We loved our stay at Up On The Rocks! The house was well-equipped and a great location with a beautiful view. We spent many hours on the porch when we weren’t touring the island! We would stay there again.

Up on the Rocks is lovely, with comfortable beds, gorgeous bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and nicely-landscaped grounds. The property manager, Henry, was responsive and friendly. Terrific view. The driveway is very steep and takes some getting used to.

So relaxing. It is the perfect setup for 2 couples. The view is lovely. Town is very close if you need to run in. I will say the driveway is crazy but we had fun navigating it. Everything we needed in the house was there. Super responsive and answered any questions we had about the island. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

We loved our stay here. Henry was great. We caught a late ferry and he took care of getting the jeep for us. The house is perfect for 2 friends or 2 couples - 2 comfortable queen beds and 2 bathrooms. The property was clean and close to Cruz Bay. Gorgeous view and quiet neighborhood. This is a totally great place and we are so happy we found it.

“Up on the rocks” was amazing. Great views. Lovely landscape and SUPER clean with everything you need. Great location. Close to the quaint town of Cruz Bay and all of the GORGEOUS North shore beaches. We would come back in a heartbeat.

We loved our stay at Up on the Rocks. It was very clean and comfortable. The view was spectacular and we enjoyed most of our time outside on the deck. The breeze is nice but we were definitely grateful for the AC in the bedrooms while we slept. It’s conveniently located to downtown and the road to all of the beaches. We loved our stay and would highly recommend!

Our accommodations were exactly as we expected. The tropical breezes on the deck were perfect. Very relaxing. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were perfect. The location was close to town so shopping, food and groceries were easily accessible. It was very convenient to be close to the car ferry too. Driving to the beaches was very easy. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it.

Up On The Rocks is perfect in every way. Location and view couldn’t be better. The villa is equipped with everything you could possible need including an umbrella which we used almost everyday. This was our second stay here and we will be back.

We absolutely loved staying at Up on the Rocks. Our family of 4 stayed for 8 nights and we would definitely book it again. The view from the porch was our favorite place to hang out in the morning and evening. The views and breezes were amazing! The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were nice and spacious. We did lots of cooking and the kitchen was well stocked and roomy. I miss it already!

This property was perfect for 4 people. The house was clean and well equipped with coolers, ice packs, Turkish beach towels and beach chairs. The AC was great in the bedrooms, but the main living area was very warm, despite the fans being on. We preferred to keep the sliding doors and windows closed in the living area due to the mosquitoes. The driveway is VERY steep. Tip: adjust your side view mirrors and then back in carefully with jeep in 4 wheel drive. The owner, Henry, was very accommodating and easily accessible to answer any questions. We enjoyed our 10 day stay at Up On The Rocks!

Communication prior to our arrival was fantastic! We knew just what to do and what to expect when we arrived. Henry was gracious and met us at our Jeep rental location and guided us to UP ON THE ROCKS. Upon our arrival, he made sure we knew where everything was and that we were comfortable. He was available for any questions we had. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back!

This was our FOURTH stay in this villa. The deck with the awesome view is where you'll spend much of your time. But the rest of the villa is of high quality. In my opinion, this villa hits the sweet spot for value-for-the-money: You can pay less and get something not near as good or you can pay more and get something only slightly better.

We enjoyed our stay Up on the Rocks. The place was very well-decorated and nicely equipped with everything you could want for a stay. The deck out front is great, a perfect place to hang out anytime. It is a 30 minute hilly walk from town so a car is important - and essential to get to the beaches on the far side of St. John. However we were only able to rent one for 3 out of our 7 days. However we found that by walking down to the main road, about a block from the house, we were able to catch a taxi with no problem as they are driving by often.

We could not have been happier with our stay. The house was perfect for 2 couples. We started every morning with coffee on the expansive porch, which had comfortable seating for lounging or breakfast. The porch was also perfect for enjoying a beer or drink after a day at the wonderful beaches of St. John. The kitchen was fully applianced and the gas grill availability was great. Our communication with Becki and Henry was great and nothing was left unanswered before or during our stay. The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped (towels, beach chairs, cooler) for a day at the beach. Easy access by car to 2 markets, restaurants, shopping and beaches. Thanks for everything! We will definitely be returning to Up On The Rocks!

Lovely villa that is nicely appointed. Very convenient to all the dining, shopping, and off island excursions in Cruz Bay. Best feature is the amazing view from the porch that you will never get enough of! Also a plus to have laundry on site and great drinking water. The villa has recent updates and everything you need is there. Kitchen well appointed for cooking and grilling. We grilled some Blackfin tuna we caught with a morning of off shore trolling with capt. Josh on his 42’ boat Just Fish. Highly recommend his outfit. Henry was very helpful and laidback in the St John way. The toughest part is leaving! But without a doubt we will return.

We recently stayed for a little over a week at Up on the Rocks. We could not have asked for a better place to stay! During the booking phase Randy answered all of questions quickly and was extremely helpful. The week before our stay we decided to change our Jeep rental from renting on St Thomas to renting in St John. Larissa was great in giving us info on jeep rentals in St John and even gave us the number of a taxi driver on St Thomas. When we arrived on St John, Henry was waiting for us on the dock. He waited for us to get our rental and then showed us to the house. At the house he pointed out a few things that you can see from the amazing deck and even the told us the best gas station to use! Everyone was wonderful, everything was wonderful and we had a great trip to St John! We are already talking about returning to Up on the Rocks!!

Up on the Rocks is 5 stars. We've stayed at many vacation rentals and this is one of the all-around best. Recently renovated so everything's modern and SUPER clean, close to downtown Cruz Bay yet peaceful enough to enjoy the sound of crickets and tree frogs at night. Kitchen is well equipped with dishes, pots and pans, tinfoil, dish soap, etc. The covered deck provides incredible views of Great Cruz Bay! We barbecued a lot on the grill while enjoying cocktails and the view from the comfy outdoor furniture. The bedroom A/C was quiet and operated flawlessly; the beds were very comfy. We also used the new washer and dryer and were happy that detergent and dryer sheets were available. Lastly, I must mention the sweet kitty that visited daily on the deck :) Of course we fed and named her Rocky...she helped fill the void of missing our own pets. We loved the villa and would definitely recommend it!!

Just returned from here and we loved it. We have a great view to sit out at night and watch the lights and watch the morning and afternoon views. The actual place is top notch renovation. They had everything you could possibly want. I am a home designer and wife is a real estate agent and the place is fantastic and comfortable, meaning we know our dwellings. The A/C in the bedrooms with the door shut will freeze you out, which if you have had a hot day, is a welcome night sleep. (My last visit to St John the A/C at a different villa went out and it was miserable. I thought the driveway was going to be an issue but after the 1st time and making it up backwards, I was a pro at it. This place is great for 2 couples with the split rooms and bathrooms. Gives each their own privacy. Definitely recommend this villa P.S. the villa kitty is friendly.

We can't stress enough how great our stay was at Up On The Rocks in St. John. If you are looking for a place to stay worry free, this is the place for you. The house had everything we needed and beyond! The deck with the gorgeous views was probably my favorite part of the house. Henry from Sol Villas was so nice to work with. He met us at the ferry dock, brought us to our car rental and to the house rental. He gave us tips on where to go, what to see, and was always available by cell phone if you needed him. Maho beach was our favorite beach, calm waters, the views are phenomenal, and it never gets old seeing sea turtles swimming around. Make sure to have snorkeling gear. There are plenty of places you can rent them on the island. It makes the experience so much better. Starfish Market was our market of choice for groceries. They had a good selection of meats and seafood and had a good variety of gluten free food if you are on a gluten free diet. All the restaurants on the island are great, but my favorite is Rhumb Lines. Its a Thai restaurant with Caribbean flare that is wonderful. Their food is typically spicy but they are really good about reducing the spice for you. Randy, thank you again for everything.

10/10

I would like to thank both Randy and Henry for their hospitality. We stayed at the beautiful “Up on The Rocks” April 2-10. Our trip started out with every glitch you can imagine. Our plane was supposed to arrive early afternoon and didn’t arrive until after 9 pm. It arrived without all our luggage. Our delay caused us to miss the car ferry and left us scrambling for the last people ferry over. Henry maintained my sanity all day and was a refreshing sight at 10:30 pm waiting for us at the dock. He was kind enough to bring us to the store so we would be able to have cream for our coffee in the morning. He became my hero! We lost power on the Island due to a fire a couple days later. To our surprise, Randy and Henry kept us on generator as late in the am as we needed and then at night to keep us comfortable. The island, at the time, was without WiFi. Amazingly, they got that for us too. The place is super stocked with everything including a beautiful laundry room. The view, spectacular! We also had the companionship of a cute, friendly kitty each morning and night. I can’t say enough about Randy and Henry. They made our stay wonderful. Thank you.
