Travel

This isn't your typical destination wedding...it's not all inclusive and you don't need a passport! But when it's all said and done, you'll be spending the same $$ amount or less and fall in love with one of our favorite places to vacation....like we did :) The wedding is in Cruz Bay, St. John, which requires a ferry after you arrive in St. Thomas. If you are coming from RI, your best bet is to fly out of Boston for a wayyy cheaper flight, and better travel times. Getting to St. John: You will have to fly into St. Thomas (STT) and then jump on the ferry in Charlotte Amalie. Which is about a half-hour/45min ride. OR take a taxi from the airport to Redhook. It's about a half hour ride to the east side of the island. From there, you jump on the ferry and it's about a 15 min ride. The Ferry: Depart Charlotte Amalie to Cruz Bay, St. John Depart Redhook to Cruz Bay, St. John Getting to The Hills: About a 5min ride from the ferry (Downtown Cruz Bay) Taxi Ride - Chico (340) 690-6507

Travel Note

COVID Testing

St. Thomas requires that you have a negative test taken within 72 hours of arriving in their airport. As of right now, we only have to provide a rapid test. Please reference to this site for further steps that need to be taken in order to enter the island. Vaccinated or not...but we're still not required to get vaccinated in order to enter...so that's great! There is a travel portal that is linked on this site. You have to upload and enter your travel information in order to get into the island. There will be National Guard taking your temp and scanning your QR code (provided after your application submission to enter has been approved).

House Or Rental

AirBnB and VRBO

If you go this route, make sure to stay in Cruz Bay area. This is where we will be staying. St. John is mainly a national park, so there are lots of hills and windy roads. Rentals may seem closer than they really are, so just ask us if you have any questions. The Hills is located off of Serendip Rd. Also check VRBO for villa/condo rentals.

House Or Rental

The Hills

There are a bunch of Villas available to rent. There are 2-bedroom, 3 bedroom, and 4-bedroom villas. They are blocked off for you to rent, so no one else is able to book them. However, They will only be blocked off until May 12, 2022. You can view each villa on their website, but need to email Vacation VI in order to book. *Note* The location of the villas is set in hillside, which means it is not located on the beach. Please email Ginger at ginger@vacationvi.com or Inquiries@vacationvi.com and mention you are booking for the Cota-Nightingale Wedding. There is a 5 night minimum. We will be staying there from Nov 8th - Nov 14th. Names of the Villas that are blocked off...(12 total) Papaya Mahogany Royal Palm Bougainvillea Agave Paradisio Grandeur Seagrape Cocoplum Poinciana Starfruit Mimosa Jasmine and Dhalia do not participate in the room blocks. There also are 3 villas that are privately rented out (not by Vacation VI), so we suggest searching on Airbnb or VRBO for them. You have to be a true detective for that one!
