Serena by the Sea ~ Destin, Florida Vacation Rentals by Southern

Treat yourself to a beach retreat to Frangista Beach, Florida and stay with us at the Serena by the Sea vacation home. This adorable three-bedroom Destin, Florida vacation rental has a private pool for you to relax by after a great day down by the Gulf of Mexico. Built in the 1950s, this cottage has charm and character of that time period yet is updated with modern touches such as stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and more. Enjoy the screened porch and large fenced back yard surrounded by palm trees; this is sure to be the place where you spend most of your vacation time! Located two homes away from the beach, you will be able to walk down to the shoreline from this home in no time. Serena by the Sea is also pet-friendly for a great trip to the beach with your furry family member.

Walk or ride your bike to nearby beach restaurants from this home. If you are looking for a great place for all-day shopping you will be only a few minutes away from the Silver Sands Factory Stores and close to great dining and specialty shopping too.

This place was super close to the beach, which was perfect for our family with two young kids. It was easy to get to the beach and easy to come back for nap time, potty time, or just to get out of the sun for a bit. Centrally located and walkable to all essentials, and the pool is a nice alternative to the beach.

The home itself is location location! We’ve rented other vacation homes that seemed more vacation friendly. The sofa wasn’t cleaned and bed inside was filthy with dirt/stains. We were given sheets but the sheets do not make it any better to cover on top of a dirty bed. The pool was dirty and it would’ve been nice had more dish soap/pods were available. You def are paying only for location and be sure to bring your own beach towels, kitchen soap, detergent, food spices and paper towels, trash bags for the kitceh.. etc. The fridge didn’t really keep items cool such as drinks so we had to use the freezer. Overall it was nice for being closer to the beach..considering the beach entrance code did not work. We had to walk one block where the guard sits. The mgmt company was great at responding but the owners to the home should show more interest in making it feel home welcoming.
