The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from St. Mary's, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, and they answer questions before you book your villa at the Westin St John Resort.
St. Mary's sits in the western part of Alaska, where winters run long and cold, so a week of warm water and sandy shoreline can feel like a complete change of scenery. Many travelers from this part of the state find that the contrast is exactly the point, and that a stay on the island is a chance to slow down and spend the days in the water. The Westin St John Resort is the setting for these villa rentals, which are booked by the week and give you a home base for snorkeling trips and lazy afternoons on the sand. Because the stay is organized around the sea, the planning can focus on what matters most to you, whether that is reef time, quiet mornings, or simply having a kitchen and a place to rest between swims.

Planning your trip from St. Mary's
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, the airport code is STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook, where the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Expect a little travel on both ends, so pack light and keep your snorkel gear in your carry-on if you can. Once you arrive, remember that driving on St. John is on the left, which may feel unfamiliar at first.
- Choosing your season. Travelers from northern Alaska often prefer to leave during the darkest part of their winter, when a warm, sunny week feels most welcome. The island is warm and fairly steady across the year, so the timing is more about your own schedule and budget than about the weather. Talk through your preferred dates with our team before you commit to anything.
- Planning the week. Think about how you want your days to flow, from early snorkeling before the wind picks up to long beach afternoons with a book. Choose a villa that suits your group, and let the weekly rental structure guide how many days you spend on the water versus resting. A little planning ahead keeps the week relaxed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to rent a car on St. John?
Many visitors do, since the island is hilly and getting around by foot can be tiring after a day of swimming. Keep in mind that you will drive on the left side of the road. If you would rather not drive, our team can talk through the options with you before you book your villa.
Is a week long enough for snorkeling and beach days?
For most people from St. Mary's, a full week gives room to settle in, try different spots along the coast, and take a few slower days without feeling rushed. Villa rentals are arranged by the week, which suits this kind of trip well. Ask our team what they usually recommend for travelers coming from so far north.
