The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos answers questions from travelers in Fort Meade, Florida, who are planning a first trip to the Caribbean, before any booking is made. Our local team can talk you through villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort.
If you live in Fort Meade and this is your first time heading to the Caribbean, the trip can feel like a lot to take in at once. Between airports, ferries, and an island where you drive on the left, it helps to have a plan that makes sense before you pack. Florida is a comfortable starting point for an island trip, since the warm air and water will feel familiar even as the surroundings change. St John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and most visitors reach it by flying into St. Thomas, taking a taxi to Red Hook, and riding the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Renting a villa for the week gives you room to slow down, cook a few meals, and settle into island pace. We are a local team, so ask us anything before you commit to dates or a stay.

Your first Caribbean trip from Fort Meade
- Getting from Fort Meade. Most people from the Fort Meade area fly out of a larger Florida airport and connect toward St. Thomas, which is the usual gateway to St. John. From the airport on St. Thomas, a taxi will take you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan for a day of travel and keep your bags light enough to carry on the ferry.
- Choosing when to leave Florida. Florida's warm months are the heaviest time for both heat and summer rain, while the drier winter months draw many visitors from across the country. Think about what you want most from the trip, whether that is calm water, quiet beaches, or simply a break from cold weather elsewhere. A short conversation with our team can help you match your dates to the season you prefer.
- Planning the stay. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort are booked by the week, which suits a first visit well. Choose a villa that fits how you like to travel, and consider whether you want a car, since driving on the left takes some getting used to. Pack for a warm climate, bring sun protection, and leave room in your plans for slow mornings.
