Have not been to Freeport but been to a few out islands. You plan on living on a beach? Research the out islands. Exzuma sounds right for you. Fantastic, beautiful beaches, with water clarity like gin. Rent a small outboard and explore. Rent a car and explore on land, find your own beach. Good dining, no chain restaurants. Conch to eat everywhere. Eleuthra is also nice. You can try some of the others like Cat Island and Long Island, a little more remote. The Out Islands are really beautiful if you want peace and tranquility and very safe!
