My husband and I and our 3 adult sons spent a fabulous week at Serenity Villa. It was the perfect property to relax and enjoy the beauty of the island and each other. The home and property are so beautiful that my husband and I were perfectly content to just "stay home" and enjoy the awesome pool, while the "kids" went island exploring. They did manage to drag us away for some fun beach time. Our favorites were nearby Halpuna Beach and the very beautiful (and my favorite) Mauna Kea Beach. The "on property" private beach club is very convenient (you will need to drive to it) and nice, but not a good barefoot beach. It has a nice restaurant right there on the beach, called Napua, but it was closed for renovations. Serenity Villa is very close to the beautiful Fairmont Orchard Hotel, where we enjoyed a few evenings of live music. We ate most of our meals in, taking advantage of the wonderful outdoor kitchen. A very high end grill, made for some wonderful steaks and fresh fish. Being with 4 "self proclaimed chefs", I was very content to just let them have their fun. On our last evening, we treated ourselves to a dinner at the Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant in nearby Waikoloa at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a relaxed fun time, right on the beach. Good food and live music.
As a time share owner, we have stayed in many types of resorts and condos in Hawaii, making frequent trips. Now, I can honestly say, that having experienced Serenity Villa, it has completely spoiled us with such a beautiful home, all the amenities you could ask for and the very attentive owners, Jeff & Suzanne. Thank you Jeff & Suzanne for installing the grab bar in the main floor shower, to accommodate our specific needs. We also took advantage of the huge assortment of "beach toys" in the garage. To see my disabled son snorkel for the first time since his stroke, brought tears of joy. Memories were made that will be forever cherished.
I completely agree with all of the reviews about Serenity Villa. I highly recommend it and we hope to return soon. My one and only suggestion would be to provide some information on the local area and activities. Being used to timesharing, there was always someone to ask those silly questions about restaurants, activities, that sort of thing.
Mahalo, for a fabulous week!
