Rent a villa, help Friends of Virgin Islands National Park.
When my wife and I visited Virgin Islands Island National Park some years ago, we rented a "villa." It was a beautiful home, much as you might find today via AirBnB or VRBO. Today you can do the same thing, and help Friends of Virgin Islands National Park in their support of the national park.
If the park is on your to-do list, this is your chance to score a great place to stay on St. John and help protect and preserve the park at the same time. Now in its fifth year, the Villas For The Park Auction is hosted by Friends of Virgin Islands National Park and is an important fundraiser that supports park programs including trail maintenance, mooring maintenance, sea turtle protection, and scientific research programs.
Spend an amazing vacation in one of the fabulous places kindly donated by the respective owners. Explore the beaches in the park, snorkel in St.John’s azure waters, and hike miles of trails. Registration is now open and is free. Bidding starts on Friday and ends on November 26.
Visit Friends of Virgin Islands National Park's website to learn more and register to bid at this page.

The variety of beauty protected by the United States National Park Service is truly astounding, two thirds of St John is park. St John is another jewel in the national treasury. The color of the water, the sky, the flowers, the sea life, it will take your breathe away!
