Serenity by the Sea

Serenity is one of the most beloved and often revisited villas on Jamaica's beautiful north coast. Its prize location is a waterfront acre 8 miles west of Montego Bay. Grounds include a shared tennis court, basketball hoop, and a heated pool.

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.

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, a 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 by the Sea and Tranquillity creates an 11-bedroom compound with 2 pools, a tennis court, a long beachfront, and a staff of 10. These remarkable waterfront villas are a favorite for weddings and family reunions. Both villas are child-friendly and very private from each other.

If you’ve left your pets behind while you take a vacation, be advised that Serenity is home to 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.
