Absolutely Fantastic

Brick Stone London
Review Submitted: January 19, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Our family of 5 stayed at the Villa Serenity for Christmas 2008 and New Year and had a brilliant time! The villa is very clean and spacious and located near the beach, shops, bars etc. Clive is knowledgeable about Jamaica and was more than helpful with the many queries that we had. Jenny is very prompt with paperwork and replying to emails.

Nancy cooked anything and everything we wanted and offered to do more. We always returned back to a clean and tidy villa. Bruce was very helpful and regularly popped in to say hello.

The villa is located on a steep hill, but you can make it easier on yourself by using the stairs or alternatively take a taxi for approximately 300 Jamaican Dollars.

We cannot wait to return back to Ocho Rios and will definitely be contacting Jenny and Clive to stay at Villa Serenity again.

Our stay at Villa Serenity

Review Submitted: December 1, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
Myself and 2 friends have recently returned from a 2 week vacation staying at Villa Serenity. During the booking period, we liaised with Clive who was extremely pleasant, informative and explained the booking process in detail. The paperwork came promptly and the whole process was completed speedily and efficiently. The villa was absolutely beautiful; even more so than in the pictures which in particular do not show how large it is. One of the best things about the stay was the lovely staff and it was brilliant to have a cook on hand at no extra cost. The location was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have no hesitation recommending this outstanding villa. Len

Review Submitted: October 31, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We spent October 7th through the 14th 2008 at the most lovely villa. The pictures of the villa does not do it any justice, it has all of the amenities of home. I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to stay at a beautiful villa overlooking the carribean sea, at a very affordable price. it is very private, and within walking distance to the heart of the city, everythiing you could need is right in town. its close to everything. The owners are just terrific. information was provided up to the day we left. the only thing is the villa is located on a very steep hill but please don't let this not deter you from renting so a beautiful place, just catch a taxi down at the end of the hill

Review Submitted: October 23, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We had the best first experience of Jamaica in this house. Helen was the best cook and has a good sense of humor like almost all jamaicans. The view from the house is absolutely stunning. Our guide took us to some 'lookout points' but the view from our own diningtable was better! The silence was amazing, the pool perfect, the house was huge and had everything we needed and more! Thanks!!

Review Submitted: August 13, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our stay at columbus heights, was a dream. The apartment is in a position overlooking the perfect view. Its comfortable and spacious and not far from the town. We felt very welcomed, by Helen and Bruce and we would love to revisit again v. soon. This accommodation exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend it.

Wonderful Place

Jo-Anne London
Review Submitted: July 14, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
My family and I stayed here for 2 weeks during May we had one of the best holidays ever! As we have never rented a holiday home before we were a little apprehensive. We needn't have been. From the moment Jenny & Clive handled our booking everything was dealt with efficiently and professionally. They helped with transfers, provided us with information on places to visit and things to do. Nothing was too much for them. I believe they genuine care about their guests, and want to help them have a good holiday.

As for the villa the photos on the website do not do it justice! The villa is beautiful and well looked after. The pool is amazing and many a day was spent in it. A big thank you goes out to Bruce and Helen. Bruce for all his help and information and Helen for her wonderful cooking!

We will definitely be back next year for more of the same.
