About this property

Rockworks Villa- off the beaten path for peace and tranquility

Rockworks is a spacious two bedroom home located on the quite north side of St. Thomas with the second bedroom across the sunny deck for maximum privacy. The main pavilion consists of your kitchen, dining areas and King Master suite. The house is perfect for two couples or a small family and is all on one level with only one step up into the houses and has convenient parking for two vehicles. This estate features your cocktail pool which is approximately 10' x 18' (3' to 4.5' deep), terraces with palms of all types along with fruit trees and bright tropical flowers. Rockworks was designed for air flow which allows guests to enjoy the tropical breezes, though the house is fully air-conditioned. We are 1/3 of a mile above Dorothea Bay.
Rockworks is situated on the same estate as Stone Cottage, but privacy is complete between the two. You could book both villas for up to seven people. We are constantly upgrading furniture and bedding, please understand that not everything will be the same as pictured at all times :)
* Caretaker lives below and on lower level of Rockworks (underneath 2nd pavilion) with own driveway and entrance. Privacy is assured and complete. NO EVENTS at this property! This house is for your group only. No outside guests are allowed without owners written permission.
*For any children under the age of 18, you are required to sign a Child Liability Waiver
*Please note that if you book during hurricane season and a storm should come, please be prepared to vacate the villa. We highly recommend CFAR (for any reason) Trip Insurance during any portion of your stay!
* Gardeners come to our property twice a month with no certain date set. Sherri will notify you the day before they are coming. Thanks for understanding!
* The pool is a "Cocktail" pool - approximately 10' x 18' x (3' to 4.5' deep) and is all you need!

St Louis Gang...

Sherri was the greatest host from booking to pick up and delivery to the villa. She answered all my silly ?'s. Carnival was going on so she even called several jewelry stores to see if they were open on parade day for us. They were not so we changed up our daily events. My husband got real sick so she came over and made up the couch for him with nice clean sheets so I did not get sick. The DVD player conked out in the master so I texted Sherri and she brought over a new one the next day. The house was perfect everything you would need even spices for the kitchen. We also had the use of the villa coolers and rafts for beach days which was very nice. The pool was very refreshing with the lovely waterfall. Beds were comfy and a must the AC's all worked great. The home is right up in the trees and I can still hear coki-coki from the frogs. The view was AAA rating. I have worked with a lot of villa host thru out the years and Sherri is by far one of the Best. Dont let the driving scare you just use gps and take your time we drove every where on the island several times over. We would for sure rent this villa again if we come back to St. Thomas.

Beautiful Northside St Thomas

First time to really stop and stay no cruising just enjoying. This is where we landed and it was perfect. The north side is truly the best side. Dorothea Beach is quiet and just down the road. (The paved road is very steep and worth the work-out/hike back home) The locals consider this the best beach though small. Through the winding roads the airport is maybe 20 minutes away. The property manager Sherri is full of great information, especially for the great restaurants such as Twisted Cork in the French area. Stir It Up for coffee and amazing pastries every morning again just 20 minutes away maybe 15 in the shopping district. Prime for steaks was amazing and the view was the best my husband and I have ever seen. But my favorite was Isla Blue at the new Weston. Right on the beach so beautiful and the lobster was to die for. My favorite part of the trip was just sitting on the porch looking out to the ocean. You can hear the waves, the weather was perfect. Everything is so beautiful in St. Thomas.

Another Day in Paradise

We had the privilege of staying at Rockworks for a second time, and man was it WONDERFUL!! Once again, from the moment of booking our trip Sherri reached out almost immediately. She is always so helpful and just an all around awesome human. She makes you feel like you've been friends forever. This time we brought our 10 and 12 year old kids. They LOVED this place and said it felt like we lived on the island during our vacation. The house is set up perfectly and having that extra guest house makes for a great stay. We used Moe's Fresh Market, which is right up the street, for our grocery needs. This is definitely a HUGE amenity. We found ourselves watching movies and playing the many board and card games that are at the house every evening. We even dipped in the pool a few times. During the day we would venture out to the different beaches near by. All in all this place is magical and comes highly recommended from us! Thank you for an amazing time, Sherri and Rockworks!!

Our own private resort

AWESOME! Online pics did not do justice to this beautiful villa and surroundings! Actually 2 villas, with the second separate living space. Beautiful clean and unusual pool, well equipped kitchen, tasteful furnishings, lovely landscaping and the most incredible breathtaking view from the large wraparound deck! We rented a new Jeep Wrangler from Amalie Car Rental, it was necessary. Just as awesome was the property manager Sherri. From start to finish she was always available, even meeting us at the car rental and escorting us back to our villa, who does that? We have only positive things to say about our stay at Rockworks, off the beaten path! It lived up and was truthful about its online description!

We had a great stay at Rockworks! Sherri met us right near the airport -Emerald Beach Club- after we got our rental car. Could probably do any car but with the steep hills etc we were happy we got a Jeep. Followed her - stay left!- as she led us to Rockworks and pointed out some places to see and eat along the way. We are two adults and two adult ish kids. My 18 year old was happy about the drinking age in USVI! The location is remote enough to not be near the cruise ships and resorts but close enough to make it everywhere we wanted to go. Hull bay is the closest beach -5 minutes- and Red Hook is 35 minutes to car ferry to St. John. We are pretty low key - got groceries and made a few meals - kitchen is well stocked and met all of our needs. Place is clean and comfortable. You can tell how much care Sherri takes in maintaining this family heirloom. Had a great time stargazing on the spacious deck and taking dips in the “cocktail” pool! Great base for day trips to mountain top, drakes seat and magens beach. Highly recommend Rockworks!

First time to "North Shore" and loved it!

We have stayed in the Redhook area for years and wanted to try something different. Rockworks Villa and the North Shore area is an entirely different "vibe"; lush surroundings, peaceful and quiet but within easy reach of Megan's Bay and great attractions in and around Charlotte Amolie. We loved out stay at Rockworks Villa and property manager Sherri was amazing to work with!!!!

Peaceful Escaoe

Our stay was everything we were looking for. The houses are well appointed and comfortable and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. The location provides you the views you are looking for in a very tranquil setting. A few minutes drive and you can be anywhere on the island. Sherri was most helpful in the weeks leading up to our trip and made us feel like family when we were in town. Highly recommended.

Slice of Paradise

We truly enjoyed our stay at Rock Works. From booking and hearing from Sherri right away, to her meeting us close to the airport to direct us to the property. She was very helpful, friendly and fun. The property is 100% as advertised. It is a beautiful, quiet oasis where you feel as though you are the only people on the island. The greenery and tranquility of it is nothing short of amazingly beautiful. If you find yourself at Rock Works, consider yourself blessed. We will be dreaming of this place until we are lucky to come back. Thank you for a wonderful week in paradise!!

From start to finish, Sherrie and the Rockworks property delivered! Exceptional pre-trip details, excellent greeting process, wonderful recommendations and a lovely host, this property has it all. Sherrie was available to us throughout our stay but we had an absolutely private week.

Beautiful Villa

The Rockworks property is stunning. The views are even better than the pictures. The roads on the island take some getting use to but the drives to the beaches were worth it. The Waze app worked great for directions and we recommend renting a Jeep or a similar high profile vehicle. We really enjoyed the private pool and it was the perfect size for our family. Sherri has excellent communication and was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Rockworks.

Rockworks and Sherri are the Best!!

We had the most perfect stay at Rockworks! The villas were immaculate, beds and linens clean and comfortable, kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The grounds surrounding the villas are lush, green and gorgeous. Sherri was absolutely the best hostess; always available to answer questions but never intruding on our privacy, although we loved visiting with her during our stay. This was our second stay at Rockworks and we hope to return some day soon. Thank you Sherri for a wonderful vaca!!

Favorite Vacation Ever!

We had a great time at Rockworks. Sherie met us at the Airport and led us back to the property. She gave us an excellent overview of the property, the local beaches, restaurants and attractions. The property was even nicer than what we had expected. The master bedroom looks out over Dorothea Bay and the Brass Islands. Hull bay and Megens bay are just minutes away. The property has beach chairs that we took everywhere. We had the best time! Thank you Sherie!

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Merritt

Host profile image
I am the manager of Rockworks owner, John, and have been managing the villas since 1999. Rockworks started short term renting in 1997 and was finished building in 1996. I love what I do and have enjoyed our guests on many levels. We are blessed.

Why they chose this property

We are off the beaten path, west of Magen's Bay. We are close to one of the most secluded beaches that you may either use 4wd to get to or hike to via the rocky Dorothea beach below. This beach has no amenities so be sure to take water and snacks with you! It is one of our favorite spots and so peaceful. Few people even know about it!

What makes this property unique

Our terraced yard offers mangoes, bananas, plantain, coconut trees, lemon and lime trees, passion fruit, and even avocodo, but remember these things are seasonal and not always available. We always share what we have on hand!
We also are blessed with a lovely restaurant called Fish Bar and 2 very casual beach bars, The Shack at Hull Bay and Nomad's also on Hull Bay Beach just 1 mile away.
