I love living on an island, it's private and secluded, I have great neighbors. Property values are a little less, but you probably need a boat slip. Some services are hard to get on the islands.
The larger islands have phone and electricity at the same rates. However if your phone goes dead in April, it will not be fixed till Verizon puts its boat in the water around June 1. You probably will not have cable or DSL.
Your property is almost useless several months of the year.
You do have some great conversations like "yes, it really is an island.... no, no bridges.... no ferry either.... no, no stores, roads or cars..... by boat, only by boat..."
