool, and we all really enjoyed our stay.
Super cute house! Great pool! Nicely decorated. Comfortable beds. Only two lounge chairs by pool was disappointing as we had four adults. Several times around the pool were loose. Also, second bath was really small.
Had an amazing long weekend. Thank you so much for the stay. Really great location. The bikes and pool were perfect amenities. Everything exactly as described.
Great location within walking distance to the beach. Private pool a huge plus. House well maintained and decorated. A few minor maintenance issues but would definitely stay again.
We loved this home it was the perfect little getaway, bed comfy & the pool was wonderful. The beach was a short walk to a private access. We will return & this is highly recommended if you want a more upscale experience.
This house and location is so perfect for a family who wants a private laid back and chill beach vacation. The beach is a super short walk and was never too crowded. The house fits a family of 4 very comfortably and the pool was so nice. The beds were comfortable and the decor was very cute and classy. I would love to stay again!
Property was very clean and was better than advertised. The owner and property manager were very responsive and helpful. The house has been updated and the beds were very comfortable. The outdoor areas were so nice. We are looking to book again!
The owners did a wonderful job remodeling this beach house, the beds were comfy, and the house was sparkling clean. My daughter and I really enjoyed the pool. It was by far the prettiest pool we’ve ever had in a rental.
We’ve stayed in numerous rentals in the Destin/30A area over the years, and this was by far the BEST. Beautiful house, perfect location and incredible pool!! We had a minor issue with the air conditioning, but the property manager was super responsive and the issue was resolved within hours. We will be back next time we vacation in 30A!
