How about home owner insurance? I would imagine higher because it's going to be tough to patrol it or fight a fire. An island home has always had my interest because it just seems fun and offers a somewhat different way of life.

I am unaware of ANY crime on an island during the summer. That's not to say it never happens. Several years ago there were a sting of break ins on Bear during the winter. No serious damage or losses. Presumably people on snowmobiles. Then the police received two snowmobiles and the break ins stopped.
Insurance coverage requires a little work. Whenever an islander posts they are having problems with insurance many people (not islanders) will post telling them how great their agent is. The problem however, is that very very few underwriters will even consider covering an island home. You have to find the small minority that will. My underwriter is Lloyd of London.
