I'd suggest you head over to St. John for those 4 days. My son recently did that after our 10 day sail in the BVI and enjoyed it. He found a nice condo through VRBO that was close to Cruz Bay which certainly solves the issue of being solo and wanting company. Beach options on St. John are more than you'll find on Tortola.
A second recommendation would be to head out to Anegada for 4 days.

I agree with Rhymers on CGB as well. But also Anegada. Ann's Cottages are now open on Cow Wreck Beach.

Does anyone have updates on Sebastian's in the West End ? We have reservations in Nov following 7 day Sunsail charter.
Thank you, Jonny Beachfront rooms and the restaurant are open as per our friend Toni Kelleman who is on island now.

I saw Ann's post but didn't catch the date. Thanks for clarifying Jason.

I think leverick is a great option for you as well. My heart will always be in Cane GArden Bay, but not sure they are ready for prime time, especially for a first timer. Leverick is also easy to get ferry to the airport or back to Tortola.

If you called and spoke with someone at Rhymers why didn't you just book during that call? Just curious. Should have done but they sounded like they were busy and I was expecting to have to read out my credit card details and have to wait for it to be checked and confirmed. I just figured that with a proper email address that could be achieved more easily by email! *snip* My heart will always be in Cane Garden Bay, but not sure they are ready for prime time, especially for a first timer. *snip*
Just gonna chill there for a handful of days, not expecting it to be a big entertainment hotspot with big parties or anything! A few rums, a couple of half-decent meals and a conversation or two with locals or other interesting visitors will fulfil my needs! Plus there's the Callwood Rum Distillery!!! Does anyone know if Cane Garden Bay has a working ATM? Or will I have to find my way to Road Town to use one? Thanks again for everyone's kind help here.

I would also recommend Leverick Bay, they have just remodeled their rooms which look amazing. There are in your price range and there is a fabulous atmosphere there. Bar on site which always has interesting people around and where you can chill out and meet new friends or be on your own, whatever your mood suits. Also they have amazing facilities, we normally stay in a villa but recently stayed in a hotel room. They have a very well stocked grocery store, pool, car rental, boat rentals, boat charters, the new snuba experience, new Arawak store, jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards etc and a fabulous spa ( ask for Simple!)
We had a delightful stay there, the new Manager Becky was wonderful, very friendly and welcoming, loved the food upstairs at the restaurant and the entertainment at the beach bar. We rented a car for just $50 for the day to explore and visit the Baths for the umpteen time, and went to hog heaven for the ribs and the view.. The girl at the snuba place was so wonderful and told us a lot of things to do and what was open and available, we will definitely be trying the snuba trip on our next visit, spent a fortune in the arawak store and as mentioned asked for Simple at the spa, loved the massage.

There is a small apt. over the hill from Sebastian's toward Long bay that may be available. Not a villa but inexpensive and within walking to beach, restaurants, etc. Beachrentalsbvi@hotmail.com.
