From the owner

Villa Serene offers a real taste of Jamaica's South Coast. The property is off the beaten track but has all the comforts of home, nestled on a private beach and close to some of the best attractions. The property is great for lounging by the pool or a romantic night time bonfire on your private beach. The property is equipped with air conditioned bedrooms and has many outdoor and indoor entertaining space. The various nooks mean that it is ideal for multifamily rentals.

There is a pool; toddler's wading pool. Guests have full access to all areas. No amenities are shared, this is your home away from home. Staff will be present at the villa during the guests stay.

At Villa Serene, we are eco-friendly and focused on water and energy conservation. As a result, we refresh towels every other day (if needed) and linens every third day. In keeping with our commitment, we also encourage guests to turn off all lights and air conditioners when leaving the rooms to enjoy the beauty of Jamaica's South Coast.
