A couple of places people could stay on the island include:
http://www.vrbo.com/292497 I've talked to this owner a few times, Joyce Hartwick. This home is not waterfront, but it seems like it's a lot of bang for your buck. It sleeps 10 people and comes with a car. For $800/week! It rents Sunday to Sunday.
