The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps families from Ellenton, Florida plan a shared trip to the Westin St John Resort, where grandparents, parents, and children can settle into villa rentals together and still keep their own space.
A trip with three generations asks for a different kind of planning. Grandparents want a comfortable pace, parents want a bit of quiet after the day, and children want room to run. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort can give each group its own corner while keeping everyone within easy reach of one another, which is why many multigenerational families look to them first. If you are coming from Ellenton, you already know Florida's warm weather, so the island may feel familiar in some ways and new in others. St. John is a small, green place with its own rhythm. Planning ahead, sharing a clear itinerary, and talking openly about what each generation hopes to enjoy will make the week feel relaxed rather than rushed.

Traveling from Ellenton to St. John
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which is the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there, a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. With older relatives and young children, it helps to confirm each leg in advance, keep bags manageable, and ask the St John Condos team for guidance on the connection before you leave home.
- Choosing your departure. Florida's climate is warm for much of the year, so the island's weather may not feel like a major change to you. Still, think about when your family can travel most comfortably. School calendars, grandparents' health needs, and the appeal of quieter seasons on the island all matter. Choosing dates that suit the youngest and the oldest members of the group often makes the whole trip easier.
- Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits multigenerational groups well because everyone can unpack once and settle in. Think about bedroom arrangements, accessible routes, and how much daily driving you want. Driving on St. John is on the left, so plan any rentals with that in mind. Share the plan with everyone early so each generation feels included.
Frequently asked questions
Is a villa a good choice for a family with grandparents and young children?
Often it is. A villa gives each generation some separation, with room to rest or read apart while still sharing meals and time together. Ask the St John Condos team which layouts suit your group, especially if anyone needs single-level access or a quieter bedroom away from the rest of the household.
What should we know about getting around once we arrive?
Driving on St. John is on the left, which may take some adjustment for drivers from Ellenton. Think about who will drive, and whether a shared plan for outings will keep everyone comfortable. The St John Condos team can share practical tips before you book so your group knows what to expect.
