If you are among the many millions whose wish for a vacation house has passed the talking stage, the Islander may be your perfect answer. You will seldom encounter such an attractive four-bedroom house that sells for about $21,000. You can live in the Islander half the year, close it up or rent it for the other half, and still feel free of upkeep worries. Later on, when the teenagers are grown, it can become a carefree retirement house. A simple rectangle, the house is divided into three sections: the children's bedrooms and bath, the living-dining area, the master bedroom-bath and kitchen. Combined, the living and dining space becomes a 16' x  24' room, flexible enough for almost any scale of entertaining. A rear terrace can be divided so that both living room and master bedroom open to private outdoor sitting areas. The kitchen is a separate room with a convenient entrance to the garden, especially advantageous for the comings and goings of children.
