The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Port Deposit, Maryland, plan a first trip to the Caribbean, with villas at the Westin St John Resort rented by the week and a local team ready to answer questions before you book.

A first trip to the Caribbean can feel like a big leap from Port Deposit. The water is warmer than what you are used to on the Chesapeake, the air is softer in winter, and the pace of island life tends to be slower than the one you bring from home. Most people who go for the first time find that the planning is the part that takes the most thought, so it helps to start with a few clear decisions. St John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and it is reached in a simple way that many first-time visitors find reassuring. You fly to St. Thomas, airport code STT, take a taxi to Red Hook, and board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. From there, a villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you a quiet base with room to unpack, cook a meal, and settle in before you explore.

Your first Caribbean trip, from Port Deposit

  1. Getting to St. John. Most travelers from Maryland fly into St. Thomas, airport code STT. From the airport, take a taxi to Red Hook and catch the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Keep your bags light for the ferry, and remember that driving on St. John is on the left, which is worth practicing before you take the wheel of a rental car.
  2. Choosing when to go. Winters in Maryland are cold, so many people from Port Deposit look toward the islands in the cooler months when the Caribbean feels especially inviting. Think about your own schedule, school breaks, and how much heat you enjoy. Once you have a window in mind, you can narrow down your options with the St John Condos team before committing.
  3. Planning your stay. Villa Rentals are rented by the week, which suits a first visit well because it gives you time to settle in rather than rushing from place to place. Decide roughly how you want your days to feel, whether that means beach time, quiet mornings on a terrace, or a few planned outings. A relaxed plan leaves room for the island to surprise you.
