The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Laurel, Florida, plan a first trip to the Caribbean, with villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort and a local team ready to answer questions before you book.
Laurel sits in the Southeast, where warm weather is familiar, but a first trip to the Caribbean brings its own rhythm. The islands feel different from the mainland in their light, their pace, and the way the water changes color near the shore. Many travelers from this part of Florida find that a little planning makes the whole experience feel easy rather than unfamiliar. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and it suits travelers who want quiet days and a slower schedule. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you room to spread out, cook a few meals, and settle in. Staying in a villa for a week lets the island feel like a place you live in for a while, not just a place you visit.

Your first Caribbean trip from Laurel
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there, a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan for this final stretch to take a little patience, and keep your bags light enough to manage on the ferry. Driving on St. John is on the left, so take that into account if you rent a car.
- Choosing when to go. The Caribbean stays warm for much of the year, which is a welcome change for anyone leaving a Florida winter or a humid summer. Think about the weather you prefer, how busy you want the island to feel, and whether your own schedule has flexibility. Lighter travel periods often mean a calmer stay, so consider what kind of rhythm you hope to find before you pick dates.
- Planning your villa stay. Villas are rented by the week, which gives you time to settle in rather than rush from one place to the next. Think about how many people are traveling, which meals you want to cook, and how you plan to get around the island. Write down the things that matter most to you, such as beach time or quiet mornings, and share them with the St John Condos team, who can help you match them to the right villa.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be comfortable with flying a long way to reach St. John?
Most travelers from Florida fly into St. Thomas, then take a taxi and a passenger ferry to reach St. John. It is a few connections rather than a single direct trip, so pack patiently and allow yourself a relaxed start. The St John Condos team can explain each step so the journey feels manageable before you leave home.

A villa rental at the Westin St John Resort gives you space, a kitchen, and a comfortable base for exploring. Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which suits travelers who want to slow down.
