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.

Southern Exposure far exceeded our expectations.  It was wonderful and helped to nourish our minds, bodies, and souls.  Thank you for… sharing this very special place.

You have a beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed home with fantastic views.  We enjoyed our stay — our 8th visit to St. John — at Southern Exposure, and one of our best.  And the property managers were fantastic – very accommodating and helpful.

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

~ The J. Family, Sacramento, CA

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

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

~ The G. Family, Laurens, IA

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.

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

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 such a beautiful house and we loved every moment here this week… This was our second stay at Southern Exposure, and we can’t wait to come back again soon!

~ The M Family, Richmond, VA

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.

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

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

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

We had a wonderful time.  The villa is beautiful and very comfortable – and the view is stunning. 

~ The Winchesters, New York

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

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

Our third trip to St. John… Great house!

~ Jack & Pat M., Emmaus, PA

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.
