The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Larsen Bay, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, with villas rented by the week at the Westin St John Resort. Ask us anything before you book.
Larsen Bay sits on the Kodiak Island side of Alaska, a long way from warm water and white sand. For many people who live there, a week of snorkeling and lazy beach days on St. John is a welcome change from long, dark winters and cold ocean swims. The contrast is part of the appeal, and it is worth planning with a clear head so the trip feels relaxed rather than rushed. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base for that week, with room to unpack, cook a few meals, and step out to the water at your own pace. Renting by the week suits a trip like this, because the days tend to run together in the best way. St John Condos is happy to talk through what kind of villa and stay might fit your plans.

Planning Your Trip from Larsen Bay
- Reaching the Island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which uses airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little extra room for connections, since travel from a remote part of Alaska can take more than one leg. Keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road.
- Picking Your Season. Alaska winters are cold and dark, so many people from Larsen Bay enjoy leaving during the colder months for the warm Caribbean water. Think about when you want the most sunshine for snorkeling and when you would rather travel with fewer crowds. Our team can help you line up dates that suit your schedule and your comfort with heat and humidity.
- Planning the Stay. A week gives you enough time to settle in, find your favorite snorkeling spots, and enjoy a few slow beach afternoons without feeling pressed. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort are booked by the week, so decide early how many nights you want. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, and a good mask, and let us know what you are hoping for before you book.
Frequently asked questions
Is a week long enough for snorkeling and beach days on St. John?
For most people, a week gives a good balance of time in the water and time to rest. You can visit different beaches, take a few slow mornings, and still have days left over for simply reading on the lanai. If you have a longer trip in mind, tell us and we can help you think through the options.
Do I need to rent a car when I stay on St. John?
Many visitors rent a vehicle to explore the island, and it is useful to know that driving is on the left. Roads on St. John are winding and hilly, so take your time and go easy on the first day. Our team can share practical tips on getting around before you arrive.
