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.

What a wonderful holiday in an amazing place to call home.  Thank you so much for sharing it with us.  Your wonderfully appointed house made everything so much easier, from identifying fish to answering island questions – the various guide books were invaluable.  We even used your cookbooks to serve our friends an “authentic” Caribbean meal!

~ Geraldine & Steve M, Ontario, Canada

We enjoyed our visit to Southern Exposure!  St. John offers so much joy… Thank you for a clean and comfortable stay!

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

~ The Winchesters, New York

Enjoyed everything… the rooms are all awesome.  The pool was great to jump in every few hours – sun-tan-fun.  Hope we can come back to this great place and enjoy our friends…

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

What a great house you have here on beautiful St. John.  We really enjoyed everything, including the pool!  Would do it all over again!

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

~ The T. Family, IL

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.

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 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.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your St. John home with us.  We loved the island, and the house was perfect for us, spacious and well-equipped. The kids loved the pool, and we loved the view!   Back to the house, there was more than enough room for my husband and me, our three boys (ages 8, 6, and 4), and our teen-aged babysitter. In fact, we never used one of the bedrooms. The house was clean and well-maintained and was accurately described in the listing and photos.  The owner was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions via email and providing information about the house and St John in general.  The pool setup is good for young children because the pool is about three feet higher than deck level (accessible by stairs and a ramp), so it’s less likely that a kid would accidentally fall in.  Our boys played in the pool every day and loved it.  The view from the deck is beautiful!!  I would definitely recommend this property to others, especially families with children.

~ Sarah N. and Family, Vermont

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!

~ Mike and Cheryl H., Indiana

Our two families fit comfortably and we always found something to do… appreciated the view we woke up to every morning.  We had a great time at this beautiful home.  Thank you for the memories!

~ The R. & G. Families

 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

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.

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!

A great time was had by all.  Love your home… very comfy, fabulous view.  Thanks so much!

~ The H. and B. Families, Connecticut & Pennsylvania

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

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

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

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

We had a wonderful week on St. John.  Your home was very comfortable and we found everything there we needed.  The view of the bay from the deck and kitchen window was spectacular.  We solved many of the world’s problems from the deck in the evening…
