They look so quaint and picturesque. Plus if you wanted to come to the mainland it’s just a ferry ride over. Doesn’t seem so bad.

Only if it has a direct ferry, otherwise it's a pain. My in-laws have a place on Saltspring and you go from there to Swartz Bay and then from there to Tsawwassen. It's a 30 min drive + wait + 25 min ferry + 30 min wait + 90 min ferry = minimum 3 hours to get to the mainland.
Of course if you can afford to buy a float plane you're good to go.
