About this villa rental
Built in 2014. Free Wifi thru-out villa, private pool, pool deck, grand lanai and verandas. Beautiful new built-in BBQ unit and countertops. When jyou arrive at Villa Joie De Vivre, you will experience a real “joy of living” that rejuvenates your senses and well-being. Drink it all in - the expansive down island views, deep blue Atlantic Ocean hues, the sound of waves washing up against our Peterborg peninsula, or breathing in the sweet, soft and virgin ocean air - you will truly feel at home. A typical morning will find you sipping coffee out on the grand lanai in shade and cool comfort with summer sun heat only a few feet away. You will smile and relax a lot as you view sensational island and ocean vistas of unique panoramic beauty. You may pleasantly observe the total absence of passing cars or traffic noise while relaxing to sounds of lazy ocean movements, fresh breezes and the brown pelicans, native parrots, morning doves, hummingbirds and other sea birds that frequently fly close by your treasured perch. Later, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool and sunbathe on a lounge chair on the large pool deck. Please enjoy our video to see and feel the excitement and serenity of your next Caribbean vacation (To view video select 24th/last photo near top of listing, then click right arrow halfway up 24th photo to view 25th photo/video).
Villa Joie de Vivre is framed by the Atlantic Ocean, exquisite and lush tropical plants, tree and fauna, and ancient bolder formations that make this beautiful and serene environment a must for you to experience. If you enjoy the full array of colors and mother nature, you are in tropical heaven with native Chinese Fan palms, flamenco and tropical plants, and extensive landscaping with Coconut and Sylvestrius palm trees, hundreds of bougainvillea plants in five different colors, vibrant allamanda, plumeria, ixora flowers, and a spectacular flowering Flamboyant tree.
The villa has a total of four large, air-conditioned rooms, each with a ceiling fan. Three bedrooms have an en suite bathroom, king-size bed and ceiling fan. The fourth bedroom has a ceiling fan with two extra-long twin beds that seamlessly convert to a king. Spectacular island and ocean views abound in each room.

We chose this beautiful home for it's ability to comfortably accommodate 7 of us for a homecoming/family reunion and it was perfect. Everything was clean and well stocked, beds comfortable and the pool refreshing. The host is amazing, staying in contact and answering all my questions. You can't go wrong with this home for your STT trip, don't hesitate to book.

The photos just don’t do this property justice, it is simply breathtaking! The house is large and open and immaculately kept. The communication from the owner was fantastic from booking through our stay. My family of four had an amazing trip to St. Thomas with this property being the perfect home base for multiple adventures in the islands. The neighborhood is beautiful, safe, well kept, and in an ideal location! We will be coming back again, 5 stars!!

Fantastic Villa! Fantastic owners! Everything you expect, all where you expect it to be. Very communicative and attentive to our needs. Wonderful sunrises and views. Villa is great for entertaining and furnishings that accommodated a group of 8. Everything you would want or need for cooking, going to the beach or relaxing at the pool. Safe, secure and very private gated community.

Our stay was pure perfection! We were impressed with everything the house had to offer. From the amazing pool, the beautiful views, and the comfortable beds. The island had a power outage and we were fortunate to have a working home generator and solar panels. In addition, Katherine is amazing! She checked in every day and was so helpful. If you are looking for an amazing place to stay…..look no further! We hope to come back again!

We had an amazing week at Joie de Vivre. Katherine and Steve are absolutely amazing hosts. Their home is gorgeous and it was the perfect place to celebrate Christmas and an anniversary. The location is spectacular! The home has everything you need and more. Katherine's communication is immediate and incredibly informative. We loved everything about our stay. It gets 10 stars from our family! We would most definitely stay here again. Thank you, Katherine and Steve!

We are going home today after an amazing 9 day stay at Villa Joie de Vivre. To say that this is a luxurious villa would be an understatement. The villa has a million dollar view of the Caribbean that took our breath away every time we walked out on the lanai. The owner Katherine was so accommodating. We texted each other almost daily, many times just to tell her how much fun we were having. The villa is equipped with absolutely everything you will need to grill, go to the beach, to watch movies, play games, etc. Our entire family would give this property 5 stars without any hesitation. We would love the opportunity to stay here again. Dave & Colleen

The week at this villa was even better than the pictures. Our family of 5 with 3 teenagers loved the space, the amazing views, Caribbean breeze on deck, pool after beach. R&R! Great location up road from gorgeous Magen’s beach, perfectly situated. We’ll be back!!
10.0 / 10.0
This property is phenomenal and Katherine our host went above and beyond to make sure everything was up to par. The property itself sat in a gated community where you always felt safe. We had all the amenities we could possibly ever need- often felt like I was at home. In addition, you had amazing views of Megan’s bay and the BVIs. Was close to many pristine beaches and Red Hook where you could catch the ferry over to St. John’s. In the future my family and myself would love to stay at Villa Joie de Vivre again and we would recommend it to anyone traveling to St. Thomas. Thank you Katherine for sharing your lovely home with my family!!

I can't say enough about this house and owner! The location is amazing and the house had everything you could ever want..from a well stocked kitchen to everything you need for your beach adventure. The views were amazing. We spent every evening out on the porch watching the moon illuminate the water and the sunrise every morning rising over Tortola in the distance. We have stayed in many VRBOs, but this is by far the best we have ever stayed in. The owner was very helpful and communicated with us prior to our arrival and even as we were on our way back home. We hope to be back soon!

Our stay in St Thomas at the Villa Joie de Vivre was an exquisite experience! Katherine was a lovely host from beginning to end. She helped us with our planning, gave us terrific recommendations and even checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. We traveled with 3 couples for a week long stay in St Thomas. We all felt like we hit the VRBO jackpot! We have all stayed in other tropical VRBOs and this home was by far the best. Thank you so much Katherine! We can’t say enough about the Villa … the house was not only beautiful but very comfortable, well-appointed and the views are out of this world. We found the location to be perfect, so close to the gorgeous Magen’s Bay, and convenient to the other beaches we visited … Hull Bay, Lindquist Beach, Saphire Beach and the Red Hook area.
Some of our trip highlights:
-We loved being at the Villa … with the amazing sunrises, coffee and cocktails on the Lanai, the incredible views, Sunbathing and Moonlight bathing on the pool deck, neighborhood walks, cooking in for many meals. It just doesn’t get any better than this. Just Paradise!
- We treated ourselves to the exquisite culinary delights of the private chef, Josh Fleagle, for two occasions (a drop off dinner and dinner prepared in home for us).
-Beautiful beach days at Magen’s Bay … spacious, beautiful beach w/ lovely shady spots… great swimming (saw some turtles!) It never felt crowded.
-Adventure to Lindquist Beach, another gorgeous beach, different vibe than Magen’s Bay, but we loved it. Loved the views of the islands from the beach. Very few people here, nice facilities, good snorkeling and great shade trees.
-Hangin at Hull Bay for yet another fun beach day w/ a surfer vibe (including surfers). We had fun hopping between the beach and the very cute and clean beach bar area, Hideaway (loved the swings and dining area and the food from the Shack – great fish tacos) Beach is rocky in most spots so you have to be careful swimming here.
-Day trip to St John w/ snorkeling at Francis Bay. We had the best snorkeling here!
-We rented a car and taxied some. Thanks to Katherine’s recommendation for Samuel Dependable Services (very professional, friendly and prompt taxi service)

We were a group of three couples and this was our first trip to St. Thomas, having stayed in St. Croix last year. We had a wonderful stay at Villa Joie de Vivre February 11-18, 2023. The views and sounds of the waves from the lanai and verandas of the home are absolutely breathtaking. The home is just a quick drive to Magen's Bay Beach. There are multiple beach chairs, coolers, pool towels, etc in the home for a day at the beach! The home was very clean and well supplied for anything you might need. The three main bedrooms are all e-suites and quite comfortable. Each bedroom has air conditioning but most nights, some of us chose to open the windows instead and listen to the waves crashing throughout the night. We have stayed at other VRBO properties and the owner, Katherine, has been one of the most engaged and communicative home owners. She offered us suggestions on things to do, helpful hints, and was quick to respond to any questions prior to our trip and checking in with via text during our stay. Katherine even provided us with the cruise ship docking schedule, offering us advice on where to go and where to avoid when the ships were docked. You can tell this is Katherine and Steve's home and it is well taken care of! We would highly recommend this home and you will love working with Katherine. We also want to thank Steve for his service-it is greatly appreciated. Thank you Katherine and Steve for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. A great time was had by our group.

Amazing Trip to Paradise
We had an absolutely wonderful trip to this villa, and would highly recommend it to a big group or family. First, the location is amazing. The views from the lanai are unbeatable and the pictures on the listing truly don’t do it justice. It is also only a 5 minute drive to Magen’s Bay, which was by far our favorite beach on the island (and even better than beaches on St. John’s). Second, the property owner (Katherine) was amazing. She was super communicative ahead of the trip and made our stay extra special. She had a bottle of Prosecco and kids’ mineral sunscreen waiting for us upon arrival. She also provided a pack n’ play, highchair, and other essentials for our baby, which made it a lot easier traveling from Ohio. Lastly, we would highly recommend getting a private chef. We used William Corgan and he was truly exceptional. He curated a 5-star menu for our group and used a lot of fresh ingredients that he grew on his farm. It was one of the highlights of our entire stay, and Katherine helped us get in contact with him directly. There really were no negatives to our entire experience and we will definitely be back in the future. The only minor inconvenience was that there were no window treatments (shades or blinds) on 3 of the 4 bedrooms. So that made it a bit difficult for our little travelers, who woke up with the sun! We didn’t mind much though, because the views and sunrise were spectacular.

Incredible Home
Our group has been staying in VRBO properties since 2012, and this has been our favorite home. This house is HUGE, has great amenities, and spectacular views. The owners of this home go the extra mile to keep everything up to date and the home and grounds are very well cared-for. You can't go wrong with this property.

Truly a dream home in a dream location!!
This home is beyond amazing…the views are stunning, the location perfect, it is meticulously maintained, well-appointed with everything you could possibly need, and extremely clean. We were a party of 6 adults and found the floor plan to be ideal to allow for plenty of lounging and dining space both inside and out. The 3 main bedrooms are all master en-suites and all have the same gorgeous ocean views. We were all amazed at how quiet the house is between rooms and floors, which accommodated various sleeping schedules beautifully. Brit answered our messages promptly and is a great source of information when needed. This was our 5th trip to St Thomas and this was, by far, our most favorite property. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and we can’t wait to return and stay here again!

Wonderful
Our visit to St. Thomas was made all the more special by staying at this beautiful villa. The gated community is very impressive.
The views from this villa are breathtakingly spectacular.
The view of the BVI at night, the view of Megan’s Bay on the road to the villa and the close proximity to Megan’s Bay is wonderful.
Our family spent two full days at Megan’s Bay.
Would love to return to this beautiful property someday.

All I can say is WOW!!!
This property is amazing! The photos online are very representative of the villa, although when you arrive, it seems so much more stunning. The views are incredible; the property is well appointed and very clean. We were there 10 nights and made dinner at the villa 8 nights. The kitchen amenities are terrific - they have thought of pretty much any and everything you might need. There are also ample supplies of beach, snorkeling, and swimming items. Our favorite part was spending time on the veranda having coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. I find it hard to believe we could have found a better place to stay. Kudos to the owners. The property manager is also very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Great holiday getaway
Loved the home, it had a killer view and the location was perfect. We quickly settled into a great routine, early morning walks, breakfast, pool time, lunch, beach time, happy hour, dinner, rest repeat. The kitchen had everything we needed to make all of our meals at home to stay safe and by the end of our week felt like we really were at home11 Turned out to be the perfect getaway during a difficult year. We always felt safe on the island. A big shout out to Brit and Zach who came to our rescue when we lost power and able to get the generator up and running without a hitch!!

Utterly Amazing!
This home is everything you hope it will be. Best location on the island. Watching the sunrise each morning and the double rainbow the day we left are moments we will never forget. Brit was so helpful whenever things came up. Best kitchen I've seen in the Caribbean--we had Grocery Goddess stock the house before we arrived and ate most meals in-- very comfortably. We recommend Lindquist beach (--in addition to the obvious choice nearby Magen's)! We also took a day trip with Ocean (yes, that's his name-he was born on the boat) and we highly recommend him and loved listening to his stories. One of our favorite places we've stayed--a much needed place of peace far from the craziness of 2020.

This home is absolutely amazing! I would sit on that balcony forever if I could figure out how. The home is well equipped for your need and the check in process was easy and informative.

One of the top vacations of my life. The house was wonderful. The views are better than you expect. You can sit on the porch for hours. Britt was fantastic. She was so helpful with our stay. Loved the house it was perfect for a large family. Worth every penny. Nice to have Magens bay around the corner!! Oh a coffee shop close by. Perfect 10 house!

We were two families who stayed there with our daughters doing remote schooling. The property itself is a gated community and is exactly as described in previous reviews; spacious with huge bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen, great architecture, beautiful landscaping. Every location in the house has an absolutely stunning panoramic view of the ocean and other islands. The house is also well stocked; it has everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation stay. There's nothing like to be able to remote school or work with a view like this. Even if you did manage to get bored of everything, they have a collection of about a hundred classic movie titles and books and games. We had a great time there, and Magen's beach (which was also very amazing) which is just five minutes away was often our getaway after school hours. Also our nearby favorites were Udder Delite (ice cream) and Old Stone Farmhouse (restaurant). Almost all attractions are about 20-25 minutes away at the most.Considerations: The pool is (as with most cliffside properties) on the smaller side - more for kids than adults. The wifi in the house was generally a bit problematic, however the internet connection was good enough to do simultaneous Google Meets / Zoom calls. Both Katherine and Brit were very responsive to our queries, and we were able to access the property easily and locate nearby grocery stores, restaurants and other amenities.One important thing in general about USVI that we did not realize until we got down there - they drive on the other (left) side of the road!

Considerations: The pool is (as with most cliffside properties) on the smaller side - more for kids than adults. The wifi in the house was generally a bit problematic, however the internet connection was good enough to do simultaneous Google Meets / Zoom calls.
Both Katherine and Brit were very responsive to our queries, and we were able to access the property easily and locate nearby grocery stores, restaurants and other amenities.
One important thing in general about USVI that we did not realize until we got down there - they drive on the other (left) side of the road!

Fantastic vacation and property!!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful our vacation was in St. Thomas. Brit was an excellent hostess and made our stay enjoyable and effortless. The views from the house are amazing and we spent all of our time outside - either relaxing on the patio or gazing out over the ocean from the pool. We were so sad to leave and cannot wait to come back again!!

An oasis
The property is more stunning in person than the photos. The outdoor living space is where you'll likely spend most of your time. Breathtaking views, refreshing breeze, the sound of the ocean below, outdoor dining, a private pool with gorgeous foliage on one end and view of ocean on the other...if you're looking for a serene escape in a private, secure, quiet location, this is it.
