The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help a Stratford Downtown family of three generations plan a shared villa stay at the Westin St John Resort, including how to combine travel from Connecticut with the ferry ride to Cruz Bay.
A family trip that spans three generations asks for a different kind of planning. Grandparents want comfort and an easy pace, parents want time to relax while keeping an eye on everyone, and children want room to explore. From Stratford Downtown, the journey to St. John usually begins with a flight to St. Thomas, followed by a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Knowing that sequence in advance lets you pack lightly, plan rest stops, and make the first day feel unhurried rather than rushed. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give a multigenerational group something a hotel room rarely offers: separate spaces under one roof, a kitchen for quiet breakfasts, and a place to gather in the evening without anyone feeling crowded. Villas are rented by the week, which suits families who want to settle in rather than move every few days. Because driving on St. John is on the left, you may prefer to plan outings with that in mind, especially if an older relative is riding along.

Planning a shared trip from Stratford Downtown
- Getting there together. Begin by mapping how your group will reach St. Thomas, since most visitors fly into STT and then take a taxi to Red Hook for the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Ask whether everyone can manage bags, stairs, and a boat transfer. If mobility is a concern for a grandparent, mention it early so the group can arrange a comfortable route and plenty of time between connections.
- Choosing the season. Connecticut winters are cold, so many families from Stratford Downtown find that a warm-weather trip to the islands feels especially welcome during the colder months. Think about what each generation values most, whether that is calm water for little ones, cooler mornings for older travelers, or quieter weeks for everyone. Talk through the options together, and let the group settle on the timing before you lock in a villa.
- Planning the stay. Once your dates are set, choose a villa that gives each generation room to retreat. Talk through shared meals, quiet mornings, and separate afternoons so no one feels obligated to do everything together. Reach out to the St John Condos team with questions about layouts and access before you book, so the stay fits your family rather than the other way around.
Frequently asked questions
Is a villa really better than a hotel for a three-generation family?
For many families it is. A villa gives grandparents a quiet space, parents a place to unwind, and children room to play without disturbing anyone. A kitchen means breakfasts and snacks happen on your own schedule, which often makes the whole week more relaxed for everyone involved.
What should we plan for the trip from Connecticut?
Most travelers from Stratford Downtown fly to St. Thomas, take a taxi to Red Hook, and catch the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Pack carry-on bags for the ferry, confirm everyone's documents in advance, and allow a relaxed pace on arrival day. The St John Condos team can answer specific questions about getting from the airport before you book.
