The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Ruby, Alaska, plan a beach trip to St. John, and they answer questions before you book your villa stay at the Westin St John Resort.
Ruby sits in the interior of Alaska, a long way from warm water, so a beach trip from here tends to feel like a true change of scenery. Many families who live in Ruby think first about a quiet week by the ocean when the long northern winter has been especially hard. St. John offers that kind of slow, sandy break, with clear water and a relaxed pace that feels very different from home. Travelers from Ruby often wonder how a beach-focused trip can fit around work, school, and the rhythm of life in a remote Alaska community. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you room to spread out, cook a few meals, and sleep in without a schedule. Our team can talk through what makes sense for your household before you commit to anything.

Planning a beach trip from Ruby
- Getting to St. John. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there, a taxi will take you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, so take a moment to get comfortable before you head out to the beaches.
- Choosing when to leave. Ruby's winters are cold and dark, so many travelers from interior Alaska choose to make the trip during the colder months when a warm beach feels most welcome. Think about your own calendar, your budget, and how you like to spend your days. Our team is happy to talk through which weeks suit your household best.
- Planning your stay. Villas are rented by the week, which gives you a comfortable rhythm for a beach-centered trip. Consider how many people are traveling, whether you want a kitchen for simple meals, and how much time you want for swimming, snorkeling, and rest. Share those details with our team and we will help you pick a villa that fits.
