Darn it there is competition out there!!! Mopsymonroe you are pursuing the exact same thing I am, a piece of island property. I can't give you any advice per say, heck I've not even gone so far as to rent a place just to see what it's like, but I can tell you that I don't need to because the lure of "being away from it all" is good enough for me, along with the lower initial price.
So since you brought the subject up I've also got some questions in regards to the Rattlesnake Is Assoc some of which you brought up. I believe there are other islands that may too have associations although I have not yet gotten far enough into my search as of yet to discover which others may or may not.
So if anyone would be willing to field a few questions I have I'd greatly appreciate it as well and getting first hand advice on how you handle basic logistics would be really helpful too. I've been thinking about this for years now and have some ideas on how I'd do some things, but first hand experience is worth a heck of a lot more than my speculation. I'm not yet to the point of making an offer on anything, just starting out making inquiries....
At least I'm a couple steps ahead of you Mopsymonroe, already got a boat and have sleds for the winter time.
Best of luck in your pursuit and you're smart to tap into this forum. There are a lot of really nice and very helpful folks on here.
