The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Kensington, Connecticut, plan a week of exploring the island, from the first flight to the last evening on the water. Ask us anything before you book, and we will answer plainly.
Kensington sits in the Northeast, where winters are cold and the days of spring and autumn can turn quickly. Many people who live here picture a week on St. John as a true change of pace, a chance to trade heavy coats for light cotton and a slower rhythm. Planning that week well makes the difference between arriving tired and arriving ready to enjoy the island. Because the island is small and quiet, a week here rewards those who settle in rather than rush from place to place. A villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you room to spread out, cook a few meals, and wake up without a schedule. Our team at St John Condos works with Villa Rentals every day, so we can talk you through what suits your group before anything is final.

Planning a week on St. John from Kensington
- Reaching the island. Most visitors from Kensington 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 slack into your day for the transfers, since the ferry runs on its own pace. Pack a light bag if you can, because carrying luggage down the ferry ramp is easier with fewer pieces.
- Choosing when to leave. Connecticut winters are long, so many travelers from Kensington choose to leave in the colder months, when the islands feel most like an escape. Consider your work calendar, school breaks, and how much warmth you want. The islands stay warm year round, so the choice comes down to crowds, prices, and your own preferences. Our team can share general seasonal notes before you commit to dates.
- Planning the stay. Villa Rentals are typically booked by the week, which suits a seven day trip well. Think about how your group will spend its days, whether that means long beach stretches, hiking, or simply resting on the terrace. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, so ask about rental cars and plan your outings around that. A relaxed plan leaves room for the island to surprise you.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car for a week on St. John?
Many visitors find a car helpful for getting around the island at their own pace, though some prefer taxis for part of the trip. Remember that St. John drives on the left, which takes a little getting used to. Think about how much you plan to explore, then decide. Our team at St John Condos can talk through the options with you before you book.
How far in advance should a family from Kensington book a villa?
