Make Your Vacation a Dream Come True at Villa Joie de Vivre!

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.

Cypress tongue-in-groove ceiling with large white wood beams frame the vaulted ceiling.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!!

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!

Just Magical

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)

Great Stay and Beautiful Home and Views

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.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Katherine Shegrud

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
We have always been St Thomas enthusiasts! We moved from Northern Virginia where we had lived for 15 years, and had lived in the Bay Area of California and Puerto Rico previously. We wanted a peaceful, private and ocean view setting for our villa, and Joie De Vivre is perfect for indoor and outdoor living that provides us with the exceptionally serene and exquisite ocean viewing tapestry. We completed construction and finishing of Villa Joie De Vivre in 2014, and are the original owners.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

You will wake in the morning and bring your coffee to our grand lanai to join the sweet air from the fresh ocean breeze, Caribbean warmth and the many types of birds flying or singing within view. The usual sounds from you and your party will be silence at the natural beauty and everchanging seascape, and laughter as you recount yesterday's events and plan to do more today.

We looked at lots all over St. Thomas and on both sides of the Peterborg peninsula, and fell in love with the ocean and down island view, fresh ocean breeze and tranquil setting of Joie De Vivre. We could not have picked a better place to live or to vacation. We also enjoy swimming, paddle boarding or just talking while using noodles in the calm, clear ocean water. Magen's Bay is just a one mile drive from our villa. The crystal clear blue water is amazing, and most times we are in the water, brown pelicans dive nearby to catch little minnows and we usually see a leatherback turtle or two swimming just 20-30 feet away.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Every day we are home we feel caressed by the quiet and peaceful setting -- gentle waves washing up against the coastline below us, lush tropical plants and palms that provide bountiful color and sway in the breeze, and a fabulous 'one in a million' down island view -- all soothing to the soul. We rest and play here like no other place on earth. The fresh, soft air that flows to us from the ocean will help us live until we are 110, it is virgin air! We also like the feel and friendliness of a small community and Sydney's Fancy and St. Thomas are just that. We are just a few miles drive to the ferries that go to St. John, the BVIs and to Water Island, all amazing islands and great day trips. We have three great kids and three grandkids, and the trips they and their families take down here are wonderful and memory makers. They can't wait for their next trip to ' their villa' :-)
