About this villa rental

Villa Serene is a 4 bedroom villa situated on Jamaica's south coast. It is well appointed to offer the true explorer a real taste of some of the best attractions which the south coast has to offer. Nestled on a private beach, privacy is guaranteed as the property is off the beaten track with all the comforts of home. The villa offers spacious accommodation on two floors as well as a stunning pool garden area which opens out on to the beach. The villa is ideal for large groups up to 12 guests.

This is a very quiet neighbourhood. Local shops and restaurants are between 5 and 10 minutes from the villa. From your private beach you can see the famous Pelican Bar, a rustic wooden bar built on a sand bank a quarter of a mile out to sea, half way between Black River and Treasure Beach. It is the perfect place to spend the day being busy doing nothing, but sunbathing, drinking cocktails, eating fresh fish and swimming in the shallow waters. Dining options at the villa includes choosing your seafood directly from the fisherman's boat within minutes of him bringing his catch to shore.

From the moment I inquired about this property through the moment we had to leave, Sheryl was responsive and extremely helpful. The photos are accurate - this place is right on a large expansive beach with a clean pool and 2 covered sitting areas where we would eat meals. We were greeted by Dexton, our driver, arranged by Sheryl, who started our trip on the right note (after a lengthy airline delay). We thoroughly enjoyed Peter's hospitality - he lives on the property and is the groundskeeper and super helpful and lovely (but never intrusive) to be around. Shamar's cooking was not only supremely responsive to our requests but delicious and on our relaxed time table! Peter and Shamar arranged shopping trips with us and Shamar would pick up fish from the fishermen or a forgotten item or two from the market. The home was immaculate with lots of space to play games, dine or just hang out. Beds were unusually comfortable for a private vacation home and the bedrooms had individual air conditioning units that worked superbly (we even got "cold" at times!). It was a perfect spot for 7 or us who just wanted to relax on the beach, or by the pool, eat wonderful food prepared by someone else, and play family games, or read and relax. Thank you Sheryl, Dexton, Shamar, Peter and Dotta - our housekeeper The Smith Family, Boston MA

I had to wait a long time before I was able to give my family the vacation that they deserved. I wanted it to be PERFECT, i did an extensive online research of all the Islands in the Caribbean, the accommodations that they have to offer and the cost. My wife and I decided that the property that check all the boxes of what we were looking for, was VILLA SERENE. And then the adventure begin, Sheryl help us to coordinate the Chef that would prepare our meals, schedule an appointment with a doctor to get our covid test for our return trip and even offer transportation, which we didn’t need because I rented a car. We have kids with special needs, so we were looking for a place that was quite, secluded, were we could stay away from laud crowds and enjoy ourselves, Villa Serene offer that and way much more than what we were expecting. It is comfortable, spacious, safe, well maintain and located right on the beach, which is an understatement because in reality you have MILES of private beach were you only see a local to walk by from time to time, but remember Jamaica is an underdeveloped country so you won’t get the same WI-FI speed or cable service that you have in your country, but I don’t think you’re coming to Jamaica to watch TV or stay glue to your phone, you’re already doing that at home. What we weren’t expecting and made this trip more special was that we would fine new friends here, Peter, the ground keeper, is a gentle guy whose main priority is to help you with anything that you may need and to keep you safe. Shamoir, a hell of a Chef, he would cook not only the most delicious typical Jamaican dishes but anything else you may want, and is such a gentleman, he introduced me to our neighbor, Sam, a local fisherman who took us in his boat to the Pelican Bar and other beaches were we went snorkeling. And the house keeping ladies that we didn’t have the chance to meet because we were always out enjoying Jamaica culture and its people. I’m nothing but grateful with Sheryl and her team because they made our dream vacation come true. We’ll be back, as the Jamaicans said ONE LOVE.

Would highly recommend! Bring everything you need and the Chefs will ensure you’re well fed. The pool is awesome and the beach is just a few feet away. Extremely comfortable and the hosts were so friendly and kind. Don’t be deceived by the drive getting there, once you’ve made it you have your own oasis! Love this place!
