The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, and many travelers from Homer, Alaska, come to St. John for a week of snorkeling and beach days at the Westin St John Resort area.
Homer sits on the Kenai Peninsula, where cold winters and long, bright summers shape how people spend their time. For many travelers from here, a week on St. John offers a welcome change: warm water, sand underfoot, and a slower rhythm that feels far removed from a northern town. Snorkeling and lazy beach days are the heart of that kind of trip, and the Caribbean setting makes them easy to enjoy from morning until evening. Villa Rentals can be a comfortable way to stay on St. John, especially if you want room to unwind between swims. Renting a villa by the week gives you a place to rinse your gear, cook a simple breakfast, and return to a quiet space after a day in the water. Think about what matters most to you before you book, and let the local team help you match your plans with the right home.

Getting from Homer to St. John
- Reach St. Thomas first. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, using the airport code STT. From the airport, a taxi will take you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Plan for a mix of flights and connections coming from Alaska, and keep your bags light enough to manage the ferry dock with ease.
- Pick your season. Homer's winters are cold, so many travelers from here choose to leave for the islands during the darker months. The Caribbean stays warm year round, which means you can plan for calm seas and clear water whenever suits your schedule. Consider when you can be away from work and home, and then choose the stretch of the year that fits you best.
- Plan the stay. Book a villa for the length of your visit, and talk with St John Condos before you commit. Ask about the snorkeling access, the layout of the grounds, and how close you will be to the beach. Note that driving on St. John is on the left, so plan your rental car or taxi use with that in mind before arriving.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car on St. John?
It depends on how you like to move around. Driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, which takes some getting used to. Many travelers from Homer prefer to rely on taxis for short trips and only rent a car for days they plan to explore further, so think about your beach plans before you decide.
Is a villa better than a hotel room for a snorkeling week?
A villa gives you extra space to store wet gear, prepare simple meals, and relax without rushing. Villa Rentals are rented by the week, which suits a longer beach stay well. If you want a quieter base between swims, a villa may suit you better, and the St John Condos team can help you compare options.
