Serenity Reviews

3/22/08 thru 3/29/08

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 Serentiy surpised us thanks in a large part to renting the lower level bedroom for our teenage daughter and her best friend. They spent alot of time in down their in the evening playing music and laughing, but we hardly heard them. The extra $100 cost of the room was well worth the cost even though it meant the upper level second bedroom went unused. The main part of the villa was very nice and consisted of kitchen, dining area and great room. We really only had very minor complaints about the accomodations: the dishwasher is old and very noisey, and the great room furniture was nice looking, but not as comfortable as we would have liked.

However, the pluses far out weighed the minuses. The views from any room are unparralled. 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. Serentiy 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.
