Amazing home! The rental was in the perfect location, close to Cruz Bay yet in a quiet, private areas. And the view cannot be beat. The home was well maintained and had everything a traveler could possibly need. And the two fridges are a game changer. I cannot recommend this rental enough - gave my family a trip of a lifetime!

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.

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.

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.

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!
