If you stay on St. Thomas, try to get a place on Peterborg with a view of Magen's Bay.

Also, be aware that parts of St. Thomas are quite poor. And, if you drive, have fun....

I agree with Dong. St. Johns is cool. You need a passport for St. Johns though. It is very cool and there are sugar mill ruins that are pretty cool to see. Best Snorkeling ever for me, and I've been a lot of cool places, is the Ritz Carlton hotel bay area on St. Thomas. The Marriott property on St. Thomas, pre storm, was also a very cool property. The have beach front villas which are nice, and right on the beach or they have a typical resort hotel on the "cliff" with free shuttles to downtown and the straw markets.
I've done 3 Kat sails out of Tortolla as well, best Trips ever, and the cost are pretty reasonable if you have a family or some other couples then you can see much more, Virgin Gorda, the Baths, the Indians, Jost Van Dyke-Soggy Dollar, Willy-Ts Bay Bar...
