Nope. Someone should start doing it.

Plenty. We have 8 (?) of them with us right now (till Spring Break), and there are probably a few thousand more around town.
We have a love - hate relationship with snowbirds (called "Winter Texans" here). They don't want to pay diddly squat, generally don't go out much, and the restaurant workers HATE them.
The VFW bartenders were on the verge of banning them, after they figured out that they were only averaging $1 tip per person when the Winter Texans attend in numbers. Most of the tips they did receive were from locals, which means the WTs weren't tipping at all.
In my case, they pay very little ($800 - $950/month) and wear out the facility at a terrific rate. We love them as people, though -- they're mostly from the Upper Midwest, so they are "our kind of people"-- but I'm honestly not sure they are worth it.

Spring Break is crazy and fun.
And peaceful, at our hotel. For that week only, we do not rent to anyone under a 25.

I wish we could make time for your offer, but life has been coming from together lately since we are in the process of moving homes. 
Would love to try to get out on some flounder or redfish.

One lesson I have taken from Glenn Fry and David Bowie is that there isn't a lot of time left.I wish we could make time for your offer, but life has been coming from together lately since we are in the process of moving homes.

Will you remember today in 20 years? Will you be here in 20 years?

Final Approach
Jay,
This skydive pilot job was just posted on Facebook.
"Needing a full time pilot for our 182s on Mustang Island TX (KRAS). Competently assist with management of the aircraft and hangar and your pay can be better than any Cessna DZ in the U.S! Lodging offered in downtown Port Aransas for a very reasonable fee. Call me at 361 537 3776 for details. (Local CFI and other GA opportunities are also plentiful.)."
So now there are two jobs open on your island.

Since it's a hangar, wouldn't it actually be a Garage Mahal?
