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!

There aren’t enough words to explain how incredible this property and the hostess Sherri are! You really must see it for yourself! Rockworks is an amazing property—the grounds, gardens, trees are an outdoor oasis. We rented a Jeep and a highlight for our kids was driving to the various beaches around the island. Our favorite beach was also the closest—Hull Bay. The views from the villa are spectacular, and we felt that it was a huge bonus to have Sherri nearby. There’s a reason why this property is so highly rated. The villa is an architectural marvel, and we enjoyed learning about the history of it from Sherri. Our family wanted something that was relaxing, close to the beach, with a view, and ultra clean. Rockworks checked ALL of the boxes! After exploring the island, the entire family remarked that there was definitely no place else we would have rather stayed. Can’t wait to return! Thank you Sherri for making our family vacation one of our most memorable!
Hull Bay. Easy parking, no crowds, and a great place to eat (The Shack).
It felt like the flowers were blooming just for us. This is the view just outside the main bedroom. We enjoyed coffee outside on the deck in the morning.
One of my favorite trees on the property. The tree is just near the deck in between the two villas.

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!!!!

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.
