The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Miami Shores, Florida, plan a first trip to the Caribbean, from getting to the island to choosing a villa at the Westin St John Resort. Ask us anything before you book.
Miami Shores sits on the Atlantic side of Florida, so for many families a trip to the Caribbean feels closer than it might seem from other parts of the country. The water is warm, the sky is often bright, and the pace of life on the islands can feel very different from the city. For a first visit, that contrast is part of the appeal, and it helps to plan with that in mind. Your first trip does not need to be complicated. Most visitors reach St. John by flying to St. Thomas, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Once you arrive, a rental car is the usual way to get around, and it is worth remembering that driving on St. John is on the left. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you room to unwind after that short journey.

Your first Caribbean trip from Miami Shores
- Getting to St. John. Most travelers from the Miami Shores area fly to St. Thomas, which is the closest airport for the island, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay. Plan your connections with a little slack, since island transfers are simple but worth leaving room for, especially on a first visit.
- Choosing when to go. Florida and the Virgin Islands share a warm climate, but the Caribbean has its own rhythm of seasons and weather. Think about when you can take time off, how much heat and rain you are comfortable with, and whether you want a quieter stretch of the year. Our team can talk through the timing with you before you commit to dates.
- Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a first trip well because it gives you time to settle in rather than rush from place to place. Think about how many people are coming, what you want from the mornings and evenings, and whether a rental car is part of your plan. Villa Rentals can be booked with plenty of room for the kind of slow days the island is known for.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to rent a car on St. John?
Many visitors do, because getting around the island is easier with your own vehicle. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, which can feel unusual at first. Plan on a little extra care at the start of your trip, and ask our team about what to expect before you arrive.
Is a villa a good choice for a first trip from Florida?
For many families and small groups it is. Villas are rented by the week, so you have space to settle in, cook a few meals, and enjoy the setting without a tight schedule. Our local team can help you decide whether a villa suits the people traveling with you.
