Property was exactly as described and Chris and Katie were super responsive throughout our stay.Villa Serenity is a short walk from a superb beach and Jolly Harbour has lots of restaurants and a decent supermarket close by. Villa Serenity is as amazing as it looks in the pictures and we especially enjoyed spending time on the deck by the water. We would definitely rent this Villa again!
We love Jolly Harbour. Everything is convenient and there is plenty to do (or not to do). The home was very comfortable with everything we needed. The location is ideal for walking to the beach, grocery store, restaurants, etc.
We spent a lovely trip in this villa at Jolly Beach. It was luxury living with a beautiful deck by the harbor. It is also very convenient for the beach and restaurants and shops at Jolly Harbor. The host provided lots of useful information for both the villa and things to do (the boat trip with Simon and Amanda was a highlight). Overall, a great experience.
WE HAD A WONDERFUL STAY AT VILLA SERENITY IN JAN 25. THE VILLA CONTAINED EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED . ITS REAR DECKING WAS PERFECT FOR RELAXING , OVERLOOKING THE WATER IN THE LATE AFTERNOONS .LOCATION IS AMAZING , 3 MINS WALK TO THE LOVELY BEACH AND 5 MINS WALK TO THE SUPERMARKET AND RESTAURANTS . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .
We had the best time at Villa Serenity. The location can’t be beat. SO close to the beach. The porch at this property is beyond beautiful and serene. We spent a lot of time outside. Would definitely recommend this property. Chris was wonderful to communicate with! Hope we can return!
This was our first time to Antigua and we couldn’t have been happier with the location, the Villa and the property managers. Jolly Harbor is a perfect spot for families, lots of good restaurants and an amazing beach to end the day with a perfect sunset.Chris has the villa stocked and anything that’s not there is available close by at the nearby market. We had a couple small issues that were taken care of right away by his staff. The villa was clean and the deck is perfect for a morning coffee or an evening dinner. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!
We loved our week at this home! Conveniently located between Jolly Beach and the commercial area, we could get groceries or be in water in five minutes. I've never stayed anywhere with so many amenities: bread, butter, and milk in the fridge, spices and oils for cooking, coffee pods and tea, bug sprays and deterrents, beach chairs and towels, bikes and snorkels, games and streaming services, tons of seating out on the large deck - it made the stay so comfortable. The doors and some windows don't have glass, just screens, so you will get some nature sounds inside. The hosts were proactive and responsive for anything we needed, which wasn't much - everything just worked. Highly recommend!
Villa Serenity was a home away from home. It was one of the cleanest Villas we have stayed in. It was located close enough to stores, restaurants and a 2 minute walk to the beach. However, it was a quiet community. Drinks on the deck facing the harbor was peaceful and dinner on the patio was serene. We enjoyed the design of the home which allowed Caribbean breezes to flow and keep the home cool. We never needed to turn on the AC. We are grateful for the hospitality Chris and Katie offered us. Their home provided a peaceful place to stay during our visit.
The host was great, he gave us lots of local information along with all the necessary villa details. He met us at the property and was extremely welcoming. The villa was wonderful. Very clean and tidy with up to date appliances and walking distance to both a beautiful beach and shops and restaurants.
The owners were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. Villa is in an ideal location with the most wonderful sun deck. Very well stocked with everything you need for a home from home holiday. Would highly recommend this villa and we hope to stay here again sometime in the future.
We have been staying at Jolly Harbor for many years and this is our favorite villa. The location is perfect to the beach and restaurants. Sitting on the veranda is so peaceful and the view is amazing. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your villa with us we look forward to returning.
Easy to reach from airport. Lovely deck leading onto marina. Enjoyed jumping and paddle boarding in harbour. Beach couldn't be closer. Super stunning Antiguan beach. Great sundowners and amazing sunset from beach.
Beautiful villa just as you see in the photos. The deck and grounds are a wonderful place to relax after a hard days swimming and sunbathing on the beach that is no more than a five minute stroll away. Tennis courts, swimming pool and grocery store just a ten minutes stroll in the opposite direction. A number of restaurants within walking distance make this villa a perfect location . We spent eleven wonderful days there, mostly on Jolly beach which is so long it never gets crowded . If you want to spend a day or two sailing you can book a trip right from Jolly Harbough.
Myself and a friend took a Girls trip to Antigua. First timers who were fortunate to stumble on to this listing as we usually rent on the beach.
We can't begin to express how helpful the Hosts of Villa Serenity are. From the first question we asked prior to booking until the day we left. Chris provided a fantastic House Booklet with everything you need to know and then was available to us for questions and suggestions above and beyond.
The cottage is lovely. Everything you need (except maybe a microwave for restaurant left overs) The kitchen is equipped to cook and bake anything you desire. Perfect location in Jolly Harbour!!!! Backyard deck on the harbour can't be beat! Enjoyed watching sailboats coming through the channel into the harbour.
The cottage is located a couple minutes walk to a beautiful, seashell covered beach. Ideal for long walks or lounging and reading that book. Loungers and umbrellas offered for rent by locals. There are 2 beach bars/restaurants. The water is a beautiful turquoise and perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Beautiful Sunsets!!
Walk the other direction from the cottage down the narrow road and you find a variety of wonderful restaurants and a supermarket. Fresh produce stands across the street! All in a short 5-10 min walk.
The historical site tours are a must. The locals are very inviting and friendly.
Antigua was a relaxing, fun experience. Villa Serenity is the prefect home base for Antigua excursions.
A wonderful vacation next to the most gorgeous beach
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Serenity. It is very cozy and well kept up. Two of our favorite things were the deck with beautiful plants and multiple areas for sitting and lounging and the proximity to the Jolly Beach. We have been to St. John, Turks and Caicos, Barbados, St. Lucia, Mexico, Dominican Republic, and this beach was amazing: long, gorgeous, non-touristy, stunning water and sand. And it is just steps away from the villa.
For those who are used to amenities, like us, this trip was a bit of an adjustment because it was more of a "buy groceries, cook yourself" kind of trip and the beach doesn't have much service other than the two small bars, which were not particularly fancy, but it truly was an incredible trip to relax away from people and entertainment amidst the beautiful nature. Sheer rocks was our favorite spot for a nice fancy dinner and bar, which is only 5 mins drive.
Chris was available for any questions or requests we had. Thank you!!!
This Villa surpassed all our expectations.
It was extremely well equipped with good quality kitchen equipment and furnishings. The deck area became a haven for us giving ample shade in the heat of the day and we spent much time observing the beautiful hummingbirds drawing nectar from the wide range of plants and flowers.
The location was perfect! A short stroll to the beach with a bar in one direction and a well stocked supermarket, restaurants and pharmacy in the other with local sellers of fruits and vegetables in between. There was a bus stop close by. Buses are inexpensive and a wonderful way to experience local life. We had access to the swimming pool which was a bonus.
We have to thank Chris and Katie for being wonderful hosts. They were extremely thoughtful and available should we have had any problems. One of the best rentals we have had!
Clear and quick communication with owner which made booking and check in very easy. Well appointed property so it is quite cozy and spacious at the samectime

A wonderful holiday and a beautiful villa
Serenity Villa was the perfect place to stay for our holiday in Antigua. The villa is so comfortable with everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Sitting on the decking early in the morning looking out at the lagoon was a wonderful start to the day. The villa is only a few minutes from the most beautiful beach with a chilled out beach bar. Because the villa is so close to the beach we could walk back to the villa if we wanted to sit in the shade and have some quiet time. We only had a five minute walk to the supermarket if we needed to pick up some shopping. I highly recommend Serenity and hope to go back again some day in the not too distant future.

"Serenity" fitting name for this lovely villa!
This was our first trip to Antigua and we couldn't have chosen a more perfect villa...It was a short walk to one of the loveliest beaches on the island (and we saw quite a few on our road trips). The proximity to the beach allowed us to head home for lunch on the beautiful deck and have an afternoon bike ride and we especially loved being so close to incredible sunsets framed with the lush hills and distant islands that define this area of Antigua.
"Serenity" was charming and comfortable as well as convenient and we never felt like we were part of a resort. It was very private and we had the advantages of a neighborhood yet were within walking distance of a huge grocery store, great restaurants, golf, tennis, pool and all the amenities of Jolly Harbor. The kitchen was fully equipped and made dining at home a nice alternative to dining out. The furnishings through out the villa were top of the line and the decor extremely appealing.
We loved the outdoor spaces. Lounging or dining on the deck overlooking the water was so relaxing. There were so many beautiful plants and flowers it was like visiting a botanical garden every morning!
Thanks to Chris and Katie for a great week at "Serenity"....hope to be back soon.
