The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Sunrise, Alaska, plan a first Caribbean trip, including villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. Ask us anything before you book.
Sunrise sits in the West, far from warm water, so a first trip to the Caribbean can feel like a big step. Most of the trip happens in a different climate and a different rhythm of days. St John Condos knows that the planning side can feel like a lot at once, so we keep it simple and answer questions before you commit to anything. The Westin St John Resort on St. John offers villa rentals, which many first-time visitors find easier than a standard hotel room. A villa gives you room to spread out, cook a few meals, and settle into the island at your own pace. Our team can walk you through what a villa stay looks like so you know what to expect before you arrive.

Getting from Sunrise to St. John
- Start with the flight. Most visitors from Sunrise reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, airport code STT. From the airport you take a taxi to Red Hook, then the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan this route with some slack in your day, because island connections rarely run exactly like a city schedule, and having a relaxed first afternoon helps.
- Pick your season. Alaska winters are cold, so many travelers from Sunrise look toward the islands when the home weather turns harsh. The Caribbean stays warm year round, though some months bring more rain and others bring steadier sun. Think about what you want from your first visit, whether that is quiet days, lively weather, or simply a break from the long dark, and choose your timing around that.
- Plan the stay itself. Once you have a date, decide how many nights of Villa Rentals you want and how much you plan to explore beyond the resort grounds. St. John is small, and driving is on the left, so new visitors often feel more comfortable after a calm first day settling in. Ask our team about what is included, what to pack, and how to get around before you book your villa.
