The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Ridgecrest, Florida, plan a week away with friends at villas beside the Westin St John Resort. Our local team answers questions before you book, so your group can settle on the details with confidence.
A week with friends is one of the easiest trips to plan when everyone has a shared home base. Villas let your group spend time together around a kitchen table, on a shaded terrace, or by the pool, instead of splitting up between separate hotel rooms. For a group leaving Ridgecrest, that shared space often makes the whole trip feel more relaxed from the first morning. Because villas are rented by the week, your group can settle in without packing and unpacking every few days. Many friends find that a slower pace suits them best, with mornings for swimming, afternoons for long lunches, and evenings for simple dinners at home. Talk with the St John Condos team early and they will help you match the right villa to the size of your group and the kind of week you want.

Planning your week from Ridgecrest
- Getting to St. John. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there, a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little slack into your schedule for the transfers, and share the taxi and ferry arrangements with everyone in your group so no one is left waiting at the dock.
- Choosing when to leave. Florida friends are used to warm weather, but island timing still matters. Think about which weeks suit your group's calendars, and whether you prefer a quieter stretch or a busier one. Talk through the options with the St John Condos team, who can help you weigh the season against your plans before you commit to dates.
- Planning the stay. Decide early who is responsible for groceries, who handles the rental car, and how shared costs will be split. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so make sure every driver in your group is comfortable with it. A short planning call with the team before you arrive can save a lot of back-and-forth once everyone is on island.
