This was our third trip to St Thomas and our first visit to On the Rocks Villa. What a wonderful find! The villa itself is beautiful and comfortable. The views are breathtaking. The pool was the perfect place to relax. As others have commented, the drive through the neighborhood is not easy, but just go slowly through the 3 switchbacks and you will arrive in paradise! We would love to come back.

We loved on the rocks! Views were spectacular and the villa is so private! We had a hard time leaving the property as it’s as beautiful as any other beach we wanted to visit. Highly recommend and hopefully we’ll be back soon!

The house itself is very beautiful, nicely decorated, and very private. The scenery around is breathtaking. The pool is relaxing and the perfect temperature. We spent a lot of time in it. The house has everything you might need. The owner is very very nice and communicated well. He checked in on us several times which we greatly appreciated.
The drive to the house is basically on the side of a tall hill and has several very steep switchbacks with sheer drop offs on one side. It was nerve wracking getting to and leaving the house each day. It took us 3 days to get comfortable with it. But that’s probably to be expected if you want a remote and private house.
The bedroom is air conditioned, but the living room/kitchen area isn’t. The temperature of the bedroom was comfortable. We were there in July, and the humidity was very high. With all the fans on in the living room/kitchen area, it was still pretty warm. The only thing we thought was odd is there are 2 large windows in the bedroom without glass, only screens and shutters. These are the only windows with no glass in the whole house. At night you can hear all of the insects and birds. It was hard to sleep the first night, but we got used to it.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

This place was just phenomenal. By far, my favorite VRBO ever. I’ve been to a lot of beautiful places in my life, but there’s something about this spot and the design of the house together make for magical experience.

On The Rocks really is better than the pictures! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in the middle of June, and we could not have picked a better place. The USVI is a really unique honeymoon destination that rivals the best of the Caribbean. The view from the villa is amazing. The villa is extremely private (you're the only ones on the property). Dennis is quick to respond and happy to help with any questions or requests. The villa was stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, plenty of drinking water, soap shampoo and conditioner, and everything you need in a kitchen. We made two trips to Moe's grocery store and cooked every meal except two dinner dates; we even had steaks on the grill.
St. Thomas has lots to do and see. We rented a jeep from Amalie Car Rentals (highly recommend!). It was easy to drive around St. Thomas and St. John. Magen's Bay and Mermaid's Chair were our favorite spots on St. Thomas (Mermaid's Chair was the most beautiful place I have ever seen). We ferried to St. John and hiked to Honeymoon Beach, which had the best snorkeling of the whole trip. It rained once during the week we were there, but the weather was perfect the rest of the time. We had a week full of things to do and places to go, and we figured out how to do a lot of it for free or at a very low cost. We still spent plenty of time enjoying the view, the pool, and the privacy of the villa.
On The Rocks is the perfect honeymoon spot if you want an easy, private, enjoyable trip.

It was the peaceful, private paradise I had hoped it would be! Although next time we will rent a jeep or vehicle that can handle the hairpin turns and steep drive to the villa.
10.0 / 10.0
Positives: Dennis is great and responds very promptly. We had some storms come through and he even checked in on us and made sure we were good. Power went out but house has a generator that kicked in after about a minute of power loss. The view is AMAZING. Pictures do not do it justice. The house is very private and you about feel like you are on an island on your own. Very short drive to Megan’s bay. Suggest you google St Thomas cruise calendar and pick dates with as few cruises as possible but you can still beat the crowd either way. Seating and bed are very comfortable.
Negatives: Air conditioning is in bed room only. So living room and kitchen will be hot. The drive getting out is doable with a car but HIGHLY suggest renting a Jeep. You will need the tight turn radius and power.
Overall: Nothing that would keep me away from going back. If I booked another trip to St Thomas this would be the first place to see if it is available.

We SO enjoyed the view! We purchased groceries/wine at Moe’s, per the owner’s suggestion (spot on), and had such a relaxing time we didn’t leave for days! Hall Bay Beach was a fav for snorkeling, fish tacos and beach relaxing! The pool was splendid and the home is so beautiful and very well supplied! (Rent a small, powerful vehicle for the switchbacks; no joke!) Many thanks to Dennis!

On the Rocks is an incredible, out-of-the way gem. We spent the first day just relaxing and taking in the spectacular views. Magen’s Bay Beach and snorkeling at Koki’s beach were lovely, but the highlight was the property. Dennis was quick to respond to the few questions we had. We will be back!

This place is pretty magical! We felt like we had the Caribbean to ourselves. The view is incredible and you see no one! The pool was refreshing and we loved waking up early to the sunrises. Dennis and Esther were very accommodating hosts. TIP: rent a 4x4 Jeep from Dexter Car rental. It will come in handy getting in and out of the driveway. Would definitely stay again!!

This spot is BEYOND amazing! Private and peaceful. For once we felt like we were on a vacation with no disruptions. We were so lucky to find this listing as we got married during this trip and the place really was the icing on the cake! Thank you SO much for sharing this amazing place. We will definitely be back in the future!!

The pictures of the house don't do it justice! The views are amazing, the house is beautifully decorated and the owner, Dennis, was super responsive and helpful from before I booked our vacation to the end of it! I 100% would recommend this house to any couple traveling to St. Thomas as I don't think you will find a more perfect house on the island. I cannot wait to go back and stay here again!

This place exceeded our expectations. The house was cozy and comfortable. The views were spectacular and made it hard to leave. This was a gated community which was a great and made you feel safe. With this being said would 100% recommend this place.

We had a great time there. The view is absolutely amazing. We rented a car and drove ourselves, which I don't recommend. Cell service cuts out leaving you with no gps and not knowing how to get out of the neighborhood. All that aside, the property manager was great and helped us every step of the way. The house is stocked beautifully with all you could need. Its extremely private and all you can hear are birds and the waves of the ocean at night. Magen’s beach is very close and easy to get to. Great beach to visit. We had a great time and would like to go back someday.

Just what we were looking for! The perfect combination of seclusion and unbeatable ocean views. Comfortable and clean with all the right spots to relax and enjoy paradise. We cooked several meals and enjoyed them on the patio while watching the waves crash against the rocks. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the afternoon. A truly spectacular and unforgettable vacation!

Our stay was excellent. The house is a little hard to figure out where it is the first time but once you are there, you’ve got it and nobody else. Great place for couples just trying to get away.

Overall it was a great experience with breathtaking views. Very secluded, private and quiet other than the waves crashing on the rocks below. Loved every minute of the stay.

We had a great time here, the vrbo was in a great spot located close to maegans beach which is the best in st Thomas. Dennis was great and answered fast if we needed anything. My wife and I had a great honeymoon here.

This was the perfect place to stay in St. Thomas. Close to everything. The hosts anticipate what you need before you know you need it. Loved the air conditioning in the bedroom and would close the room up for a little bit before bed so it would get really cool. St. John’s day trip on the car ferry with the host’s itinerary was a highlight. Beautiful views. Can’t say enough about how wonderful everything was!

It’s hard to say places exceed your expectations, but in this case, On the Rocks absolutely did. The pictures do not do the view justice and the privacy and peacefulness of the location are beyond measure. We spent most nights at the Villa making our dinner and enjoying the views. It’s a magical place. I would be remiss not to mention Dennis, from start to finish he was always available and answered all of our questions. Pay attention to his recommendations because they were all on the spot. We will absolutely return! Todd & Kacey

Planned a surprise trip to St Thomas for my husband’s birthday fairly last minute never having visited before… saw “On The Rocks” and it was available and looked great on inside and nice views. When we arrived it was more stunning in person with incredible views and completely private! A 5 minute drive to beautiful Megan’s Bay Beach (20 - 25 minutes from airport). We will definitely be back!

This is our 2nd stay at On the Rocks and it is just as amazing as we remembered. We spent our time relaxing at the villa enjoying the pool, or taking a quick drive down to Megan's Bay, my favorite beach! Since the villa is Sooooo relaxing with a constant ocean breeze, we spent most nights in and cooked our meals and enjoyed the sound of the ocean. We were fortunate to meet Dennis, the owner, while we were there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful villa... we will definitely be back!

The views and privacy are amazing. Kinda hard to find but it's typical Island roads to it. We would definitely stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
Based on the description and reviews we expected the villa to be good. But it far surpassed our expectations. On the Rocks is completely private and sits on the seaside cliff right over the ocean, looking out at the quiet bay, amazing sunsets and rainbows, and beautiful natural islands. The constant sound of the surf, smell of fresh salty air, and warmth of the sun made us want to sleep in and return for quiet evenings by the pool. There are no other homes close by allowing skinny dipping and complete privacy day and night. The house itself is open and beautifully appointed with wrap-around decks, outside seatings and rest spots, and floor-to-ceiling views of the water from every room. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was large and fully appointed, and the open living and dining areas just right for eating or sitting in or out. Dennis made sure we had everything we needed. He even picked us up at the airport then we our arrival was late and the car rental office was closed. He dropped by the market on our way to the villa so we could stock up, and picked us up the next morning to go back to the airport to pick up our car. When our our jeep needed towing off the side of a road the next morning (a Sunday) and asked how to get towed, he actually came right over and towed us. The Island was very drivable as long as we had the 4WD Jeep. This was a dream vacation in every way. Thank you Dennis!

Excellent. Road to property is not easy at night, but two good restaurants are nearby. Magens Bay beach 2 miles is very good with services of food and bathrooms. Contact with owner is very good for help and advice. Views of waves crashing on shore rocks thrilling.

From start to finish, this home and experience was all we imagined and so much more. The beauty of this home, the location, the privacy, the seclusion yet security, the views, everything. We will be back. The pictures do not do this place justice.

Amazing secluded property on St. Thomas!
Amazing property! Secluded and private, On The Rocks was a great house for my wife and me to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Rarely does a property exceed expectations and its description; On The Rocks is that rare property. The manager Jerilee was very responsive for the few questions we had. The house is beautifully decorated and incredibly well outfitted. The views are breathtaking.
Tips: Water cooler in the house, so no need to buy jugs of water when you stop for groceries on the way after you arrive in St. Thomas. Milk, butter, eggs, and pineapple were also provided, so you can wait until day 2 to buy groceries if you have a late arrival.

Absolutely superv
For my husband and my first visit to the USVI we chose On The Rocks. It is just as the pictures show. Very private, tastefully decorated and fully equipped. The breezes through the open doors and powerful ceiling fans kept the main living area very comfortable and the AC in the bedroom was fantastic. Waking up for the sunrise over the ocean with a cup of coffee, and hanging out on the day bed in the evening to star gaze can’t be beat. Close to Magen’s Bay (one of our favorites). We are already talking about a return trip 😁

Perfect Bliss in Paradise
On the Rocks is that rare occurrence where a property far outpaces the photos and description. Every inch was curated and prepared for the perfect peaceful experience. Jerilee the property manager was responsive and helpful, Liz the owner was friendly and helpful in all our communication. We’d definitely come again and had a wonderful, relaxing week. Love, love, this villa …. you won’t be disappointed ❤️☀️🌴

Stunning Views
This place is just amazing. Waking up every morning to views of the ocean and nearby islands was just breathtaking, we didn’t want to leave! The place was well kept, clean, and beautifully decorated, and had absolutely everything you could possibly need. Jerilee and Liz were both very nice and super responsive with all of our questions and definitely made things easier for us.
Getting to the place was a bit tricky, but we got used to it after the first day and wasn’t a big deal at all - definitely recommend getting a Jeep though.
We considered a bunch of options prior to the trip, but in the end, could not be any happier with our decision - this place is just top notch. If you are looking for a private, secluded getaway, then look no further. Already missing the views!

Gorgeous & private
This property was just gorgeous, The views are simply stunning and the property is extremely private. The close proximity to Magen Beach was a great asset. Do not recommend driving to or from the house in the dark.

An oasis like no other
On the rocks is like no other vacation home, with the breathtaking views of the US & British islands. If you are looking for a private getaway in a beautifully decorated home with an amazing deck and pool stay here. The photos online don’t do the place justice. The home is very clean, they have everything you’d need and even things you don’t even know you’ll need yet.
Host Liz & property manager Jerrilee are fast to respond and helpful. A rental car is required, we were thankful we had a Jeep. The driveway was intimidating upon arrival. However we quickly got use to it.
The Waze app worked for us so we were very comfortable finding our way around the island.
We booked a private Jeep & Beach tour with Sunfari Tours. They took us to a few great snorkel spots as we hoped around the island. We spent a day sailing & snorkeling with Max Charters. We also had chef Caroline from Baja bites come prepare us a lovely dinner. We enjoyed all of our activities and would recommend all these companies. It all made for an unforgettable trip! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us Liz!

Pictures don't do it justice!
We had an outstanding time staying at On the Rocks. We were absolutely blown away when we first arrived by the gorgeous house and spectacular views. The wrap around porch, day bed and pool with waterfall make you never want to leave. But it's a super short drive down to Magen's Bay which was our favorite of the 10 beaches we visited between St Thomas and St John. We did not want to leave! Thank you so much.

Excellent property!
We had so much fun on our first trip to St. Thomas in large part because we stayed here. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay on the island. The views were gorgeous, even with the bit of rain we got. It was so nicely decorated, the pool was an extra plus and the wrap around deck was just amazing, we spent most of our time out there. We did explore the island quite a bit but we also could have been happy spending the entire time at this house. The host was responsive and helpful. The property manager was there when we arrived (which was a bit early because of some confusion on what time to check in) and didn’t mind that we were early, showed us around and let us right in. The only slight downside was that you couldn’t walk anywhere, we drove to all of the beaches, restaurants, stores, etc. But we didn’t mind that, it was nice to be in and secluded at the end of the day. If you’re looking for a quiet, private place to stay on your vacation THIS is it. So beautiful and unlike any place we have stayed before.

Better then advertised
My wife and I enjoyed our week on the rocks. We would recommend going to Megan's Bay(stop at the food truck on the way to get some good local food), St. Johns for a day, Trunk Bay, message on the deck, dinner at Old Stone House and Easterly, sailing with Wes on the Nightingale II, and most importantly - GET A JEEP. Everything about the house was fabulous. You will not regret booking this amazing place.
