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.

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…

~ The B. Family, Oakton, VA

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.

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.

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

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.

~ Deb, Michael, Tracy, Andrea, Eileen S. & Nancy, and Rich C., Boston, MA

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 St. John vacation and loved this beautiful home.  Thank you.

~ Diane & George & Family, Bluffton, IN
