We also like to have people over for cards/drinks but on an island they either stay over or have to leave before it gets too dark.

Well I think it's the fear of the unknown that has you worried. It's not that bad and if you take your youngest out in the boat now, making the trip back and forth to an island is not that big a deal, in fact depending on where you were to buy sometimes it's literally less than a 5 minute ride. Obviously where you consider purchasing would be key but there are plenty of properties that are a short ride and not across big rough water.
Far as entertaining goes, my neighbor has loads of people over all the time and taking the boat out at night, before I bought my place on Bear I thought people who do that are insane, well I've become insane, do it all the time. Not a big deal once you know your way... Just saying don't psych yourself out, it's really not that big a deal, if it was nobody would do it.
Oh and I second the recommendation for Nancy and her husband Doug, they are the best, island property or not.
