I agree. And Kiawah is more MV.
Yeah, because ChatGPT has never been to either...

Everywhere is different. Why do people want to compare places? This is so silly!
There's no multiple MVs and only one Maine. There's only 1 Paris and 1 Chicago. It's like asking what 2 people are alike.
Enjoy the E and enjoy the S. It's different cultures and cities and seasons.

Here's what ChatGPT thinks:
Southern Martha’s Vineyard Equivalents
(polish, clubs, heritage, curated social scene)
Sea Island, GA → crown jewel, old money, resort club culture
Figure Eight Island, NC → gated, ultra-private, no commerce, basically Southern Vineyard but without the crowds
Gasparilla Island / Boca Grande, FL → genteel “Old Florida,” quiet wealth
Southern Nantucket Equivalents
(windswept, isolated, understated, landscape-first)
Kiawah Island, SC → golf + marshland, nature-driven luxury
Bald Head Island, NC → ferry-only, no cars, golf carts + timeless feel
Daufuskie Island, SC → boat-only, rustic, strong cultural history
Hilton Head kind of straddles Sea Island and Kiawah Island — busier and more accessible, so it loses a little of that “exclusive island” mystique.

Kiawah island, the montage palmetto bluff, really all of Charleston.

Nine are similar because they are all easily accessible by bridge

Kiawah, Sullivans Island or Sea Island but definitely not Tybee!

Not sure there are really equivalents when they are in different regions of the country. Jekyll Island in Georgia has some more historical significance than other islands in the South, but if you're talking upscale maybe it's Hilton Head, Kiawah, and Figure Eight Island. Ocracoke is, or used to be, quite distinctive but I wouldn't compare it to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard.
I've only been to Kiawah and Ocracoke among all these places, but discovered one of my 9th GGFs was Peter Folger, who was a big deal on Nantucket in the late 1600s.
