"We had a busy week on St. John. Serendip worked well very well for us, though my wife never quite got used to driving on Jacob's Ladder. It will give her another story to tell."

"We had an excellent week at Serendip! Each day we could hardly believe we would have another day is paradise!"
Ryan & Rebekah, GA, August 13, 2011 - Condo: Hibiscus

"My husband and I had a wonderful time on the island, and we absolutely love Serendip condos! This was our second time to the island, but our first time staying at Serendip, but let me just say that we will be back and we will always stay at Serendip! Ashley is great and will help you out with any questions or anything you might need! We got married on this trip down on Trunk Bay and it was just gorgeous!"

The Battistas and The Christners, PA, April 3-14, 2011 - Condo: Gecko

"Sunshine, beaches... and a place to call home. Thanks for the retreat from all the fun places and things to do. A sunrise greeted by local birds. A sunset drifting into a dream-like starlit sky and the view of St. Thomas... Having the choice to walk to town and the market to fix a meal at home enhanced several evenings and gave my family a chance to reunite. Ashley greeted us and made us feel as part of her extended family, checking in regularly to see if we were happy. The treats were welcome on our arrival and gave us a chance to have a snack while we gained our St. John bearings... My only complaint is that we did not stay longer."

"Delta was perfect for us-and so well-equipped-we lacked NOTHING. We never put the AC on once... Loved the night frogs, fed the banana quits sugar everyday-bought a hummingbird feeder, which we are leaving here... Really liked having the coolers available and the beach chairs. Spent one afternoon at the pool too. Easy to park the car. Ashley was very helpful. We found Serendip on the Internet-we will be back...

"We are regulars to St. John and Serendip, love them both...Fiesta is a wonderful unit. You have such good taste and I appreciated the granite, the quality appliances and kitchen utensils, nice furniture, comfortable beds and nicely decorated...all very much contributed to our comfort and feeling at home. Of course, the view from the balcony is the best part of the condo and we spent much time out there."
Debbie & Rebecca, NH, January 12, 2011 - Condo: Fiesta

Great stay at Serendip - wonderful view from our patio, very peaceful days (morning call from a rooster every morning). Made 2 lovely cat friends who welcomed us home every day. We hiked Rams Head - wonderful in the morning. Also hiked ruins at Cinnamon Bay sailed Kekoa on a day trip to Jost, Pirates Penny to the Baths. The manager is a great manager - always helpful & keeps everything in great shape.
Carol & Greg, St. Louis, MO, January, 2011

2010

"A wonderful place to spend the holiday...The condo is lovely and we made great use of the patio to bookend our busy days. This was a welcome retreat from the snowy winter of the Midwest. Your condo is equipped with everything we needed... This has truly been a magical vacation. Thanks for the lovely place to call home while we were here."
Connie & Craig, Davenport, IA, Dec 18-24, 2010 - Condo: Coral

We had an amazing time. Loved the way our condo was decorated, and appreciated all the little things included in the condo. The snorkeling was fabulous. The manager was fantastic - he helped us find the property in the dark after we got off the car ferry from St. Thomas. We will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later! Serendip is a wonderful place, with wonderful people.
Sam & Brian, Milwaukee, WI, December, 2010

The price for Serendip is very reasonable. It is not a 4-5 star resort by any means, but if you are looking for a great place with a wonderful view, natural scenery and grounds, and away from it all... Then Serendip is the place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone. The things we enjoyed most about our Serendip stay was, the view and the natural beauty surrounding the condos was amazing. The other thing that we loved about Serendip was the decor and furniture in the units which you can relax in and really feels like a home away from home.
Daniel, December, 2010

To the Manager: Thanks for making our 3rd trip to St. John another excellent one. We loved the Condo at Serendip.
Mark & Helen, Royal Oaks, MI, November, 2010

It was a great honeymoon! We visited Hawksnest and Maho Bay (early is best). Saw lots of fish, sea turtles, string rays, and even squid. Took a trip to Virgin Gorda with Cruz Bay Water Sports - "it was worth it", and snorkeling Norman Island Caves was better than staying on St. John on a stormy day. Hiking the short trail to Francis Bay was nice, and taking a drive around the island is recommended, and be sure to stop at Skinny Legs for a burger and a beer!
Elisha & Nancy, NYC, November, 2010

The colorful island decor really helps to set the mood and the view through the back windows and from the veranda is AMAZING.
Angie, Nov 2010

Overall Serendip was a great place to stay. Hope you can continue to keep the prices relatively low and the quality high! For a family/couple used to 'normal' life furnishings, it was fine. The top one or two things enjoyed about our stay were having a comfortable, private place to relax after being out all day on the beach. Loved being able to cook our own meals!
Dan & Carolyn, Nov 2010

What we enjoyed most about our stay was value and location, it's perfect.
Mark, Nov 2010

Serendip provides a "great value and (we) enjoyed all the amenities". The weather was the best ever during our stay.
Mary, Nov 2010

We enjoyed the sunsets from the perfect porch view. We have stayed at Serendip all three times we vacationed on St. John and will continue to do so. We always recommend Serendip to our friends and family. The price for value is why we stay at Serendip and we love the view. We hope to be back soon!
Nancy, Nov 2010

We loved our stay at Serendip. Our Condo was more than we expected. What an attractive, comfortable place to stay while on St. John.
Ernie and Ginger, Foxboro, NC, October, 2010

Overall we were really happy with Serendip. We found Serendip on the Internet when a place we wanted to rent was not available this summer. What we most enjoyed about our Serendip stay was (it's) proximity to town and stores and how quiet and relaxing it was.
Diane, Aug 2010

We absolutely loved staying at Serendip in Fiesta. The condo is well taken care of & just gorgeous. Loved the welcome package in the fridge when we got here! ...View is breathtaking. Makes each day that much better! Thanks, to the manager for everything!
Elana & Jack, Quakertown PA Nov 13, 2010

This is our second time on St John as well as Serendip. We love it! The manager is amazing at what he does! He makes our stay worry free...We will without a doubt be back next year!
Mark & Lesley L, Oklahoma City OK Oct 28 - Nov 3, 2010

St John Island is beautiful! The weather was perfect...the manager is a wonderful host...we snorkeled every day and visited several beaches....Juliette studio is perfect and we hope to be back soon to visit The manager and Zoro.
Jeff & Kathy C, Indianapolis IN Oct. 16 - 23, 2010

Our 1st trip staying on St. John. Juliette was perfect! The manager was very helpful and always available. It was very quiet and peaceful. Loved every second of this trip and will plan on coming back! Thanks!
Leivrie & Keisha C, Amanda OH Sept 26 - Oct 3, 2010

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here - what a spectacular view - crystal clear mornings and wowie sunsets! I am a bird lover and so was thrilled to have banaquits and hummingbirds all day long! Thankfully my daughter lives on island - so I always have an excuse to come back, thought I really don't need one - the Rock has stolen my heart! Thanks also to The manager who was so sweet and took such good care!
Sandy, Cary NC Sept 5 - 11, 2010

Enjoyed the visit! We most enjoyed the view anytime and the birds.
Jamie B. September 2010

Very nice condo for the price, Very nice views and excellent service. Well equipped kitchen, nice TVs and movies.
Les H. August 2010

Thank you for a wonderful week here at Coral. The unit surpassed our expectations and the veranda was the perfect place to greet the morning, watch the birds and bats, and toast the setting sun...We loved our stay and look forward to our return.
Mike and Tracy New York City NY August 19, 2010

Our 4th trip to St. John and 1st time staying at Serendip. We loved Juliette! Perfect size for just the two of us and so peaceful...The manager was great, we'll be back!
Sara & Shaun S, Rockford MI Aug 14 - 21, 2010

We had a fantastic time! Loved Serendip. Spent lots of time on our deck looking out towards the ocean, and taking it easy by the pool. Did some hiking, off road driving, and of course beaching! ...Thank you! Hope to make it back to the island some day! PS Thanks The manager!
Robert and Jana, Sacramento CA August 15, 2010

We write this as we pack to go back home. So we write depressed. We really don't want to leave. Amazing is an understatement to describe this place. We truly hope to be back soon. I learned to snorkel here, not such a bad training ground. We packed in every minute her and we still can use another week. We leave with our souvenirs and wonderful memories and enough pictures to fill five albums. Beautiful (but so hot) weather the entire time...I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my time here. To spend a week in paradise with my favorite person. Life doesn't get much better..
Kelly

...After the long days, coming back to watch the sunset on the verandah with the girl you love, well, it doesn't get any better...Jon
John and Kelly, August 4 - 12, 2010

Peaceful and had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable.
Carrie C. August 2010

We would definitely stay again. We got a great deal. We most enjoyed the patio and the close proximity to town.
Sara S. August 2010

We had a wonderful stay here at Serendip and on St. John island. The snorkeling & hiking was amazing. We also loved locating the iguanas in the hibiscus tree. Thanks for making our stay a nice one - the snacks on arrival were so appreciated!
Stacy & James July 22, 2010

We enjoyed St John & Serendip! Fiesta was well stocked - it made our trip that much better. The kitchen has all the utensils, pans, and little extras to cook a good meal. The mattresses were super soft, the movies and books ...were great. Love the attention to detail put into Fiesta. The pool and deck and views are lovely!
Leslie, George, & Jack M, Granville OH July 18, 2010

We were there 4th of July weekend. Spectacular view of the firework also. Balcony area was nice and the furniture excellent to curl up with a book. Being able to prepare our own meals and the peace and quiet were the top two things we enjoyed most during our stay Serendip. More than enough room for everyone.
Carmen W. July 2010

We will be back for sure. The price was unbeatable and the complex and condos were beyond the price point. Thank you very much for doing such a great job. Best things were hanging out on the balcony and the peacefulness of this place. The manager was the best host; he helped with everything we needed and was beyond.
Jessica C. July 2010

This was our second stay at Serendip and would stay again. Love the island, love Serendip.
Karen M. July 2010

(1st visit) I fly back to DC tomorrow and I'm leaving with so many wonderful memories of beautiful St. John. I turned 29 yesterday and what a better place to celebrate a birthday than in paradise! I came here alone after a week long mission trip in Haiti. At first I kind of felt weird since it was my first trip traveling alone. But gradually I warmed up to the idea and made myself right at home. I came primarily for Carnival on July 5th but also to relax after Haiti. I was able to go to (various bays)...I will always remember this trip and my stay in Juliette which I call my princess room. I hope to come back here with my husband someday. ...if I get married. St John has a special place in my heart...
Maria W, Springfield VA July 9, 2010

A lovely week, weather was great. Only rained Saturday. The island's beaches are absolutely beautiful. "Just like the pictures". This was our first trip to St John, so we stayed busy exploring the island from stem to stern.
The Fields, NC June 15, 2010

All I can say is this is the most beautiful island I've seen. I can only hope to return here one day with the best company I have & with ...I began this journey with my love! ...The hiking was amazing and the treasure that you find at the end is well worth the sweat! Although it did rain ALLOT when we were here, it didn't take away from the tranquility that was well needed! I don't want to leave, but looking forward to returning. The best part was the snorkeling, sea turtles, stingray & numerous fish!
Teresa & Nick N June 3, 2010

Amazing vacation. I'm reluctant to even share how great it was because I want to keep it to myself. The manager is great.
Danielle G. June 2010

We had a lovely week as a family of four. We took advantage of every day by snorkeling.... The accommodations were wonderful. Having a hose to rinse off kids and equipment meant having a cleaner condo. The kids searched for iguanas every morning by hanging out on the veranda. The manager helped us every time we had a question and he was one of the reasons we chose this place - he had great reviews.
The Sampsons, June 2010

Arrived yesterday for nephew's wedding on Saturday and am enjoying resting up after those exciting rides thru St. Thomas and St. John. Seeing the youngsters in the pool is already going on so the party's begun! Thanks for the tips and thanks for such comfortable accommodations. Just can't lose.
Ann from AZ, June 2010

Hi - thanks so much for such a comfortable homey place away from home. We have enjoyed our stay here immensely - especially the veranda with all its furnishings. We even slept out there part of the time! Like camping with all the tree frogs singing to us! We enjoyed St. John alot and recommend Trunk Bay for snorkeling and just chilling. Also enjoyed Hawsknest and hiked to Solomon Bay and Waterlemon. Also visited Annaberg for our history lesson, Maho Bay, Salt Pond and Coral Bay...We enjoyed our one week on this beautiful islands and are very glad that we found Serendip. Thanks for making our trip great, with a wonderful place to stay! We hope that we may return some day! And Thanks to The manager for all his hard work too!
Denny and Cathy, June 2010

All I can say is this is the most beautiful island I've seen. I can only hope to return here one day with the best company I have and who I began this journey with, my love! The hiking was amazing and the treasure that you find at the end is well worth the sweat! Although it did rain here allot when we were here, it didn't take away from the tranquility that was well needed! I don't want to leave, but look forward to returning. The best part was the snorkeling, sea turtle, sting rays, and numerous fish!
Theresa & Nick, June 2010

Our family came here after 9 days of sailing the BVI...we arrived at Serendip tired, sun burned and still have a feeling of rolling and rocking. The welcome package in the refrigerator with the bright red bougainvillea, the welcome visit of Mr. The manager Johnson and a shower immediately recharged us. We recuperated quickly and were able to explore St. John, hiking the ruins of the sugar mill, walking around the beautiful grounds of Caneel Bay, snorkeled the different beautiful clear, blue-green bays, visiting the galleries and boutiques. We rested and enjoyed the veranda, taking time to observe the lizards, iguanas, bananaquits and listening to the choral presentation of the tree frogs while looking out to the beautiful Cruz Bay. We truly enjoyed our stay at Serendip! Thank you!

Thank you, for making me feel "at home" in your condo. I can see that you have really loved St. John. I have been to all Virgin Islands (US and British) before and I decided to return to St. John because of The National Park, hiking, snorkeling, swimming and the special beauty of this particular place in the Caribbean. Your condo has all the touches of the real home and your veranda and the view are fabulous. The manager is very hepful and does a great job!
Jacek, May 2010

We had such a wonderful time at Serendip and on St. John. We snorkeled at four different beaches...ate lots of seafood at several different restaurants and BBQd one night here by the pool. It is so relaxing here and exactly what we needed. Thanks for letting us stay here. Thanks to The manager for being so helpful!
Jackie and RJ, May 2010

Thanks so much for such a comfortable homey place away from home. We have enjoyed our stay here immensely - especially the verandah with all its furnishings. We even slept out there part of the time! Like camping with all the tree frogs singing to us! We enjoyed St. John allot and recommend Trunk Bay for snorkeling and just chilling. Also enjoyed...(other beaches and hiking)...We enjoyed our one week on this beautiful island and are very glad that we found Serendip and Coral. Thanks for making our trip great with a wonderful place to stay! Hope that we may return someday. PS Thanks to The manager for all his hard work too!
Denny & Cathy W, Louisville OH May 2010

Where do I begin? I am writing this on the eve of our departure and I can say is pure bliss. Our first time to the island and not our last. We enjoyed the magnificent view as well as the very cool accommodations. The manager is very welcoming as are the people on this wonderful island, We are returning for Christmas and may move to St. John within a year and a half. ...Next time we will visit more bays with rental car. Will miss St. John.
Until next time, Brenda and Shanta, Vermont April 22, 2010

Thank you very much for making (condo) available for us. We just barely got out of Leeland the day before the volcano erupted. Before arriving here, we chartered a boat and sailed around the BVI which was great. Here on wonderful St john we enjoyed snorkeling (especially around Waterlemon Cay) and became certified divers at Low Key Watersports. In short, we loved every minute of our stay! Your condo is very nice an offered everything we needed and then some. We spent a few nights at "home" and enjoying the great veranda after a long day hiking and swimming. We could ask for nothing more.
Hation & Svala, Leeland Ireland, April 2010

We had a wonderful week, thanks in big part to Serendip...We will miss St. John and can't wait to return! PS Memories of our week will "Echo" for years to come.
Hannah, Beth, Carol & Callie, April 2010

Condo is beautifully decorated and the view is stunning. Mornings and nights on the balcony were best.
Chris and Laura's Girls' Getaway Spring 2010

We come to St. John often - as a matter of fact this is our second time this year. We came back on a one way ticket and we're not sure when we're going back!!! Isn't that great??? St. John teaches me how to be a better person. I've learned to slow down and think about what's important in life. It is such a beautiful place and the history of the islands is so rich. We have stayed in several condos at Serendip and this is our first time in Fiesta. Your condo is so beautiful and comfortable and I love the way it is decorated. I would love it if you could come to our home and give me some decorating ideas! You condo is proof positive that you don't have to stay in a fancy expensive villa on St. John or at an all inclusive resorts. It doesn't get any better than this! The manager is such a wonderful person - so accommodating too! He will go out of his way to get anything you need or want. He's done such a great job at Serendip that it's hard to book a reservation because the place is booming. Way to go, The manager! Thank you for sharing Fiesta with us!
Sandy and George, April 2010

So happy with Serendip 2010 - pool is great!
Dennis & Becky, Mary & Pat April 2010

We loved our condo. It had all we needed for a great week away from the cold North. We swam at Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Caneel and Francis Bay. We all liked different beaches. The verdict is out with us. We agreed to disagree on which beach was the best...and the weather...it couldn't have been any better. The manager was great! Very helpful!!! Thanks so much for sharing your paradise with us.
Sharon, Mike, Mary Kathryn (13) & Ryan (10), March 2010

Thank you for making your island home available to us. We loved the views and the porch - very relaxing! And feeding the yellow birds was fun -we went through a whole bag of sugar! We had many fun adventures while here - highlight being to swim out to Waterlemon Cay and snorkel/sail w/ Captain Phil. PS - The manager did a great job!
Rick and June, March 2010

Our first time in the Virgin Islands. St. John and Serendip were both perfect. We made good use of the deck with its beautiful scenery in between all our adventures - hiking, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking. It was all great!
Patrice & Jerry, February 2010

Was our second trip "on-land" at St John (usually charter a sailboat). (Condo) is a lovely condo and we appreciate all the little touches you provided with such care. The welcome basket was enjoyed with relish - such a gracious gift!
George & Shirley, February 2010

What a terrific week - weather, shopping, beaches. Perfect place to run away from snow storm! Everyone is very friendly and The manager very helpful. Loved the welcome snacks after a long plane trip. The week gave me all I had hoped for - needed peace and quiet to read, reflect, and look out at a stunning view. My second time here and certainly hope to return.
Gwen, February 2010

We enjoyed our week immensely. In fact, we are very sad to be leaving. We loved the relaxed feeling, the gorgeous beaches and the lush vegetation. Sitting on porch with the breathtaking view was a special treat. We will be back.
The Dillons, February 2010

Leaving for Chicago after a most wonderful respite stay in your home. Your attention to making the unit luxurious, yet island made my St John days even more wonderful. The manager certainly represents your interest well, maintaining a lovely environment, complimenting your unit. I look forward, with excitement, to being back...next winter!!
Stephanie, February 2010

Mom and I came for a mother-daughter trip. We loved staying at Serendip! The manager was great and this place had everything we needed! ...Can't wait to return, already planning our next trip!
Mary Gail & Maura, January 2010
PS Do NOT want to return to snow in Boston!

This was our first visit to St. John and it was wonderful. (Our Unit) was perfect - just what we were looking for. Starting each day on the deck appreciate the view was a real treat. The beaches are all beautiful...we are sad to leave and hope to come back soon!
Zach & Allyson, January 2010

2009

Wow! Do we feel privileged to be the first to experience all the improvements at Serendip! It's been a great 4 days, discovering St John and relaxing on the verandah enjoying your wonderful view. ...Fantastic break - Serendipity is an important word for both of us, and Serendip has lived up to everything it's come to mean. Thank you for letting us share your wonderful home.
Cynthia & Sonya, (school friends since age 11), December 2009

...We loved our condo! ...Ah, the beaches. We enjoyed them all..The manager has been great and we loved our stay here.
Betsy and Pet, December 2009

It was a very nice stay. We absolutely enjoyed this trip. Thank you for The manager, Serendip and the beautiful view. We LOVE St. John. Will be back!
Greg & Angela December 2009

St. John This was our first time at Serendip and we truly enjoyed every minute. Fantastic views and everything you need. Close to town, restaurants and whatever you want to do is at your finger tips. We came all the way from California because we love to snorkel and it was probably the best, and we have snorkeled all over the world. This is our third time in St John and if and when we come back, we will stay at Serendip. So relaxing and enjoyable.
Paul & Robert, December 2009

Second time at Serendip, first time in (condo) - we love it!
Lynne & Oliver, Renee and Don, December 2009

Thank you! A beautiful place, a wonderful time
Don & Joy, December 2009

Great vacation and who needs a car - ride the bus, use the taxis. Great way to meet people; oh, and walk to town always a great time! We will be back!
Donny & Brenda, November 2009

Came for the first time, we will be back again. We came to attend my brother's wedding...just fabulous! We snorkeled, swam, shopped, ate and just soaked it all in. What a memorable week. The weather was fine - a bit of rain a day - just magical - rainbows and warm breezes. The accommodations were quite comfortable - the porch outstanding! What a wonderful place to spend with family.
Moniove, Bob & Chandler, November 2009

St. John is a great place, I will definitely be back and Serendip is the place to stay!
Chris & Cindy, November 2009

What a great way to spend a vacation! Mesmerized by the view - wish we could bring it home to Boston. Loved Trunk Bay!! We were very comfortable staying in (condo), just like being at home. This is our second year to St. John and Serendip - we will be back.
Jean & Pauline, October 2009

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Serendip. The view from (our condo) took our breath away. Thanks for all the fish decorations; they really make the whole place look bright and cheerful. The manager was a great host and accommodated our every need...Thanks Serendip for a wonderful stay!
Leslie and John, October 2009

Thanks to Serendip and The manager it was like home away from home. Love the balcony, the birds sing so nicely! Love all the tropical plants and trees, we can't grow this in Texas...
Alicia, Mervin, Cole & Camille, August 2009

We had a pleasant time at Serendip. St. John is beautiful and we enjoyed everything. Mr. The manager is a nice person. We hope to come again one day.
Rosselle & Folsio (Florence Italy), July 2009

This place is unbelievable. Serendip has everything you need. We think its tradition to leave something behind, so we left pancake batter and syrup lol. This was my first time here. I'm a New Yorker and that means automatic guards up. But this place makes you so sociable the people here are so so friendly. And they just want you to enjoy yourself on "their" island. Such a nice family and you always see the same faces (which is a good thing). The manager is the best. Anything you need he gets it for you (but you don't need anything!)...I can't wait to come back. I experienced so many many memories that I will have with me for ever.
Sandy & Friends, July 2009

We loved our stay in (the condo). It was cute and comfy. We had 3 children, 7, 10, 11. And with all the beaches you know they still wanted to be in the pool. The manager made our stay very enjoyable, and was very helpful with all our needs. Thank you, and hope to return soon.
Shawron, Aspen, Cassandra, Chance, Searly, July 2009

Beautiful island! Great food, people, beaches, snorkeling, and weather. Sure will miss this sun back in New York! Be back soon!
John & Emma, July 2009

We came to St. John to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. This has been our best vacation since our younger days while were stationed in Europe. St. John has been everything and more than the National Geographic's article mentioned as one of the must see places...Serendip has been an added treasure with great accommodations and spectacular sunsets 9from the privacy of the large verandah). The manager Johnson has been wonderful with everything, from island history to excellent tips, setting up car rental (highly recommend) and a great welcoming treat.
Gary & Diata, June 2009

We loved being here! The spirit and the ambiance of the condo helped up relax and enjoy the island. We had been here before, and thank you...
Sue, Rich & James, April 2009

Our third trip to St. John and we had a wonderful time. We hope it is not another five years before we are back again.
Joe & Vickie, March 2009

We loved staying in your place. We love the island and had fun in every way. Your "casita" is lovely.
The O'Dowd's, March 2009

Our last day at Serendip. The morning serenade is in full swing and the clouds over St. Thomas reflect the glow of the rising sun. These moments lift my heart and fill me with gratitude for such an amazing world God has created. St. John is indeed a paradise. Perhaps next time we will stay three weeks instead of two...maybe even longer someday.
Barbara & Dewey, February 2009

Thank you for providing a lovely condo during our second stay at Serendip. We enjoyed the welcoming package in the refrigerator. We enjoyed the magnificent view from the well furnished verandah. Oh, how nice to eat breakfast and enjoy the morning watching the banaquits (yellow birds). There was plenty of storage for the four of us during our nine night stay, and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The manager was very helpful...providing helpful suggestions and recommendations throughout our stay.
