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

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

Great island home, with a beautiful view. The location was ideal for us, quiet with a short drive into town. Spacious deck with a nice pool. Ideal for days we were not going to the beach. We stayed post-hurricane and would not have known this place was affected. Well managed home.

~ Brad E., South Bend, Indiana

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

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

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 van H. family, Spencer, IA

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

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

~ Rob A., Odenton, MD

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Thanks for a great week at Southern Exposure.  Your home is beautiful.

~ C & H S., New Palestine, IN

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

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

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 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

~ 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!
