Point taken, but to have a home (say 1,300sqft 3bed , 1 bath) on the mainland with owned waterfront is significantly more expensive than an island home. Since we are just looking for a summer vacation home I'm just trying to find out what gets us the best bang for the buck. There is a lot to consider and we are just weighing our options.
