Testimonials

From the moment we arrived, the setting and the accommodations at On the Rocks took our breath away. We had just come off of a couple of months of frenzied activity and needed a chance to unwind. Everything about the setting: from the beautiful views from the terrace as we breakfasted outdoors, to the glorious sunsets as we relaxed after a day of exploring the beaches, or hiking or snorkeling or boating, was perfect. We relaxed and enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and eating out at convenient restaurants. We would highly recommend this lovely villa as the perfect place to feel pampered. The bedrooms were spacious and cool, the bathrooms huge and beautifully appointed. The housekeeping service was wonderful! We left for our activities and returned to a clean, fully serviced villa, replete with fresh flowers. At the end of the week, we relaxed with a cocktail and happily relived the vacation in our minds…we couldn’t come up with one thing we would change!

As the Caribbean Regional Manager for Christies Great Estates, I visit many of the most spectacular properties in the islands. On the rocks Villa is on of the premier properties I have previewed in that it encompasses impressive architectural design and an amazing setting.

After a girlfriends week in Virgin Gorda, we are convinced that On the Rocks has the best location (near the Baths), the most beautiful views, a lovely feeling of privacy and is the most luxurious yet comfortable accomodations available on Virgin Gorda. It is a beautiful and magical place to stay.

Every detail of the accomodations and lush and private grounds are exquisite yet comfortable, the beach (1 minute away) is is famously beautiful; we had a magical time and would return to On the Rocks in a heartbeat.

My stay at On the Rocks was way beyond my expectations. You simply can not beat the view of Tortola from the the patio at sunset, chilled beverage in hand of course! To be surrounded by the elegance of this exquisite island, gave my visit a dream-like quality. The attention to details throughout the home is unparalled. From the beautifully designed bedroom suites to the sound of water off a boulder into the bouganvilla encircled pool, I felt more relaxed and rejuvenated with each day. The outdoor shower expericence is not to be missed after a dip in the crystal clear water of the white sand beach a stone’s throw from the home. If you are lucky enough to visit, you will find this memory lingering for a very long time in your mind ~ I can’t wait to return.

It’s interesting how different villas are in the BVI’s vs USVI’s… I say this because On The Rocks was simple, yet elegant. Nothing flashy, but a well furnished, well built, well appointed villa with lots of land and a focus on SERVICE. I was impressed with how simple and understated the decor was, but more impressed with the sturdiness and overall quality. The bedrooms were all very nice. The 2 master rooms were much larger than the photos imply . The pool and pool area were excellent. Some of the best we’ve stayed. It’s large enough to fit everyone and not too small to be unusable (an unfortunate attribute of some villas).I think the best part was the proximity of the ocean. The “short walk to the beach” was truly a short walk. It took no time to get there and it was a “to die for” location for romantic walks or relaxing on the sand with friends and music.

Wow! One of the best weeks of my entire life. The beach is amazing, the pool is wonderful and the beds are WAY comfy! Hopefully I’ll be able to visit again soon.

Thanks to Chef Mimi, Chef Neptune, and Bernadette for making our trip perfect. We loved every minute.

How many times can we say spectacular and superb? The vision and personal touches of love that went into creating On the Rocks is what creates a welcoming and retreat throughout” Our future plans will include On the Rocks

My wife and I, along with our 17 year old daughter, 13 year old son, and my daughter’s friend just returned from a week stay at On The Rocks villa in Virgin Gorda. Words cannot describe how perfect this home was for our vacation. The Villa is Magnificent! Unfortunately, we do not get to travel every year like we wish, but have stayed in several villas on St. Barth’s as well as St. John. When we do, the one thing I insist on is nice accommodations. On The Rocks, is our favorite villa vacation so far! Starting with the reservation, which we booked directly with the owner through VRBO, all the way to departure, the service was top notch! This was our first time to Virgin Gorda, so the owner and his property manager were extremely helpful in every aspect of planning our vacation. They recommended restaurants, grocery, activities, etc. so we felt completely at peace from the time we arrived on the island. Then we arrive at the villa itself! On The Rocks is spectacular inside and out. The design, the furnishings and decor, the view all portray the same theme….Comfortable Elegance! Every detail is covered, exceptional appliances, a fabulous custom built in charcoal grill ( which was perfect for a father’s day cookout), a cozy hammock, dreamy bedding, four outdoor showers, a refreshing pool, and the list goes on and on. The location on the island I found to be unbeatable. 5 minutes one way and you were at the Harbour and town. 3 minutes the other, and you were at The Baths. But most importantly, was a small walk about 100 yards to the most fabulous beach I have been on. Most of the week, our family were the only ones on Little Trunk Bay. The snorkeling among the boulders was awesome. Sitting in the beach chairs watching the sunset with a cold drink in hand, the perfect end to a perfect day. Other islands I visited required a 10 to 15 minute drive to such a beach, but here at On The Rocks, it was a easy short walk. We found ourselves wanting to stay there, rather than drive to the other beaches on Virgin Gorda. If you desire to stay at a top notch Villa, with quality furnishings and comfort, a perfect location, and exceptional service, then you must try On The Rocks! It will exceed your expectations I guarantee, as it did mine. Please feel free to message me about this Villa and I will be glad to share any info I have. Its not a question of if we will return, just how quickly!! Thank you “On The Rocks” for sharing your wonderful home!
