^^ What RavYak said.
Except you can get balloon tires for the Hobie cart that make it much easier to cross sand.
I use a ProAngler 12', and my wife loves her Outback. Either of us can go out solo, with friends, or both as a couple. My wife prefers two yaks rather than a tandem, as we can cruise along side by side, (and with a peddle yak, you can be very close together), and she can talk and talk and talk and see me nodding so she thinks I'm paying attention, rather than yelling over her shoulder and waiting for a 'yes dear' response. For her, kayaking is primarily social, and secondarily - exercise. For me, it's all about fishing.
If your wife is of a smaller stature, she may prefer the much lighter Hobie 'Sport' - very easy to wheel down to the lake. My wife started off with a Sport, but ..... grew out of it.
No doubt there will be lots of other people of all ages kayaking on your lake. Meeting other yakkers on the water, and arranging kayaking dates is common. It's a great way to make new friends in your neighbourhood. Not so much with regular boats.
We also have an Adventure Island, but I use that only for sailing. I used to get annoyed at those winds that come up every afternoon on the lake, but now I look forward to them! My home-made Adventure Island cart is easy to load/unload with one person and is made with skinny bicycle wheels so it transports very well over hard surfaces, but not too well in sand.
