This cottage is exactly as pictured and more. It is in a great location, spotless, beautifully decorated, close to the beach and Dowdy Park (pickle ball court)! The host was a great communicator and very thoughtful. Our favorite part of the house was the deck as it was not only covered, but also sheltered by pine trees. It was like a treetop escape. Thank you Amanda for a wonderful week. We will definitely be returning!
We loved our stay! Conveniently located, thoughtfully decorated with all the amenities you need, we will definitely stay again the next time we visit Nags Head. Amanda is a really great and accommodating host. Highly recommend visiting the dunes at Jockey Ridge State Park.
All the comforts of home.... but in OBX!! The owner does such a nice job with decorating!! Great location, short distance to the beach, within walking distance and a coffee shop right next door. Had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this property!

We love our repeat guest - as always, great having you Corey :)
My family and I had such an amazing stay. The property was beautifully furnished and you can’t beat the location - so close to the beach. Also - so many fun things to do for my kids ! Best time !
Nicely decorated, well equipped, convenient location
The home was clean, well equipped kitchen, and location was close for shopping, sightseeing, beach and restaurants. Hosts were great at communicating and left us plenty of supplies for our stay and some welcoming treats! Thank you Amanda!
Amanda was an amazing host for this property, super clean, very up to date, kitchen was immaculate and the outdoor shower was to die for, perfect location for being in walking distance to the beach and just a short trip to all amenities needed
Great property with incredibly welcoming owners
Super dog friendly -
Bowl for water and a welcome note by the door as well as a bottle of wine on the fridge!
What’s not to love!!

We had a great time at this cottage! Super clean and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor shower, quick walk to the beach, and riding bikes to different restaurants in the area. You can’t go wrong with this cottage. I highly recommend!

I'm glad you took advantage of the bikes and the new outdoor shower! Until next time:)
This property was amazing! The hostess was phenomenal and met every need we had. Just a 2 minute bike ride to the beach. My wife and I will be c on king back!
This was our first visit to the OBX area so we used this opportunity to explore the entire area. Walking over to the coffee shop next door was a huge bonus. The neighborhood is just off of a busy street so there were tons of activities and places to visit. The owner Amanda was incredibly welcoming and communicative. We loved our visit!
Vacation with a toddler and 2 dogs couldn't have gone better! Outdoor shower and the toys provided were amazing. Sweet serenity was super clean and cozy - we felt right at home. As first timers, we really enjoyed Amanda's long list of recommendations. Highly recommend!

We are so glad that you had a wonderful, 1st time trip to the Outer Banks!
We just had a wonderful week in Nags Head, staying at Sweet Serenity. The house was exactly as advertised, clean, stylish and well-appointed. The location is very convenient, with the beach, restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. There's a bit of road noise, but after a short while we didn't really notice it. We would definitely stay here again.
Updated and very modern with every amenity you will ever need! Amanda is the sweetest and so thoughtful. She checked in on us, left a welcome gift and even delivered a nice surprise. We would highly recommend and would love to come back!

Thanks C - we are glad you were able to enjoy our updated space! We are so grateful for guests like yourself:)
Amanda went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect vacation! The house was even better than the pictures - it was clean,comfortable, and an easy walk on the beach. the little extra touches like fresh flowers, music playing when we arrived and wine in the fridge were amazing! The front porch was perfect for lazy mornings with coffee from next door and evening sunsets.

RA - Drinking coffee and sitting on the porch is my favorite!
Everything about the week at Sweet Serenity cottage was flawless. Amanda, the owner, obviously takes great pride in her home. The cottage is super clean, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. It is conveniently located and a pleasure to stay at. Bikes are a big plus. Amanda is a great communicator and does everything to make your week enjoyable. We will be back.

We loved having you, EC! Hope to have you back again:)
We had such a wonderful time here. The house was perfect—the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, and multiple types of coffee makers for the coffee lovers. There was a high chair for our infant, as well as a pack and play. So many games too, which would be great for families with kids! The best part was that all the beach items were provided: beach cart, umbrella, and chairs. It made getting to the beach so easy, and it’s only a short walk away! The gated balcony was perfect for the dogs and baby. We loved it here, and will definitely come back to this property!
It was cold and windy and not quite beach weather while we stayed at Nags Head. This cottage was cozy and aesthetically adorable and made us feel at home as we stayed cozy. Great porch for the dog to hang out in and lovely kitchen! LOVED the outdoor shower even though it was a bit chilly I stilled showered in it! Really REALLY close to a lovely coffee place and several 4*+ restaurants and the quickest 5 minute walk to the beach. Amanda was lovely and gave us wonderful recommendations of things to do. We had a lovely time and definitely recommend.

Thanks for being a wonderful guest! You are welcome back anytime!
The house was perfect. Everything you could possibly need was at your fingertips. Comfortable, clean, and new... the house was our bright spot during a rainy week. The kitchen if fully stocked with anything you need to prepare a full meal or just snacks and drinks. Close to everything. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants and grocery store. Owner very responsive and great to work with as we planned for our stay.

DK - We are so glad you found our home comfortable - we want all of our guests to feel right at home!
My girlfriend, our 10-month old puppy, and myself decided to go on a quick vacation at the end of the summer to spend some time to ourselves. It was a very good decision and we could not have picked a better place to stay. The house was super clean and organized and it perfectly fit our little family. Amanda was so helpful throughout the booking, checking in, and checking out process. It is very obvious that she cares about this house and it shows in a great way. We had everything we could ask for during our stay and felt very much at home.
I would definitely recommend this house to anyone would wants to take a vacation down in the OBX. I will certainly be booking again through Amanda after such a wonderful experience.

About the host
Hosted by Adam and Amanda Mille
Adam and I (Amanda) live in Chesapeake, VA with our 2 sons, Spencer (14) + Parker (12) . We have always dreamed of owning a beach home and in 2016 our dreams came true! When we purchased our 3 bedroom cottage, Carolina Dreaming in 2016 we never imagined the pure joy that being host would bring to our family. In 2019 we purchased our 2 bedroom cottage, Sweet Serenity. In 2025, we purchased our first property in South Nags Head, Permanent Vacation. We say this all of the time but we have been truly blessed with absolutely amazing guest who have stayed at our cottage!
Adam's love of real estate and Amanda's passion for antiquing and interior decorating, make us perfect duo to manage a vacation rental home.
Why they chose this property
From the minute we stepped into this cottage, "Sweet Serenity" we fell in love - despite the dated bathrooms, wood paneled walls, popcorn ceilings and no overhead lighting (only lamps). We instantly saw the potential that this home had and with the right amount of love we saw the memories that could be made in this cottage!
What makes this property unique
This cottage is located directly behind the gardens of our favorite coffee shop, Morningview Coffee. We love getting a cup of coffee and sitting on the front deck!
