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. The villa also is equipped with a big generator and automatic switchover.

The Great Room has a gorgeous down island view framed by wall-to-wall sliding/screened doors, AC and opens to a wraparound veranda, 9-foot wide above the ocean and 14-foot wide veranda above the pool, both connected to 15'x15' grand lanai. Cypress tongue-in-groove ceiling with large white wood beams frame the vaulted ceiling.

Expansive kitchen adjoins the Great Room with travertine countertops and custom built Cherry wood cabinets. Built-in appliances in kitchen are all top of the line GE products which include a wine refrigerator, double ovens and trash compactor, and a 4-burner gas stove top.

Enjoy the unique large outdoor living space of Joie De Vivre with spacious decks for dining or poolside, and verandas and a grand lanai that are shaded and afford postcard views of ocean and islands.
