My wife and I stayed at the Joy of Life Villa during Christmas week. We were looking for a relaxing and private stay. This villa was better than what we imagined! We woke up early for every sunrise with some fresh brewed coffee. This Villa had everything we needed including beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear, and a cooler which came in very handy. There's even a grill which we really enjoyed using. Karen was a great host and made sure we were settled and had everything we needed. We are so happy we found her villa and would definitely come back again next time. This rental has some of the best views of the nearby islands. Her whole property feels magical with all the palm trees and beautiful landscaping. We highly recommend this rental property. It was truly an incredible experience!

Wake up early. Make coffee. As the dawn begins, go down to the comfortable nook to recline as the sun breaks the horizon. Go up on the spacious deck that overlooks the gorgeous Coral Bay and enjoy breakfast. Decide which of the dozens of beaches within minutes of Joy of Life you will go to today for snorkeling,or relaxing. After a few hours in the sun, head back but be sure to stop on the way for a drink or dinner at one of the laid-back Caribbean themed joints that dot the area. Relax at home in the evening but be sure to sit out on the deck at night to catch the star show looking out out over the water. Enjoy the silence and be thankful you found this place.

Great stone patio and postcard view, amazing sunrise view, reflection sunsets, star gazing. Super clean property, was great having breakfast and dinners on the patio with the view.
Great location on St John's by Corral Bay, best snorkeling on the east end of St John's, beach, hiking, no crowds. Local food markets and restaurants, we did most of our cooking at the property, gas stove and external gas grill.
Snorkeling spots we enjoy, Brown Bay left side go around the point. North Haul over, Water Lemon Cay, and Yawzi point. Owner has kayaks on Hansen Bay Beach, that we used the double to paddle to Hurricane hole, started our snorkel from the beach right after Turner Point, was a moderate paddle, great snorkeling location.
Owner terrific. Cares for the property and guests.
Was my second time to St John's in the Corral Bay area, 2020 was the first. Not a fan of St. Thomas if you are thinking of heading to the USVI. 2-4 years, hoping to head back again.

My husband and I have just returned from two glorious weeks at the Joy of Life Villa. We absolutely loved the house and had such a wonderful relaxing time there. We were impressed with the quality and the thoughtful layout of the house and the views can't be beat. This was our third trip to St. John and Joy of Life Villa is, by far, the best place we've stayed.
We love to cook and the kitchen set-up works so well; all the appliances are high quality and work perfectly as does the outside grill. We've traveled to many islands and other places and have rented many villas and, in most cases, the kitchen has left something to be desired but not here. We only went out to dinner twice the entire time as the sunsets were too beautiful to miss and it was just so relaxing after a day at the beach to sit on the comfortable outside furniture watching the sunset and then head into the house to prepare dinner. And, if you're an early riser, the sunrises are pretty spectacular too.
Yes, we do recommend that you rent a 4x4 vehicle not only to be comfortable getting up and down the road to the villa but, overall, the island is pretty hilly and access to some of the best beaches is over some bumpy and rutted terrain.
Karen and Jeff, our hosts, were wonderful, thoughtful and caring making our stay even better. Thanks so much to both of you! We will be back and won't hesitate to let our friends know about the aptly named Joy of Life Villa!
