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.

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

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.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.  We had a great time there. 

~ Margo, Greg, Luke & Monica H., Traverse City, MI

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

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

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

Thank you so much for sharing your corner of the world with us. It’s so kind of you to entrust others with your home and possessions. We truly appreciate it. … We did not miss any of the conveniences of home. We won’t hesitate to recommend this to others or even hopefully come back again ourselves!

~ The Winchesters, New York

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.

~ Linda, Avery, Stacy F., Jacksonville Beach, FL, and Katherine & Tyler L., New Orleans, LA

This is a magical home on a magical island.  Thanks for the beautiful memories.

~ The A’s, Columbus, OH

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

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

~ Bob, Sara, Adam, Jeffrey S., Scottsdale, AZ

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.

~ Roy & Jenny G., Chester, NY and Robin & Barbara S., Dorset, England

 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

We had an amazing week that we will always remember.  The house was so well equipped with everything we could need and very well maintained too.  The house fit our needs perfectly while the view was breathtaking and the breezes lovely…  Cooking dinner on the grill and sitting on the huge deck under the stars every night was one of our favorite parts of the trip.  Thank you so much for sharing your home with us and making us feel welcome here in St. John.

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

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

What a great place to spend the last week of the first half of my life (I turned 40 here).

~ Rob A., Odenton, MD

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

~ Brian C. & family, Virginia Beach, VA, and Ingrid & James, Houston, TX

What a beautiful villa!  Your house and pool were so great that we spent long lazy days swimming and sunning and realized that we had not left the house in TWO days!  This was just what we were looking for.  This is our 5th time on the island and this is BY FAR the best place we stayed (love the colors!).  We will be back!

~ Steve, Chris & Cole M., Ohio

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
