It looks better over time, I'm not one for that type of environment; beach, hot climate. It wouldn't be a place I would want to live in, but a nice place to visit for a vacation. Was on a cruise once and loved it, so I think I would enjoy building a houseboat and living on the ocean. Surprising, took a vacation where there was a lot of flat land and just didn't like it, felt uncomfortable, too exposed. But the flat ocean, nothing in sight; replace the grass, empty fields with water yet I enjoyed it, found it relaxing.
Anyhow, I think it would be a fun town, swim with sharks (trying to not get eaten!) finding treasure, mermaids, the kracken, maybe building a resort, definitely exploring the ocean islands. A vacation from the two towns I love, MF and RV, with MV becoming a third favorite.
I do hope they have lots and lots of empty lots, and not the to small sizes or 20 x 30, but plenty of 40 x 40 or 50 x 50 lots. Might be hard to do on an island, though.
It will be later after it becomes available that I can afford to buy it, Dragon Valley comes first, but am looking forward to getting it.
