The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Desoto Lakes, Florida, plan a first Caribbean trip to the Westin St John Resort area, with villa rentals booked by the week and local answers before you commit.
If Desoto Lakes is home and the Caribbean is new territory, the first trip can feel like a lot to sort out at once. Flights, island logistics, and the question of where to stay all pile up. You do not need to have it figured out before you ask for help. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort give a first-time visitor room to settle in, with a kitchen, separate spaces, and a pace that suits a slower week. Many people find that a villa feels more like a home base than a hotel room, which is useful when everything around you is unfamiliar.

Getting from Desoto Lakes to St. John
- Fly to St. Thomas. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT. From there, a taxi runs you to Red Hook, where the passenger ferry crosses to Cruz Bay. Keep your travel documents handy and plan on a little time between connections, since island travel moves at its own speed.
- Choose your season. Florida winters are mild by comparison, so many travelers from Desoto Lakes consider the cooler, drier months of the Caribbean a welcome change. The islands are warm year round, though, so the right time depends on how much you value quiet weeks versus busier ones. We can talk through the options with you.
- Plan the stay. Book your villa by the week so you have time to rest, swim, and explore without rushing. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, which is worth practicing before you take the wheel. Tell us what you want from the trip, and we will suggest a villa that fits.
