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.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home – we had the best time…

~ The T. Family, IL

Thank you for sharing your St. John home with us.  View, amenities, pool and ‘home’ touches were all wonderful.

~ Bill & Kathie F. and Kit and Chris B., Bethesda, MD and Colorado Springs, CO

Our 9th trip to beautiful St. John… a spur of the moment deal… it was meant to be.  The villa is great and we will come back to it in December for two weeks.  Read the books in the villa…. very informative.  This villa had everything we needed and [was] so very comfortable.  Property manager was a great help.  This is as close to paradise as you can get.  Home away from home.

~ Bill & Sandie K., Broad Run, VA

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

Sunshine, showers and Finch (birds) visits here at Southern Exposure are a morning delight that will stay in our memory…  We loved staying in your nice villa and hope to return!

~ John and Dawn S., Don and Nancy N., Lakeville, IN

What fun to read everyone’s reaction to the beauty of Southern Exposure [in the house guest book].  I love the pool and the shell & rock décor on the deck and shower.

~ Judy & Darold A., Litchfield Park, AZ

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

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.

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!

We loved the layout and pool and views.  This home was perfectly appointed too!  …Will look forward to returning here – this island, this home.

We enjoyed your home and it accommodated all 9 of us.  Hope to be back.

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!

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

~ Bill & Sandie K., Broad Run, VA

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].
