Fairbanks North Star Borough sits in the interior of Alaska, where winters are long and cold and the summers are short and bright. For many people from here, a beach holiday is a deliberate change of scenery, a chance to trade snow boots for sandals and a quiet morning for warm water and soft sand. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and its beaches are the center of daily life there. Staying in a villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you room to spread out, cook a simple breakfast, and walk down to the shore whenever the mood strikes, which is exactly the kind of unhurried rhythm a beach trip should offer.
Everything here is meant to save you time.

Planning a beach trip from Fairbanks North Star Borough
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook, where the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. If you plan to drive on the island, remember that traffic keeps to the left. Many people prefer to leave the car behind and enjoy the walk and the shuttle options instead.
- Choosing your season. Alaska winters are harsh, so many travelers from Fairbanks North Star Borough aim for the cooler months of the year when they most want relief from cold. Think about what matters most to you, whether that is calm water, fewer crowds, or simply the feeling of being somewhere warm when the northern dark is at its deepest. The island has a warm climate year round.
- Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a beach trip well because it gives you time to settle in and let the pace slow. Think about how many people are coming, whether you want a kitchen for simple meals, and how close you want to be to the sand. St John Condos can talk through these choices with you before you book, so the villa you pick fits the trip you have in mind.
Frequently asked questions
Is a week at a villa enough time for a beach trip from Alaska?
For most travelers coming from Fairbanks North Star Borough, a week gives you enough time to rest, swim, and settle into the island pace.

Do I need to rent a car to enjoy the beaches?
You do not have to rent a car, since many visitors spend their beach days close to where they stay and get around on foot or by shuttle. If you do choose to drive, keep in mind that traffic runs on the left. St John Condos can explain the getting-around options before you book your Villa Rentals.
