Admittedly Island Living is not for everyone. With that said I have had the privledge of experiencing both. We used to have mainland waterfront and now we have Island Waterfront. I can honestly say that Island Living is a whole different ballgame. Though not without a few downsides it is truly the best experience for me. Island Living is so detached from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No cars, no traffic, trips to the store are a nice boat ride. Neighbors pitch in to help one another whenever a need arises. Boating on those questionable days when the lake is empty (because the mainlanders mostly stay off the lake in rain.) Some days I have felt like I have the whole lake to myself. It truly is a great and satisfying experience, just think we begin and end every weekend with a boat ride. Nothing can compare.
