BRAND NEW "Serenity" Beachfront Villa, steps away from Private Bay

A beautiful BRAND NEW spacious beach-front villa in Chocolate Hole - only steps away from putting your feet in the sand. Enjoy a fantastic view of the crystal clear Caribbean water right from your window and back porch! Only 5 minutes from the bustling shopping/restaurant town of Cruz Bay.

Great amenities include beach chairs and towels, snorkel gear and noodles to enjoy in our private bay which is known to have the most sea life to enjoy on the island with sea turtles and colorful marine life! The bay is known to be calm with no strong winds.

If your party is too many for one villa, our sister property, Nautilus, is right next door with three king bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.

Are you a foodie? We have a fully appointed kitchen and an outdoor grill with 2 grocery stores within a 5 minute drive from the villa.

Don't feel like cooking? We have great restaurants right around the corner.

Want to go shopping? Mongoose Junction is close by and has great shops for local artwork, jewelry (a must buy are hook bracelets!), beach essentials, clothing, as well as restaurants. Be sure to try a Pain Killer!

Want to explore other beaches? We have so many to choose from and are a short drive from the villa!

The weather is always sunny & around 85 degrees in St. John!

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.

Great location
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.

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.

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.

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!

Highly recommend!
I will admit, I was hesitant to book at first since it was a brand new place with no reviews yet at the time... but the pictures looked nice and we knew the location would suit us well, so figured we'd give it a try. That decision turned out to be one of the best ones we've ever made! Serenity exceeded every expectation. It was beautifully decorated, very spacious, extremely comfortable and clean. It was great for 3 couples to all have their own nice-sized bedrooms with a king bed and private bathroom. Although we didn't have time during our stay to do any cooking in, the kitchen was well-stocked with spices and everything you'd need to make meals of your own. The large under the counter ice-maker is a fantastic addition, and saved us from having to purchase bags of ice for drinks and coolers. The snorkel gear and beach items available for use were nice quality and greatly appreciated - a very nice addition that saved us from having to rent some. David was a fantastic host, very responsive and easy to deal with. We had the opportunity to meet in person while there, and it was a great pleasure! He really cares to make sure everything is satisfactory for his guests, and provided clear instructions and wonderful concierge service upon arrival (thanks, Ausra!). We have stayed on the island several times in various villas, and overall, this was one of our favorites - we will likely return!

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!!!

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!

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!
