The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Venice, Florida plan a snorkeling and beach week at villas near the Westin St John Resort, and the local team answers questions before you book.
Venice sits on Florida's Gulf coast, so many of the people who live here already know the pleasure of warm water and sandy shorelines. A week on St. John takes that familiar comfort a step further, with clear water, quiet coves, and reef life that rewards a patient swimmer with mask and fins. The island is part of the US Virgin Islands, which means the trip feels like a getaway while still staying within the country. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base for those beach days. Mornings can start with coffee on a private terrace, afternoons can be spent on the sand, and evenings can wind down without a schedule. Because villas are rented by the week, you can settle in, unpack once, and let the days set their own pace.

Planning a Venice trip to St. John
- Getting to the island. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, airport code STT. From there a taxi carries you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Plan for that short sequence of connections with bags in hand, and keep your snorkel gear in a carry bag so it stays with you rather than in checked luggage.
- Choosing when to go. Florida travelers often prefer to leave during the cooler months of their own winter, when the Caribbean feels most like a relief. Spring and early winter tend to bring pleasant days for the water. Think about what you want most from the week, whether that is calm seas for snorkeling or a quieter stretch of sand, and let that guide your dates.
- Planning the stay. Book a villa for the full week so you are not moving around the island. Ask the St John Condos team about the layout and how close the villa sits to the Westin beaches before you commit. Note that driving on St. John is on the left, so consider whether you will rely on a taxi or a rental for outings.
