I stayed in several guest houses during my time there. I also took some tours around the island. Wandering was probably the best part. The locals were extremely friendly and helpful, not to mention a riot during late nights at the pub...
If I was younger and my job allowed it, certainly. I think they are close to getting an undersea fiber optic internet connection, which could make it an ideal place for someone able and willing to due a stint working remotely.
St Helena is beautiful and the people are great, but there isn't "much to do." It's like living in the countryside. If that's your vibe -- or you have a novel you want to hunker down on -- it's an ideal place.

Would you go back for an extended stay of more than, say, 6 months?
