Your spacious 2-story, 2 BR, 2BA, waterfront villa with A/C awaits! Step out of your Eco-friendly villa and relax! The turquoise sea and countryside are your view. Relax with a soft drink or cocktail at the pool which is steps from your door, or on your private patio or balcony. Staying on the East end has gotten so much easier with the new main road! Traveling from the airport or exploring the island, the newly paved road, has made a huge difference! Logistically, our entire property consists of the main house where the owners reside with our 3 dogs. The Boathouse (which sleeps 2) (VRBO #3263136), and your villa. Which sleeps up 4 people. PLEASE NOTE, ONLY REGISTERED GUESTS ARE ALLOWED AT THE POOL OR IN THE RENTAL. ADDITIONAL VISITORS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBIITED. We invite all our guests to enjoy our 30-foot-long swimming pool, sun patio, and covered seating area as well as complimentary use of our kayaks & paddle board & Gas grill. Because we are small, crowds at the pool are never a problem. The villa comfortably sleeps up to 4 people. The first floor consists of a living area with a double-sized futon, a kitchen/small dining area plus a full bath. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes complimentary starter coffee, tea. You even have a blender and coffee grinder. A visit to the supermarket en route is a good idea. Bring re-usable shopping bags. Outdoor dining is an option on your veranda where you have a table and 2 chairs plus 2 full size lounges. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and a full bath. Both bedrooms have queen size beds. The main bedroom also has a small deck where you can enjoy the view, breeze and your favorite beverage. The south shore is known for lovely breezes, so the ceiling fans throughout the villa keep the accommodations very comfortable however, there are A/C units in each bedroom and a split unit A/C which serves the downstairs area if you prefer. * The villa is on the first two floors of the 3-story building on the waterside with a private entrance. The property owners' veranda and a small part of their living room are on the floor above. The water in the bight is clean here on the south shore where the shallow reef attracts a variety of sea life. The breezes are wonderful for coolness and helping to keep bugs at bay. Please plan on bringing reef-friendly sunscreen and/or rash guards. We encourage the use of re-fill water bottles and provide a fresh clean water station inside your villa. Leave no trace and respect the reef and sea life. Please no throwing anything in the water and no touching, standing on, or taking souvenirs from the reef. We do not have a beach but Turqois Bay is a 5 minute ride and Camp Bay beach is about a 20 minute ride. Our private dock offers unlimited opportunities! Leisurely snorkel our shallow area of the reef, or kayak to the nearby mangrove tunnels built by the Paypan Indians and used by pirates. Other kayak destinations include nearby restaurants like Trico’s (Jonesville Point Marina), On the Rock, or Hole in the Wall, Sit-On-Top Kayaks, which guests often pay to rent elsewhere on the island are are included free with this rental. Our guests tell us the island's best snorkel is right at the entrance to our bight, where you can snorkel day after day and always see different marine life. Other options available are arranging for personalized dive services, boat excursions, or catamaran snorkeling trips.

Access to dive, restaurants and other great activities via water taxi is available right from our dock. Please note we also maintain a strict quiet time from 9 pm - 7 am. Guests are welcome to enjoy subdued conversation and the fresh ocean breezes during these times. Kindly understand this rule is to insure everyone’s peaceful time early and later. Pool hours are 8-6 but the grill can be used up until 8 pm. We are away from the noisy main tourist area and cruise ships, yet only 20 minutes from French Harbour restaurants and shopping. We're just 3 miles from Turquoise Bay and west of Jonesville and Oakridge. Our property is situated surrounded by woods and has lush tropical flora. Windwood Serenity is an ideal place to relax and revive while getting in touch with nature. You wont hear street traffic, beach vendors, or blenders.

Fantastic hosts
Easy check in & transport process from airport
Pool is clean & so fun to look down on the cove from
Kitchen had everything we needed
Mangroves are super close by & having kayaks was so fantastic
Great place to get away from the crowded west end. Secluded bay off the South side of island with great snorkling and kayaks to use. Did require some up and down steps and a steep driveway, but well worth the effort. Nancy and Phil were great to deal with and have helpful suggestions.
Nancy and Phil are wonderful hosts and it was a pleasure waking up to the view of the Caribe point bay and watching the sunset. The pool was unexpectedly warm and refreshing as it's a salt water pool. It's a great place to relax watching Nancy's flowers grow and Edgar the chameleon coming to visit (and eat food out of Phil's hand). My wife and I would enjoy staying there again.
This was such a beautiful spot to relax. Views in every direction.... The house was perfect: lots of room, well-equipped kitchen, and the fans were all we needed to keep comfortable. Most of the time there was a lovely breeze. The pool area was perfect at all times of the day. Nancy and Phil could not have been more helpful.... Kayaaks were such a plus for exploring the mangrove tunnels , restaurants (Tricos was by far our favourite local spot)...and snorkelling spots nearby. A lovely relaxing holiday.
We were two couples who stayed at Nancy and Phil’s two bedroom unit for 10 days. Location: The unit is located on a beautiful bight(bay), protected by the reef. A short 5 minute kayak ride to the famous mangroves, and through the mangroves to a plethora of restaurants and bars. The location is great if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the West Island. It is 30 minutes to French Harbour however the roads are very bumpy with numerous potholes for the last 15 minutes to the unit. Driving to the unit can be a nuisance however once you accept it is part of the drive it is not a problem. Amenities: The unit has everything you need for your stay. From coffee maker, hair dryer, towels, kayaks etc. be prepared that the microwave, dishes, etc are all order and not necessarily matching or in sets. Does this matter? No one bit when it comes to use however if you are expecting matching sheets, complete sets of dishes,etc then you will be disappointed. Bugs: There are bugs everywhere on the island and that is to be expected in a tropical climate. There were some ants in the unit however we’re not a bother and were limited to the kitchen mainly. Even with a trap and a clean kitchen they persisted for most of our stay. The unit hadn’t been occupied for several months prior to our stay so the high humidity in the unit definitely contributed to the number of ants. Electricity: 68 for ten days. An excellent stay, location, hosts!
We have stayed at the property in the past (under previous ownership) and it suits our needs nicely. Our priorities are 1) peace and quiet away from the tourist zones, 2) good reef snorkeling that's easily accessible, 3) kayaking, 4) pool. For anyone looking for these things (especially to relax away from tourists), this property will fit the bill nicely. We paddled out to the reef to snorkel, daily, and would paddle out to Hole in the Wall, the floating Salt Spray Mangrove Bar, and Mangroves Paradise Bar & Grill to hang out and enjoy cold beers. The property also has an excellent pool that if perfect for relaxing in, or around. We found the new owners to be accommodating, personable, and responsive.
The house is accurately represented in the pictures. It’s right on the water, and we enjoyed using the kayaks and snorkeling in the inlet. The hill getting down to the house and to the dock is steep, which was no issue for us but something to be aware of. I recommend this place as great for relaxing, swimming in the pool, and exploring the water.
