Gulf Front House, 5 En-suites, Heated Saltwater Pool, Gas Fire Pit, Two Dens

We purchased this house in January 2018 and have earned the prestigious Premier Host badge.

Gulf front house (not a duplex unit) with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms all en-suites, and a Private HEATED SALT WATER pool. Walk from our house to the beach. Beautiful view of the beach/gulf from our house or our 2 decks. Watch dolphins swim by in the gulf or pelicans slowly flying by looking for the catch of the day. Four bedrooms have King beds, the 5th bedroom has bunk beds that sleeps 4. All bedrooms have attached en-suite bathrooms. There is a leather sleeper sofa in the second floor den that also sleeps two. The house has two dens. one on each level so adults and kids have their own separate living areas. The den on the first floor has a 75" 4K Smart TV and the den on the second floor has a 65" 4K Smart TV. Both 4K TV's also have a 4K blu-ray DVD player and a 3.1 surround sound bar.
Amenities include 7 HDTV's, each with a blu-ray DVD player.

We offer self-check in at our beach house. No having to drive to an office and wait in line to be able to check in to start your beach vacation. Electronic keyless lock, just enter your personal 4-digit code and your vacation has begun!

Newest amenity: GAS FIRE PIT. The gas fire pit is located in the sitting area near our heated saltwater pool. Enjoy the warmth of our gas fire pit on those cool nights as you listen to the waves coming in. Just turn on the valve on the propane tank and ignite the burner. No wood required or ashes to ruin your clothes.

First floor: The den has a leather sofa, leather love seat and 2 chairs, 75" 4K Smart TV with a 4K blu-ray DVD player, 3.1 surround bar, and a beautiful view of the gulf and beach.

We have made the following improvements to our beach house since we purchased it in 2018. New mattresses in each bedroom; all five bathrooms were completely remodeled (see details below); new leather furniture in both dens; new dining table, dining chairs, and bar stools; new furniture in all the bedrooms, all new kitchen appliances; seven smart HDTV’s; replaced both HVAC units and HVAC duct work; installed a pool heater; converted pool to salt water system, new LVP flooring on the first floor and new carpet on the second floor; complete repaint of the interior and exterior of the house and concreted our parking area.

Bathroom Remodel: we did a complete remodel of all 5 of our bathrooms. The bathroom remodel consisted of replacing the tub/shower units in all 5 bathrooms, new tile surround, new tile floor, new vanities with granite or quartz counter tops, new brushed nickel faucets, new light fixtures, new commodes and new mirrors.

We have 3 security cameras at our house. Two are located in the carport area pointed toward our driveway/street. The other camera is located at the top of the stairs and is pointed toward the stairs.

Family Beach Holiday

Expectations exceeded! Serenity Now was the perfect beach house for our family vacation. The sand begins at the end of the driveway where you can kick off your sandals and walk just steps to the water where you spend the day soaking up the sun and watching dolphins play. In the evenings we enjoyed hanging around the pool and grilling. The house is very spacious and we loved that there was an attached bathroom to every bedroom. The views from the decks were the perfect spot for morning coffee. Perfectly located off the beaten path so you can enjoy a slower pace of life but not too far from all the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. The owners have thought of everything to maximize your stay and were so attentive and wonderful to work with. My entire family was sad to leave. We will definitely be staying again!

Family trip

We went as a family of 13. We had all our own space. It was wonderful! Seeing the ocean from the kitchen dining room, easy to access the beach! The house was so well equipped! My three adult children, their spouses, and my husband and I loved it. We didn’t want to leave! Don and Cindy were very welcoming and gracious! I’d love to stay there again!

Fabulous Family Beach Vacation

Where to begin … Everything about this stay was perfect. Our whole family agreed completely. Here are some highlights: - The shortest distance we have ever walked to the beach. (Maybe 50 yards to water) - The pool was great and perfect entertainment for the young grandchildren. - House was extremely clean and well stocked, including the kitchen. - Direct communication with the very kind owners was helpful and thorough. - The decks overlooking the gulf were beautiful. - Having 2 different living room areas made everyone happy. - Very comfortable beds. - All the beach chairs and umbrellas, beach cart and toys you will need. - Loved the rinse area near the pool. - WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway

Serenity Now was exactly as wonderful as described. Don was an amazing host, checking in to ensure our group had everything we needed and that all aspects of the home were in working condition. Much better than working with the larger rental agencies who are difficult at best to reach. The home was equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 7 kids. We loved the location right on the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of being closer to Gulf Shores. The pool was heated and a great amenity when coming off the beach and this time of year when the Gulf is pretty cold. Would highly recommend this home and location! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

The perfect family vacation!

Not enough words to describe what a great beach house, Serenity Now, is or how wonderful the owner was in ease of communication, checking in on us and the thoughtfulness in making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway! Plenty of beach chairs, toys for old and young, umbrellas, towels, etc! Although we went on Spring Break and knew ahead of time that the temperature might be less than ideal, we still had a great time walking the beach, collecting shells, watching the grandkids play and enjoyed the many shows the active dolphins put on every day! The braver adults did enjoy time in the water and definitely the heated pool! We can’t think of another beach house we’d rather go to for our next family trip! We’ll be back!!

House was fantastic and had all of the little touches that make for a special rental. Once you leave the house you are on the sand and you can enjoy the beach and gulf. We also enjoyed coming back to the heated pool for relaxation in the evenings. The host is great to work with and genuinely cares about the experience of his guests. We would definitely stay there again.

This was our first time renting a Beach House and it was absolutely the best experience possible. The location of the Beach House was perfect. Right out the door we are on the beach.

Perfect!!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Serenity Now and it was truly amazing. The location was perfect, right on the beach with stunning views of the ocean. The house itself was spacious and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were cozy and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for cooking meals at home. The highlight of the trip was definitely spending time on the beach, whether it was swimming, sunbathing or taking walks along the shore. We had an amazing time in the evening admiring the beautiful colors that shone from the pool lights. The reds, blues, and greens were so vibrant and created such a mesmerizing effect! Overall, I highly recommend this beach house rental to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!! We truly have no complaints at all!

This property was great! It was beautiful, clean, spacious and furnished with anything you could possibly want or need. We had 14 family members and were very comfortable with the bedrooms and the 2 different living areas. We sent the kids upstairs and the adults downstairs so it was very accommodating for us. We had great communication with the owner and arrived a little early and he let us check in. After 7 1/2 hours in the car we were very grateful. The location to the beach was close and the views from the balconies were amazing. The pool was the best. Big enough to accommodate every one. We really enjoyed everything about this place and we will be back. thanks for the best vacation destination! We will be back.
