Fabulous stay!

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. The place was incredibly clean and the beds were super comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. This villa has everything you need! The location was perfect with an amazing view of the caribbean. Drew was an awesome host, very responsive and welcoming. We especially appreciated Drew’s efforts following checkout as we left a backpack behind. Drew worked with his team of professionals and had our backpack returned to us on St. Thomas without having to return back to St. John. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a terrific place to stay and experience!

Great Place - Beautiful Viewa

We had a great week at Southern Cross Villa! The host, Drew, was the best host we have ever had. So responsive. Property is well kept the only complaint would be that the dining room has no fans and without AC got toasty playing games. Living area fans more helpful. But the views are worth it along with the host!

Perfect rental for a couples trip!

We spent a week here with 3 other couples and absolutely loved it. Beautiful views, great bedroom for each couple, big common area and tons of outdoor space. Easy to communicate with the host and easy drive to Cruz Bay/north shore beaches. Road up to the house has an unpaved section so you definitely want a car with 4 wheel drive. Would love to come back and stay here again!

Good home but for the price it needed a little maintenance

The home is lovely and it fit our needs but for the price we paid it should have been maintained better. Screens were off the tracks, the ice maker didn't work and the lights didn't work well. These were easy fixes and should have been done before we arrived. Communication about the electricity issues would have been a good idea. We've traveled a lot and understand the load issues but managing expecations would have been a good idea. St John was wonderful but we'd probably stay somewhere with beach access and a sunset view next time.

Perfect & Peaceful

Great time, location and space to vacation with my husband and 3 other couples. Quick drive to Cruz Bay & beaches. The 4 bedrooms w/full baths provided the private space we each needed while the large kitchen, living/dining and outdoor spaces gave us room to talk, dance and do karaoke! The view is spectacular from all of the outdoor areas. We grilled and ate outdoors most evenings.

What a view!

We loved every moment at this house. The breakfasts in the morning were lovely out on the deck overlooking chocolate hole. We were able to find several cab drivers that would happily take us to dinner and home, just a short drive away. The welcome staff and concierge were both extremely helpful. I can’t say enough wonderful things!

View and outdoor space is excellent

Beautiful home. Private. View is exceptional. Great for multiple families because there are 2 bedrooms upstairs, on either side of the living room/dining room/kitchen. Then you go outside and down the stairs to the pool level, where there are 2 more (unconnected to each other or upstairs) bedrooms.

Beautiful home and location!

I would certainly reserve this property again! The location couldn't be beat and the views are AMAZING! The pool hit the spot after beachin' it all day and beach towels and chairs were provided, which made the packing easier. I do wish they had a small cooler for guests to take to beach, but cannot complain. The grocery store was just a short trip away!

Incredible home. Great host. Highly recommend.

Our family of four loved our experience at Southern Shores and will be back. The recently renovated house was well laid out and had everything we needed. Our favorite spot was sitting comfy furniture on the large deck watching sea turtles in Chocolate Hole followed closely by swimming in the pool w the kiddos. Our host made sure we had a seamless experience from ferry to house and back, gave great recommendations and even found us a Jeep when rentals were hard to come by. We’ll definitely be back.

Gorgeous Views, Next level cleanliness and ease of living

The views were amazing. We brought our own household products and were impressed with how much was provided for us (we could have brought less). The layout of the house and bedrooms easily accommodated four couples. High end appliances, beautiful pool, easy access to Town Center. The kitchen was beautifully outfitted and made it feel like we were cooking in our own homes rather than on a vacation property! Bravo. The only comment I would make for future renters, and the hosts will echo this, is that a car is necessary. Despite their closeness, the house is not an easy or safe walking distance from the town center or beaches, but a vehicle gets you there in 5 minutes.

Lovely

Great location with spectacular view. We mostly dined in and the kitchen was well equipped. There were beach towels and chairs available for beach trips. The only surprise so other guests know is there is no on site trash disposal so at check out you need to load it all in a car and drive it to a dumpster. Also to be aware the four bedrooms are all on opposite ends of the house on two levels so for families with little kids it’s not optimal. On the flip side the kids used the pool all of the time. There is a child gate available to secure entry. I would definitely recommend Southern Cross and would happily return.

ABSOLUTELY my favorite place we have ever stayed on any of our Caribbean adventures! I would like to tell you all everything we loved about this place but I don't have two weeks to spare. Lol. Location? OMG!!!! Breath taking! Very convenient to Cruz Bay also. Owner was AWESOME and Johnny on the spot with answers to any of our questions. You could tell he had done a ton of remodeling and stated he had other improvements on the way in the next month or two but honestly.....It doesn't need a thing now. We WILL be back and wouldn't even think about staying anywhere else. PARADISE!
