About Southern Exposure

Welcome to Southern Exposure, a spacious home on St. John built and decorated in true Caribbean style, featuring expansive views of the open sea and cooling trade wind breezes.

Southern Exposure features a huge, sprawling deck perfect for entertaining your guests or a private evening of stargazing.  Day and night, views from Villa Southern Exposure’s deck give you 180 degree plus vistas of the Caribbean to the south, and to the broad expanse of the Fish Bay valley.

Here, you’ll bask in the warm glow of the morning sun as it rises above St. John’s hills to the east, or while away hours watching sailboats on the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

Southern Exposure is a three bedroom, three bath spacious villa located in Fish Bay, on St. John’s south shore, just a quick ten minute drive to Cruz Bay, where you’ll find markets, restaurants, shopping and entertainment.

Away from the hustle and bustle of town, Southern Exposure offers guests the quiet and solace that brings people to St. John. The villa comfortably accommodates up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom.

The upstairs/downstairs layout provides two separate and spacious communal living areas with a large deck, making this home perfect for families with children, or separate groups of couples wishing some ‘private space.’  The raised deck pool, surrounded by beautiful native stone and coral walls and an array of colorful bougainvillea, allamanda flowers, hibiscus and palm trees, provides a relaxing and quiet way to pass a day, for those who just don’t want to venture out some days. Set up a reward mechanism to recognize employees’ hard work.

Southern Exposure offers panoramic St. John ocean views and tradewind breezes. There is a second, lower-level covered deck that offers dining and seating off the lower living room.

What a wonderful house, what breathtaking views, and what a truly perfect place to spend a vacation.  Everything was so comfortable and easy on the eye – you really do have your own little corner of paradise here.  

~ Schuyler, Marianne, Dylan & Lucas B., Weston, CT

You have a beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed home with fantastic views.  We enjoyed our stay — our 8th visit to St. John — at Southern Exposure, and one of our best.  And the property managers were fantastic – very accommodating and helpful.

~ Susan & Mike, Atlanta, GA, and Petra, Prague, Czech Republic

After a long snowy New England winter, this was exactly what we needed.  The house was beautiful, we enjoyed the pool so much that we too, like others who stayed here, found it capturing us to stay poolside.

~ Bill & Kris G., Woodbury, CT

 I highly recommend Southern Exposure!… and the property manager has been great, very responsive to our needs.

~ Loreen B., Meridian, CT & Friends from W. Hartford, CT, RI, and VA

This is our 3rd year vacationing on St. John.  Your home is absolutely lovely – a wonderful respite from the frantic pace… in New England.  Thank you for sharing your home away from home.  This is a perfect spot.  The décor is perfect!

~ Judy and Morris C., Guilford, CT

A wonderful place to stay.  We felt right at home.

~ MM, Manhaut, MA and LM, Salem MA

We had a crew of 9 and this beautiful house fit us perfectly!  We all enjoyed the pool, lounging on the deck and taking in the amazing view.

~ The Cooks, NH and MA

Our second time here [at Southern Exposure].  Again a great time.  The house looks beautiful…

~ Bill & Sandie K., Broad Run, VA

The perfect home for our family of 7 to come home to after all festivities…

~ The J. Family, Sacramento, CA

We had a wonderful week on St. John.  Your home was very comfortable and we found everything there we needed.  The view of the bay from the deck and kitchen window was spectacular.  We solved many of the world’s problems from the deck in the evening…

~ The B. Family, Oakton, VA

We truly enjoyed your beautiful well-appointed villa – the pool, eating outside under the stars, and the super stone & shell shower.  I love the periwinkle blue color in the master bedroom [cabana] too.  My husband and I had this whole wonderful house – and its fabulous views – to ourselves!

~ Stefani & Don M., Croton-on-Hudson, NY

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your St. John home with us.  We loved the island, and the house was perfect for us, spacious and well-equipped. The kids loved the pool, and we loved the view!   Back to the house, there was more than enough room for my husband and me, our three boys (ages 8, 6, and 4), and our teen-aged babysitter. In fact, we never used one of the bedrooms. The house was clean and well-maintained and was accurately described in the listing and photos.  The owner was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions via email and providing information about the house and St John in general.  The pool setup is good for young children because the pool is about three feet higher than deck level (accessible by stairs and a ramp), so it’s less likely that a kid would accidentally fall in.  Our boys played in the pool every day and loved it.  The view from the deck is beautiful!!  I would definitely recommend this property to others, especially families with children.

~ Sarah N. and Family, Vermont

What a great house you have here on beautiful St. John.  We really enjoyed everything, including the pool!  Would do it all over again!

~ Scott and Karen T. and family, Chester, NJ

Thank you so much for the wonderful house.  It was everyone’s first visit to the island and we loved it!  We appreciated all the comforts of home and the well-stocked kitchen. 

~ Deb, Michael, Tracy, Andrea, Eileen S. & Nancy, and Rich C., Boston, MA

Great house.  The setting is wonderful.  The layout is good too… Would rent again!  Thank you.

~ Norb and Candi W., Jacob W., Va. Beach, VA

In addition to your comfortable and well-appointed home, what makes St. John the next best thing to paradise is that each of us enjoyed its wonder in different ways.  For me, it was the beauty, the serenity, the gazing back at history (from your well-stocked bookshelf), and inhaling the island for this week.  It was on the days that I never left the villa and the pool and the ever-blowing breeze that I felt part of St. John – however brief the moment!  Thanks so much for the experience.  Would love to do it again – perhaps I will.

Southern Exposure is breezy, tranquil, comfortable and so picturesque it takes the breath away.  Mornings, mid-day, starlit evenings – all equally splendid and magical.  We have fallen in love with [your] villa, and the island as well.  Thank you for letting us [enjoy] this wonderful villa.  Your many books on St. John were much appreciated and enjoyed!

~ Donald & Linda M., Stoney Creek, NC, and Jackie & Brian F., Raleigh, NC

We had a wonderful time on this beautiful island – enjoyed our stay at Southern Exposure.  Loved to have our dinners outside on the deck after a day of beaches…  The Property Manager was terrific – helpful and responsive 🙂

~ The M. and D-F Families, NY and MD

The equipped kitchen was very appreciated as was the interior and the landscaping.  Hope someday we will be able to return.

~ Spiros S. & Jerry F.

We had an amazing time with amazing views and weather.  Thank you for sharing your ‘Happy Place!’  It is ours too!!

~ The P. & G. Families, Boston, MA

Our vacation on St. John at Southern Exposure has been fabulous.  We really enjoyed the comfort and relaxation of this home away from home.  The view is beautiful.  Thanks for sharing Southern Exposure with us… we hope to return soon.

~ Dan M. & Family, no city given

Our group of six had a wonderful time here!  The villa was very comfortable and was stocked with everything we needed.  The view was absolutely spectacular and the deck was so relaxing.  We all agreed that we must come back.

Your place was great – felt like home and had everything we needed.  The view was great and we enjoyed the evenings sitting on the deck. The personal touches were welcoming and the kitchen set-up made it easy…  We thought the location was private [and] was a great spot as home base for traveling throughout the island.  This was our second visit to St. John.

~ Deb, Patrick, Judy, Charlie, Cathy

Spent our 25th anniversary here.  You have a lovely home.  Southern Exposure will always have special memories for us.  Thank you.

~ Marian & Glenn C., Middletown, NJ

Our two families fit comfortably and we always found something to do… appreciated the view we woke up to every morning.  We had a great time at this beautiful home.  Thank you for the memories!
