Did you retire there or just a second house to enjoy? We're looking south of you.
I moved here for retirement but we are both still working and still will be for a while. neither of us want to stop working but we have not going at it as hard as I have been the past 15 years. Ive slowed a little bit

The cooler isn't the worst idea either.
Yea, I was thinking about the counter top unit for when we just had a few friends over and if we had a bunch of people over, which we do from time to time, then I would just fill a cooler and be done with it.
I keep my boat at a storage facility near my shop and I have free ice there. I just dont need a huge ice machine at home anymore

I don't think you are going to find a countertop one that will make enough for a large gathering.
Most of the storage for them isnt' very much, usually a pound of ice, and the ice is always melting that's in the storage bin. If the bin is full, 3-4 people will use all of the ice in it easily, and it'll take probably 45-60 minutes to fill it back up.
It's irritating that there isn't much of an inbetween option from a $100-200 countertop ice maker that doesn't keep ice frozen long term, and a built in ice maker that cost over $1,000 and much more if you want anything other than the shitty square pieces of ice.
I don't understand why they can't make a bullit or nugget ice maker that can hold just about 3-5 lbs of ice, but be able to keep it frozen so you always have ice available. Just something slightly bigger than the normal countertop ones and has a dedicated water line.
The best one out there looks like the GE Opal Nugget ice maker. It holds 3lbs of ice, and makes a pound an hour, although it doesn't keep the ice from melting, but that's a decent capacity.
