Villa Lucie on Happy Bayis a new 3 bedroom, 2 bath villa on Happy Bay on the French side of St. Martin. The property is a wonderful quiet, contemporary Caribbean getaway for one or two couples or a small family. The exquisite villa is located in the purely residential area of Mont Choisy, better known as Happy Bay, an upscale villa community that has developed into a trendy vacationing area in the last 2, 3 years. People who stay in this area come for the quiet and secluded location of Mt. Choisy offering both, tranquil privacy and fantastic views of the Caribbean Sea. The proximity to two pristine tropical dream beaches - Friar's Bay and Happy Bay - is another great pro of the area. The short distance to the gourmet village of Grand Case for fine dining and shopping is yet another advantage of Happy Bay that is appreciated by guests and villa owners alike.

Reservations for Villa Lucie



Villa Lucie on Happy Baywas the home of the French island governor for a few years, until he recently received a new call of duty and had to move away. On Happy Bay, there is only a handful of villas for rent at all, and Villa Lucie is now one of them, only since May of 2010!

The property is completely fenced in, providing also an electric gate and a paved driveway. Your Caribbean vacation will start once you enter the driveway, and when you see the beautiful, lush tropical garden that encircles the well maintained property. Inside, Villa Lucie features a blend of modern interior design, combined with all modern amenities that you can expect from a recently built home, completed in 2005.

Hillside location of Villa Lucie

Reservations for Villa Lucie

Hillside location of Villa Lucie on Happy Bay

Villa Lucie sits on the southern side of the hill of Mont Choisy, better known as Happy Bay, half way between Marigot and Grand Case on the West coast of Saint Martin. The hilltop property overlooks Friar's Bay, situated just a few yards away, down the hill. The other side of Mt. Choisy faces Anguilla, the sea and Happy Bay Beach to the north.

Although there is an unofficial footpath leading down the hill to the beach of Friar's Bay, we do not recommend to use it's it a rather steep and uncomfortable walk.

Better take the car to get to Friar's Bay! You'll be there in less than 5 minutes. The road on Mt. Choisy is paved, only the last 300 yards to Friar's Bay is a bumpy dirt road.

Happy Bay - best dream beach of St. Martin!

Happy Bay, the last unspoiled beach on St. Martin!
Happy Bay, the last unspoiled beach on St. Martin!

Friar's Bay is a very relaxed and laid-back picturesque beach with a fair amount of powdery white sand, fringed by sea grapes and palm trees. The bay is well protected from the swells and attracts also a few boats and yachts, especially on weekends. For its calm waters, Friar´s Bay is ideal for relaxing in French ambience. At its best at Friar's Bay Beach Cafe! This beach bar is in the middle of the beach, offers fine French Caribbean cuisine and a wide range of special menus, plus a friendly and efficient service. A great place to hang out and enjoy life!

More Info on Friar's Bay

The breathtaking beach of Happy Bay is the last unspoiled and secluded beach of St. Martin! It is also one of the best snorkel spots of the island. Happy Bay can only be reached by foot or by boat. You can either walk along the coast at Friar's Bay, or take the shortcut at Mt Choisy. A few yards away from Villa Lucie, there is a gate to access the footpath down to Happy Bay Beach. Keys for the gate are only available to tenants of Mont Choisy. You will need a good 5 minutes to walk down to Happy Bay Beach. Back up the hill it's about a 10 minutes walk. Although not easy to reach, do not miss out on a visit  of Happy Bay at least once during your stay; definitely worth it!
