A BEAUTIFUL VILLA

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Villa Serenity! The Villa was very well appointed and had gorgeous sea views. The pool area was very nice and never crowded. The East End of St. Croix has its own laid-back vibe, and the local shopping and restaurants were excellent. There is a beautiful quite little beach area just down the street. I highly recommend Villa Serenity for your next USVI experience!

Great Place to relax and soak up the Carribbean!

My family and I just spent 2weeks here (including our 4 and 6 yr olds. The condo is great, well equiped for a family that likes to cook. We toured the island beaches and restaurants and ended each afternoon at the well kept community pool. Great vacation on a very welcoming and friendly island. LIked our stay so much we found a place and are in escrow!

Beautiful Villa with a view of Buck Island

This was a beautiful condo at the Reef on the East End. The condo had been recently updated and had everything that we needed to enjoy our time on St Croix. The pool for the complex had an incredible view and breezes. I would recommend any family, couple or single person to stay here.

Amazing, relaxing villa

The villa was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The local host, Donna, was very helpful and prompt when we had questions. It was easy to walk done to the TLC Kitchen for breakfast or lunch. The beach down there is also an easy walk but is small and in December had lots of seaweed to wade through, but with those views, its hard to complain about that! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful

We enjoyed the time we spent in St. Croix at Tom and Charlene's house. The pretty spanish style home is perfect for a weeklong getaway. You can just relax in their home or by the beautiful pool. Words cant explain how perfect the view is in the morning and at night! Don't forget to visit Jason while your there!

Great!

Our stay in Villa Serenity was great. The condo is just like the pictures show, big rooms, good bathrooms and amazing beds. The kitchen is fully equiped and the living room with the big couches and view is cozy. You just want to stay once you are there! The owners are extremely nice and will help you in any way they can to give you a great stay on the Island. I can't wait to go back to the Island and this place!

Amazing spot

This condo exceeded our expectations! We loved the layout, utilities available, and the location in proximity to all the areas we accessed for the week. It was clean and Donna was amazing with responding and super friendly and kind! We did end up utilizing the golf course, pool and cafe while there—but would also recommend a rental car because there are some awesome beaches only 10 minutes from this spot. Would definitely recommend and hope to one day return!!

Beautiful condo in the East end of St. Croix

Great condo in golf course community. Nicely remodeled. Comfortable beds. Donna Ford property manager went above and beyond and the owners, John and Stella, were easy to communicate with. A/C worked great and back up generator was a nice extra. The pool was beautiful and refreshing with a view of the Caribbean Sea. We would definitely come back to this beautiful property.

A true treasure!

This was our third vacation on the island. Villa Serenity met all of our needs. The rooms were spacious, linens provided were all fine cotton, and the general decor tasteful. We used the kitchen for most meals and found everything we would need to cook with. We met some of the neighbors and even went to a pizza and beer party there the night before we left.

Loved it

We really enjoyed this condo! It was as pictured, very clean, well furnished and enjoyed some of the extras (beach chairs, etc). The layout of the condo is great with split level 3 floors. Each bedroom was essentially a master with 1 on first and top floors and living area on 2nd level. Great view of the ocean and very nice development amenities. John was very responsive (as was the property manager). We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Great place for R&R

My family loved our stay at Villa Serenity! The unit was very well stocked with every amenity one might need to be in comfort in the Caribbean. The furnishings were nice and of good quality. A direct view of the ocean and Buck Island made for tranquil evenings on the front patio. The constant breezes from the trade winds eliminated the need to run the AC during the day. The close proximity to great restaurants, like Duggan's Reef and Cramer's Park Beach were added bonuses! For this villa, you need only bring yourself, food and swimsuits to indulge in the carefree island mindset.

Awesome family vacation

This was a great trip. The villa was very clean, quiet, and well stocked. Charelene was the perfect hostess that went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay. The villa had the perfect layout for our family. Our kids (age 8 and 5) stayed in one master bedroom. My husband and I stayed in the other. The beautiful views and ocean breeze follow you around the unit. Although a rental car is necessary, the property is very near some very desirable beaches and getting around is pretty easy. In short, we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Awesome all around

Our family has been visiting St Croix for many years and we always stay at the Reef. Villa Serenity is the best of them all. The unit is beautiful and comfortable. Attention has been given to many smaller details that are often overlooked in other rentals and don't show up in the listing description. From soup to nuts, the entire process was smooth and, as customer service dies a slow death everywhere else, we were treated as customers should be. We'll be back.

Terrific Condo with Amazing Owners

Villa Serenity is a perfect place to stay when visiting St. Croix. It is in a great location on the east end of the island. The Reef is a quiet place with really nice people. It is close to trails, Point Udall and several great beaches. You can walk down to TLC for terrific food and find other really good restaurants not too far away. The condo looks just like the pictures. It is extremely clean and beautifully maintained. It is well stocked with everything that you need - with all the comforts of home while on vacation. The best part about the condo are the owners. They will do everything they can to make sure you have a great experience while staying in their condo. Definitely the best place on the island to stay!

Oh the Peace and Quiet!

This was EXACTLY the vacation I needed! We stopped by the grocery store for food and picked up some wine and we were set! This condo was stocked with everything else that we needed. Dinner on the front deck, listening to the ocean breeze was so peaceful, but I will say that my favorite spot was laying in the master bedroom, with the shutters open watching the ocean! There were great activities in the area - golfing, scuba diving, the beer drinking pigs (a must see :). It is a drive to get to most of these places - but the peace and quiet when we got back to the condo, was well worth the drive! We look forward to our next visit to the island and will definitely rent this condo again!

This Villa has warmth, class and personality plus!

We came to this island to scuba dive and explore topside. Villa Serenity had every accommodation one would want - from the idyllic large front terrace patio with ocean views to the spacious two king bedrooms and inviting dining/full kitchen/living areas and even a private inner courtyard for bar-b-queuing, relaxing or hanging wet scuba gear. Upon arrival, Tom and Charlene had set the dining room table with full service including chilled wine and island famous Cruzan rum - what a class act!! My husband and I played the on-site golf course, indulged at the local pubs as well as the many delicious varied cuisines and imbibed at the two rum distillery tours. We would most highly recommend Villa Serenity as a safe, comfortable, scenic accommodation. While it is located about a 15 minutes from Christensted, the drive is scenic and passes several outstanding restaurants. A return visit for sure!!!!

Luxury on the island!

This was our first trip to St. Croix and my husband and I took our 4 children (ages 12 - 23) for a thanksgiving vacation. The villa and location were better then we could have imagined. There are so many things to do within walking distance and the complex is an architectural wonder. From the beautiful villa that provided all the necessities for our family, full kitchen equipped with everything needed to cook (when we wanted to), room for family games, laundry in the villa and enough privacy for my husband and I to have time alone; too the location "The Reef" where we could spend time at the pool, beach, golf, hike or just go for a nice walk to the local café TLC at the bottom of the hill. The owners helped us find scuba diving, snorkeling and a photographer for family photos and a place to have Thanksgiving Dinner. The villa fit our family needs and we enjoyed the underwater photos taken by the owners. If you visit St. Croix, Villa Serenity is the place to stay! Best experience with a VRBO owner owned rental ever.

Island Get Away

Our stay at Villa Serenity was wonderful. The condo had everything we needed and more! Breakfast on the front deck made for the perfect beginning of each day. As the sun rose over the deck, we were able to plan for the day. Visiting the island's many sites in our rented jeep made each day fun filled. Jeep rental is a must for following those off the road trails to secluded beaches and mountain top views! At the end of the day, opening the big windows to hear the ocean and catch the breeze made "cocktail hour" at the condo a relaxing event each night. The condo's design made it possible for us to spread out and have time alone, but still enjoy the beautiful views! The best spot I believe was in the master bedroom ontop of the very comfortable poster bed looking at the beautiful ocean. The location of this condo had something for everyone, beaches, golf, pool, restaurants, hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving and just relaxing! Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with us! Pam, Rob, Brad and Ty

Beautiful! Photos don't do it justice!

The photos and description just give a glimpse of how perfect this home is. First of all, it is in the best location on St. Croix! The home is ideal for 2 couples, each has their own separate bedroom and full bathroom. The owners have thought of everything, even a beach bag with towels and cooler to pack for beach days! Clean and fresh, decorated to make you feel at home on the island from the moment you arrive. Their crystal blue pool on the top of the hill overlooking the Caribbean is amazing. (I think the photo must have been taken on an rare, cloudy day) Golf overlooking the sea was a bonus! Our husbands started every morning with free golf while we leisurely drank coffee and read our books. Great snorkeling and many different types of beautiful swimming beaches are a short drive away, so you do need to rent a car. We tried a different one each day! Thanks Tom and Charlene, for sharing your lovely home with us! When we come back to St. Croix we will definitely stay at Villa Serenity again.

Serenity Was What We Needed

St. Croix has been part of our family experience for over 40 years…we used to own the villa next to Serenity until it was sold two years ago. We thought we’d never return to the island, but saw the listing for Serenity and jumped at the chance to come back. John and Stella have done a wonderful renovation….their unit is neat, clean, modern, well stocked. A/C is available, but, in January, the seasonal breezes and ceiling fans kept us comfortable. Everything in the villa was in good working order. The Reef is a perfect place to stay…..lots of activities available (tennis, golf, pickle ball, large pool, etc.) You can be busy or just enjoy peace and quiet. Two of our favorite things are the spectacular views from the front patio (where we enjoyed morning coffee, etc.), and visiting the patio/pavillion next to the pool, again with beautiful views. There are lots of things to do and see in St. C…. having a rental car and sense of adventure are good things to make a visit to the island complete. We will be returning next year.

Can It Get Better Than This?

Just came back from a wonderful week on St Croix made all that much better by our stay @ Villa Serenity. It was so nice of Tom & Sharlene to take time out of their schedule to actually meet us upon arrivall in STX and escort us to The Reefs and Villa Serenity. From the moment we made our reservations we knew we were in for a special week - and Tom & Sharlene have thought of everything to ensure their guests do have a wonderful time- from amazingly comfortable Westin "Heavenly Beds" (they ARE!) to the unexpected (and much-appreciated!) bottles of rum & wine awaiting us. The condo is set up in such a way that it'd be an ideal spot for two couples. Large windows ensure you'll get the trade winds-and the views are stunning! You'll find everything you'd need to set up house for the week: fully-equipped kitchen, on-site laundry, etc-but why do that when you have access to such gorgeous beaches? The east end has some wonderful restaurants-Duggans, Good Spirits, The Galleon, etc - and don't miss the "Pain-Killers" @ Good Spirits! We'd each order one "to-go" nightly and sip them on the front porch, gazing at the stars and listening to the ocean. In our mind, you'd be hard pressed to find a more-perfect spot for your St Croix vacation than "Villa Serenity". I can't wait to come back.....

Much needed no hassle vacation

We have traveled to st.croix before staying in a few different locations. The east end is by far the quietest. I arrived this time to be met by the owners of the villa, Tom and Charlene the airport. They gave me a ride to the villa and since this was not my first trip to the island I asked them to key me into some of the local spots they find time to visit. We arrive at the villa to be greeted with a bottle of cruzen rum and a bottle of Chardonnay. The villa was a perfect fit for my wife and two children. There is a master bedroom with private bath as well as a guest room with private bath very accommodating for us. Thereis a grill provided for the nights that we wanted to stay in and eat on the beautiful deck over looking the golf course and vast expanse of clear blue water. We enjoyed a round of golf that was provided free of charge to us. When done on the course we enjoyed the rest of our day at the pool which provided all the pool toys a child could ask for. There is a wonderful beach just down the hill front the villa. My daughter and I enjoyed our time snorkeling this bay and viewing many of the under water animals that call it home. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone traveling with a family or with another couple. I was very comfortable with the provided dish tv and the airport pick up alone sold it to my wife and youngest daughter. We were able to wash our clothes in the provided washer and dryer which saved on the weight of our luggage.
