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!

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.

Bright Spot During a Rainy Week

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.

A very nice property

It’s a very nice property in a good location. It’s close to the beach, stores, and interesting sites. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. I also liked the fact that Amanda kept in touch to make sure that everything was going well. We had a great time. I have only two criticisms. The kitchen window and sliding glass door in front of the house did not have curtains. This affected our privacy especially at night. Also, there is no kitchen table. Therefore, we used the center island in the kitchen area for eating and it was where I set up my computer.

Perfect for a family

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!

Summer Vacation

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.

Super cute cottage

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.

Sweet Serenity

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.

Beautiful home and welcoming owners

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!

Sweet Serenity Pre 4th of July Stay

We stayed at Sweet Serenity the week before July 4th and what an impeccable and perfect way to kick off the Summer Season! My husband and I and our two pups enjoyed an amazing stay and cannot thank Amanda and Adam enough for such wonderful hospitality!! Amanda was very responsive the entire week, and entering the home we were greeted with fresh flowers, music playing and the sweetest welcome note and gift (thank you!!)! The attention to detail was incredible as well as the decor in the house! The house is just a quick 0.3-mile walk to Baltic Rd beach access and thank goodness for the beach buggy supplied- helps you with only one quick trip for all of your beach neccessities. Everything was beautiful - including the weather! We enjoyed the beach and sunrises almost daily and enjoyed time at Jockey's Ridge and the Kitty Hawk kite store! I am a runner myself and enjoyed some early morning runs on VA Dare Trail without it being too crowded. This was the vacation that my husband and I have been waiting for from having our honeymoon cancelled and countless others due to hurricanes/COVID, so thank you thank you so much for a wonderful week Amanda and Adam!
