| Serenity's prize location is a waterfront acre eight miles west of Montego Bay on a stretch of seascape called "the Jamaican Riviera" by Travel and Leisure. | |
 Bedroom 3 |
 Bedroom 4 (200 sq ft) |
Bedrooms 3 and 4 |
 |
Three air-conditioned
400-square-foot bedrooms are equal in size ~ soft and romantic with kingsize
beds and Ralph Lauren wallpapers. Six softly-curtained French doors open from each bedroom to the long verandah and view of the sea just steps away. The smaller fourth bedroom is located between the Master Bedroom and Bedroom 2. | |
 |  |
The large Master Bedroom opens to its own furnished verandah. Three other sitting areas are designed for comfort, privacy and observing the all-day mesmerizing view. |

The
long marble verandah adjoins the sun-drenched pool. A short terraced walkway leads from the pool to the lower waterfront deck with more chaises. Each night, the sound of waves lapping at the beach lulls guests to sleep in Serenity by the sea. |
|
 |
 |
Just beyond
the verandah and pool, a terraced stone walkway leads to one of the two
outdoor showers, lower waterfront terrace with chaises, beach and sea. |
|
 |
 | |
 |
 |
|
Memorable home-cooked meals are served on the verandah or on the pool terrace
under the almond tree ... just steps from the sea. |

Serenity shares
a basketball hoop and private tennis court with neighboring Tranquillity on the Beach (bring tennis balls and racquets, basketball provided). |
||
 |

 |
 |
|
Two sea kayaks are complimentary. |

 |  | |
Our
favorite fisherman, Gary, comes to the Serenity beach each morning with his catch
from the night. You may have fresh red snapper, kingfish or lobster for dinner tonight! When the sea is calm, our raft man neighbor, Hugh, drifts by to offer guests a poled raft ride. | ||

100 yards offshore is Holden's
Reef, a continuation of the barrier reef complex that fronts much of
Jamaica's north coast. Easily reachable by kayak, this live reef is
home to a myriad of tropical fish and corals. At low tide, portions
protrude above the water so you can step from your kayak to snorkel in shallow water. On the ocean side, deeper waters beckon the more adventurous or scuba equipped. |

Combining
Serenity and Tranquillity creates a 9-bedroom compound with 2 pools,
tennis court, long beachfront and staff of 10. Beyond Tranquility
is our glamorous neighbor, Noble House on the
Beach, which accommodates 8 or 10 more guests. Combining these
3 homes creates a 13-bedroom compound with 3 pools, tennis court,
long beachfront and staff of 18 (including 4 butlers and 3 chefs). This remarkable waterfront trio is a favorite for weddings and family reunions. All 3 villas are child friendly and very private from each other. |
