Beautiful stay

Excellent view only a couple minutes from Cruz Bay. The condo was clean and well provisioned. Definitely rent a jeep, as the road is steep.

Fully stocked!

This place was so great. It had everything we needed. Coolers, ice packs, snorkeling gear, shade tent, beach chairs, pool noodles, floats, sand toys. Everything we needed for the beach. A fully stocked kitchen! We used the blender and made our own Pina coladas. Will stay here again.

Awesome stay

We had a great time at the Gecko. Melissa and Tom were amazing hosts, helped us with anything we needed and had great suggestions for things to do and places to eat (Christmas Eve dinner @ Lovango Beach Club!). The condo was great - really nicely updated, comfortable, and clean. Even better than the pictures! And the views of the bay and St Thomas in the distance were great beginnings and endings to full days of adventure for the family. Would definitely stay again!

Incredible!

This place far surpassed our expectations. The pictures really don't do it justice. The property managers, Melissa and Tom, were so nice and helpful in everyway. We will definitely be coming back to Gecko at Serendip!!

Honeymoon Week

My Husband and I had an amazing time at Gecko @ Serendip. The pictures are spot on. The owner has thought of everything you could ever need and more. I've never stayed at a rental that had a enough quality knifes, pans, dishes, glasses, and every kitchen utensil one could ever need. It was so nice to have coolers, beach chairs and beach towels for our daily trips to the beach. You won't need anything! We would definitely stay at the Gecko again.
