Know Before You Go...
Located in Terres Basses, Joie de Vivre is one of St. Martin’s finest homes. It sits on over 4 acres and comes with direct access to the beach via a private path, and privacy is virtually guaranteed here. The home itself is a unique 3-level design that is best suited for couples, groups of friends, or families with older children. There are 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, a huge kitchen, living area, and a patio overlooking the ocean and tropical plants. The villa’s pool is one of the largest on the island, and there are lots of comfortable chaises surrounding it for sunbathing and relaxing.

This great villa, situated on a 4.4-acre beachfront plot, not only has direct access to Baie Rouge Beach, but also enjoys good views of the coastline and the island of Anguilla. Built on 3 levels, Joie De Vivre has 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths, an outside living area giving views over Baie Rouge, and a large swimming pool and gazebo.
Bedrooms all have king-size beds, air-conditioning, DVD, ceiling fans, and TV.
Joie de Vivre has a housekeeper and caretaker that live in the gate house just far enough away to insure maximum privacy, but close enough to assist the renter should the need arise. There is a large gazebo at one end of the pool (one of the largest private pools on the island) that is perfect for enjoying an afternoon cocktail. Down from the patio and pool area, a staircase leads to a short private path to Baie Rouge Beach, one of St. Martin’s finest.
With an open floor plan, whether you are in the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, or the living room, you have a view of the water as well as the British Island of Anquilla. The entire villa has been comfortably furnished and every modern convenience has been thought of, including satellite TV, sound system throughout, separate phone and fax lines, and an intercom to the housekeeper’s cottage and privacy gate.

A Perfect Vacation
Joie de Vivre, St. Martin villa review
We have rented villas throughout the Caribbean and Central America, and Joie de Vivre is at the top of the list. The location is great. We had the beach area in front of the villa completely to ourselves. The entire beach is very uncrowded with only some limited activity near the public entrance to the far right end of the beach. The villa supplies beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels. It is an easy walk from the beach to the villa. The villa itself is immaculate and very spacious. The three bedrooms are very large, comfortable, and have incredible views. The en suite bathrooms and closets are spacious as well. The kitchen is well appointed, with all needed cookware, dishware, and accessories. Between the pool area, pool gazebo, and upstairs porches, there are so many outdoor seating areas that the villa could comfortably accommodate dozens of guests. The villa grounds are well-kept, secured with fences and gates, and very private. There is convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. It is close enough to visit the more crowded beaches and tourist spots, but then quickly return to the tranquility and privacy of the villa. Best of all are Jennifer the housekeeper and Colin the groundskeeper. They are wonderful, friendly people and full of local knowledge.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jean, Lori and the WhereToStay team. They took care of every detail including airport greeter, airport transfers, car rental and delivery, groceries, and set up concierge services. Jean’s local knowledge and recommendations sets this company apart. Jean’s restaurant, shopping, and excursion recommendations were spot-on. Our concierge (Giovanni) was available at all hours and went out of his way to use his personal contacts to make reservations for us. Of special note is the villa reservation process. It was very nice to be able to speak to Jean and have her answer questions and confirm availability before paying for the villa, as opposed to other agencies that require a blind online credit card payment for a reservation without any initial personal interaction or human confirmation of availability.
