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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Wonderful Stay!
We had a really wonderful time at Southern Cross. The location is great, the updates to the house were very comfortable (new appliances/vanities and furniture) we had everything there that we needed. We have a 3 year old and we felt very comfortable with her in the upstairs bedroom, which is a great set up if you want your little ones bedroom close to the master-the bedrooms downstairs seem perfect for a bigger group or older kids as they would have their own space. We had a really wonderful time…always love St. John and we were sad to leave! Spent over a week at Benjamin’s and will definitely return! He mentioned new kitchen cabinets are going in but honestly that will just make all that much better, we were very happy with everything as it was! You won’t be disappointed!

This is our 2nd time to Southern Cross and it was even better than the first! The house was clean and spacious and the views are UNBELIEVABLE!!! The proximity to town and the beaches is also incredible. The Master bedroom and shower are incredible. The ONLY downside was not having air conditioning in the main living/dining/kitchen area but the bedrooms were all plenty cool with ac units. We loved it and hope to be back!!!

A wonderful memory
We had a great time on our recent stay at Southern Cross Villa. The views are amazing, we loved the pool at the end of the day and enjoyed the breezy mornings and evenings on the porch. I understand there are some upgrades planned, but overall it's a wonderful and relaxing place to be. The house has many amenities and we didn't need anything not already there. Plenty of showers, beds, and space to have some quiet time and breathtaking views. Tori and Katja were fantastic with instant communication when we needed it, helpful with information and recommendations. Our host Benjamin, was also great to deal with, responsive, reactive and helpful. They all made us feel welcome and important as their guests. The location is very convenient as well, a quick 5 min ride to Cruz Bay. We rented a car, but used a taxi service one time that picked us up at the house and brought us to the short hike trail to Honeymoon Beach for $35 for 5 of us, so there are reasonable options to get around. We loved our trip and would repeat it in the future at Southern Cross.

Incredible!
It was by total accident that we rented a house in St. John, but I’ve never been so happy to make a mistake. The view is better than the pictures, the house is set perfectly to never need the AC, and the management was kind enough to leave us a map with some “must see” suggestions at check-in. My wife and I have found our little slice of heaven, and are in the process of planning our return trip before the end of the year. This home will be on the top of our list when we get settled on a return date!
