The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Matanuska-Susitna Borough plan a week of exploring the island, with villas at the Westin St John Resort rented by the week and questions answered before you book.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough sits in the western part of the country, where long winters and wide open country shape daily life. Many residents who make the trip to the Virgin Islands are looking for a change of scenery that feels entirely different from home. A full week on St. John gives you room to slow down, settle into a routine, and see more of the island than a short visit ever allows. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and catching the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. From there you can rent a car, but keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a base that feels like home for the length of your stay, with space to unpack and plan each day at your own pace.

Planning Your Week from Matanuska-Susitna Borough
- Getting From Home. Start by looking at how you will reach St. Thomas, the airport most visitors use. From there, a taxi will take you to Red Hook, where the passenger ferry departs for Cruz Bay on St. John. Traveling from Matanuska-Susitna Borough usually involves a few connections, so build in a bit of flexibility and plan your bags with the ferry and taxi in mind.
- Choosing Your Travel Season. Matanuska-Susitna Borough winters are cold and dark, which makes the warm Caribbean climate especially appealing during those months. Many travelers from Alaska prefer to visit when the northern weather is at its harshest. Think about what kind of week you want, whether that is a quiet stretch of rest or a busier schedule of outings, and choose the time of year that suits you best.
- Planning Your Stay. Once you have chosen your dates, consider how you want to spend the week. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a longer trip well. Decide which days you want for beaches, hiking, and quiet time on the porch, and leave some open space for spontaneity. Reach out to the St John Condos team with any questions before you book, and they will help you fit the stay to your plans.
