Southern Exposure

Welcome to Southern Exposure, a spacious home built and decorated in true Caribbean style, featuring expansive views of the open sea, cooling trade wind breezes, and a huge, sprawling deck perfect for entertaining your guests, or for a private evening of stargazing. Day and night, deck views sweeping well past 180 degrees provide eye-popping 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 hills to the east, or while away hours watching sailboats at sea, and lose yourself in hours of dream-inducing evening stargazing.

Southern Exposure is a newly renovated four bedroom, four 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 in the first place. The house comfortably accommodates up to 8 people in 4 bedrooms, each with their own bedroom and bathroom. The upstairs/downstairs layout, each level with its own spacious communal living area and large deck, is perfect for families with children, or separate groups of couples wishing some ‘private space’ from time to time. And of course, the raised deck pool, surrounded by beautiful native stone and coral walls and an array of colorful bougainvillea, alamanda, hibiscus and palm trees, will keep both adults and kids entertained for hours.


The home features one of the most expansive decks in the valley, situated toward stunning ocean views and cooling breezes. A second, lower-level covered deck affords a partly sheltered outdoor experience. And the separate cabana’s newly covered deck area provides yet another private lounging space, as does the main house master bedroom’s private deck.


The expansive views and the colorful and traditional Caribbean design and decorating motif led one notable local to call Southern Exposure ‘one of the most charming Caribbean style homes I’ve seen on the island.’

The main house upstairs (entrance level) features a living/dining area suitable for eight guests. The villa owner is a dedicated amateur chef, and the kitchen is equipped accordingly, providing everything you’ll need to prepare sumptuous meals on those evenings when you’re just not up to going out. An outdoor gas grill easily accommodates any dinner party.


The cabana bedroom is its own separate building, just steps from the main house, and it includes a tropical outdoor stone and coral shower, along with ample closet space and private bath. A second, beautifully appointed master bedroom is located inside the main house on the same level, and features a private bathroom and spacious tile shower.



The view below is of the cabana bedroom’s private bath and the entrance to its unique coral and native stone outdoor shower. Like the rest of the house, it is recently painted in a bright, airy and colorful Caribbean motif, with tropical accents and artwork throughout.

The lower level of the main house provides two more bedrooms. One features two beds (which can be pushed together to form a king-size bed) or used as a kids room as is. It’s light and airy, and leads directly to the lower deck area. It has its own private bathroom with shower.
The other lower-level bedroom features a Caribbean-teal blue and sunshine theme and is located in a private corner of the home, with its own entry from either the front entrance or lower level deck.



The main living area downstairs serves as a multi-purpose entertainment room, opening out to its own private covered tile deck with lounges, table and chairs. It has a wet bar, small refrigerator and two futons (that can be used as beds in a pinch). For families, it’s an ideal ‘kids room’ complete with games, TV w/VCR, and CD player. Both downstairs bathrooms are directly accessible from the living area here. There is a laundry room in the lower level with brand new front-loading washer & dryer.
