The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos can help travelers from Scammon Bay plan a week of exploring the island, with villas at the Westin St John Resort rented by the week. Our local team answers questions before you book, so you can settle the details first.

Scammon Bay sits on the western coast of Alaska, where the land is open, the sky is often gray, and winters bring long stretches of cold. For many people from here, St. John offers a different kind of season altogether, with warm air, clear water, and a slower pace that feels far removed from home. A week on the island gives you enough time to settle in and really look around rather than rushing from one thing to the next. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a private base for that week, with room to spread out after a day of exploring. You can cook a simple meal, sit outside in the evening, and come back to a place that feels like your own. Taking time to think through how you will move around the island and what you want from each day makes the whole trip feel less like a checklist and more like a real change of pace.

Planning your trip from Scammon Bay

1. Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, using the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan for a few connections, keep your bags light enough to carry on the ferry, and remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, which takes a little getting used to.
2. Choosing when to go. Leaving Scammon Bay for the islands means trading a cold season for a warm one, so think about which kind of weather you want to step into. Many travelers from Alaska enjoy the change most during the colder months at home, when the contrast feels especially welcome. Consider what you hope to do each day, whether that is swimming, hiking, or simply resting, and let that guide your timing.
3. Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a seven-day exploration of the island well. Decide early how you will get around, what you want to see, and which days you would like to leave open. Write down your must-do list, then leave space for the unplanned moments that often turn into the best memories. Our team can talk through the options with you before you book.
