The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, and for travelers from Emmitsburg, Maryland, a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John starts with a clear plan. Villas at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week, which suits a slower pace.
Emmitsburg sits in the Southeast region of the United States, in the state of Maryland, so a trip to the Caribbean is a real change of scenery. The water on St. John is warm and clear for much of the year, and a week gives you room to settle in, find a favorite snorkeling spot, and let the days follow their own rhythm without a packed itinerary. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which has its own airport, and then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. It is a simple sequence once you know it, and the team at St John Condos can walk you through each step before you commit to any dates.

Getting from Emmitsburg to St. John
- Reaching St. Thomas. Start with a flight from the Maryland area to St. Thomas, the airport code is STT. Check with a travel agent or your usual booking site for connections that suit you. Once you land, plan on a taxi ride to Red Hook, then board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Keep your luggage manageable, since the ferry is a walk-on crossing.
- Timing your departure. Choose your travel dates with the seasons in mind. Winters in Maryland are cold, so many travelers from Emmitsburg are glad to leave in the colder months and arrive to warm air and water. Hurricane season runs through the late summer and early fall, so ask about weather patterns before you lock in a week. Booking early helps you keep the dates you want.
- Planning your stay. A week of snorkeling and beach days works well in a villa. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort are offered by the week, which gives you a kitchen, space to spread out, and time to plan each day around the water. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so consider how you will get around before you arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car to enjoy beach days on St. John?
Many visitors rent a vehicle to reach different beaches, but you can also rely on taxis and walking within the Cruz Bay area. Keep in mind that you will drive on the left side of the road. The team at St John Condos can tell you what to expect so you can decide what fits your week.
Is a villa better than a hotel room for a week of snorkeling?
A villa gives you more space, a kitchen for simple breakfasts, and a place to rinse gear after a day in the water. Villa Rentals are offered by the week, which matches the length of a snorkeling-focused trip. St John Condos can answer specific questions about what each villa includes before you book.
