OK but not fantastic.

First impressions of the house were great, And it’s a nice house with plenty of space and a good location. Sadly, a number of broken items (incl electrical outlets), dirty kitchen drawers, bin, rusty microwave let it down, as did the fact that the (not mentioned prior) contract we had to sign on arrival stipulated that AC (only available in bedrooms and this along with the contract should be made clear in the property’s listing) could effectively only be used for one hour a night, or additional charges would be somehow determined. This meant our sleep was never comfortable as we (incl 2 kids and a 3 month old) were hot at night.

Comfortable villa for family or group

The villa is very nice with lots of space for many guests to stay without feeling cramped. The pool is amazing. We were a group of 7 seniors and enjoyed the tranquility of the area. You do however need a vehicle since there isn't much to do or restaurants close by. Roads are not the best so to drive in the dark is sometimes challenging. We had good drivers so it didn't stop us however I could see that as an issue for others. The Villa is well located to be able to visit many sites. We visited Holetown and area, Bathsheba, The Foursquare Rum Distillery and the Hunte's garden as well as many beaches. I would recommend staying in this villa if you want peaceful surrounding and don't mind the driving.

Great Barbados Vacation

Our all adults family enjoyed a two week holiday at Serenity villa. We especially loved the ocean breeze and the variety of seating options on the veranda. The pool is deep so it is cool and refreshing which is perfect for adults. The villa landscaping attracts butterflies, birds and we were lucky enough to spot green monkeys off in the trees. If you are a birder, I suggest that you bring binoculars. The local beach is perfect for a quiet morning or evening walk and this home is a good location to drive to many lovely beaches-our favorite was enterprise. The host was responsive, the pictures accurate and we would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Andrew for sharing your home with us, we had a wonderful time.

A wonderful stay, Wedding, honeymoon and holiday

Serenity villa is the most beautiful, spacious and sensational villa . The pictures do not even do this property justice interns of space and location ! The pool is gorgeous and clean and the gardens beautifully tropical and well maintained. I had a party of 8 and had my wedding at the property . I was overwhelmed by the service and expertise which made our wedding the perfect day. I would highly recommend getting married at this property if you wish to have a wedding not on the beach but in a stunning villa ! The entrance to this property, gardens and balconies are breathtaking and perfect for photos ! . Kay the housekeeper couldn’t do enough to support and help . When we arrived Kay arranged food for our party and a fridge full of drinks at our disposal . As the villa resides in a residential location you do need a car to get around ( although local Buses are walking distance by 10 mins or less ) it was perfect for us to have all that we needed on arrival . The wedding and whole stay was truly delightful. We look forward to staying at Serenity again and are already missing it dearly !

Absolutely loved our time both in the villa and the island of barbados

The property surpassed our expectations m, pictures do not do it justice, there is nothing that you need that is not provided. The house manager (Kay) went above and beyond and was available at all times if we needed her. Words cannot express our amazing stay, fabulous, awesome, comfortable, charming with all the home comfort you will ever need.

Wonderful Stay

Just returned from an amazing vacation in Barbados and a wonderful stay at Serenity! The house is extremely spacious and our favourite part was the big back porch and the pool area. Spent many lazy afternoons here. The bedrooms are quite large and comfortable. Yes, there is no A/C downstairs as others have mentioned but we found that simply keeping the doors open to the patio brought in a lovely ocean breeze that kept the rooms quite comfortable. Andrew was quick to respond to any booking questions and Kay, the house manager, was so helpful - leading us back from the airport, leading us in to the grocery store, and checking in with us several times during the week to see if anything was needed. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

SIMPLY AMAZING

It's difficult to find the right words to express our gratitude towards Andrew the owner and Kay the house manager. They were both amazing , available and did everything they could to make our stay unforgettable. You will like royalty once you step into the mansion. Well decorated , SO SPACIOUS , we've never seen a master that big before. The views are phenomenal as well. We enjoyed the pool that was very refreshing during the hot and humid days. I HIGHLY recommend to rent a car for the duration of your stay , it's totally worth it. Everything is within 15 mins drive. It VERY safe , we came back late at night and never felt unsafe once. If you want to experience living like a "royal family" in Barbados , this is THE PLACE. Thank you Andrew and Kay , you will see us again soon. Patrick , Natasha , Chelsea , Chloe & Felix.

Serenity is exactly that

We were a family of 6 adults and an infant staying at Serenity during the week before Easter. First of all the pictures don't do justice to the size of this property and the proximity to the ocean. As you enter, the foyer is very castle-like with the block walls and the balcony surround. This opens to a front facing balcony above the front door. Straight ahead is the dining area with a table that easily sits 8 and can work for 10. To the left is a modern well equiped kitchen with lovely granite countertops and a fairly large island with matching granite. To the right is a seating area and large screen TV. A living room, laundry anbath complete the first floor. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. We used 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Each was much larger than a routine hotel room and 2 had en-suite baths. Each was also air-conditioned and had sufficient closet space. The two rear bedrooms open onto a stunning second floor veranda which includes seats to watch the ocean in the distance. Back downstairs, there are 2 French doors opening to the lower veranda which steps down to a lovely and surprisingly deep pool. The villa is located in a nice neighborhood of upscale homes and is a short walk from a rocky hiking beach. You could wade here but not really bathe. Much better beaches are a short drive.

Disappointing

I have to say I was disappointed with our accommodations. The house is very large, but unfortunately very dated. When we arrived, we spent the first little while washing down the kitchen and washing most of the pots and pans. The patio and pool area is very nice, but the furniture cushions need to be disposed of, as more than one piece had mold on it. I appreciate that the host refunded us 25%, but did not follow through with a promised bottle of wine. For people looking for local culture, it is a little far from town, but that is reflected in the attractive price of the house.

Christmas in Barbados

The property was very spacious, and in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to the beach where people kite surf; this is not a swimming beach. There is also a small market nearby called Mikes, to get food and provisions quickly. The bedrooms were large and comfortable for our family. Each had its own AC unit, however the unit in the small bedroom at the front the house was not functioning properly and needs replacing. While both the house manager and owner were responsive, the AC mechanic was not, and our daughter suffered from the heat for the majority of the stay. The many porches and lanai were wonderful to relax and view the ocean and also to have breakfast or read. The pool was refreshing and enjoyable. We purchased some floats at the local Massy supermarket to enhance our experience. The pool is 5 feet from the top of pool deck at the shallow end, which could pose some challenges for inexperienced swimmers. The kitchen was modestly equipped; we did not lack anything, so it appears the owner has corrected issues from previous reviews. The only other issues were that there is no AC or ceiling fans on the bottom floor so we needed to keep the doors open for a breeze, thus were subjected to the mosquitoes. The addition of ceiling fans, AC and screens would take this property to the next level. We enjoyed our time here and the house manager and owner were responsive and gracious.

Lovely villa in a peaceful location

Great comes with the owner, Andrew all through. He was prompt, efficient and helpful throughout. The villa is massively spacious and suited our needs perfectly. We booked a car for the two weeks we were there which is pretty much a necessity as Inch Marlow is a residential area with no bars, restaurants etc in walking distance. Taxis are plentiful but we chose a 7 seater car which worked out at £50 per day, so good value. St Lawrence Gap and Oistins are 15 to 20 minutes in the car. Back to the villa - it has a great pool but if you have small children, note that the shallow end is still 5 ft. The WiFi is excellent throughout and everything you could want is there for you. Like most places, there is always room for improvement and the place could do with some TLC like a few new kitchen items and a bit of repainting but don’t get me wrong - it is clean, spacious, has comfortable beds, plenty of towels, lovely showers- if we were to return to Barbados I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Andrew to rebook Serenity

Christmas & New Year 2019

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with family and small children. The property offered loads of space and the pool and area around it were wonderful. With the exception of one or two details (lack of some kitchen equipment and only two sets of keys) I would thoroughly recommend Serenity, which certainly lived up to its name. Many thanks.

Awesome house

This 4 BR (actually 5 bedrooms but we didn't use the 5th bedroom) is palatial and was nicer in person than in the pictures. The Master bedroom is a massive 400 sq ft with awesome 2nd-floor decks. The house and pool were very well maintained and the included a mid stay cleaning. There is a cozy restaurant on the water that is about 10 min walk called Mamu's. Everything else is a taxi ride. There are a couple of things to be aware of. The location is quiet and a little out of the way and the street address is not on google maps so a called taxi pickup may have trouble finding the house. If you plan to do frequent island traveling, get a designated driver's phone number so you can call him for pick up with 30 min heads up. My other recommendation is to add more light in the huge master bathroom, it needs it. Besides that the place is great.

Excellent value for a big group

We were a group of 8 who stayed here whilst visiting Barbados to watch England play in the cricket. Overall, the villa was great. It is huge, more than big enough for 8 guests. The outdoor area has ample space to relax with tables. chairs, loungers and a hammock. The pool is a good size. Location: A short 15 minute drive to the airport. Nothing is really within walking distance and the villa is a bit out of the way, we used Taxis to get around everywhere which were reasonable when split 8 ways. You can also get the bus if you walk around 10 minutes up the road. Mikes mini mart is a 15 minute walk away and has a good selection of essentials, food and drinks. The value for money for 8 people was excellent, especially considering the cost of guesthouses/hotels in Barbados. The only downsides is that it has been over 2 weeks and I have still not received my deposit back which seems a bit slow (not sure if this is standard for HomeAway). Also on the last day the housekeeper arrived unannounced at 9am, 2 hours before check out time to begin preparing for the next guests. At this point I did feel like we were being hurried out a little bit. I would recommend and would stay here again.

Very nice and safe property in a good location

The house was great, pool was very nice along with the rooms. It is in a good location on the island, very close to Oistins and Miami Beach which was our favorite beach here. There are a couple corner stores very close with grocery supermarkets being no more than 15 minutes away. We did a lot of our own cooking so we found the kitchen to be ok but the utensils weren't great and if you plan to do any baking bring measuring equipment. The house can be a little tough to find at first especially in the dark but just follow the provided map and you should be fine.

Plenty space and home comforts ,Sam and the staff very friendly

Are stay at Serenity was definitely Home away from Home the staff very friendly we enjoyed are 10 days stay (June 14th to 27th 2018 ) very enjoyable lots of space inside and out and very comfortable it rained every day :( . Only PROBLEM we had was when it rained at night and the doors wear closed the living area be came very very hot and could do with some ceiling fans to help with the air flow or window screens for ventilation The balcony outside the master bedroom could do with some kind of drainage because when it rained their was alway a pool of water as you open the doors and very slippery . We would definitely stay at Serenirty again if the Maynard would have us .

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Maynard

Both Alison and I have visited the island many times before. On each occasion, we've had a fantastic experience and have come to relish time spent there so much so, that we decided to build our own dream house. We enjoy the relaxing ,rejuvenating and colourful lifestyle the Island offers and are always sad to leave. Our home in the sun invites soothing ocean breezes and boasts harmony and tranquility. My wife and I feel its only right others enjoy what the island has to offer as much as we do; we would like to welcome you to Barbados and to Serenity!

A 10 minute drive from the charisma of Oistins and 20 minutes from the alluring St. Lawrence’ Gap, offers you the choice between relaxation or excitement; a difficult but desirable decision. Serenity boasts spacious bedrooms, dining/cooking areas, together with open plan verandas and balconies overlooking the pool. Each bedroom is air conditioned, although you may prefer to enjoy sweet all-day breezes.

What makes this property unique

An abundance of time and thought has gone in to this family villa to make it both comfortable and accommodating. The flowing, open plan design allows sweet and soothing breezes to spread throughout the house, both upstairs and down. The house is very spacious and has a light airy and welcoming atmosphere that is soothing and peaceful. The downstairs balcony has 4 cane chairs and seated table and plenty of space!
