If your goal is to get away from the stress of city life it can be very stressful getting there.

Just sayin!
Our trip from Long Island is about 7 hours door to door. The people a few cabins down the island (Rattlesnake) drive all the way from Arizona! Neighbors used to come up from Atlanta. Island life is so unique it's worth the little bit extra time. It's like when you go to Disney in Orlando and you take the boat across the lake to the Magic Kingdom - you enter another world! The stress just falls away as you pull out of your slip and head out towards the island that awaits.

...but then I'm a little biased
