Where the USVI is concerned and St Thomas in particular:
1. Doable. On a small island nothing is too far from anywhere. I live up high on the cool North side and am five minutes away from Hull Bay and 8 minutes away from Magens Bay. Prefer to be on this side and high up for cool breezes and no need for A/C.
2. Plenty of nightlife opportunities on island, active bar scene, etc.
3. Next to no surfing here except on high sea days at the aforementioned Hull Bay. None of the VIs are surfing destinations.
4. One golf course, some hiking - more hiking on St John which is a short ferry ride away. No biking.
5. Yes.
6. Not doable. You need a car here.
7. Plenty of opportunities but not from off island. Hundreds of people every year think of moving here but employers won't even respond to off-island enquiries for the most part. You move then look.
An excellent source of information is the VI Moving Center which is a site specifically designed for those thinking of moving here. You'll find a ton of valuable information there. Good luck!
PS: "Defiantly" and "definitely" mean very different things.
