About this house rental
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, and 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’. To get to the lower living area & bedrooms you must go outside and down a set of stairs.
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.

Thank you so much for the wonderful house. It was everyone’s first visit to the island and we loved it! We appreciated all the comforts of home and the well-stocked kitchen.

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.

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.

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].

We had a fabulous trip to St. John. Southern Exposure had many amenities and items that we weren't hassled with needing to purchase (detergent, dish soap, etc.). We had never been to St. John and were a bit surprised to not be able to flush toilet paper, but ended up not being as bad as we thought it would be. The view of Fish Bay was tremendous and the outside deck and pool were such a fun way to end the day. We would recommend this place.

This house was beautiful and well supplied. It had plenty of bath towels, beach towels, dishes and cookware, and comfortable beds. The air conditioning is wall-mounted and controlled with a remote.The stairs between floors are exterior only, which makes it feel like 2 separate units--great for privacy. A turtle lives under the porch. The laundry and both indoor showers are downstairs, though the outdoor shower upstairs was pleasant and private. The upstairs living space was a great gathering spot for evening movies and dinner. The pool is deeper than it looks in the pictures, and if you have small children this could be a concern. There are stairs from the driveway to the house, so I would not recommend this property for wheelchair users. The driveway is steep and curves on the left side but not the right; I backed down with the driver's door open.The WiFi was out for the island for part of our stay. The property manager stayed in touch with updates.General advice: I should have checked a bag for groceries, a collapsible beach shelter, bug repellent, and reef-safe sunscreen, all of which are extremely expensive with limited choices on the island. There are many restaurants; some of these are shockingly pricey for the quality of the food. We preferred Dolphin Market in Coral Bay for groceries. If you are at the beach a bit early, you can find parking. St. John is a great place for unique adventures. Don't be afraid to try something new!
