The hosts were fantastic and the property as well as the view was amazing. This property is very near by Magen's Bay Beach which was our preferred beach. There were a couple small hiccups but the host was very quick to respond and help us out. The breeze made it feel perfect outside even on the hottest day. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting St. Thomas.

Amazing location. The home is perfect for 2 families. Our kids loved the pool and the adults loved the patio. Close by and easy to get to the beaches, Coral World and Red Hook. Equipped kitchen with all you need. I grilled streaks on the outdoor grill which everyone loved. Katherine was quick to respond to all questions and she was very help full. Will book here again.

Katherine was wonderful! So helpful and provided super fast responses. Five of us girls on this trip and not one complaint! Plenty of supplies (detergents, paper products, etc) and everything is clean. Super roomy and the VIEW is something I’ll never forget. Thank you, Katherine, for a Girls’ Trip that will never be forgotten.

Beautiful home with spectacular water views in an ideal location. Quiet and residential, safe and secure, and well equipped. Lots of room to spread out, generous proportions of rooms, and modern bathrooms and kitchen. Would return to this property. Owner was helpful and easy to communicate with. No issues or problems to deal with.

Wonderful Week in Paradise!

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!!

Homecoming

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.

Breathtaking!

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!!

Villa of Paradise

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!

Almost Heaven in STT

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.

Perfect house in paradise!

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!

Villa Joie de Vivre!

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!!

One Word: Amazing

The house was simply spectacular. The location and view were unbeatable. We were simply thrilled with our stay. Totally out of the control of this house/listing/owner - the roads in the USVI are NO JOKE. The drive to first arrive at the house was a bit of a nail biter, but Katherine went above and beyond to guide us and NOT rely on our apple iPhones. Wisely and thankfully so! Communication was consistent and thoughtful. If I could give ten stars, I would do so.

Stay at Joie de Vivre, St. Thomas

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

Christmas / New Years Holiday 2024/2025

We were amazed and in awe of the scenery at our VRBO rental from the moment we pulled our rental car into the driveway. It will take you breath away. So awesome!! Everything in other reviews we have seen says it all. Our host was available and within a call/text within minutes at any time of day. Zero complaints, except we didn't want to leave, LOL. We would love to go again. We rented a car for the week at Paradise rental as our host suggested and it was well worth it. Everyone in our group of 7 loved the house and the breathtaking scenery from the veranda. We made dinner at the house a few times and it was a snap to find everything we needed to cook our meals. 10/10 review, I could go 20 out of 10 but I guess you can't beat perfection. Thanks again to our hosts. We can't thank you enough for making our holiday a wonderful time.
