Location and Design The outstanding feature of Villa Serenity is unquestionably its uniquely beautiful location, within the National park at Francis Bay. This superb north shore location offers exceptional privacy, magnificent views, tranquility and undisturbed natural beauty, and it's an easy walk (no hills, 2/10s of a mile) to the gorgeous white sands and tranquil turquoise waters of Francis Bay. From your deck you can watch the sunset over Maho Bay and St. Thomas in the West, or gaze at Tortola, Peter Island, Virgin Gorda and the Francis Drake Channel to the East.

Villa Serenity is a 2 level home built of South American hardwoods and stone, with 2 bedrooms accessed by exterior stairs on the lower level and 2 bedrooms, the kitchen and living areas and a full length deck on the upper level.

Bedrooms. The upper level master bedrooms (queen beds) are located at opposite ends of the house for maximum privacy. Both have screened sliding glass doors that open to the upper deck and great views. The lower bedrooms (1 full bed, 3 twins that can convert to 1 king and 1 twin) open to the lower deck. All bedrooms have a/c and tiled baths.

Living/Dining/Kitchen. The stone and mahogany living room has terra cotta tiled floors, cathedral ceilings, Lloyd Flanders wicker furniture and striking views looking north and east. A color TV/VCR and stereo/cassette/cd are included.

The interior glass topped table seats 8, or you can dine under the gazebo at the table for 8. The kitchen is equipped for 8 and includes a microwave, blender, coffee maker, etc.

Caribbean Villa's View. Our guests keep telling us, "I didn't know there were any villas in Francis Bay!" They're right, except for Villa Serenity and its neighbor, there are no homes in this pristine waterfront setting. Plus, Villa Serenity is hidden from view, nothing sees you and you see nothing except sunsets, tropical forests, turquoise waters and sailboats off in the distance. Today Francis Bay remains exactly as it was when the National Park acquired these lands in 1952, unspoiled, undeveloped and beautiful.

The house itself should not be overlooked, for Villa Serenity is certainly a spacious, comfortable and relaxing tropical home, but what makes this villa really stand apart from the crowd (literally and figuratively) is its Francis Bay location.

Villa Serenity is ideal for any kid or adult who would love to live 4 minutes from exquisite swimming, snorkeling, hiking, and beach combing in a very private and natural location that is totally surrounded by virginal National Park mountains, forests and beaches. This is a genuine get away from it all vacation home that is like few others on St. John.

The Francis Bay Estate villa is a neighbor of Villa Serenity and is also one of our Ultra Luxury Villas of St John. If Sereny is unavailable and you must have this location, this is your other choice.
