Island Living Questions

[Coolbreeze]

Rent before you buy. Island living is not for everyone. High labor costs both personally and financially. Lots of self dependency is needed.

I don't think year round is possible unless you have an air boat. And even then, it would be tough for the average person. But anything is possible if there is a will, there is a way. I just don't have the will.

We look at island properties all the time. Plan is to live on the island in the summer and rent our place. The commute and not being able to live there year round is a deterrent for us.
