This place was excellent! One of the nicest places I’ve stayed especially for a great affordable price. If my travels take me back to the area I will be a return customer.
The house was perfect! The linai and pool are was great. We are our breakfast and dinner outside everyday and lounged in the pool. Very relaxing and so beautiful. Loved listening to all the birds! We had a wonderful stay! Thank you so much Leen!
Leen was an amazing host. We spent Christmas there and it felt just like home. She had everything we needed: kitchen cookware, plates, untensils, lots of towels, washer and dryer and more. Her home was very clean, and the heated pool was an extra bonus. I would definitely stay at Leens Serenity again!
Five of us stayed for a Girls Trip. The home owner made the experience easy and accommodating. We do not have a single complaint. The house was clean, pool warm, and location made it easy to get around. Whether we stayed home and floated in the pool, or went to Ft Myers and on a tiki cruise…it was exactly what us moms needed for our souls. Thank you for everything. Highly recommend.
