Fantasizing about living on Mackinac Island year round, any locals to give us the scoop?

This has been a dream for us sine we married about 10 years ago that we are rekindling. I am a Michigan native who has visited every year as has my husband, who is originally from Minnesota. We know to make the dream of reality will take a ton of work, planning and sacrifice and that it needs to be a distant goal. But here I am getting my feet wet ;) any tips, experiences, advice would be appreciated and I would love to meet some year round folks in general. Thanks!
