This St. Martin villa is a 'dream come true' vacation spot. The two bedrooms, 2 ½ bath, all a/c, very private and secluded villa sits on a slope overlooking Happy Bay, the last untouched beach of St Martin - St Maarten. The unobstructed views from the pool, the deck, the terrace and from every room of Villa Canoua are breathtaking. You'll have a panoramic view over Happy Bay Beach, the blue turquoise Caribbean sea, neighboring Anguilla and sailing boats occasionally passing by.
Good to know for families traveling with young children: the access to the pool can be secured for children by security gates on each side of the pool and the terrace.
There is a footpath below the villa that takes you in 5 minutes to the unspoiled and secluded beach of Happy Bay, which is also one of the best snorkel spots on the island.

The Viewpoint Makes the DifferenceVilla Canoua has unobstructed views to the beach, the Caribbean Sea, and the island of Anguilla on the horizon.
Happy Bay - the Best Kept Secret on St. MartinThis beach cannot be reached by car, but you can reach it by a short walk from Villa Canoua.
Lazy Days of Endless Summer in Villa Canoua's PoolThe infinity pool of Villa Canoua grants very high privacy. The pool area cannot be viewed from the street, which anyway is an extremely quiet cul-de-sac in the gated community of Mont-Choisy.
Time for Poolside LunchVilla vacation leaves all options to you: Eat at "home" or go to one of the many restaurants in nearby Grand Case. You can select from simple roadside places to premier French fine dining places.
TerraceThere are two sets of tables and chairs, one dinner table and one for relaxed sitting, what you see here.
Villa Canoua - Nestled at the Slopes of Mont Choisy above Happy BayOnly one neighboring villa to the right, located at the best spot of Mont Choisy, a purely residential area, which is slowly growing to an upscale area of luxury villas.
Pool or Beach? The pool allows wonderful views towards beach and Ocean. The whitewater pool, although not heated, has year round pleasant temperatures. So has the sea through all months of the year. Happy Bay beach is protected against strong winds and enjoys very gentle surf.
The Beach for YouOften nobody or only a few people populate this beach. Au natural, topless, no problem, this beach is far off the mainstream beach activities of the island.
Happy Bay BeachIt can't get any better for a Caribbean trip. Quiet, almost private beach, sun, warm sea water with little waves, and the shadows of palm trees.
White Soft Sand, Shade of Palm Trees, Just a Dream Come TrueThis is Caribbean as you certainly imagine for your trip, but rarely found anywhere else. A beach for you alone, gentle waves, and a slight breeze.
Easy Walk to the BeachThe gated community built a path exclusively for the villas at Mont Choisy, which villa guests use for beach access. Only a few other visitors walk from nearby Friar's Bay to Happy Bay, too.
Rest under the Trees of Happy BayBring a beverage (and return the bottles to the villa, please) or some snack, and enjoy your picknick at this romantic place.
Impressive Garden with Exotic PlantsThe owner and his gardener apply much attention keeping this garden with plants for dry climate continuously flourishing. Visitors love these flowers, cactus, and palm trees.
Colors and Scent of the TropicsYear round colorful flowers are surrounding the villa
View from the Entrance GateVilla Canoua has a remote controlled gate. Guests drive down the short drive way and have parking space for two cars secured inside the fenced villa lot.
