Wonderful Villa, Wonderful Location

A very well maintained, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable and restful villa. The views are also peaceful and perfect for an island get away. Love the colors and the villa layout. Worked great for two couples.

Another Great Time On Island

First time bringing a friend to St John. Our sixth visit in 22 years. This was our first time staying down in Coral Bay. Enjoyed access to groceries, restaurants and North Shore beaches easily. Views are the best long range we have ever had. House was outfitted for our needs. We absolutely love TOM. He was great at checkin and very responsive when we needed another key worked out for our mixed group. Thank you for sharing your home!

Happy Our

The unique layout of Happy Our was perfect for our family with two older teenagers. Our 15 year-old enjoyed having the separate cottage with its own bath and porch area. We enjoyed several dinners at Skinny Legs and the close proximity of so many great beaches for snorkeling! Helen, the host, responded quickly to any pre-trip inquiries and provided lots of great information to help with planning. Tom, the local property manager, was so friendly. He was very easy to communicate with and went above and beyond!

Perfection

This property is exactly as listed and pictured. It couldn't be a happier space. Personality galore. Helen (owner) & Tom (property manager) were both fantastic to communicate with. We love the Coral Bay side of the island - fewer people - very chill vibe. We highly recommend Happy Our.

Lovely property

The home was very nice. Well furnished. Great views. Comfortable. Excellent example of island life. Fun to get to, like most homes on the island. Would have appreciated some soap for showers (expected based on listing) and facial tissues. Felt sorry for the property manager having to meet us late because of flight delays. Otherwise, an experience worth having.

Happy Our was our happy place.

Fun loving, colorful funky charm. I do not think the pictures do the home justice. Nestled overlooking Coral Bay and Hurricane Hole, every day we saw inspiring sunrises. Property was slightly off the beaten path which is ideal place for us. The island is not large do access to other parts is a breeze. The host was helpful in recommending local charters, car rentals, restaurants and other services. We definitely would go back again. Thank you for awesome time

The perfect place!

We loved Happy Hour! There was so much indoor/outdoor space for our family. Never felt crowded. The views were just spectacular and the breezes were terrific. A great location to get to so many beaches and trails. Skinny Legs restaurant and Salty Mongoose within just a few minutes from the villa. 2 grocery stores in very close proximity. Lots of opportunities to rent dinghy’s boats snorkle gear and such. The Lime Out was an absolute must go! Would have given anything to stay a second week!

Almost Heaven

Happy Our is beautiful and although it was just the 2 of us it would be a perfect home for 4 or even 6 people. The bedrooms provide lots of privacy and the common area is very spacious and comfortable. The views are spectacular and watching the sunrise from bed or the deck with a cup of coffee was a daily treat. Helen was very responsive and provided lots of helpful information to help with trip planning. Tom got us nicely situated and made himself available should we have needed him (which we did not). One cautionary note if you have a fear of heights as I do, the driveway is a bit terrifying. Tom assured us that we would get better at navigating it, and we did, but I never got over my dread of that trip. Despite the daily test of my nerves, everything else was perfect!

Hairpin turn steep driveway

The steep driveway and hairpin turn to get to the house was scary. The owner's car was parked in the driveway the entire time. There was only one room with AC. The fridge/freezer didn't work well. All things not mentioned in the description. Overall it was clean and we enjoyed the view and the breeze on the patio.

Happy Our is every hour on St. John!

The delightful Happy Our is tucked away on the top of a hill overlooking Coral Bay – (located about 30 minutes’ drive from busy Cruz Bay.) It has beautiful views and wonderful breezes throughout! The house is delightfully decorated in lively Caribbean colors with great artwork and whimsical tropical fish! The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 5; it has plenty of “together space” between the living room, dining room and spacious deck while the bedrooms allow for private winddown time! The kitchen has everything you need for making meals when you don’t want to go out to eat. The spacious deck off the main house is ideal for enjoying morning coffee, evening cocktails and those breezes! My husband and I stayed in the “cottage” which has its own patio and a large outdoor shower! There are plenty of linens provided, including beach towels; there were more than enough easy to carry beach chairs and coolers which came in very handy! We booked this property for a family vacation with our adult children to celebrate my husband’s retirement. Helen the owner surprised us with beer and wine in the refrigerator upon our arrival! We were so impressed and appreciative of her kind and thoughtful gesture! Planning for our stay couldn’t have been easier, she is a very responsive owner. Prior to our arrival she shared tips and recommendations about restaurants, grocery shopping, beaches, and car rentals – everything we needed to help make our stay smooth and enjoyable. Property manager Tom was a pleasure, also full of great advice and recommendations. The house is a short drive to Coral Bay restaurants, beaches and two small but well stocked convenient type grocery stores. Driving on St. John is not for the faint of heart! In Coral Bay you share the road with wild donkeys and herds of goats (delightful!) we highly recommend following Helen’s advice and renting a 4-wheel drive jeep. The property is as described in the listing; well-cared for, great Coral Bay location, clean and a wonderful place to relax! Many thanks to Helen, and property manager Tom for a delightful opportunity to create a memorable family vacation

Re-Donk-ulous stay!

You can't go wrong staying on st john, and Coral Bay is the place to be if you want a quiet and friendly neighborhood with great people. Happy Our was an absolute privilege to stay at. The property was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed, the outdoor shower was amazing, and both the owners and Tom the property manager were attentive and wanted nothing more than for us to have an amazing stay. Not to mention the deck has the most incredible view of Coral Bay and Hurricane Hole. The pictures aren't just accurate, but can't possibly capture just how beautiful that view truly is. And we can't forget to mention the donkeys! We had some amazing encounters across the island with local wildlife, including some wild donkeys who came up the road to say hi as we were driving back to the villa. They were so friendly they were willing to be pet and even pose for pictures. Our girls in particular couldn't talk enough about it! Do yourself a favor, and stay at Happy Our. You won't regret it.

Helen was spot on with communication and recommendations for activities. The house was exactly as described. The rooms are spread out enough to get a little distance from the rest of your group when needed with a great central area for being together. Beautiful view of Coral Bay.

Peaceful vibe

Happy Our suited our need perfectly! We came to work at Carolina Corral, and it was less than 5 minutes away! It’s close to town, restaurants, and grocery stores. Sitting up the hill offers a beautiful view and stunning sun rises! My daughter and I felt very safe staying there alone. I slept with the deck doors open every night and loved hearing the night sounds. It got a little warm at times, but using the fan helped a lot. The villa is equipped nicely with plenty of towels, cookware, beach chairs, etc. The villa is very cheery and relaxing! We also had a donkey couple visit one time on the driveway! Tom, the villa manager is a really nice and fun guy to chat with! And Helen the owner is a great communicator! We’re very pleased!

Great views and perfect location close to all bays and beaches!

Happy Our was a perfect beach cottage in a perfect location with stunning views high over Coral Bay for our family of four. Happy Our is perfect for older kids, in our case 17 year old daughter and 15 year old son. We will stay in Coral Bay again as we gained new perspectives on the bays in East End and Salt Pond Beach. A left hand turn at the end of the driveway and just a quick few miles to Haulover Bay and Hansen Bay for some excellent reefs, turtles, sting rays and fish. Salt Pond Beach is a new favorite also with excellent reefs and turtles just up the road (you will literally check off every fish on your fish guide at Haulover and Salt Pond). And the sharp right hand turn onto route 20 cuts a ton of time on driving around the island and brings you right into Maho Bay, Trunk Bay and the rest. With two adventurous teenagers, a 17 year old daughter and 15 year old son, the days of having them share a pullout are over. Happy Our was a perfect property with separate bedrooms (1 side cottage with it's own bathroom) for us all. Kitchen and grill perfect for dinners in and Skinny Legs literally at the end of the drive way for excellent burgers and refreshments. Morgan's Mango in Cruz Bay for the Grand Finale dinner. We loved our stay at Happy Our. Patio views were amazing. Will stay here again!

Amazing set up for multiple couples

This is our second time to St. John and first time we went with another couple. The set up of this house is perfect for giving couples their own space. Waking up every morning and each room having their own balcony is an wonderful treat. The house was very clean and had everything you could need to cook any meals when you want a break of eating out. We love it over in Coral Bay and this house is in a great location. If we come back with more couples or family, this house will definitely be back on the list.

Wonderful Tropical Vibes

A trip filled with much gratitude! Thankful for Helen for this opportunity and for all of the wonderful help with planning our vacation! Thankful for Tom and his hospitality from the time we arrived on the island, the tour as we made our way to Happy Our and all the wonderful tips he gave us for our stay! Happy Our was in a perfect location! The sunrise view was such a wonderful way to start our day! We enjoyed a hearty breakfast on the deck and then headed out for a day of beaching, hiking and snorkeling! We would make our way back for a snack and cocktail on the deck and then would head out for a beautiful dinner exploring many of the local restaurants! It was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves and waking up to a beautiful sunrise! Happy Our had everything we needed! We were so thankful For comfy beds! Highlight was showering in the outdoor showers! Happy Hour was well stocked with beach towels, beach chairs and swimming noodles! They have put a lot of thought into making their guests have the best experience! We are grateful for being able to have the wonderful experience!!!

Nestled into the hillside with views that take your breathe away

Happy St.Our is a vibrant, full of color, island vibe nestled in the hillside over directly looking Coral Bay and all of the splendid and beauty of the islands and Bay. The view is indescribable and very memorable. The owner and manager both provide excellent communication and putting you first. We came back to St. John to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary over the week of Thanksgiving (we were married on Trunk Bay). We throughly enjoyed every minute snorkeling and exploring the island and beaches. The island has shown its resilience and commitment to rebuild after Irma and Maria. We will definitely return and hold our memories of such a enjoyable stay and experience close to our hearts.

35/5 vacation 2019

Happy Our is a great place to stay. Comfortable, spotless and very well appointed. The views are magnificent and the breezes make AC unnecessary. The property is large enough for everyone to spread out and have some downtime or gather in one place to celebrate. We were a little disappointed that the pool was not in service yet, but the beaches more than made up for it. The drive to the house, as stated by another, earlier reviewer, is indeed, quite an adventure in itself. Tom was very helpful in showing us around the property and answered our couple of calls promptly. Coral Bay is a peaceful retreat with some very good options for dining, shopping, etc, and is just a short drive to the beaches and Cruz Bay. We would highly recommend Happy Our to people who require 3 bedrooms for their party. It is a wonderful place. Thank you Helen and Tom...we appreciate you. Mark, John and Dale.

About the host

Hosted by Helen

Host profile image
After 12 years of St. John vacations, we took the plunge in 2002 and purchased our Caribbean dream home. The Lemoines and Peters, known to enjoy a margarita or two after a day at the beach, and thrilled that the house was "ours", decided on a most appropriate moniker, 'HAPPY OUR.' We hope you'll choose 'OUR' own private paradise on St. John for your island vacation.

Why they chose this property

Great Coral Bay location. Amazing dual views. Comfortable and casual living in our Caribbean home with a great island vibe.

What makes this property unique

Convenience to Coral Bay shops and restaurants. Easy, scenic drive to beaches.
Flat and partially paved road leading to fully paved driveway up to the house.
