The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Petersburg, Alaska, plan a beach-focused trip to St. John, where villas at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week. Ask the local team anything before you book.
Petersburg sits in the Southeast part of Alaska, a town of fishing boats, harbor water and evergreen hills, and for many people who live there the sight of open, warm water is something to look forward to. A beach-centered trip to St. John offers the opposite of a northern winter: soft sand, clear shallows and a slower pace built around the shore. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base close to the water, so mornings can start with a walk down to the sand rather than a rushed plan. Because you are coming from a cold, wet climate, the appeal of St. John is easy to understand. The island is part of the US Virgin Islands and enjoys warm weather through most of the year, which means a beach trip can center on swimming, reading, and long lunches rather than on heavy packing for the cold. Your villa works as a quiet retreat between days on the sand, with space to unpack, rinse off the salt, and settle in without hotel-style crowding.

Planning your beach trip from Petersburg
- Getting from Petersburg. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there, a taxi takes you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan for a few connections, keep your bags light, and confirm your ferry and taxi arrangements with the St John Condos team before you travel so the last stretch of the trip feels easy.
- Choosing when to go. Leaving a northern state for the islands makes timing matter less than comfort, since the weather on St. John stays warm through much of the year. Think about how much rain you want to avoid, how crowded you want the beaches to be, and whether you prefer a quieter off-season stay. Once you know your priorities, you can settle on dates that fit your schedule and your appetite for sun.
- Planning your stay. Villas at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week, which suits a beach trip well because it gives you time to fall into a routine. Think about who is coming, what you want for meals, and whether you plan to drive. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road. Send your questions to St John Condos before you book, and they will help you match the villa to your plans.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a rental car if I am spending most of my time at the beach?
It depends on how far you plan to roam. Many beach-focused guests stay close to the resort and walk or take short trips when they want to explore. If you do want to see more of the island, a car gives you flexibility, but keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left. Ask the St John Condos team what they recommend for your plans.
How do villa rentals compare with staying in a standard hotel room for a beach trip?
Villas give you more room to spread out, a kitchen for simple meals, and a place to rinse sand off and relax between swims. Because villas are rented by the week, they suit travelers who want to settle in rather than move around. The team at St John Condos can explain what is included so you can decide which setup fits your style.
