Island living is certainly a different game. Definitely more private than most mainland spots but the luxury of not having the car at your finger tips isn't for all. It really comes down to preference. We looked at a fair amount of island spots before we ended up on the mainland. The biggest considerations IMO is having a slip on the mainland close to your island property and also picking an island that gives you protection from the wind. Places like Bear island, little Bear, whortleberry and cow island offer this. Having to get on/off the island quickly in the dark, in rain and wind is fairly easy in these spots. Not sure what age bracket you are in but maybe that is a consideration as well.
