COUPLES RETREAT, HUGE OCEAN VIEWS, FREE KAYAKS & PADDLE BOARDS

Joy of Life Villa will make you realize how good life is here, overlooking the US and British Virgin Islands, coral reefs and turquoise seas with 180 degree views. This solid stone and masonry home well appointed and surrounded by verdant forest and unsurpassed views. We are fully solar powered, so no power outages! All water is filtered rain water, without chemicals, making your hair and skin as soft as our fresh linens. This villa has a premium memory foam king bed, 1200 sq. foot deck accessible from all rooms, full kitchen, large luxury bathroom with local stone and hardwood features, indoor AND outdoor showers, air conditioning in bedroom, free WiFi, two TV's with Netflix (only) access, beach chairs/towels/snorkel gear, a large gas grill and glass bottom kayaks & paddle boards waiting for you at the Hansen Bay Beach, where you can paddle to a gourmet taco boat or beautiful coral reefs! Perfect for couples or honeymooners, and also has a sofa bed. Located in Coral Bay, 2 minutes to restaurants and 15 minutes to major beaches on North Shore, 10 to Salt Pond Bay. Concierge service always complimentary; we help you find excursions and recommend dining and activity customized for YOU.
A standard rental Jeep with 4WD is required for our VERY STEEP hill in case of rain, and for the mountainous terrain of St. John (most local rentals are Jeeps). We advise renting Jeeps on St. John rather than on St. Thomas due to unreliable car barge schedules. You can take the "people ferry" over on the hour.
This rental and all amenities are on the entire main level of Joy of Life Villa and your privacy is paramount.
We rent to mature couples seeking a tranquil, comfortable and romantic getaway.
