Weekend Trip to 3 Bedrooms w/ Hot Tub & Fire Pit! Pet Friendly

I absolutely loved my stay here! Sam thought about everything! From the fire pit, to the incredible hot tub with coffee in the morning, I would return 100000 times! There are so many incredible things to do around there, I had the best day ever exploring around there and staying! I can’t wait to return!

This host communicated with excellent response times and even called to check on me while i was running late ( from kayak fishing til dark ) on the way to his lodging ! The entire rental lodgings were made to look & feel like a outdoor camp or retreat being it was along a pristine tidewater creek. The experience was just so friendly and Rizwan gave me the impression i was a welcome and appreciated guest. Definitely a great value & look forward to another stay at Serenity . thx Bluejay fan !

We had an amazing time! The RV was beautiful! It had everything you might need. You could bring your clothes and food and you'd be all set! The screened in deck was perfect!! We spent our time playing cards on our deck, cooking food, fishing from the floating dock, taking out the paddle boat and fishing from it, (there are also kayaks available) star gazing in the provided zero gravity chairs, and napping. Riz, the host, was a super cool guy!! A couple of the days there were a couple different campers nearby, yet it was still so quiet and felt private. We can't wait to come back! We plan to bring my boyfriends 14 year old son and his friend and we will rent the tent on the water for them, and the rv for us! They will love it!! Thank you Riz for an amazing stay your property you have built is impressive to say the least!

This was a great place to spend the night with my son instead of a boring typical hotel. It had just enough rustic flavor to feel like you were camping out in the woods over the water, but still had a shower and a toilet you could use which made it easier with a kid. Rizwan was very friendly and accommodating and would recommend this for anyone wanting a more natural camping experience.

Very nice cabin for staying on the bay - we had a fun time fishing and crabbing on a private island on a shrimping dock. The host was very responsive, and we enjoyed the stay.

We loved tent camping on the floating tent! Rizwan met us at the dock to make sure we were all squared away. There were lots of thoughtful amenities like propane fire pit, some toiletries, and access to kayaks. The common area gave us even more space to stretch out and relax, and the views were incredible! 5 stars for Rizwan

We had a great time at the camp site. Riz the host was great. He showed my boys how to throw the casting net and use the crab trap. We caught shrimp and bait fish that we tried at various spots. The heat and humidity got us but the site was great and well equipped. The boys liked being able to fish right off the floating dock. Would definitely recommend.
