We stayed on GC for our first BVI experience 4 or 5 years ago and had a great time away from it all. We had a great Villa (Villa Oasis) that faced Marina Cay and VG and came with a 23' center console boat. We took it to Cam Bay, a small beach on Little Camanoe, Trellis Bay multiple times for breakfast, provisioning, etc, the Baths at sunrise one day when the weather allowed, Money Point, White Bay Guana Island and Marina Cay multiple times. We had our large provisioning order delivered to the Trellis Bay dock from Bobby's, they were close to on time. Then bought a few things throughout the week at the Trellis Bay market. The reef around Marina Cay has some decent snorkeling, you can also tie your small boat up to the dinghy line at Diamond Reef for some good snorkeling. I think we saw a turtle and a ray there last Oct.
