About this property

Southern Exposure 3 bedroom / 3 bath villa

The Southern Exposure is a 3 bedroom 3 bath spacious home located in Fish Bay, on St. John's south shore, just a quick twelve 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 Home comfortably accommodates up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. New split AC unit in the great room, window AC units in each bedroom.

The upstairs/downstairs layout provides two separate and spacious communal living areas with large decks so this home is perfect for families with children, or separate groups of couples wishing some ‘private space’.

The lower living area (full AC) has laundry, bathroom, bedroom w)ensuite bath and living room. The third bedroom does not have an ensuite bath, you will need to access the second bathroom off the lower living room from the outside porch or front door area.

The raised deck pool, is surrounded by beautiful native stone and coral walls and an array of colorful bougainvillea, allemande flowers, hibiscus and palm trees.

Southern Exposure offers panoramic St. John ocean views and trade wind breezes. There is a second, lower-level covered deck that offers dining and sitting off of the lower family room.

A new huge deck area provides yet another communal grilling and eating and lounging space. The master bedroom has it's own private deck.

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. And are wonderful property managers!

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

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 folks at Seaview were fantastic – very accommodating and helpful.
- Susan & Mike, Atlanta, GA, and Petra, Prague, Czech Republic

Thank you for a beautiful villa, and thanks [to Seaview] 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].

Wonderful Visit - Perfect for Two Senior Couples
Southern Exposure was a perfect fit for two senior couples. Plenty of space, privacy, large decks, nice landscaping, dipping pool, well stocked kitchen/pantry and great views. My wife and I stayed on the spacious 2nd floor and spent most of our socializing time on the 3rd floor cooking and hanging out inside or on the exterior porch. Tammy arranged to have a driver meet us at the Cruz Bay car ferry to lead us to the property. This is highly recommended as a first time drive to the villa in the dark is not recommended due to twisty, narrow and steep uphill/downhill roads and spotty cell phone coverage. Navigation and driving were fine once we were settled and accustomed to the local area. From the villa, it's about a 16 minute drive to Cruz Bay and another 11 minutes to Trunk Bay area. If you plan to visit the north shore beaches, go early. The only (minor) inconveniences: (1) mosquitos were a challenge at dusk/evening. We failed to use a repellent and paid the price in multiple itchy bites. (2) The pool has a slow leak and someone would come by daily to add additional water. (3) The septic system is delicate and signs are posted requesting that toilet paper not be flushed (4) the 2nd floor had a strong odor from either cleaning/fragrance. This was addressed by opening the patio doors and running the ceiling fans. I managed to jam up the patio doors and Tammy and team responded quickly via text. Overall a wonderful stay and looking forward to another visit.

Perfect vacay!
Tammy was wonderful! Everything we needed was provided and she was very responsive. Everyone had plenty of space and she made sure we were greeted at the Jeep rental and found the house without a problem. We will be back!

Beautiful setting
Southern exposure was a great house for our family. It was my husband and myself and our daughters and their partners. The house is on multiple levels and gave everyone their own space. The house is well appointed with everything you needed. We cooked dinner several nights and the kitchen had everything including spices and plenty of containers for leftovers and using at the beach. There were beach chairs, towels and snorkel equipment. One of the chairs was broken and the property manager replaced it. The house is a great location less than 15 minutes to Cruz Bay, easy to get to north shore beaches and the views of Fish Bay were spectacular! The check in was great and the property manager was really flexible with our meeting time and place before she escorted us to the house. The house was really comfortable for our family and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent at the house. The description of the house should indicate that the third bedroom is not connected to the downstairs bedroom and living room on the lower level. Access to the third bathroom is either through the sliding doors on the lower level deck or up and around into the front door of the lower level.

Great location
This was our 5th time to St. John. The location of this Villa is not too far from either end of the Island. The views and privacy are amazing. The kitchen is lacking nothing for any meal you want to prepare. The whole house is comfortable and inviting after a full day at the beach. I will definitely come back!
