Cruz Views Location: Close to Cruz Bay, Away from the Crowds
Located approximately 160 feet above Cruz Bay, Cruz Views is a small condominium community surrounded by lush tropical foliage. The southwest-facing units are ideally positioned to capture beautiful Caribbean Sea views, warm sunshine, and some of St. John's memorable sunsets.

Serenita offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful hillside retreat with convenient access to the heart of Cruz Bay.

- Easy access to Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, boutiques, and shops
- Convenient proximity to the Cruz Bay passenger ferry terminal
