The ferry web page quite clearly says visitors are allowed (there appears to be a visitor lane and a resident lane):

Apparently residents aren't charged a fee for the use of the ferry, though.
I believe they all pay some sort of maintenance fees, although looking online it seems that there is ferry service for visitors. When I asked my relatives before about it they said the ferry was just for island residents and other people can't go there, I've never tried, wasn't that interested in seeing Tim Allen's house.
adding: those $10 fees ight be just for invited guests, the only other thing I remember from what they have said was I could go there on the ferry if I had a reservation for the restaurant there.
