In Caribbean-style architecture, spaces are defined by airy octagonal gazebos and high cedar ceilings. Pretty blue and white fabrics and cool marble floors are throughout. Each bedroom opens to a sitting area for private afternoon naps or all-day gazing at the changing light on the Caribbean Sea ~ practically at your doorstep.
Eye-opener coffee trays are silently presented outside each bedroom door while guests are still asleep. Morning walks down the long beach are energizing. Sunset beach walks are beautiful.
Four bedrooms and the living room are connected by a long furnished marble veranda. The veranda adjoins the pool terrace, where cool drinks and evening hors d`oeuvres are served under the palm trees. Most weeks, the butler's special treat is dinner on the beach.
On calm evenings, you may see our local fishermen laying their nets by torchlight. If the night produces a good catch, they’ll return early in the morning with fresh fish or lobster to sell to Maud, the Serenity cook, for tonight’s dinner.
Serenity shares a basketball hoop and private tennis court with neighboring Tranquillity (racquets and balls provided). Combining Serenity and Tranquillity creates an 11-bedroom compound with 2 pools, a tennis court, a long beachfront, and a staff of 10. Beyond Tranquility is our glamorous neighbor, Noble House on the Beach, which accommodates 8 or 10 more guests. Combining these 3 homes creates a 15-bedroom compound with 3 pools, a tennis court, a long beachfront, and a staff of 18. This remarkable waterfront trio is a favorite for weddings and family reunions. All 3 villas are child-friendly and very private from each other.
100 yards offshore is Holden's Reef, a continuation of the barrier reef complex that fronts much of Jamaica's north coast. Easily reachable by kayak, this live reef is home to a myriad of tropical fish and corals. At low tide, portions protrude above the water so you can step from your kayak to snorkel in shallow water. On the ocean side, deeper waters beckon the more adventurous or scuba-equipped.
If you’ve left your pets behind while you take a vacation, be advised that Serenity is home to our beloved pups: They love romps on the beach with guests, adore children, and socks! But can be kept away should you not wish them to be in your space.
To drift off to sleep to the sound of waves lapping on the beach is a dream come true at Serenity.

Thank you so much for everything, the vacation and vow renewal were absolutely perfect. Our villa in paradise could not have been more perfect, and the staff made us feel so welcome (They were wonderful!). In particular, Butler Gladstone went over and above arranging everything we needed, and our driver Alicia kindly escorted us all over town. Maud's meals & snacks were fabulous, pool and grounds spotless, peaceful and beautiful. Young folks made good use of paddleboards and kayaks. And we loved meeting our faithful friends/dogs Wrinkles & Spot.
Our expectations were truly exceeded, and we are counting the days until we might come back again! "Five stars" – Thanks for providing a truly memorable family vacation,

A wonderful vacation. Six of us stayed at Serenity on the Beach just after Thanksgiving 2017. What we liked:
1.The house is fantastic, perfectly laid out so everyone can enjoy the sight and sound of the bay. The decor is perfectly tropical in mostly blue and whites. My wife and I had the large and well-appointed master bedroom. The bed was as comfortable as many of the finest hotel beds. Our companions had similarly comfortable sleep experiences. The ensuite bathroom had both indoor and outdoor showers. What a pleasure to take a shower under the almost full moon. (Hint, turn on the outdoor shower about a minute before using to let the water get warm.) The master bedroom also has a very comfortable private veranda. My wife and I spent a lot of time there.
2. The staff was wonderful. They managed to take care of our every need without being intrusive. Gladstone, the butler, made sure there was always a cooler with water, soda and beer by the pool all day and made mixed drinks to order. Maud is a wonderful cook. She even made gluten free deserts for us once she learned my wife is gluten sensitive. (Hint, if even one person says they like a Jamaican specialty, Maude will add that to the menu for the next full meal in addition to what she had planned. Try her oxtail stew or curried goat, yum). The rooms were cleaned and laundry washed and folded on our schedule, not theirs.
3. The weather was almost perfect. With one exception, the rain came while we were sleeping, leaving the air clean and fresh the next AM.
In all, we would stay here again.

What a great vacation. You told us the staff was great. But, we found them over the moon.
Gladstone (butler): No request was too big or too small. No worries, whatever you want, what makes you happy makes me happy was his constant response. Every request granted promptly and efficiently, always nearby for our convenience. Kind, caring, funny, are only a very few words that describes this wonderful gentleman.
Maude (cook): Amazing!!!!!!!!! Expert in her cooking skills. Eager to prepare whatever we requested with five star quality. Her goal was to give us the very best of our dining enjoyment. I’m having a terrible time cooking for myself upon my return home. Just can’t begin to match Maude’s cooking. I’m calling it my Maude diet. Beautiful smile, happy, caring, gracious, qualities beyond words.
Alisha: Was in awe how expertly she maneuvered in the crazy Jamaican traffic. Delivered us safely to all our destinations, waiting patiently until our return to the van. Directed us to the best of Jamaican shopping, which was most important to us girls. Always had a smile, more of no problem, no worries, whatever you want. Eager to make our visit special and complete. Another beautiful smile, friendly, caring, helpful, remarkable young woman.
Jean (head housekeeper): Oh my goodness, so loving, hugs all around every morning. Kept everything pristine, Beds beautifully made and turned down each evening with a flower on our sheets for a comfortable slumber. Not leaving in the evening before asking if there were anything she could do to enhance our comfort. Another beautiful smile, kind amazing woman.
Claudette (laundress): If I had known my laundry would be done each day I would have just brought my carry on. Our clothes returned clean, beautifully ironed wrapped in sheer fabric as if we were all queens and king. Very first vacation I came home without a ton of dirty clothes thanks to our Claudette. She made my life easier even after my return. Happy, loving, eager to please.
Wisdom (night watchman): Lovely gentleman. Felt perfectly safe with him looking out for our well-being, Lovely gentleman, more of the beautiful smile, caring and kind.
Our time spent at the villa was amazing. We all had plans for different excursions but when it came right down to it, we loved just hanging out at the villa with the staff.
Last but definitely not least we want to thank you for all your help in the planning of our Jamaican extravaganza. Your patience and kindness was so appreciated. Answering all our little tiny tinny questions without pause. Directing us in accomplishing everything necessary to stay at the beautiful villa. Thank you, could not have done this without you.

We had a wonderful time at Serenity. The house and grounds were beautiful, very well maintained and we felt extremely taken care of by everyone, Gladstone was so accommodating and helpful. Jean was so warm and kind. Maude fed us and fed us and fed us. The salads (especially the lobster salad) were fantastic as were all the local fruits, vegetables, fish, lobster, pulled pork, jerked chicken. Claudette was accommodating, kind and efficient.
Wisdom and Christopher made us feel very safe in the evenings and Godfrey took great care of us driving us to/from and even a quick trip to the hospital on Christmas day - our 3 year old fell into a table, cutting his eyebrow. The doctor decided to just glue it - we went to a brand new facility in Montego Bay near the airport that seemed geared towards tourists, the administrators were well versed in the processing of trip insurance. Everyone was nice and we were in and out in about 2 hours which seems relatively quick by any standard. They even had fast wifi at the hospital so my husband and I could talk/text! Please know that while this isn't what we wanted to be doing Christmas morning, everything went as smoothly as we could have hoped for and I thought this might be a useful point of reference for future groups.
The weather, beach, pool, outdoor showers, hammock, kayaks, I really could go on and on (our favorite spot was the smaller lower patio closest to the beach). I wish we could make it an annual event...We will definitely keep Serenity in mind for future trips.
Additionally, I want to note that we had a great experience with Villas by Linda Smith and I will strongly recommend to anyone I know considering a Jamaica vacation. I appreciated your responsiveness, knowledge/familiarity with every aspect and openness in addressing any of our questions, concerns - it was significant in putting us at ease as we planned and looked forward to the trip.

This was undoubtedly one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed in. Five siblings and my parents returned to my father's homeland to once again enjoy Jamaica. It was a dream. The location 20 minutes from Montego Bay airport is so easy and yet one does not hear planes flying above in fact it is a sanctuary of bird life, fauna and complete "serenity".
The house itself is on a long ocean frontage replete with separate and very private bedrooms all with en-suites and their own outdoor alcove living room well protected from the sun and rain. The decor, the cleanliness and the upkeep are superior, largely due to excellent ownership and outstanding staff who have tended to guests there for over 25 years. They introduce themselves to you through Gladstone, the man in charge of everything there and assure you from the very start, their number one priority is to take care of your needs and make you happy. Maud the Chef, Jean the housekeeper, Claudette who assists, Wisdom on security are prepared to bend over backward to provide the best experience ever.
Expect to sleep extraordinarily well under each turret, the mattresses, the turn downs, and the climate control through fans and/or air conditioning; nothing is left to chance. Fresh fish is what we focused on for meals but be sure that menu planning with Maude is a dream. Salads were delicious, eggs to order, desserts varied and any Jamaican food available to savor. While the house fits 8 perfectly, there is room for extra beds in 3 of the 4 rooms. The beach is fine and the water very warm and calm particularly in the morning. We floated in the ocean on waterbeds for ages, again everything was provided including sunscreen and bug repellent - use both every day and evening and it is great. The terrace and the lounging beds you sit on to sun may be the best ever.
Our family had an unforgettable experience as close to perfection as we have ever known.

This was undoubtedly one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed in. Five siblings and my parents returned to my father's homeland to once again enjoy Jamaica. It was a dream.

Perfect – Best Vacation ever for relaxing. We have rented many homes or villas on trips but this one is the topper. Because the house was on the water, perfect to swim, paddle board, kayak and have dinners at sunset. Because the house is staffed with the finest people you worry about Nothing! Everything is taken care of for you. We felt that Gladstone, Maud, Jean and Pauline as well as Alicia our driver were the best people in any Villa you could rent. The house had a perfect layout for couples or families with older children. The house was well decorated and had a ease of relaxation you can't get everywhere you go. We loved the house, the beach, the meals made for us, the ease of having a driver, the use of the Country Club membership, the tennis courts on the property. Here's what I want to say there was nothing bad, it was the perfect relaxing Vacation of my life and we travel plenty.
We have stayed at many homes on many islands. This was the best home & staff I have ever met.

Gladstone, Maud, Jean, Pauline and Wisdom, the staff, was the best part of this vacation. They made my vacation with my 6 daughters exceed my expectations for a trip that my girls could always remember me by. The place is beautiful and kept impeccable at all times. The food is delicious and Maud did a wonderful job managing my food budget. Not a dog person, but even the dogs added to the peaceful atmosphere. I will never forget the staff and I will always have fond memories thanks to them.

The Serenity staff was delightful and took such good care of us. We felt pampered all week. When Gladstone said that no request was too small, Sherry promptly told him that she'd always wanted a pony!! We had a lot of fun with this throughout the week as Gladstone told her the pony was coming on Wednesday! Maude is a wonderful chef. Her lobster was the best ever! Jean and Claudette kept the house immaculate and our laundry fresh and clean. Wisdom checked in each evening and responded ASAP to a loud noise one night when a piece of fruit fell loudly onto a bedroom roof. I won't rule out a return to Serenity in the future, possibly with a group of my husband's schoolmates and their wives.

Spot and Wrinkles to have around while we were away from our dog. They are the funniest and cutest puppies with such splendid personalities. We will miss them dearly. Our 7 days passed far too quickly. Serenity will forever be amongst our top vacation memories and we look forward to returning.

I’m writing this on my last day at the villa because I know once I get back home I would get too busy with work and the kids. As I sit back to reflect on my trip here at Serenity on the Beach Villa, I can't tell you how much I appreciated your kindness, it made our vacation a memorable experience.
Once we arrived at Serenity we notice the beautiful the surroundings, and the two gorgeous dogs Spot and Wrinkles, Gladstone stated, “yes we have dogs, you have dogs, it’s your dogs”. That made me laugh.
Thank you Maud for cooking for us every day. The food was A+++ the staff at Serenity on the Beach made it really special. They were so wonderful in spoiling us. Gladstone was such gentleman and a complete professional; he catered to our every need. Jean made out room comfortable day and night. I really enjoy our fresh flowers every night on our bed. Thank you Pauline, for washing our clothing daily and sending us home with clean clothes.
Thank you Winston for kept a good eye on us every night accompany with Wrinkles and Spot.
My husband and I had fond memories of our vacations together at Serenity on the Beach Villa. Beautiful, private beach, wonderful food, and lovely people, this vacation exceeded our expectation! Our group was very pleased with the service and food. The place was as beautiful as it is on the web site. The rooms are like coming home. We've tried other resorts over the years, but never found one that we liked more then Serenity on the Beach Villa.
Gladstone, Maud, Jean, Pauline and Winston “Thank you again” for the wonderful time we had with you. You will always be in our hearts and prayers.
See you soon,

How can we go anywhere else after experiencing the care of this staff? We came here on our honeymoon, looking for peace and quiet (with 8 kids at home, we needed it!). The staff was exceptional.

We have traveled to many five star resorts and other similar type vacations but were looking for a private, quiet getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary and we found it here. Serenity is a very pretty, secluded property with a full staff that couldn't have made us feel more comfortable and relaxed with their warmth and hospitality....... plus all home cooked meals three times a day were delicious!!! Maybe the best thing we can say is we are planning to return without whole family very soon.

The property is absolutely fantastic with the 4 bedroom layout perfectly accommodating 3 couples and our one single guest. Three of the bedrooms have an associated outdoor seating area (one functioning as our bar area) as well as another seating area off the kitchen. The bedroom occupied by our single guest is designed more for a family with young kids as it adjoins the neighboring bedroom but it also worked well in our case. The master and one of the other bedrooms have a fantastic outdoor shower which we made full use of. The unique and lengthy design of the property and its numerous seating areas allowed us to enjoy private time as well as group time in the common areas. The property is located just down from the main road so there are occasional traffic noises but it was never an issue. The beach area is a bit short and the water a bit mirkey at times (after rain in the upper mountains) but also never an issue and still very enjoyable.
The staff (Gladstone - Butler, Maud - Chef, Claudette 1 - Laundress, Claudette 2 - Housekeeper & Winston - Night Watchman) were absolutely amazing and could not have done anything any better. From Gladstone's incredible table settings & napkin folding skills, and handling of any request to Maud's fantastic breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinners (and lobster dinners), to the impeccable housekeeping and turndown services provided by Claudette to the special way laundry was returned by Claudette to the way we all felt very safe having Winston stroll the property at night, it made for the vacation of a lifetime.
We also hired a full-time driver (Alicia) for the week and this is highly recommended as Alicia was always there when needed and provided assistance with booking excursions, making grocery runs, and just general knowledge of the area and the best things to do.
This property is highly recommended for a family or 3 couples.

Happy New Year Doug! Words can't express the amazing experience my family had over Christmas at Serenity. Thank you and the team for your awesome guidance---you made it too easy! We aren't ready to commit for next year but will be sure to reach out if we get to that point. Again, thank you so much for your assistance. We had the best vacation ever!!
