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 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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
