More Info:
Regardless of how you like to spend your vacation time, St. John Inn offers the finest accommodations for the perfect tropical island getaway. The Inn is located overlooking one of St. John Island's most scenic views, historic Cruz Bay. Guests at the St. John Inn find themselves just a five-minute walk to the bay, a half-hour ferry ride to the markets of St. Thomas, or a 10-minute drive to some of the Caribbean's best diving and snorkeling.
St. John Island is the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, only 9 miles long and 5 miles wide. Because the majority of the island is a United States National Park, you have the Islanders' guarantee for enjoying the unspoiled natural beauty unrivaled by its busier and more crowded neighboring islands.
Less motivated guests can soak up the tropical sun pool-side as they soak in drinks from the bar. From the most active to the most relaxed, you will be hard-pressed to find an island more beautiful, more peaceful, less crowded, or one inhabited by friendlier people.
Come join us at the St. John Inn and see why St. John has been called the "crown jewel" of the Virgin Islands. Stay with us and see why we like to say that the island of St. John is the perfect romantic setting for a most memorable vacation.
