The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos can help travelers from Gretna, Florida, plan a full week on St. John, from the flight into St. Thomas to the ferry across to Cruz Bay, and answer questions before you book your villa.

Gretna sits in the Florida Panhandle, where the Gulf air is warm for much of the year. A week on St. John can feel like a natural extension of that sunshine, only with clearer water and a slower pace. Many travelers from this part of Florida find the island easy to settle into once the trip actually begins. Planning a stay here means thinking about a few practical pieces at once: the route in, the season you pick, and the kind of home base you want for your days. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you room to spread out, cook a few meals, and treat the island as more than a single outing. Our team is glad to talk through any of these choices with you before you commit.

Your week on St. John, starting from Gretna

  1. Getting to the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little extra time for the transfers and keep your bags light, since the ferry and the taxi both move at island pace. Confirm the connection details with us before you book.
  2. Choosing when to go. The islands stay warm through most of the year, so the best time to travel often depends on what you want from the week. Travelers from northern states tend to plan around their own winters, while Florida visitors may prefer the drier months for a calmer stretch of sun. Think about crowds, rainfall, and your own schedule, and let us help you weigh those factors.
  3. Planning your villa stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits an island trip well because it gives you a steady base for the whole visit. Decide early how many people are coming, what kind of space you want, and whether you plan to cook. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so think about how much you want to rely on a car. Our local team can walk you through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a car for a week on St. John?

It depends on how you like to travel. Driving on St. John is on the left, which takes a little adjustment for visitors used to Florida roads. Some travelers prefer to stay near the resort and take taxis for short trips. Tell us your plans and we will help you decide what makes sense for your week.

Is a villa better than a hotel room for a week here?

A villa gives you more space, a kitchen for simple meals, and a quieter base for relaxing between outings. Villas are rented by the week, so the whole stay is planned around one home. If you want room to spread out with family or friends, a villa is often the more comfortable choice. We are happy to compare the two with you.
