The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Thorne Bay, Alaska, plan a week away with friends at a villa on St. John, and we answer questions before you book.

A week with friends is one of the easiest kinds of trip to plan well, as long as everyone agrees on the basics early. Travelers from Thorne Bay often come from a place where the outdoors is part of daily life, so they tend to know what they want from time away: room to spread out, a shared kitchen, and a quiet evening on the porch after a full day. A villa rental on St. John can give a group exactly that, with separate bedrooms, common space, and a setting at the Westin St John Resort. Villa Rentals work well for groups because the cost and the space are shared, and the house becomes a meeting point rather than a hotel lobby. You can cook a few meals together, plan a loose schedule, or simply sit in one room and talk. Before you commit, it helps to talk through sleeping arrangements, budgets, and who will handle the grocery list, so the week begins with clear expectations and no one feels left out.

Getting from Thorne Bay to St. John

  1. Start with the flight. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT. From there, a taxi carries the group to Red Hook, where the passenger ferry crosses to Cruz Bay. Ask everyone in your group to share their home airport and preferred travel days so the arrivals can be lined up into one or two simple groups rather than a scattered string of single arrivals.
  2. Choose your departure window. Thorne Bay has long, cold winters, so many friends from Alaska look at the islands as a way to escape the dark months. The warm season and the drier months are popular choices, though the island is pleasant most of the year. Pick a window that suits your schedules, then book the villa early, since groups tend to reserve the same weeks. Our team can walk you through what each season feels like on the ground.
  3. Plan the stay together. Once the villa is booked, set up a shared list for groceries, rental cars, and ferry tickets. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, which matters for anyone taking the wheel. Agree on a few group plans and leave plenty of open time for individual rest. A week goes quickly, and the friends who enjoy it most usually sketch a rough outline first and let the rest unfold.

Frequently asked questions

Is a villa better than a hotel for a group of friends from Thorne Bay?

For most groups, yes. A villa gives everyone private bedrooms and shared living space, plus a kitchen for simple meals together. It can feel more like a home base than a hotel, which suits friends who want to relax, cook, and talk late into the evening rather than rush out the door each morning.

Do villa rentals on St. John have a minimum stay?

Villas are rented by the week, which makes a seven-night stay a natural fit for a trip with friends. Because the rental is set up that way, it is worth confirming the exact dates with our team before you book so that arrival and departure days line up with your flights and the ferry.

Can I ask questions before I decide on Villa Rentals?

Yes. St John Condos is glad to answer questions first, and there is no pressure to decide.
