The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos answers questions for travelers from St. Augustine South, Florida, planning a first Caribbean trip to villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort before you book.
If you live in St. Augustine South, Florida, a first trip to the Caribbean can feel like a big step, especially when the warm water and quiet beaches are so different from the coast you know at home. Florida is already a warm place, so many visitors from here expect the islands to feel familiar. They do not always feel that way, and it helps to know what to expect before you arrive. The Westin St John Resort sits on St. John, one of the US Virgin Islands, and many travelers rent a villa there by the week. A villa gives you a kitchen, room to spread out, and a slower pace than a hotel stay. Our local team can talk through which kind of Villa Rentals suits your group, so the trip fits how you actually like to travel.

Getting from St. Augustine South to St. John
- Reach St. Thomas first. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, using the airport code STT. From there, plan on a taxi ride to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay on St. John. The ferry is the usual way over, and it drops you close to the island's main village. Keep your bags manageable, since you will be carrying them onto the boat and along the dock.
- Pick your season. Florida winters are mild, but the islands run warm all year, so the real question is what kind of weather you want. Many travelers from the Southeast prefer the drier months, when the air feels less humid and the sea breeze is steady. Think about your own tolerance for heat and rain, then choose dates that match it rather than simply copying a friend's plans.
- Plan the stay. Renting a villa by the week gives you a home base for the whole visit. Decide early whether you want to cook most meals, how many people will share the space, and whether you plan to drive. On St. John, driving is on the left, which takes some getting used to. Send your questions to our team before you book, and we will help you match the villa and the schedule to your group.
Frequently asked questions
Is St. John very different from where I live in Florida?
Yes, in a few ways. The island is hilly, the roads are narrow, and driving is on the left. Much of the land is protected, so development is light and the pace is slower. Many visitors from Florida find the calm surprising in a good way, though it helps to arrive expecting a more relaxed rhythm.
Do I need a car for a villa stay?
It depends on how you want to spend your days. Some guests rely on taxis and walking, while others prefer a rental car for exploring the island. Think about your comfort with left-side driving and steep roads, and ask our team which option fits the villa you choose.
