We are looking at a early July visit to St. John for a week. I have looked at some villa sites way to many choices. It is for just two of us so do not need a big place.
Any thoughts or idea? Maybe a condo. Want to be close to a beach. Maybe walking distance.

Also we do want to get around a bit. So any thoughts on car rental. Do you think we need for all week? 3 to 4 days?

Thanks

Dave

St. John is largely a do it yourself vacation destination - packing a cooler, beach chairs, snorkel equipment and heading out for the day is the norm. You absolutely need a vehicle and to get to some of the more secluded beaches, and up and down the steep hills/road grade when it is raining - a Jeep. Vehicles are in short supply due to unprecedented levels of travelers to the USVI so book asap - it may be difficult finding one even now.

You will be driving to the beaches - there aren’t many accommodations on beaches in St John - especially sandy beaches. Many cottages and villas are on the hillsides to take advantage of the spectacular views. Most condos are in town (Cruz Bay). I would start a villa search here:
https://stjohn-villarentals.com/ This site connects renters and owners and you can avoid paying fees.

I suggest checking out the St John TripAdvisor forum. Great community and tons of info.

Dave, we used cateredto for our villa in August, used them before and they've been around forever. Vehicles...found a couple places booked up, but fortunately Cool Breeze had what we needed. Good luck planning!
