Fantastic home base for a week of hiking & relaxation!

We found Serenity to be the perfect location for our family of 5 with tween-teenagers. We took full advantage of having a full kitchen with the grocery store right on the way to the property. Having the beach chairs, snorkel gear, a pool noodles were really appreciated for our afternoons on the beach following a morning hike. We are definitely interested in making another trip to St. John and would stay at Serenity again!

Wonderful Vacation Rental!

The property was absolutely gorgeous! Everything we needed for our beach vacation was made available to us! We have used VRBO for several vacations and this rental property was by far the best! Our host was fantastic and responded to any and all inquiries we had without delay. I would definitely recommend this host and property!!!

Pond Bay

Serenity was a fantastic location. Clean, and had everything we needed. Dave, the property manager was amazing. He helps with everything you may need. Definitely made us feel at home. The location was perfect for us. Just far enough away to be quiet but close enough to be able to get to Cruz bay for whatever we needed without trouble. Very close to grocery which we used frequently. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Outstanding!

The Chocolate Hole location was close to but away from the activity of Cruz Bay. The condo was well appointed, comfortable and provided plenty of 'private space' along with group gathering space.Dave was so very informative and the few times we reached out he was very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Christmas Joy

This property is beautiful and very comfortable. Everything that you might need is available for cooking and comfort. We loved being close to the beach and the easiness of accessing the property. We were able to get to all of beaches across the island easily from here. We loved our stay and had a great holiday trip!

A week in paradise

We had a fantastic family vacation at this stunning villa in Chocolate Hole! We thoroughly enjoyed the location within steps of the water and convenient to Cruz Bay. We appreciated the gourmet kitchen and the grill on the patio as well as all of the stocked spices that were available. The villa is modern, clean and comfortable. The property manager Dave was very nice and quickly responded to all of our questions. St John Island is a gorgeous, unique vacation destination and we highly recommend this property! Hopefully we will be back soon.

Lovely place with great snorkeling

The Serenity Villa was a wonderful place to stay. More spacious than it appears in the photos, this clean and tasteful villa worked so well for our group of five adults. The snorkeling in Chocolate Hole was just incredible! The kitchen was well stocked -- thank you for spices! -- and we enjoyed cooking for ourselves during a busy holiday week. In addition to sea life, we enjoyed a visit from three donkeys and several deer sightings. A lovely place for a stay!

Dave, the property manager was great! Was very prompt with questions. The villa area seemed to be in transition to be much nicer. Our villa was exactly what pictures depicted . The only negative were the sheets on the beds. They seemed to be stained. Overall, I would recommend this villa.

Chocolate Hole Paradise

We had a wonderful stay. The house is as promised with fully equipped kitchen and lots of outdoor gear. We loved the Chocolate Hole area. It’s close to Cruz Bay but just enough outside of town to be quiet. Access to the bay just steps away from the house for snorkeling, kayaking and SUP is a real plus. Just a note, there are no sidewalks in St John so even though we were close enough to walk to town and markets, it’s not possible, safe or practical on the narrow streets. You must have a vehicle.

This home exceeded our expectations! The location was minutes from restaurants and beaches! The home itself was very roomy and comfortable! The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need from a state of the art ice maker, blender, utensils, beautiful dishes and every gadget you could imagine! I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Saint John! I cannot wait to return next year with my family and stay at Serenity!

Condo in paradise

Beautiful property located in Chocolate hole. Easy to find and access. Excellent appliances. The electric blinds and WiFi were spotty and there was bird droppings on the upper deck that the property manager cleaned up upon request. The view of Chocolate hole is slightly obstructed by the building across from the property. Overall, an excellent property and we will definitely stay there again.

Great getaway

What else is there to say?! Previous reviews hit all the key points. Property Manager was very responsive and accommodating. The complex is a bit hard to find at first as there are no street signs turning off Chocolate Hole Road. There is a small sign for St John Villa Resorts and it's a gravel road that looks like it leads to and ends at a construction site. 120% would stay again!

Gorgeous New Villa

Beautiful well-appointed new villa on the beach in Chocolate Hole. They are still building the villas, so it is a bit of a construction zone and can be a little hard to find. (You turn onto a gravel road that looks like it goes nowhere but actually circles around to the villas. This one is the back on the left, second one in. We had a bit of trouble finding it - finally found it by comparing deck furniture to the photos in the listing!) Gorgeous inside - new appliances & furniture, beautifully decorated. Perfect for our family of three (two parents and just graduated college kid). Location is terrific - very close to Cruz Bay and the Westin, and lots of activities.

Beautiful Villa

Fantastic location in Chocolate Hole. The Villa itself is clean, bright, high-tech and furnished with high-end appliances and thoughtful detail, such as a Keurig cubby upstairs and robes in the closets. The villa is just Steps from a beach to snorkel. Our master bedroom was huge with high ceilings. The master bedroom balcony was spacious and provided a view of the bay. We played many card games at night and sipped coffee in the morning. Snorkel equipment and beach chairs are provided to use. Construction on other villas is ongoing, but was not noisy. Very quiet at night. The entrance road is deceiving, but after the modest gravel road, the beautifully landscaped villas emerge.
