The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Silver Springs, Alaska, plan a first trip to the Caribbean, with villas rented by the week at the Westin St John Resort on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. Our local team answers questions before you book.

A first trip to the Caribbean can feel like a big step when you are coming from a place as far north as Silver Springs. The water, the light and the slower pace are often quite different from anything you know at home. Many travelers from Alaska find that a little planning turns that unfamiliar feeling into real comfort. This page walks through the practical side so the trip feels like something you chose on purpose. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and the Westin St John Resort sits on it with a range of Villa Rentals that suit couples, families and friends traveling together. Driving here is on the left, which surprises many first-time visitors, so it helps to know that before you arrive. We are a local team, and we are happy to talk through any of these details before you commit to anything.

Getting from Silver Springs to St. John

  1. Reaching the islands. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which is 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 in your schedule for connections, since travel from Alaska usually involves more than one flight. Keep your luggage manageable, because the ferry and taxi stages are easier with fewer bags.
  2. Picking your season. Silver Springs has long, cold winters, so many travelers from Alaska are drawn to the islands during the darker months at home. The Caribbean stays warm year round, though rainy spells can come and go. Think about what you want most from the trip, whether that is sun, quiet mornings or a break from the cold. Our team can talk through the timing so your choice matches your expectations.
  3. Planning your villa stay. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort are booked by the week, which gives you room to settle in rather than rushing from place to place. Think about who is coming, how much space you need and whether you want a car. Because you are arriving from far away, leaving a few unplanned days can help you adjust. Ask us anything before booking, and we will help you find the right fit.
