ishoot308,
I think everyone who has posted so far have made so many great points. it's such an exciting time that your experiencing. I know, i just went through it about a year and a half ago. We bought a place on Rattlesnake, on the non-broads side. I really don't have any useful points to add, except that I think your making a great move going to an island. I actually thought I may not have liked the island property. And altough, it is a bit more work, it's worth it. I bought a fixer upper on rattlenake and have spent many weekends up there over the past 2 summers. It has been one of the most rewarding expeirences of my life. The island is such a peaceful place, and one which I can envision my daughters (3yr old and 5 yr old) enjoying over the next 15-20 years. When you are there it is as if the rest of the world stops moving and you truly get to relax.
As a side note, there is a place for sale right next door to mine. It is a very nice lot, with very good access to the mainland and rattlesnakes private dock. It is a least a 3 bedroom and it's going for low 200's (listed with cullen or curren I think). The dock is beat up, so many don't stop to look. But for the money, you won't beat this place. I wish it was on the market when we bought ours. Add to it that you have great neighbors, how can you go wrong.
Best of luck with your search
