About Glenn

Glenn and Kathryn are married and have three grown children. We are business owners and live in Blooming Grove, New York. We love to travel and enjoy hiking and snorkeling. We enjoy spending time with friends and family and always love meeting new people.

Glenn purchased this condo in 2008
Why Glenn chose Cruz Bay

We discovered St. John while on a Caribbean cruise to St. Thomas and fell in love with the beauty and charm that is inherent to St. John. It's great for us with mountains and hiking trails and water and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The people of St. John are friendly and welcoming.

What makes this condo unique

Grande Bay is a short walking distance to town, where you'll find many restaurants and shops as well as the ferry dock and taxis. You can stay at Grande Bay and enjoy the pool or venture out and explore the many beaches the island offers. There is an underground parking garage and a security officer always on duty. The fully equipped fitness center is on site and overlooks Cruz Bay beach and harbor.

Paradise again and again!

Submitted: May 15, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
This is our third time staying at this beautiful condo. Glenn and Kathy have done an amazing job at sharing their piece of paradise. You literally only have to bring your bathing suits, cover ups and flip flops. It is so generous of them to provide beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear and coolers. The gourmet kitchen along with the electric grill means you can enjoy a meal at home while admiring the beautiful view. The condo is within walking distance to town, however a car is definitely recommended to tour the island and get to any beach you want. Renting a car is less expensive then hopping on the public "bula buses". The pictures of the condo are accurate, however it is better in person!
Definitely eat at Rhumb Lines - a little tricky to find as it is behind the convenient mart in town! They have swings at the bar and the best food! The Lime Inn is excellent for lunch. The Dolphin Market has a great selection of food and wines.
The condo association has different complimentary events for people staying - we went to a cocktail hour with food and a complimentary Sunday Brunch! There is fresh coffee, lattes, and pastries in the clubhouse each morning.
We can't wait until our next trip back to Southern Serenity. Thank you Glenn and Kathy!!

Paradise on Cruz Bay!

My wife and I spent a week at Southern Serenity, owned by Kathy and Glenn. When we arrived we sat outside on the deck with amazing views of not only St John, but St Thomas too. We watched boats come and go on Cruz bay, and they vary from sailboats to small cruise ships. The acomodations are clean and well stocked. They even had beach chairs and snorkel equipment for our use. The owners left helpful tips on where to eat, and beaches to visit. The pictures in the listing are accurate, but much more vivid when you see the area in person.

There's a beautiful granite kitchen with a breakfast area. Two full bathrooms, and three bedrooms. Each room has it's own TV and there is internet service as well as a house phone so you are never far if you need to check into work or with family. Large spacious dining room and living room with spectacular views. Being on the third floor gives you unobstructed views of not only Cruz bay but the pool and hot tub, and the surrounding area.

I would highly recommend staying at Southern Serenity, call the owners today because it gets booked fast. This was our third vacation to St John, this time was to run the annual "8 Tuff Miles". It was a great vacation and we look forward to going back next year. Thank you for your hospitality and for the use of your condo.

Amazing vacation I think the best ever!!!!

Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed staying at Southern Serenity. We were in St. John for 10 days and would have loved to stay longer. We were greeted at the dock by a lovely couple (sorry name escapes me) and they took us to our condo. Showed everything in the condo and went over everything we needed to know about St. John. This condo has everything. Everytime that we thought something wouldn't be in there that we needed we were blown away it was there. We were lucky enough to meet Glenn and Kathy. Such nice people. There were 6 of us staying at the condo my husband and I, (52) son (24) fiance (22) daughter and boyfriend (22). It was perfect staying in Cruz Bay. Walked to all the great restaurants and the kids could hang out and go to the different bars in town and we would not be worried about them getting home. It was the absolutely perfect location. Our family will not hesitate to go back and rent from Glenn and Kathy. Thanks for the wonderful vacation.

The most amazing time.

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
We had the most amazing time at Grand Bay Southern Serenity this year. It was plenty of room for our three children, my husband and I and my mother. The place exceeded our expectations. The first thing that came to my attention was the incredible view of Cruz Bay. The morning we set outside on the balcony with granite top and had our cup of coffee while overlooking Caribbean turquoise waters, we knew we are in paradise. It was important to us that the place was spotless clean with very well equipped kitchen! It was a walking distance to all of the local shops and restaurants. If you wanted to use a car to explore the island, we greatly appreciated having our own parking spot at the garage. It was very nice for Glenn and Kathy to provide comfortable beach chairs and coolers as well! I think there is the reason why this place is called serenity; it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
We have already booked our trip with Glenn and Kathy for the next year!
