The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book a villa at the Westin St John Resort, and many first-time Caribbean travelers from Seward find that a short conversation makes the whole trip easier to picture.

Seward sits on the edge of Resurrection Bay in southern Alaska, a place of cold water, mountain views, and long winters. If you have spent your life in that climate, the idea of a warm Caribbean island can feel both exciting and a little unfamiliar. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and it offers a slower pace, clear water, and the kind of quiet that many travelers from northern states say they did not expect. This page is written for that first trip. You will find a plain account of how most visitors reach the island, what to think about when choosing a season, and how a villa rental through Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort can shape the days you spend there. Nothing here is meant to overwhelm you. It is simply a starting point for planning with the St John Condos team.

Your first Caribbean trip from Seward

  1. Getting to the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little extra time for connections, since travel from Alaska is rarely direct, and keep your documents close at hand for each leg of the journey.
  2. Choosing when to go. The islands stay warm year round, so the choice of season is more about rainfall, crowds, and your own schedule than about temperature. Many Seward travelers who are used to long dark winters enjoy visiting when the days feel most like summer at home. Think about what kind of trip you want and let the St John Condos team help you weigh the options.
  3. Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which gives you room to settle in rather than rushing from place to place. Keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, so take a moment to adjust before heading out. Use Villa Rentals to compare layouts and ask questions before you commit to dates.

Frequently asked questions

Is the trip from Seward a difficult one to plan?

It takes some care, but it is manageable. Flights usually route through a larger hub before reaching St. Thomas, then a taxi and ferry bring you to St. John. The St John Condos team can talk through each step with you before you book, so nothing about the journey feels like a surprise.

Do I need to rent a car on St. John?

Many guests find a rental car useful for getting around the island, but you will need to drive on the left. If that feels unfamiliar, ask the team about the layout of your villa and the surrounding area so you can decide what suits you best before you arrive.
