About this property

Happy Place. SolVillasUSVI

HAPPY PLACE's position, high up on the rocks, commands your incredible Panorama with great ocean breezes and with the entrance to the National Park and Cruz Bay's restaurants & shopping all nearby, you will love, love, the locations. Attached to a private villa, a personal parking area at your exclusive entryway, on their own level and your very private Panorama balcony, all work together to create the island home that is yours all alone.
COME! ENJOY! Let it be Your "HAPPY PLACE" in paradise.

The open floor plan boasts dining and living areas with large ceiling fans and a full service kitchen with gas range, microwave, fridge, coffeemaker & toaster, new, custom-made cabinets holding an array of pots, pans, dishes, utensils, basic spices and more, to facilitate cooking. Enjoy internet, WI-FI, cable, "smart" TV, and a very private balcony with BBQ & furniture all overlooking your Panorama View. The master suite boasts a quiet A/C, a queen size, Tempurpedic, bed; en-suite bathroom with dual vanity sinks, a walk in glass enclosed shower, separate commode room for privacy, built in full capacity washer and dryer and a safe for your valuables storage.
To top it off, HAPPY PLACE, in 2019 invested in the "TESLA POWERWALL" Solar System, creating clean, renewable, power from the sun, which virtually eliminates the frustration of the island's common power outages. This alternative to fossil fuels benefits our environment, lessening our carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gases.
Our contribution toward a favorable impact on the environment.

HAPPY PLACE is exclusively yours, from your personal parking area off of the main drive to the master suite, kitchen, dining and living rooms and your private patio.

We will contact you before your travel to coordinate a meeting upon your arrival. We can help with your rental car if needed Lead you to the house and give you an indoctrination at Happy Place. We are always available should any problem arise during your stay.

HAPPY PLACE IS Less than a mile from Cruz Bay where you can catch ferries to other islands, enjoy some great restaurants and bars, markets for food and necessities shopping, mail services, nail salons, coffee and cappuccino stand, and more. Other beaches and restaurants on the island are convenient as well since St. John is only about 13 miles long.

We recommend renting a car for your entire stay on St. John. The island is two-thirds national park. There are 35 beaches, countless trails and vistas to explore. The public transportation being very limited, your visit to paradise will be greatly enhanced with the freedom to explore our beautiful island, that is afforded by having your own car. Public parking is free throughout the island and at sites in the park. In Cruz Bay, free parking and ample pay parking, at a nominal rate, is always available.


Beach chairs, towels, ice chest are included.

The Happy Place was wonderful. It was clean, well stocked, and had a beautiful view. Although it is up in the hills, getting there was not difficult after we were shown the way. We were met at Cruze Bay upon arrival. One evening there was a road closure at the road on our familiar route. We called Dennis and he navigated us home. The bed was comfortable, and the TV worked well. We watched a Kansas University basketball game and the winter olympics. Hopefully we can return someday.

The host was very welcoming. He met us at our jeep rental facility and we followed him to Happy Place. He showed us around and explained how everything worked and where it was. The amenities are excellent and we had everything we needed. But the most amazing aspect of being at Happy Place is the view! It is breathtaking. Well worth the harrowing drive to it. You definitely need a vehicle if you choose this amazing place to stay. I would 100% stay there again.

Happy Place

This was our 2nd trip to STJ but our 1st time staying in Cruz Bay. Happy Place is located in a perfect location, easy access to the all that Cruz Bay offers as well as being removed from the noise and " traffic". The bed was comfortable and the unit had everything we needed. Henry, the property manager, met us at our Jeep rental location so that we could follow him to the property. Overall a great place to stay!

Wonderful Place to Stay!

We've made several trips to St. John and this was by far one of the nicest places we have stayed. Everything was clean and in working order. We were greeted at the dock by Henry who was very helpful and knowledgeable on all aspects of Happy Place and even gave us a few tips on some great snorkeling spots on the island. We will definitely try to stay at Happy Place on a return trip!
