Happy Place. SolVillasUSVI

HAPPY PLACE's position, high up on the rocks, commands your incredible Panorama with great ocean breezes and with the entrance to the National Park and Cruz Bay's restaurants & shopping all nearby, you will love, love, the locations. Attached to a private villa, a personal parking area at your exclusive entryway, on their own level and your very private Panorama balcony, all work together to create the island home that is yours all alone.
COME! ENJOY! Let it be Your "HAPPY PLACE" in paradise.

The open floor plan boasts dining and living areas with large ceiling fans and a full service kitchen with gas range, microwave, fridge, coffeemaker & toaster, new, custom-made cabinets holding an array of pots, pans, dishes, utensils, basic spices and more, to facilitate cooking. Enjoy internet, WI-FI, cable, "smart" TV, and a very private balcony with BBQ & furniture all overlooking your Panorama View. The master suite boasts a quiet A/C, a queen size, Tempurpedic, bed; en-suite bathroom with dual vanity sinks, a walk in glass enclosed shower, separate commode room for privacy, built in full capacity washer and dryer and a safe for your valuables storage.
To top it off, HAPPY PLACE, in 2019 invested in the "TESLA POWERWALL" Solar System, creating clean, renewable, power from the sun, which virtually eliminates the frustration of the island's common power outages. This alternative to fossil fuels benefits our environment, lessening our carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gases.
Our contribution toward a favorable impact on the environment.

HAPPY PLACE is exclusively yours, from your personal parking area off of the main drive to the master suite, kitchen, dining and living rooms and your private patio.

We will contact you before your travel to coordinate a meeting upon your arrival. We can help with your rental car if needed Lead you to the house and give you an indoctrination at Happy Place. We are always available should any problem arise during your stay.

HAPPY PLACE IS Less than a mile from Cruz Bay where you can catch ferries to other islands, enjoy some great restaurants and bars, markets for food and necessities shopping, mail services, nail salons, coffee and cappuccino stand, and more. Other beaches and restaurants on the island are convenient as well since St. John is only about 13 miles long.

We recommend renting a car for your entire stay on St. John. The island is two-thirds national park. There are 35 beaches, countless trails and vistas to explore. The public transportation being very limited, your visit to paradise will be greatly enhanced with the freedom to explore our beautiful island, that is afforded by having your own car. Public parking is free throughout the island and at sites in the park. In Cruz Bay, free parking and ample pay parking, at a nominal rate, is always available.


Beach chairs, towels, ice chest are included.

Happy Place

This was our 2nd trip to STJ but our 1st time staying in Cruz Bay. Happy Place is located in a perfect location, easy access to the all that Cruz Bay offers as well as being removed from the noise and " traffic". The bed was comfortable and the unit had everything we needed. Henry, the property manager, met us at our Jeep rental location so that we could follow him to the property. Overall a great place to stay!

Lovely St John

Our stay was great. Will likely return to the Happy Place. Convenient to Cruz Bay. Views were great. The rental was very comfortable with many solid amenities. Loved the washer/dryer and the shower. This was our 11th trip to St. John and we always enjoy our stay, although the Island seemed quite busy this time.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful week at The Happy Place. Had everything we needed. View was wonderful and the two deck doors offered wonderful night and day views. The location was very convenient to town. We drove to beaches and hiking and utilized taxis or walking to hang out in Cruz Bay as parking limited. Our host was very communicative and gave us great tips for driving around, eating, etc. Neighborhood was great for walking as I took walks every morning before exploring for the day. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place to Stay!

We've made several trips to St. John and this was by far one of the nicest places we have stayed. Everything was clean and in working order. We were greeted at the dock by Henry who was very helpful and knowledgeable on all aspects of Happy Place and even gave us a few tips on some great snorkeling spots on the island. We will definitely try to stay at Happy Place on a return trip!
