Nearest traffic light is 30 minutes. Nearest Tim Horton's is an hour. No WalMart AT ALL. It takes a ferry to get here (or float plane). And I don't live on an island. But bank, IGA, drugstore, butcher, bookstore, hardware/home center, and medical/dental all within 5 minutes. In a town of less than 1k in the winter.
Yes, it IS Paradise.
