The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, and they can help travelers from Orchid, Florida plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at the Westin St John Resort.
Orchid sits in central Florida, where summers are warm and humid and the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are close enough to feel like a second backyard. Many people who live here already know how to spend a relaxed day on the sand, yet a week built around snorkeling in clear warm water is a different kind of trip. St. John, in the US Virgin Islands, is a place where the reef is often the main attraction and the beach is the place you return to between swims. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base with a kitchen, room to spread out, and a pace set by you rather than by a hotel schedule. You can plan mornings in the water while the light is good, lazy afternoons on the sand, and simple dinners on your own terms. The rest of this page covers how to get there, when to go, and how to plan the stay.

Your path from Orchid to a snorkeling week
- Reaching the island. Most visitors from Florida fly into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there a taxi takes you to Red Hook, and a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little extra time for the ferry and keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left, so many guests prefer to walk or take taxis for the first few days.
- Choosing your season. Florida winters are mild, but the Virgin Islands stay warm year round, so you can pick a season for water conditions and crowd levels rather than for temperature. Many travelers from Orchid prefer the quieter months for calmer snorkeling and easier bookings. Ask the St John Condos team which weeks suit your plans before you commit to dates.
- Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which fits a snorkeling trip well because you can settle into a routine. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a good mask, and a dry bag for the ferry. Leave some open days so that the best snorkeling spots, and the tired afternoons, can shape the rest of the week.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to rent a car to get around St. John?
Many guests from Orchid choose to rent a car, but you should remember that driving on St. John is on the left and the roads are steep and winding. If you would rather not drive, taxis are available, and the St John Condos team can tell you what to expect before you arrive.
Can I bring my own snorkel gear from Florida?
Yes, most travelers bring their own mask, snorkel, and fins to save space for other things and to get a fit they already trust. Bringing a dry bag for your gear is a sensible idea, and the team at St John Condos can answer any questions about the villa before you book.
