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 Location with Plenty of Room

We were at Southern Cross for 13 days. The first 6 days with family which included 2 teenage girls, 13&15, the last 7 days with 5 adult friends. The listing doesn't tell you the second floor of the house isn't reachable from the first unless you go outside and down some stairs. Then the two smaller bedrooms downstairs do not connect but are separate units. This wasn't important for us but it might be for those with younger kids. You can't beat the views! Absolutely stunning! The kitchen has everything you need if, like our family, you don't go out to eat every meal. There was plenty of outdoor sitting space and everyone enjoyed being outside whether it was just sitting around visiting or utilizing the pool. We personally thought they might have included extra pillows in the bedrooms and a couple of throws. Some of us were hot natured and some cooler. Given the living area outside of the bedrooms is not air conditioned we needed to keep doors open for much needed air circulation which wasn't conducive to all.The only other issue we thought someone might like to be made aware of is the driveway's width makes it difficult to turn a jeep around which is necessary in order to leave the property. It was quite an ordeal every time we left! ( and we had two jeeps.) There were a couple of times we had to call Drew ( the host) for questions or some small issue and he was always accessible and responded immediately. We would definitely return to The Southern Cross!

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.

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!

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.

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!

60th Birthday Celebration

There were 8 adults in our group and we we never felt too crowded. Great location for enjoying St. John...close enough to town, groceries, beaches, everything. The house needs a little updating/love, but it had what we needed for a fantastic week with friends and family. If you want to hire a chef, highly recommend Chef Ted/Ted's Supper Club. One of the best meals we've ever had! And we love to eat!

AMAZING House!!

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!!!

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.

Beautiful Location

We absolutely enjoyed our time at this property. It is located close to Cruz Bay, is secluded and the views are breathtaking. They house is very unique and has a ton of space. The pool was a great place to start and end our day. Katja was easily accessible for any and all questions. They were able to stock our kitchen with the provisions we asked for abs gave us some recommendations on different places to eat and charter companies to book with. When we come back to St. John we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views

The views could not be equaled. The house still needs updated. I know the ownership and management has just changed, and believe that will make a difference. The new owner needs to purchase a sun blanket for the pool - electricity being too expensive, and update the beach chairs - I would add an inexpensive sentient as well. Overall would rent again.
