Gorgeous Beach front 2 bed 2.5 bath condo "Serenity by the Sea"
"Serenity by the Sea" is a lovely 1,360 square foot condo in the popular, gated community of Pelican Cove. This 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath end unit, which can comfortably sleep 6 people, offers stunning views of the Caribbean from every room. You are, literally, just steps away from the sea and, as you listen to the sound of the waves and feel the warm breeze off the water from the unit's two balconies, you will be delighted that you are here. On the main floor, the kitchen and living room are open concept. The updated kitchen is fully-appointed with a double-door refrigerator, range, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee bar. You can eat at the large kitchen counter, which has 4 stools, for a casual meal or dine at a table in the spacious living room. Through the living room sliding glass doors, you can relax on the balcony and enjoy the view of swaying palms and the beautiful Caribbean Sea. The main floor also provides an office with a full size murphy bed and a half bath. There are two ensuite bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom has a king size bed, ensuite bathroom, and a balcony to view the palm lined beach. The guest bedroom comes complete with a comfortable queen size bed and ensuite bathroom. The unit is equipped with linens, bath and beach towels, along with a washer and dryer. The unit features air-conditioning, wi-fi, and cable. Take a dip in the large swimming pool and enjoy the open-air hot tub. The grounds are always well maintained and you will enjoy the lush, tropical plants growing throughout the property. Since this unit is only 200 ft. from the white sand beach, it is stocked with a cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, and "noodles" for your use. If you just want to relax and not drive anywhere, The Palms resort is located right next door. It offers a great bar and restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, just steps away from the beach. They offer a delicious Sunday brunch, too. The Palms provides entertainment as well. There are endless options for recreation on St Croix. You can enjoy 3 national parks while you are here: Christiansted National Historic Site, where you can visit 7 historic buildings, and enjoy shopping and restaurants along the boardwalk; Buck Island Reef National Monument, where you can enjoy snorkeling, picnicking, and hiking; and Salt River National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, where you can kayak and explore archeological sites. Christiansted is just a 10 minute drive from "Serenity by the Sea", and there are several restaurants and grocery stores nearby for your convenience. If you have any need for assistance, there is an on-call property manager available to you 24/7 during your stay. We hope you enjoy all this beautiful island has to offer!

The Island is magical. The condo was extremely clean and well maintained. The views throughout the condo were simply stunning. The large porches to listen to and watch the rolling waves never got old. Thank you David for being a tremendous host.
The condo and location was wonderful. Condo equipped with everything we needed and only steps from the beach. Condo Manager and host were very helpful and made sure everything was perfect for us. We loved our stay and we looking to come back again!
Great location, incredible snorkeling right outside the door
Visited for 10 days over the Christmas and New Years Holiday with our 15 and 17 year old boys. The location was excellent. Very peaceful and quiet but close to all of the action. We saw sting rays, exotic fish, and an Octopus snorkeling just 20 yards from the Condo door. Incredible!
We’ve stayed many places on the beach/water and this was by far the most beautiful views we’ve ever experienced. The condo itself was very well decorated, well stocked and they provided so many nice extras (beach towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, etc.)
We loved it and can’t wait to go back!
Everything we needed for a week ! Property has beautiful view!! Plenty of beach extras to use. Quiet community for plenty of relaxation. Really appreciated the awesome guidebook in the condo!!
place was as described and was well stocked with things you may need during your stay. Property grounds were well kept and everyone we meet was nice. The views from the condo were great! Though the beach wasn't all that spectacular. Beach was a bit rocky and when the tide is out it's tough to swim right out front of the condo as the long reef is exposed, but there are plenty of close by beaches that are pure sand. Condo is located very close to town and attractions. Parking and going in and out of condo complex was easy. Owner has a lot of island info and directions for everything you may use in the condo. Place was very clean and check in was easy. Owner communicated well leading up to the stay and well we were there.
Liked the condo layout. Loved the upstairs bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. We spent one afternoon just sitting on the Main Bedroom balcony...what a view!! The Property Manager was very accommodating. The reason for the 3 on cleanliness was because our son dropped something that went under the bed...he wouldn't go there because it was pretty bad, so he left it. Otherwise everything was very clean...so cleaning crews just need to clean "under" things, too. The property is very nice, with the pool close by and a beach to walk. Had a great time!
The views are beautiful. Listening to the ocean waves come onto the beach at night is so peaceful. The house had everything we needed for a nice stay. On site property management brought us fresh eggs. We had an issue with a leak in the condo next / under us and folks were there to fix/repair right away.
We stayed at this condo from Sept 29 – Oct 7 2023 for 8 days. This was our 7th annual vacation in STX and our 3rd time at Pelican Cove. This is our first time at this condo and is by far our favorite condo yet. The view is one of the best on the island. We love the pool and hot tub here. We will be back in 2024. Everything about this condo is great. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need. We cooked on the grill on the patio every night.
Beaches - Rainbow - usually on of the calmest beaches and soft white sand. Sand Castle - usually calm water, some big rocks at the shore line, but easy to get past them. Lots of little fish near the shoreline for snorkeling for those who don't want to go out far. Cramer Park - this is the main locals beach and very busy on weekends, but during the week you have it all to yourselves. They were in the process of building pavilions and installing BBQ grills. We took our own disposable grill and cooked right at the beach. Chenay Bay - mostly calm water, can park your car right at the beach. This is a hidden treasure, you must get to it from a road off of east end road and drive down a dirt (and bumpy) road to get there, but it's worth the bumpy drive. Can also cook right at the beach there. Cane Bay - great for experience snorkelers but can be very choppy. Hiking from Point Udall down to Jack and Isaac’s beach is fun too if you’re up to the hike. Take lots of cold water, freeze some of the bottles ahead of time.
The only negative things were that the lockbox code had changed and was not communicated to us so we couldn't get into the condo immediately. And the dishwasher doesn't work. It obviously didn't work before we arrived and that wasn't communicated either. We cooked a lot and really wanted a dishwasher. It stank of sewage.
We didn't come straight from the airport and the address provided isn't the actual address so it took us on a bit of an adventure ... So GPS to Titan Gas and then follow the directions provided.
The grill on the balcony was great, and the kitchen had about anything you can ask for. People left stuff including liquor they didn't drink and we contributed to the stash. The beds were pretty comfortable and we usually struggle with them. This was 2 couples and we didn't find the smaller room uncomfortable. For outdoor seating the master terrace has the best furniture. The downstairs terrace only has the dining table.
Camp chairs are provided, not beach chairs. There is a huge cooler on wheels. AC was cold, but there are rolling blackouts and we lost power for several hours during a storm. Flashlights are provided and we just opened the windows and were thankful for a breeze.
Pool area was nice. Didn't swim at the beach but the view was great. Nice central location to explore the island in both directions. Good grocery stores nearby and minutes into C'sted.
Great location... corner unit on beach with immediate access and proximity to dining in boardwalk area! Will stay again when in St. Croix... property manager was very helpful/responsive!
Condo is about halfway down the island, perfect distance to get most anywhere. The views were amazing, the condo was stunning and comfortable and so well stocked.. getting there was a little strange as you go through a neighborhood, but the property is gated and we always felt safe. I have stayed in many vrvos and this was by far one of the best! Pictures. Do not do it justice. The balcony views alone are so amazing that we spent hours out there.

We loved staying at this condo! The views from our balcony were amazing! We loved going to the pool so nearby and our friend enjoyed snorkeling in front of the condo at the beach :-) We tried several different beaches, several different restaurants on the boardwalk and a sunset cruise:)
My family and I loved the location of this condo. It was great access to all the activities the island offers and was right on the water. I walked the beach every morning and evening. The patio was incredible spot to relax and drink coffee or wine, as well. I haven't relaxed this much in years.
Very nice end unit with fantastic views of the beach! The property was very clean overall. No garbage disposal was our only kitchen complaint. We look forward to returning!
Serenity by the Sea was stunning! The rooms were decorated with tropical pieces and art work. All the furniture was comfortable, and the beds in both bedrooms provided a good night’s sleep. Also, the air conditioning was so necessary. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. We spent much time on the balconies with a fantastic view of the water. However, the beach was rocky and you couldn’t swim in the water here, but the pool provided swimming and wasn’t crowded. The host was available to answer our questions with communication easy. We absolutely loved our stay at Serenity by the Sea.
Updated condo on the ocean. The view was amazing, perfect for morning coffee and evening happy hours. Kitchen had everything we needed for a week stay. Plenty of towels, and washer and dryer if needed. Not a great beach for swimming, we were told snorkeling is good. We enjoyed the pool daily, that was clean and relaxing. Location, while not close to anything specific, you are only 15-20 minutes from pretty much everything on the island, very centrally located.
This spot made it feel like we had our own private island! The balconies on this property were phenomenal. I stepped out of the master and watched the sunrise over the ocean every morning, and we ate all our meals on the downstairs balcony overlooking the palm trees and water. It felt so secluded--exactly what I was hoping for! And this condo has the best location on the property! It was clean, the A/Cs were wonderful, kitchen was stocked which made it so easy to make food. It really was a dream location for us. We didn't use the beach there for swimming, but rented a jeep and explored everyday. The centralized location of the property made it easy to get anywhere on the island in about 30 minutes. I really hope we get to come back here again! It was just my husband and me, but there was plenty of space if we bring our kids or share with other couples.
We just returned from our May 2023 stay at Serenity on the Sea. What a wonderful condo; one of the best VRBOs that I have stayed in -- up to date and very clean. Of course, the balconies and views are fantastic, but we also enjoyed the amenities in the condo -- some of them were just little touches like all of the hooks, closet shelves, and hangers in the second bedroom. I also appreciated all of the supplies available, such as laundry. Also liked all of the kitchenware - utensils, cookware, storage containers, dish towels, etc. They provided everything, and it sure was refreshing. The pool was great also; we used it quite a bit. Air conditioning, great. We didn't use the beach (even to sit out), and although we did walk over to the beach at the Palms (done easily by cutting across grass to gate and walking the pavement over), we didn't use that beach either. Easy drive to Christiansted, and only 5 miles to our favorite beach, Mermaid at the Buccaneer (due to the loungers for rent and free shade), where we went 3 different days. My 80-year-old mother really enjoyed the hand-painted murals and the decor throughout. Just very well done; exceeded expectations.
My husband and I loved this oceanfront unit. We have stayed in many vrbo rentals and this one is by far one of our favorites. Great location for quiet and relaxing vacation. We love to be able to see the ocean and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the waves lapping on shore. So relaxing to wake up to the sunrise and sit on either of the 2 balconies overlooking the water while drinking our morning coffee or tea. The unit was fantastic with many amenities - we appreciated having washer/dryer in unit. bedrooms are upstairs and there are ceiling fans and A/C units if needed. Most of the time you won't need it as there is a wonderful breeze. Condos are thru gated entrance so very safe. Well maintained grounds and pool. Unit very clean and well stocked. Communication with host excellent. Had some games and puzzles we enjoyed using while there. We really enjoyed some snorkeling right at the beach in front out by the reef. Close to many places to eat and short drive into Christiansted. One night we ate right next door at the Palms and watched the Fire dance show. Very good! Being centrally located, was easy drive to either end of the island. Recommend some snorkeling on west end as well as east end hiking at Point Udall. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!
