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.

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.

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

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

Our first visit to St. John.  We will definitely be back and will see if Southern Exposure is available.  Your home is wonderful, comfortable, and fit our needs to a ‘T’.  The view is great and the pool refreshing.  Thanks again for making your home available to us.

~ The Sweeney Family

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

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

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

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

Your home is beautiful!  We enjoyed our stay here so very much!  The décor is wonderful all the way from the outdoor shower, the colorful bedrooms, and all the beautiful Caribbean furnishings.  Thank you for sharing with us – our vacation here in St. John was near perfect.  We will be back.

Had a lovely time…  Then, from one of the children:  We like the pool!!  I hope the next lucky people to get this house to have a good time too!  And we saw some lizards!  They were sooooo cute!

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.

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.

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!

A great time was had by all.  Love your home… very comfy, fabulous view.  Thanks so much!

~ Marian & Glenn C., Middletown, NJ

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

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!
