Cruz Bay solo traveler – advice wanted!

Hello friends!!! So, I will be traveling to St John for the first time, in December. Solo female traveler here (37 but present a bit younger)…

​

I hear Cruz Bay is a great place to be if you’re going solo, so I booked an AirBNB there which is about a 15 minute walk to downtown, but my only hesitation is that it might just feel VERY alone and isolated. Part of me thinks I will be happier in a hotel environment where there are people around and more of a vacation vibe, while I can still keep to myself and read etc etc…

​

Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel is THE find for my price range but there is ONE day during the duration of my stay that they are sold out so I can’t stay there. Then there is the Artistic Villas which is also affordable, but bad cancelation policy and I’d have to switch rooms midway through my stay…

​

Does anyone have any advice for me? Safety, walkability, and a serene but still vacation vibe are super important. I’m not sure I love the idea of St John Inn because it feels a bit cheaper even though the location is very good. I’ve called Lavender Hills and Coconut Coast among others, all booked.

​

Any advice in general or just little tips and tricks will be much much appreciated!! Thanks all for reading – and ooooooh my gosh I can’t wait
