Welp, the votes are in, Suzie approves, we have our location and name. We are living on San Juniper Island off the coast of California. So now we can discuss some of the finer details if anyone is interested in that sort of thing. I saw Adrian already made up some zip codes for us, which is pretty neat hehe. It occurs to me that the other two choices that got some votes would both work as street names. I like the idea of the main street with the hotel and the club being "Innocence Boulevard" and then the other street leading from the graveyard to the coughing dragon could be "Lonebrook Way" The reverse would work as well.
My feeling on exactly where off the California coast would be to leave it a little vague. Perhaps have a ferry be the primary method of travel to and from it, since after considering it a bridge would make it awfully close to the mainland. I'd say some sort of semi-popular tourist destination that gets really busy at certain times but is mostly quiet and semi-isolated. I say make the exact location nebulous because I have always gotten the vibe that it has warm-ish waters most of the time, and that wouldn't really fit with far nothern Cali, so leaving it undefined leaves it more open to interpretation of the forest, desert area or barrens and beaches and such. Obviously we have to be either talking about a big ass island for it to have some kind of desert, or we can just say the rocky desert maps were somewhere on the mainland where; I dunno, just throwing out ideas. Anyways other than figuring out what the climate is, and why it has the kind of businesses it does, I think we're all set with the background details ^-^.

Would it still be an island if there was some undersea tunnel that vehicles can cross ?
A bit like the one linking France and UK.

Geologically speaking, what defines an island is the fact the it is completely surrounded by water. Having a bridge or tunnel connection does not change that fact, as both are artificial man made structures.
In fact, even in some areas where a man made land bridge is constructed, the area still usually remains to be called an island.
A perfect example is Coney Island in New York. Sometime in the 1900's landfill was dumped into the bay to create a land bridge between Coney Island and the mainland. So, technically it is peninsula, but in practice, it's still called an island.

No, if you go by Sybil's original question it's straight forward. She asked about a tunnel or bridge (artificial man made structures). So, no doubt about it. It would still be an island.
