Take a break from daily routine and escape to this relaxing tropical getaway for a fun vacation along with your spouse, family or friends. Your Caribbean adventure at the Joy will not drain your bank account. The Joy makes your escape affordable. This quiet, very comfortable townhouse welcomes you in a laid-back atmosphere, in a relaxed setting for a Caribbean vacation off St. Martin's tourists mainstream, yet only a short drive from island attractions and beaches.
This pretty two-level vacation home is located in an intimate, gated townhouse-style complex of just 3 attached villas in French Oyster Pond on the East coast of St. Martin. This is a residential area on the gentle hill between Oyster Pond Marina and Coralita Beach, a quiet, scenic and peaceful neighborhood. |
At very competitive rates, The Joy can be rented as a one bedroom or as a two bedroom home. If just one couple/1 bedroom is booked, the 2nd bedroom will simply be locked during your stay.

Secluded Coralita Beach and restaurants, bars and grocery stores are in walking distance from The Joy. |

Location of The Joy in Oyster Pond, Saint Martin

The ferry for a day trip to famous St. Barth's also leaves from Captain Oliver's.
The Joy is located in one of the most scenic areas of St. Martin/St. Maarten, see below a few pictures of Joy's neighborhood: |
|
Oyster Pond is the right spot for people who look for a quiet, picturesque neighborhood between the ocean and the Marina of Oyster Pond, right at the open border between French and Dutch side. The area is well maintained and dominated by villas and private homes scattered across the gentle hills and slopes. This area of the east coast of the island is off mainstream. It ensures all the serenity you may wish to experience and is still so close to awesome beaches, island attractions, restaurants, and all your daily needs. More action and night life can be reached by driving to the Westin casino (3 min. drive), the Orient Bay area (10 min.) or Philipsburg (10 min.).
