Family Vacation

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! Everything was very clean and well stocked. Great location and plenty of space for our group to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other in the house. Would definitely stay here again!

Host profile image
MEET YOUR HOST: RUPA SUNDER
I’m Rupa Sunder, and my passion for design and hospitality is the heartbeat behind Serene Stays. As a wife and mother, I know that the best vacations happen when the adults can truly relax because the kids are happy and the environment feels like home. I founded Serene Stays to create exactly that—sanctuaries where high-end design meets the practical comforts of family life.

THE SERENE STAYS EXPERIENCE
We believe a great getaway should be more than just a place to stay; it should be where your favorite memories are framed. Because my family and I personally spend time in our homes, we don’t just manage properties—we curate the lifestyle we love to share with others.

DESIGN WITH HEART | Every room is thoughtfully styled to be as functional as it is photo-worthy. I’ve personally selected the pieces that make our spaces feel both elevated and lived-in.

FAMILY-FIRST MENTALITY | From the Xbox and the High Chair to our "must-have" starter kit, I’ve designed this experience through the lens of a parent who wants a seamless, stress-free trip.

DOG-FRIENDLY & DETAIL-ORIENTED | We know a family vacation isn't complete without our four-legged members. We welcome your pups with open arms, providing a space where the whole family—furry friends included—can relax together.

PERSONALIZED HOSPITALITY | When you book with us, you’re not dealing with a faceless corporation. You are supported by a dedicated team that cares about your vacation as much as you do.

You deserve a retreat that is as extraordinary as your vacation plans. We’ve set the stage—all that’s missing is you.
