I've been there in May a couple of times and you'd be there near the
beginning of the official mosquito season. A couple of years ago we
stayed at a place right on the bay the week before the official start
day (something like May 17th) and it wasn't bad. Beware of ticks,
however, as they can be found in bushy areas as early as March.

John, how do they enforce the start of the season on the mosquitos?

It's quite unenforceble, and the "official" date I read just came off a
local island paper. Obviously, the weather will have a lot to do with when
mosquitos really start to become a problem. From my experience as a
flyfisherman it seems that insects are very temperature sensitive,
especially aquatic insects. Mayflies start hatching when the water
temperature reaches 50 degrees and different species will hatch at different
times of the year as the water warms up.
