My family is on Sleeper's island. We absolutely love it. As someone previously said, even though mainland is a couple hundred yards away, we feel so much more removed from it so it really is that much more of an escape. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is a vacation every weekend.
Also, as previously stated, the weather can be an issue. We've come across from WAM in some pretty nasty storms before.
Wherever you decide to look, definitely consider how much sun exposure you will have and how much you want. The sun starts warming up our deck in the morning and it shines on us all day (which we also love). We have been to some other houses where the tree cover is so thick or the island itself casts a shadow such that the sun only shines for a short time during the day. Other things to consider are the view (if that is important to you), boat traffic, etc.
Hope this helps!
