Wonderful Time
We had a wonderful time in St. John. This property was a great place to rest our heads at night after a long day in the sun, lying on the beach, swimming, and snorkeling. Comfortable, clean, and it had everything we needed and more!

Absolutely loved this place!
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.

Fabulous find!
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.

Spectacular Views
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!

Great views and close to Cruz Bay
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.

Heavenly!
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!

Lovin' 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!

Paradise Found (again)
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.

Amazing views from this Villa! Everything you need is here!
Driving up the driveway is a thriller the first time . The Villa has so many amazing qualities..... the beds are so comfy.. the bathrooms are spacious and decorated beautifully... the air conditioners work great for cool nighttime sleeping...the kitchen has everything you need to cook and using the grill was nice for evening dinners on the patio....Beach towels a cooler, chairs and umbrella are in the laundry room. This Villa is just a short drive to all the beaches and Cruz bay.My family of four loved every moment at this Villa.

Contemporary rental with an awesome porch
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.

Just as beautiful as the pictures!
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!

Fantastic
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!!

Excellent house for an enjoyable stay on St. John!!
We LOVED our stay in Up On the Rocks!! It's just a couple minutes from town and a fabulous view of Great Cruz Bay to watch on the huge porch while sipping coffee. Henry was more than accommodating and willing to offer any knowledge or advice about the island. I had read reviews about the steep driveway and was literally scared to death of it but overcame my fears. After the first couple of times, it was a piece of cake. DON'T let the driveway steer you away from this villa seriously. It is a very nicely furnished, adorable home that is just perfect!! You will just love Henry too! If I was forced to say anything other than positive, it would be that we wished there was a bed on the porch for sleeping out there because it was so wonderful out there at night. ;) We did have to use bug spray on the porch a lot, so don't forget that. Thanks again, Henry, for a wonderful stay! We will be seeing you again!

Perfect place to stay
This house was the perfect place to stay for our first trip to St. John. It’s located close to grocery stores and town. The view is amazing, the flowers along the rocks are gorgeous. The kitchen had everything you could need. Plenty of nutmeg for painkillers was already in the fridge. It was nice to find leftover reef safe sunscreen from other guests since we did run out of it during our trip. The AC in the bedrooms worked great. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of outdoor and indoor space. We hope to be back very soon!
