The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos can answer your questions about villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort before you book, so a Sarasota traveler looking to trade a gray Florida winter for Caribbean sun can plan with confidence.

Sarasota sits on Florida's Gulf coast, where winters are mild and pleasant for most people. Still, many of its residents find themselves longing for a different kind of warmth, the kind that comes with clear water, trade winds, and a slower rhythm. St. John, in the US Virgin Islands, offers exactly that, and it is a place where a winter escape can feel like a complete change of scenery. A villa stay at the Westin St John Resort gives you room to spread out, cook a few meals, and settle into the island at your own pace. Villas are rented by the week, which suits travelers who want time to unwind rather than rush from one stop to the next. Our local team is glad to talk through what that might look like for you.

  • Coverage: Florida. Open to people across the state.

Escaping Sarasota's Winter

  1. Getting to St. John. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has 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 extra room in your day for the transfers, pack light enough to manage the ferry, and keep your travel documents handy. Our team can walk you through each leg before you commit.
  2. Choosing when to leave. Think about what kind of winter escape you want before you pick your dates. Some travelers prefer to leave as soon as the first cold snap arrives in Florida, while others wait for the holiday rush to settle down. Consider how much you want to be on the island during peak weeks and whether you would rather have calmer streets and easier bookings. Tell us what matters most to you and we will help you find a window that fits.
  3. Planning your villa stay. Once you know your dates, look closely at how each villa suits your group, including bedrooms, outdoor space, and how easily you can settle in. Because villas are rented by the week, think about whether you want a full week or a shorter stretch that still gives you time to rest. Driving on St. John is on the left, so consider whether you will rent a car or rely on other ways of getting around. Ask us anything before you book.

Frequently asked questions

Is a villa stay better than a hotel room for a winter trip from Sarasota?

It depends on how you like to travel. A villa gives you more space, a kitchen for simple meals, and a home base that feels like your own. If you value room to stretch out after a long Florida winter, a villa often fits that wish well. Our team can help you compare options and decide what suits your group.

Do I need to plan my island transportation ahead of time?

Yes, it helps to think about getting around before you arrive. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, which may take a little adjustment if you are used to driving on the right. Tell us your plans and we can share what to consider so your arrival and daily travel go smoothly.
