House is beautiful and room was fine.

This place is close to the beach, restaurants, shops, bike rentals, etc. Had a little trouble checking in as the keys weren’t where they were supposed to be, but got a quick response from the owner/manager. Loved being able to sit on the front porch to read and just watch the world go by.. The porch was a popular place with everyone saying there .

The upstairs rooms were comfortable, the TV had a cable connection and the wifi worked. It was perfect for a couple day- stay. For our 2-week stay, the mini fridge was too small, the shower stall (like a phone booth) was too small, and the single-ply toilet paper was disappointing. There were lots of nice towels. And Sarah was always available if there was any questions or issues. The need was comfortable. We would definitely come back for a short stay.

Great location for a vacation. Centered in the middle of it all. Maybe a little tight for 4 people but, with so much to do in the area, we were hardly in the room at all. Beds were comfy which is important when traveling and all you want to do is pass out after a long day.

Nice

Nice family getaway to heaven on water. The house was easy to find and parking was simple.

Very cozy apartment type rooms just steps from downtown and the beach. Always enjoy our stay here!

Loved landing at the Serendipity House just as the summer arrived. Never got back into the car, everything is walking distance. Definitely will return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for an anniversary weekend. The location — two blocks to the beach one direction, and two blocks to the brewery and restaurants in the other is ideal. It is a bit noisy from the other guests, but that is to be expected in a house of this age. All-in-all, we had a wonderful weekend, and will be back. I’d recommend adding a guestbook of some sort, so visitors can leave their notes and impressions for the next guests. It’s always nice to see how far people have travelled to get there!

The Nannybird is in a great location and is a small but nice suite. Perfect place to stay for a beach weekend :)

The overall experience was good. There was a discrepancy between the listing and what was actually in the unit. When you search for 2 bedroom 1 bath this listing comes up. There is one bedroom and a living room with a pull out couch. The matress on the pull out couch is an air matress. It was very comfortable. Better than your standard pull out couch mattresses. The online description says there is shampoo and standard soaps, the detailed description after you have paid for the property says no bath soap and no shampoo. Anyway just FYI, the owners are aware and are going to change the online details. Other than that we had a great time. Wish we had another day to really wonder around town.

Our stay was short just overnight. The door between the two rooms ended up coming off its hinge at the top. But other than that it was a lovely spot.

We had so much fun in Frankfort staying at the Serendipity House! The location is perfect, right near our favorite places to eat, The Coho and Stormcloud microbrewery and just a 1-minute walk to the beach! The rooms were spotlessly clean, owners were friendly and easy and the beds were comfy!!! We loved it and will always stay at Serendipity if we can!

Gorgeous grpunds, loved the fire pit and beautiful flowers on the front porch. Steps from the beach, lighthouse & sunset!

The view was great and we loved how close we were to the beach, shopping and marina! We would stay again

Clean and close to everything. The lake was just a block away and shops and restaurants were in walking distance. Great brewery with tasty pub food selections, just a few blocks away. Wonderful experience. We stayed because it was a short drive to Arcadia Bluffs golf course.

We stayed in the Lakeview Suite for three nights. We had two adults, a five year old and a baby. Some of the decor has been updated from the pictures shown. Location: Excellent. 1 block to beautiful beach, go the other way for shopping and restaurants. Can even walk to grocery store (>1mile) if needed. Tiny view of lake Betsy though the windows, best view is from the toilet - not kidding. Space: good space for two adults plus pack-n-play (provided by Serendipity house) in the bedroom, especially if you block off the internal entry door and just use the external door as we did. May not be so pleasant in the winter. Living space had a sleeper sofa, but it takes up all available room so we used a small inflatable bed (we brought our own) for our 5yo and then propped it in the corner so we had living space during the day. Bathroom is ample, though shower is small. Amenities: Kitchenette had all appliance, pots, pans, etc. Including dish soap. Need to bring your own salt pepper and other condiments. Bathroom had plenty of towels though some were slightly stained (not gross - just showing wear). No shampoo or shower soaps provided. Enough space and hooks for storage of clothing, gear, and food supplies. Clothesline in back for drying suits was very helpful. We didn't use the picnic table, backyard chairs, or fire pit, but they were all there. "Grill" is a tiny webber charcoal camp grill. Will do the trick if you're desperate, but too fussy for our needs. Peaceful backyard setting with just other home noise, not business noise. Nice front porch to people watch or read. Beach chairs provided in the bedroom. Owner appeared to be working in grounds and doing other maintenance while we were there - I took that as a good sign. Good service interactions. Cleanliness: Average. This is the one that will keep me from letting my mom stay here. Carpets were worn and had stains and there were stains on the couch. We found earrings in the floor when we arrived which made me question the vacuum job. Linens were clean, but bedcover did not appear to be made of a washable material. Perhaps they switch them out and get them laundered - otherwise... Dust on pictures and flat surfaces, sand in drawers. Looks like they weren't wiped out between guests. Kitchen was clean as was the bathroom. Honestly, I think it just might be too much for one housekeeper to handle during peak season. Nothing gross - just not as nice as it could have been. We had a great time.

We have stayed at Serendipity House several times since it opened and have always found it to be charming and very centrally located. Each time we've visited we've seen a constant improvement in upkeep and renovations. Very laid back atmosphere with an inviting front porch where we have met other guests from Germany, Washington State and Japan. We've never looked for a hotel when staying in Frankfort and this fits the bill. 2 blocks from the beach and 1 block to town. The rooms are well kept and clean. Bathrooms are stocked with towels and chairs are provided for the beach. It's nice to be able to take our dog with us and have never had a problem with noise.

A few problems that you can correct. The ceiling light in the living room was burned out. The entertainment center had allot of dust and also had spilled pop or something on the front of it (very dirty). And a DVD player instead of a outdated VCR would have been nice. We brought movies but couldn't play them. The acorns on the outside steps were a hazard to take the garbage out. The windows were hard to open for fresh air, and needed windex. Not enough kitchen towels. Mine stayed wet the whole time. Also, a full length mirror is needed. Behind the bathroom door would be a good place. The couch was very uncomfortable. I suspect that it is very old and without the use of the bedroom pillows, it would have been impossible to relax on. When I made my reservation I asked if "quaint" shopping is available. Yes there was, but most of the stores were closed for the season. The rooms was "presentable" without going the extra yard. The dust on the entertainment center showed just how often it is NOT cleaned properly. I don't think I would choose HomeAway again.
