Hi Becky Orient has a ton of great beach bars, most brand new this year after the 'cane, but is totally overrun with [censored], way worse than CGB. We stay on the beach in Grand Case, a very calm quiet spot with the best restaurants in de ilons, but spend a lot of days here: https://www.google.com/search?q=friars+b...AQIJA&dpr=1

What part of like JVD? Anegada can be like JVD. If remote quiet and quality is like JVD you cannot go wrong with http://www.petitstvincent.com/ You could also consider here: http://www.guana.com/What part of the JVD like are you trying to match or even avoid?

IWIWSE said: While PSV and Guana Island are nice enough if you can swing it, there are places to go that don't require the sale of any of your kids. Nesbit Plantation in Nevis comes to mind.
Mike During the day, sports clothes, shorts and sundresses are acceptable. In the evening, dress is smart casual. Jacket and tie are not required. Ladies, flat or wedge shoes are recommended as heels tend to dig into the lawn. Jeans, t-shirts and shorts are not permitted in the Great House after 6pm. However, from May to October gentlemen may wear dress shorts and a collared shirt at dinner.The rates are 500 to 1,000 a night plus lunch at daily lunch for $29 per person, per day excluding taxes and service charge.

Manpot said: I'd head straight to St Barth's.... I second this choice! Rent a Moke (if they still have them) and visit a different beautiful beach everyday. The food is great - it's as French as you are going to find in the Caribbean.

St. Martin and even Anguila are much bigger places with much to do. Many and in some cases far, far more people. Anguilla has the equivalent of over 600 hotel rooms. It is flat and the beach certainly incredible. Anegada on steroids maybe? The BVI is so popular because it is easy and almost the US. Burgers, wings, and fries are on every menu for US dollars. There is no easier charter boat sailing. For some once they experience the food and flavor of the french islands they never want to go back to the VI again. The french islands which are not marketed to the US are very interesting. Guadeloupe is really a set of islands where you can bareboat or pick one like Jost or Anegada to relax, eat, and explore the quiet culture. http://www.guadeloupe-islands.com/guadeloupe-islands-2/The Guadeloupe Islands have something for everyone except those that only want an american suburb. The ferries do work in Guadeloupe.

Mdsmurph said: Hey Kermit; My wife turns 40 in May and I have tried hard at talking her into another bareboat charter but she wants to also "try something different" for her 40th and stay somewhere where she will be waited on. We have decided on Anguilla also because the beaches are supposedly great. Where do you plan on staying?.. We are currently looking at all the choices. Why not compromise and do a crewed charter? That's what we did for my wife's 40th.
