Lodging & Travel

Flights

The airport you will book flights into is St. Thomas Cyril E. King Airport (STT). For best pricing it is recommended to book your flight 6-9 months ahead of time. No passports required.

There are no direct flights from Columbus, OH to St Thomas so keep that in mind.

FYI

Starting on May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board any flights. You MUST have this real ID to travel. The Real Drivers License / ID has a star (and/or flag) or says "Enhanced" for more information on your specific state visit https://www.dhs.gov/real-id

House Or Rentals

We recommend thinking about booking sooner rather than later if possible for you. The island books quickly and you will have more options the sooner you book!  You will be booking hotel and flight accommodations on your own, if you have any questions reach out but this website should answer them all.

Our condo/airbnb is in the Sapphire Beach Resort area (see direct AIRBNB and VRBO links below). You do not have to stay here if you find a different area you prefer to stay. One thing to consider is shuttle pickup for the wedding; you WILL have to be on the EAST END of the island for that!

We have picked Sapphire Beach on the east end of the island to stay because although St Thomas has NO all inclusive resorts you will be near many bars, restaurants, red hook (which is St Thomas nightlife) and even a grocery store for alcohol and food needs. East End has the best beaches on the island. Also having a kitchen inside your vacation rental is a plus if you’re one who would like to cook and not eat out as much! Sapphire beach is the most popular area to stay.

Sites such as Airbnb now have a pay part now and pay part later option at check out. This can allow you to book your accommodations with a payment plan if needed!
