Villa Canoua - on the terrace
The terrace
This St. Martin villa is a 'dream come true' vacation spot. The 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bath, 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 almost 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 view
The villa features several outdoor sitting areas on each side of the pool, as well as on the covered terrace. The infinity pool, overlooking the Caribbean, has a good size of 4 x 8 m (14' by 26'). The pool and deck are very private and allow swimming and sunbathing "au natural".

Private Sunbathing by the pool
Villa Canoua is situated in a quiet, gated residential area on Happy Bay. The tranquil vacation home features a lot of amenities at very attractive rates. Friar's Bay with its casual beach restaurants and Grand Case for fine dining and shopping are a very short drive away.

Villa Canoua - the living room

The open plan living room with cathedral ceiling has a comfortable sitting area and US-Satellite TV channels, stereo, DVD and CD-player, as well as telephone and free Internet WiFi access.

The brown colored sofas and chairs (still to be seen on some
some photos) were recently replaced by grey furniture.

The villa owner's daughter contributed many handmade pieces of art & decoration to this unique and stylish place on Saint Martin. The living room has large sliding doors leading to the terrace and the pool. On the other side is the entrance door of the house and a porch with another sitting area that also holds a gas BBQ grill. There is also a guest restroom located at the entrance area.
