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.

Our third trip to St. John… Great house!

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

Southern Exposure is a wonderful home and the property manager was on top of everything.  Thanks so much for all the hospitality.  The books [in the house] were very helpful.

~ John, Denise, John Jr., Denise & Jason, Maryland

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

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…

This is our seventh trip to St. John… Southern Exposure was a perfect retreat after long days at the beaches.

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.

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

Thank you for a beautiful villa, and thanks to the property manager for being a caring and helpful management team.  For the over 60 crowd, we passed up the snorkeling but thoroughly enjoyed the views… eating out and cooking on the house’s Weber [grill].

Thanks to our partners, you can find ties online to suit every preference and budget, from budget to top-of-the-range super stylish models.

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

~ The J. Family, Sacramento, CA

Enjoyed everything… the rooms are all awesome.  The pool was great to jump in every few hours – sun-tan-fun.  Hope we can come back to this great place and enjoy our friends… 

~ K & S, Colorado

Celebrated our 40th anniversary on St. John… Enjoy the house!  It’s great for total relaxation – the pool is perfect for floating.

~ Carolyn & Eric H., & Steve and P. B.

We had a wonderful time in your cozy home.  The view is breathtaking and we enjoyed many home-cooked meals on the deck…

Your home is beautiful and very ‘homey.’  Enjoyed the spacious deck each morning and evening.

We had such a wonderful time.  Southern Exposure is a lovely home and we are so happy we got to see it.

Such a great place!  We had such a great time and able to relax, and it’s so nice to have a place with such nice cooking equipment.

~ The W. Family, Longmont, CO

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!

~ The R. & G. Families

This is my first visit and your home made it a very memorable one.  The colors you have chosen along with the furniture and artwork make your home a very lovely, warm, inviting place.  While I loved the beach… your pool provided a lovely retreat in the early morning hours and in the hot afternoon.  Thank you for such an inviting place!

Mike and I enjoyed numerous sunrises and sunsets – we now know and understand how you must pine for this place during our harsh Indiana winters…  We love your home!

~ Mike and Cheryl H., Indiana

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

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

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

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

~ MM, Manhaut, MA and LM, Salem MA

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the villa was the perfect place to relax.

~ K, A, C, M, & L, New Hampshire, Massachusetts & England
