Serenity Reviews

May 24 - May 31 2009

Question: If you want a spectacular view then Serenity is your villa. The fact that it is on the end of a bluff is what sold it for us. The villa itself is lovely, very clean and extremely comfortable. The AC in the living quarters is a plus. I did suggest that a pair of binoculars be placed in the villa because several times we wished we had a pair, cruise ships pass by along with beautifil sailboats. Iguanas will visit the pool area in the afternoon sun but they are quite docile. The pool was refreshing after a day at the beach and the deck is huge. We used the grill and it worked great and the hammock in the back of the house is a delite, very relaxing. Lisa is outstanding as the person who will help you with any question you might have, with your car rental, and acutally anything pertaining to your visit to St. John. The Villa Serenity suits its name to a tee.

This was our second trip to St John, but the first time we rented a villa. Our rental agent, Lisa Durgin, of Vacation Villas more like a concierge than a rental agent. Lisa hooked us up with a taxi service to and from the airport in St Thomas, a car rental agency in St. John, a guided boat rental, tips on all the best restaurants and shops and even directions to all the great beaches on St. John all at no extra charge. Just an outstanding job Lisa.
The privacy at Serenity surprised us thanks in a large part to renting the lower level bedroom for our teenage daughter and her best friend. They spent allot of time in down their in the evening playing music and laughing, but we hardly heard them. The main part of the villa was very nice and consisted of kitchen, dining area and great room. The pluses far out weighed the minuses (noisy dishwasher). The views from any room are unparallel. The bedrooms were very comfortable and stylishly decorated. The pool was just the right size for cooling off after a long day at the beach. The gas grill was new and worked great. Serenity offered plenty of outdoor furniture for dining or simply sunbathing. Serenity also offered easy access to town. We rate it 4 1/2 stars out of five.

We stayed for a week at Serenity almost 6 months ago. I returned to the website just to see a few pictures and to remember how beautiful it was. The villa was everything we had hoped for and more. If you are contemplating a St. John's vacation you couldn't do better than to book a week at Serenity. The photos give an accurate idea of the place, which is not always the case when you visit hotel websites. Everything was clean, comfortable and in good repair. You'll want to rent a Jeep. The people we worked with at Vacation Vistas could not have been nicer. We felt truly welcomed. I was there with my wife and two teenaged daughters and we all loved every minute. I think we saved money versus a hotel stay. We were able to buy our groceries, which made a big difference. I hope we can manage a return trip soon. If we can, it will be at a Vacation Vistas villa without question.
