Spent a week with family (3 couples) at Southern Cross and it was beautiful. the property is very comfortable with awesome views and amenities. Arrival was super easy. Plenty of parking for several cars in driveway. Property was super clean with plenty of pool towels and beach chairs. The master suite bedrooms were great for our 3 couples. Kitchen and outdoor dining setup was excellent, as we cooked out on several nights under the beautiful stars. Easy 8 minute drive to Cruz Bay restaurants and bars. Had a couple of minor maintenance issues, but host was very responsive so never became a problem. Benjamin was easy to reach and communications with him were productive. Overall a great stay in St John.

Southern Cross is a beautiful villa that was perfect for our extended family of 8. We had two children and senior citizens in our group and Southern Cross was perfect for all of us.

We had a perfect family vacation! Drew was a super host, answered all our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Allison was great too and gave us lots of good tips. The Tesla backup was PRICELESS and the view is incredible! I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve been to St. John multiple times and this was by far our best trip.

Amazing property in a beautiful location with incredible views. The home itself was exactly what we hoped for and made for a wonderful vacation once we settled in.The only challenge came before check-in due to some internal issues between the owner and caretaker that unfortunately spilled into our arrival experience. While traveling, we were informed by the caretaker that he had not been paid for sometime and he was considering not sending the cleaners before our arrival. At that point, we honestly were unsure if we would have a place to stay and were preparing to contact VRBO.Thankfully, once we landed, both the owner and caretaker, Drew, communicated with us. In the end, our stay was excellent and both parties were very nice to work with. We truly hope everything gets worked out moving forward because this property really is special and you can tell that Drew is very passionate about making sure the guests have a wonderful experience.

The house was lovely, decorated beautifully, high-quality throughout and is sited perfectly, convenient to Cruz Bay but also has all the amenities for staying at home. Lovely views of both the quiet bay and the ocean. No AC was needed because of the breeze off the ocean. The pool is perfect for a late afternoon dip after a day at the beaches. All of the outdoor furniture provides plenty of spaces to relax. While much of the island struggled with no power with a rare 40-hour outage, the solar provided plenty for our needs - AC at night, hot showers, lights, etc. Each bedroom suite has its own mini split. The owner was great to work with and was always very attentive to questions leading up to and during the trip and he periodically checked in with me. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!!

Absolutey loved our time at Southern Cross! Beautiful views, can hear the waves below and feels private nestled on the cliffside. Enjoyed time by pool as much as the beach. House is well organized and stocked. Traveling with our 3 adult children, plus 1s and toddler granddaughter we so appreciated the abundance of beach chairs and small & large coolers. Drew was extremely responsive & friendly. Great stay all around and we hope to come back again.

House was great, kitchen was well stocked for being able to cook. They had some spices, filters for coffee pot, aluminum foil for cooking and a good amount of Tupperware for any leftovers. One of the fridges wasn’t working when we arrived but was working a few days prior to us leaving. The dryer stopped working mid trip but luckily they had an additional one downstairs we were able to use. The only thing that we were unaware of or didn’t notice while booking was that two out of the four rooms were downstairs and not connected to the house upstairs. To access downstairs room you have to go outside and down the patio stairs. The rooms down below were of great size, had full bathrooms and AC worked great in all rooms. This was our only issue because the kids didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in the rooms down below. Drew was great, easy to get a hold of and any issues that arise he was prompt with resolving. One of our kids left behind their Apple Watch, the housekeepers found it and let Drew know. He contacted us immediately and offered to ship it out to us free of charge. All the furniture and beds were comfortable, and the pillows were also good. Lots of outdoor seating and lounge chairs for tanning. Pool was a good size and had a deep in, not to mention the spectacular view that could be seen from any area outside. House was also close to town and grocery stores as well.

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!

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!

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!
