About this property

Spectacular Oceanfront Villa, Private Pool 2 BR/2 BA

(PHTOS ARE ACCURATE AFTER HURRICANE IRMA)
Take in a relaxing day or evening swim in your own very private pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea. You will love the spectacular sunsets and watching the magnificent cruise ships set sail each night while enjoying cocktails and dinner pool side. Bring your fishing and snorkeling gear (or rent it nearby) there is fantastic fishing and snorkeling directly in front of the villa. If you are looking for entertainment on the island, there is a fabulous piano bar just down the street and wonderful restaurants at your finger tips, no need to go far.

Constance will keep your villa very clean and take wonderful care of you twice a week. My guests love speaking with Constance as she is full of stories and suggestions as to what to see on the island.

We look forward to sharing our very special villa with you and know once you stay at Villa Sera Bella, you will return, just ask the majority of our clients. References available upon request.

View was amazing

Everything was exactly as described. The whole transaction went smoothly, working with Doug was a pleasure. From the moment you walk through the front door you see the AMAZING view. We spent a lot of time on the covered patio and in the pool. Couldn't bring ourselves to leave that view some days so the BBQ grill came in handy on those days. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Loved the quiet

We really enjoy our stay in the Villa. The view was spectacular and loved having private pool. The villa was very clean and Constance does a fantastic job during our stay. Only complaint was the bed was uncomfortable and needed a new mattress and the Villa needed an update. We will stay there again.

Great place

This villa was everything we wanted for our stay on the island. Spent many hours at the pool with great ocean views. We would definitely stay here again. Also, it was very easy to communicate with the host, which was very helpful since our travel to the island was delayed by a day.

Serenity at Vera Bella

Great location, beautiful villa, well stocked. Outside terrace was gorgeous and waking up and having breakfast with the waves crashing and ending the evening outside in the breathtaking pool with Happy Hour watching the amazing sunsets was Priceless! A turn key oasis. Definitely a must book.

Paradise on the rocks!

We loved our stay at Villa Sera Bella! Great views of the ocean right from your private pool and deck. The pool was so much fun to relax in after a long day at the beach. So close to nightlife and restaurants. The villa grounds are beautifully landscaped. Very safe neighborhood and surrounding area. We can't wait to return next year!

Great Stay

This was our first time staying on the Dutch side and will not be our last, The villa was even better than we had imagined, even though we saw all of the listed photos. It was very quiet except for the crashing waves pretty much 24/7 and we never got tired of hearing them and the wonderful view from the back patio and pool. We will definitely be returning.

Simply Amazing!

This villa is exactly as pictured. It is clean, tastefully decorated and is stocked with everything you need. The owner was extremely quick to respond to any questions I had. Beautiful location and fabulous ocean views! We travel to a different location/island every April and St.Martin and this particular accommodation is on the “repeat” list.

AMAZING VIEWS!!!!!!!

Probably one of the most stunning ocean views you will ever have. If this property is available BOOK IT! Every unobstructed sun set was spectacular and different every night. Being on the back patio and pool area you feel as if your are part of the ocean!!! We have been traveling for two months and this will be my most memorable and romantic place we have stayed. Our host Doug was incredible to deal with, very clear, professional and a gentlemen! Leanne and I will be back:)

Beyond our Dreams

We really enjoyed our stay here. It meet or exceeded our expectations what the pictures showed. Enjoyed a lot of time out on the deck before and after our beach trips. Enjoyed time in the pool watching the sailboats and planes. Very well kept, and Constance did a really nice job keeping it clean and taking care of any needs we had. There are a lot of nice beaches within a short drive, and too many nice restaurants to get to all of them. We enjoyed everyone we went to. If you stay, you need to go to the Bamboo House Restaurant for a sunset dinner. It was awesome. We stayed for two weeks, and wish it was three. We are looking forward to going back next year.

Great Vacation at Pelican Cove!

Beautiful and secluded location above the beach. Played in the pool multiple times a day because it looked right into the ocean. The villa was stocked with everything we needed and our host was a very nice and communicative guy. 5 Stars!

Teleurstellende ervaring

Na alle mooie reviews hadden we hoge verwachtingen. We hadden behoefte aan een ontspannen week voordat we zouden gaan werken. Helaas hadden wij een teleurstellende ervaring. Bij aankomst was er niemand en het kastje met deurcode, waar de sleutel achter zat, werkte niet. Uiteindelijk kwam er iemand met een schroevendraaier, zodat we naar binnen konden. Het uitzicht en het zwembad zijn absoluut fantastisch! Daar de dag af te sluiten met een glas wijn bij de ondergaande zon is heel bijzonder. Zoals ook al met de eigenaar besproken was het huis echter slecht onderhouden en ronduit vies, met de toiletten als dieptepunt. De stroom valt in deze regio meerdere uren per dag uit en een generator is er niet. Heel lastig als je wilt werken, kookt of de was doet. Doug heeft steeds heel vriendelijk gereageerd op onze klachten en foto's maar na 4 dagen zij we toch maar vertrokken. We hopen dat dit een eenmalige misser was en dat veel mensen na ons wel van de prachtige locatie kunnen genieten in een schoon huis.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at Sera Bella! The host was very responsive with communication. Our original flight was cancelled the night before we were supposed to leave and Doug worked with us to change our dates of stay based on our new flight schedule. He even made a personal phone call to me to discuss this. I was very appreciative of that and it helped calm my nerves! The villa itself was very nice and had everything that we needed. We loved being right on the water. We watched boats and cruise ships go by. We loved having the private pool which we used every evening. We loved hearing and watching the waves crash on the rocks down below. We ate breakfast every morning out on the back porch. We did have a very minor issue in the villa which was resolved very quickly. The location was perfect! There are many restaurants nearby. The location is very central to all over the island. We felt very safe here and there is a gated entrance at night. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this villa to others.

Best place to stay in St Martin!

Serra Bella at Pelican Cove was a wonderful place to stay! It was centrally located which made it convenient for going to dinner, enjoyed the beaches that were close and getting food/ drinks at the market. The owner was very easy to work with and answered emails quickly to answer questions we had. The villa was clean (thanks to Constance) and was even more beautiful than the pictures. Expect to never want to leave!

Our SXM vacation

What a great location for a vacation. Perfect ocean view in your own private pool, loved it and an owner that was very responsive to our issues. The villa was just as we had hoped from the pictures and description. Had a few bumps along the way. Due to Hurricane Irma the unit 3 doors down is still under massive renovations inside and out...eyesore, this caused our pool to be constantly on the receiving end of construction materials set adrift in the wind. The unit next door was undergoing a beautificaton (remodel) and they jackhammer/rotohammer through 3 layers of tile and they started rather early and worked almost all the days were there (except holidays). Had problems with the television service and the pool maintenance, but Doug handled it quickly. Constance, our maid was a dream.

Spectacular View

Very clean and well kept. Best part was your own private pool. Little hot on the deck in mid afternoon but hey...it’s not snow or ice!! Be careful when opening cabinets in the kitchen as the ceiling fan (if on) will hit the blades. Doug was very responsive. Great experience!!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Nichols

Host profile image
After being annual renters of this Villa, my wife and I were given the opportunity to purchase from the wonderful previous owners (Janet and Don). Of course, we could not pass up the chance. We have vacationed all over the Caribbean (and to some extent, the world), and had made a point to come back every year to "our home away from home." Our hope is to provide the same experience with our guests that we have grown accustomed to.

Why they chose this property

Pelican Cove is a private gated community with 17 villas at the tip of Pelian Key Estate. Our villa is one of 10 villas located directly on the ocean. Beautiful sunsets, yachts galore, sunshine and a private pool. What more can I say?

What makes this property unique

The view of cruise ships sailing by while the sun sets is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see.
