There are drawbacks, but it was what worked for us to get the lifestyle that we wanted.

Congratulations, nhjenny!!! Which island did you buy on? We also purchased our Rattlesnake Iisland property when our oldest son had three years of high school left. It was the most amazing thing that we ever could have done for our family! These memories will be forever treasured! Now that our boys are grown and off living their own lives, it is hard as we miss them being with us all the time like they used to be. We do savor each and every second that we get when they do make the trip and look forward to making more.
Island living is the absolute best!
Please feel free to PM or e-mail me with any questions. This is going to be the best summer ever for you and your family! Enjoy your new adventure!
