Any reason why you would avoid places damaged by Hurricanes?
Every island is different. Some are back up and running, some have some areas hospitable, some still devastated, but "open for business" Think of it as doing good. Plus can probably get some great rates on properties via villa rental or VRBO as many are laying fallow.

I’m not ruling out going back to Anguilla this year. The place we stayed at last year just got power and re-opened. I’m waiting to see feedback and trip reports before committing. The SXM airport is still a bit of a mess, that’s a concern.
I’m certainly cognizant of those islanders needing tourists back and I’ve donated money to help as well, but I’m not willing to spend $10k on a vacation until I’m confident that things are at least close to normal.

The islands that were really hit bad need help, not tourists. I have a lot of friends in the USVI and the BVI and tourists are not what they want to see. Maybe in several months or later. For instance Caneel Bay and the Westin on St John are down until sometime in 2019.
Also, many rentals were gutted and are under repair. It isn’t the mainland. There’s a huge shortage of skilled labor to do repairs and rebuilds ina t8mely manner.
