We do Guavaberry On Virgin Gorda. Love the area, its close to lots of fun restaurants and the beach is superb. You can always drive over the hill to get a NS fix. Take the free ferry to Bitter End, Saba or Fat Virgins.

St John is great! You can rent a car right when you get off the ferry dock. If you want a little gem of a place to stay, check out String of Pearls http://www.vrbo.com/64481 We stayed there last year and loved it. It was also a two minute walk to the Westin from there. They have a great bar, pool, dinghy rentals, etc. You can go to a different beach every day. :-)

First thing to do post charter is to immediately book the next charter! We stay with Pam and Matt at a B&B called "At Home in the Tropics" right below Blackbeard's Castle and above the Governor's House in CA. Best B&B we've ever stayed at. Can't say enough good things about Pam and super convenient to walk everywhere from the ferry to Yacht Haven Grande. Immaculate... http://athomeinthetropics.com/index.htm

We usually do a few days on St John after sailing. It is total relaxation!
Love sailing the BVI's with friends.

We've got a lot of St. John visits behind, and ahead, of us. Winter we prefer the western exposure (sunsets and warmer swimming pool) of Cruz Bay, Great Cruz Bay, Chocolate Hole, Devers Bay and Hart Bay. There are a lot of options through there. VRBO works well for location based search and a lot of the management companies are now listing inventory on VRBO.
We stayed at Grande Bay condos for the first time in October after Cat Fight. It was very convenient, but lacked the views and privacy of a villa.
Cheers, RickG

We've stayed on St John many times. Headed there later this week. Let me know what your budget is and maybe I can help you.
Love sailing the BVI's with friends.
