Serenity Bay Beach Retreat
On the coast of Florida, Serenity Bay is the best place to forget your worries, relax, and be renewed.
Serenity Bay is such a perfect place to retreat to. You'll love watching nature & wildlife of Alligator Harbor, 14 thousand acres of preserved wetlands, from the deck. The marina is about 3.2 miles away- a fun bike ride from the house for a little libation and good food. You can also traverse to Bald Point State Park by bike or car for more wildlife viewing and hiking. Private shared beach access is also a block away to enjoy the tranquil bay and gulf beach serenity. There you can watch dolphins playing, various species of birds flying, and even deer wandering along the shoreline.

Serenity Vista Mountain Retreat
Situated just south of Highlands, North Carolina, Serenity Vista Mountain Retreat is the perfect place for rebirth amongst the beauty of mother-nature's masterpiece.
Situated at 3500 feet, this serene home is tucked away amongst the treetops. The views overlook a mountain valley golf course with surrounding mountains on all sides.

This place was so magical and peaceful. I felt completely connected instantly and able to make the gains I wanted in such a relaxing environment. The house is right on the bay and it is like you are transported to another world. I felt so at peace and able to connect to my vision of success so easily. Jenn was so easy to talk with and she gave very insightful comments that helped me understand how I was getting in my own way.

The mountain retreat’s lake is transformative! It is like you are entering a secluded world. I came back so rejuvenated and relaxed. I found my happy place.
Mountain Retreat Client
Jenn was so insightful and easy to talk to. I felt like I was on vacation with a friend. We got to some core issues that were holding me back from my future. Paddle-boarding in the private, serene lake was incredible. I felt like I was completely secluded from my woes of day-to-day. It was impossible not to be immersed in that peaceful space. - Retreat Client

This is a lovely, clean, really thoughtfully appointed cottage at Serenity Bay. The view from the dock is magic. Watching all of the birds swooping and diving while mullet slap their hellos. One morning, we saw an otter glide by! Sunrise and sunsets are so easy to enjoy here. Even better, a dolphin to greet the day!

If you are looking for a peaceful place in old Florida to unplug, this place is perfect! Serenity Bay is squeaky clean, roomy, and comfortable. The views of the marsh are breathtaking, and there is a well-maintained boardwalk out to the water. Alligator Point is narrow, and so you can also get a glimpse of the ocean from the bedrooms. Even though the point is somewhat remote, you won't feel isolated and cell phone/wifi signals were plenty strong. The setting is a birdwatcher's paradise, and the night sky is stunningly beautiful.
