I've been waiting on someone with more knowledge than me to jump in with suggestions Carol. The access to a grocery is the sticking point and you are more familiar than I am but would HOTC be an idea of where to stay?

I think you could walk to Schooner Bay Market (or that newer convenience store) in Gallows Bay from the Schooner Bay condos and I think the HOTC launch may make a trip to the Gallows Bay dock for HOTC guests to walk over to the shops. Cathy would know better about that...

You can walk to Schooner from town, we have done it many times. HOTC probably would be more expensive than an apt. and they do not have full kitchens, but some might be able to make do.

Perhaps look at Craig's list http://virgin.craigslist.org/

or the Crusian Trader …newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

or VI Moving Center Classifieds http://www.vimovingcenter.com/talk/list.php?5

good luck
