We like both for different reasons. Leverick is the best deal you can get, plus you've got Nick and Monica. And it is a great place to see Virgin Gorda. So I think there's a lot more to do at Leverick.
Scrub - has an awesome pool. Especially for us having a 2.5 year old who loves to swim and loves the water slide. Next visit I'm sure he'll be on the slide on his own over and over! I will add, that if it wasn't for our son, Scrub would be at best, an occasional visit where Leverick a stop we make every time, almost always for at least 2 nights, often more.

Depends a little on crew ages, how much time you plan to spend ashore, and the weather. Our crew of 11, including 4 kids ages 8-14, were at Leverick (Friday night Jumbies) and Scrub in June, in that order, although not back-to-back. When the weather turned a little cool and overcast after our first night at Scrub, we opted to stay a second night. The two Scrub pools, waterslide, trampoline and (rental) Hobie Waves and SUPs kept the kids well occupied for many hours, while some of the adults snorkeled Diamond Reef a quarter mile away by dinghy or took the free ferry to Marina Cay and Trellis Bay. But, we have also toured VG by truck in the past, another way to fill up a day. We like both, and will return to each again.

I had a fairly large audience when trying to slip my 14.2Beam yacht into a 14.8 foot wide slip at Scrub...the rub (back winded, forward current). I had called 2 months prior to going there to make a reservation with all my detail( beam, draft,footage ). Found out, yep, I was "on a list" but that list was first-come-first-served, I spent 3 hours going in circles. Due to that, I told them I would fine them 5,000 dollars. They laughed, and said "you can't do that"...I stopped going there. Fine enforced, 5 stays.
I would NEVER expect that at Leverick. We find that to be a welcome haven.

jredenbaugh said: Thank you all for all the input. We are not "resort" people and prefer our deserted beaches over chairs lined up for rent. We were not excited about our over night at Marina Cay last time on our way from North Sound to Jost. We were looking for an alternative... What didn't you like about Marina Cay? We always enjoy a stop there.

Patriche said: We always do both - typically Leverick as the stop prior to Anegada and Scrub on the way back. You can't beat Leverick for Nick and his friendly staff and when the upstairs restaurant is open it is some of the very best fine dining in the islands. Top off on water and ice and it's a 2 hour run to the Setting Point on Anegada.
After 2 days on the sand at Cow Wreck, Scrub is a fun couple of days to get clean and cool and the swim up bar is just plain fun. If they'd only air condition the showers. Do not miss the slide to the lower pool and dinghy over to snorkel at Diamond Reef or take the ferry over to Trellis for the full moon party. We like Tierra Tierra as a consistently fun, low key dining experience but have had mixed experiences at Caravella.
In terms of the Marina, the docks at both are in very good condition and the staff at both are very professional and helpful. Both have TTOL rates and make it an easy decision to plan to stop at each.
In fact we'll be at Leverick tomorrow night (and maybe Tuesday) and Scrub next Wednesday and Thursday. Old friends at both and we visit 3-4 times a year.
