The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Taft, Florida, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort, and the local team is glad to answer questions before you book.
Taft sits in the Southeast, where the weather is warm for much of the year and a week away from the mainland can feel like a real change of pace. For many people from here, the appeal of St. John is simple: clear water, quiet sand, and time to spend in the sea without rushing from one thing to the next. Villa rentals suit a snorkeling trip well because you have a kitchen, a place to rinse gear, and room to spread out after a day in the water. Staying at a villa connected to the Westin St John Resort lets you plan each day around the water rather than around a crowded schedule.

Getting from Taft to St. John
- Fly into St. Thomas. Most visitors from the mainland reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT. From there, a taxi will take you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan for your bags on the ferry, and keep your snorkel gear in a carry-on so it stays with you.
- Pick your departure window. Think about the season before you commit to dates. Summer tends to bring heat and occasional storms, while the drier months are a popular choice for people who want calm water for snorkeling. Ask our team which weeks suit your plans, since they know how the seasons usually feel on the island.
- Plan the week ahead. Rent your villa by the week, then sketch a loose plan: one beach morning, one day for a longer snorkel outing, and some slow afternoons. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so take a moment to adjust if you rent a car. Share your plans with our team and they will help you settle the details.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring my own snorkel gear from Taft?
Many travelers prefer to bring their own mask, fins, and snorkel because the fit matters for a full week in the water. Packing them in your carry-on is a sensible move. Ask our team before you book whether your villa includes any beach gear, so you know what to pack and what to leave behind.
Is a villa better than a hotel room for a snorkeling week?
A villa rental gives you a kitchen, more room to dry wet gear, and a quieter base between beach days. Villa rentals work well for families and friends who want to set their own pace. Our team can talk through the options with you and help you choose what fits your group.
