Waking up every morning to panoramic vistas was a dream come true. It was like being in a postcard-perfect paradise.
Our experience at South Shores was nothing short of exceptional. From the beautiful layout and breathtaking views to the fully stocked kitchen, welcoming amenities, and top-notch customer service, every aspect of our stay was memorable. I highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a truly remarkable vacation experience.

Bullet points of perfection!
Responsive owners for worry free planning.
Perfect location, far away from the hustle but close enough to beaches, Cruz and Coral Bays, and middle island for easy access.
Villa living spaces are so comfortable inside and out. The pictures are spot on. Beach bags with towels prepped and ready as well as a care package from a local deli that was on point. Everything you need for island fun is there.
The views are unreal! Morning, noon and night they strike all your senses. Amazing sunrises with abundant wildlife, always quiet and peaceful. The bay and mountain views filled my photo app. The times spent enjoying the outdoor living, pool lounging, inside relaxing, and cooking dinners with friends were amazing.
We are ready to share our experience with friends!

Excellent views, very private. As described, no surprises! Would highly recommend renting a vehicle as most destinations are a 15-20 drive. We would love to return someday

Four of us stayed 6 days in absolute Paradise!
South Shore Villa is the perfect place to vacation. You would never need to leave the property! The views are incredible, the house is unique and designed to give everyone space and luxury. The welcome and management are over the top and the house was well equipped for all our needs. Highly recommend!!!!

Our party had a very nice stay at South Shore Villa. The views from the property were incredible. Everything we needed was available at the villa. We had a great time exploring the island but were just as happy and comfortable relaxing at the villa.

This villa was sensational, great view, nice location close to town. The climb up to the villa is a bit intense for the novice as it’s way way up.
My wife fell on the first day of our trip and fractured her hip. Fortunately this villa had very few steps to enter it which was a blessing. What a fantastic spot to recover, spent two weeks enjoying the view and the nice cool breeze. Our property manager was super responsive and so helpful with all our needs. We’d definitely stay here again!

We are repeat customers. Property manager very responsive. Not suitable for families with small children or people who have trouble with stairs or hills. Great views.

The view of the villa is almost as perfect as the view from the villa.
Pros: This is our 4th stay on island and by far the nicest villa. It is solid and perfectly designed with a mix of brick and stone, beautiful archways and seating areas at every turn, all adorned with palm trees and beautiful landscapes. The decorating is exactly on point and every room has its own tropical flare.
Everything you need has already been thought of. From books and games, beach bags with towels, and a fully stocked kitchen, they seemed to know what we'd want before we did.
Cons: The villa is so perfect it's hard to leave to go explore the island. Such hard life choices.

Eric from the property management group was of great service on both the front and back end of our stay, going above and beyond. The house was awesome, views, rooms, pool, outdoor space all as advertised. Best equipped kitchen of a rental we've ever experienced. Great recommendation from property management on landlubber logistics to have the house provisioned prior to arrival. Would love to see this house come with a jeep, our rental fell through but we found plenty of work arounds to get us all over the island. Probably not ideal for small kids as all bedrooms are their own entity, but served our needs perfectly.

Has everything you need. Well stocked kitchen. Pool is wonderful. Bedrooms are big, beds comfortable. They have everything you need for a day at the beach. We spent mornings at the dinning room table relaxing , gorgeous views from every location. Afternoons in the pool. Just a wonderful wonderful location.

There were seven of us, all adults, and we have stayed in several villas before on Saint John and this is by far the best one. Everything about the villa was just as described. The views were incredible. Even though the drive to and from town is about 15 minutes and the roads are typical for Saint John (narrow, mountainous and serpentine), you get used to it after a few trips and the villa and location is well worth the ride. The villa was clean and well stocked and has everything you will need including coolers and beach chairs. The furniture is clean, comfortable and high quality. There were plenty of glasses and silverware. I can't think of anything that was missing. The pool is spectacular. The bedrooms and bathrooms and showers were big and comfortable and clean. I only have one minor complaint....the door handle on one of the doors from the living room going out to the porch was missing a screw and kept falling off. Other than that, this villa was perfect!

We had an amazing stay at South Shore Villa! Everything was wonderful! The house was clean and well stocked! So nice to have the bedrooms separate from each other and each with their own bathroom. Outdoor showers were awesome in two of the bedrooms! The views from the balcony and pool area were fantastic! Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise!

Beautiful South Shore Villa
A gorgeous villa with amazing views. Loved the spacious air conditioned living room. So comfortable! Great pool and we loved the outside showers. All bedrooms were super comfortable and nicely decorated. Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need to cook dinner. Nice sound system throughout so you can listen to your music while swimming or cooking. Over all great place, and I have to say this property manager is top notch. I’ve stayed in another villa that he manages and both stays were my best on the island.

Amazing!
This house was awesome! Amazing views of the Caribbean. Is really close to the National Park, and high up to give a feeling of being alone. The pool was great for the kids and there always was some spot of shade. Great breeze on the patio. Would definitely stay again.
5.0
The house is awesome. It was perfect for 4 friends (or 4 couples) as each bedroom is actually like a private suite. We spent most of our time on the top patio overlooking the world. Perfect spot for drinks and conversations.
The pool is lovely too look at but definitely chilly as it was in the shade a lot of the day.
The outdoor showers are really nice. The kitchen is great and bedding was nice.
The drive is the only negative. It's a slow-go as it's very steep and windy with lots of switchbacks. It was stressful for our group and we opted to hire a taxi when we planned to be out after dark.

This beautiful home is exquisite. I loved how all of the bedrooms were like individual Casitas. The outdoor shower was so much fun. The sunrise every morning with my coffee on the porch, and the welcome basket was our first night's dinner. Thank you and we hope to return.

This property was absolutely amazing! The views are to die for and the house and amenities were all top notch. We will definitely stay here again. Check in went super smooth, we were met at the Jeep rental office and lead us to the home. At night time it was completely peaceful but close enough to drive back downtown.

Property is beautiful and described perfectly. We just wished the pool was heated at that elevation. The water was ice cold. We could only stay in it for about 10-15 minutes. Also, it would be nice to have a generator for when the island power goes out- especially for 12 hours. Property management communication was wonderful.
