Happy Bay All Locations, St.maarten, Netherlands Antilles

Near the Caribbean's gourmet paradise - Grand Case - sits the exclusive, very private enclave of Mont Choisy, home to the stylish Happy Bay Villa. The home's elegant entrance, with lush tropical gardens and stunning native boulders, creates an inviting stage for this classic French Creole home dressed in soft yellows and trimmed with elegant dark wood details. 

Entering Happy Bay Villa, the stunning panoramic views dazzle with a brilliant sweep of tropical green mountains and endless blue sea and sky. Anguilla is on the horizon. Just below the deck, you see waves crashing on the beach. Surrounding the villa are colorful gardens filled with tropical flowers as well as papaya and banana trees. The blue endless heated pool connects the amazing view to the villa. The spacious horseshoe-shaped Ipe wood terrace is filled with outdoor dining and seating to enjoy the view and wonderful breezes. Little seating niches and a large covered gazebo offer quiet places to relax. 

The interior great room, with spaces for seating and dining, is fully air-conditioned or opens fully to the tropical breeze. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors bring in the view. Travertine floors run throughout the interiors. The recently renovated decor has an open and airy attitude in a mix of contemporary and exotic furnishings and accessories in teak woods and soft taupe and cream colors. The modern fully equipped kitchen, open to the view, is tastefully designed in glass tiles, stainless appliances, and grey with pops of color. A fully equipped gym with a bathroom is located on the lower garden level. 

Happy Bay Villa's four bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, are off the main salon and under one roof. Each has interior and exterior doors for access to the pool, a small office/workspace, and fabulous sea views. Three bedrooms are accessible from a large media room with a flat-screen TV, perfect for teenagers and kids to share this wing of the villa. The master bedroom, located on the opposite side of the villa, is its own private oasis. Private for some but still connected given all bedrooms are under the same roof and all accessible from the inside. Each of the villa's bathrooms are uniquely designed in interesting mixes of materials and stylish fixtures plus they are fully air-conditioned. 

Although secluded, Friar's Bay and Happy Bay beaches are steps away. A 3-minute drive takes you to the charming town of Grand Case filled with fabulous restaurants plus the Hope Estate area with a terrific French grocery store and Bacchus, one of the island's best restaurants and wine merchants.
