When you think of someone owning or staying on a private island, you probably think of that only being for the rich and famous. But believe it or not, you can actually go on an island escape without breaking the bank near Georgia. This private island Airbnb rental is calling you and five of your friends' names.

The Private Islands of Old House Cay is available through all vacation home booking sites, including Airbnb. Located just off the coast of Hilton Head Island, you'll only need to take a 45-minute drive from Savannah, Georgia to get there.

This spot runs for about $493 a night, but when you split that among you and your five closest friends, it comes out to be around $82 per person each night.

Have you picked your jaw up from the ground yet? While that may be a bit more than what you might pay for splitting the costs on a standard hotel stay, you'll get a unique experience on an entire island with stunning ocean views.

The area is a series of inter-connected private islands. There's the house you'll be staying in, an observation tower for lush panoramic views of the water and natural wildlife, and three full acres that you can explore.

The home is beautiful, with touches of rustic coastal charm that's been polished and sophisticated. It has three bedrooms, four beds, and 2.5 bathrooms. There's even a full kitchen, sitting area, and spot to do laundry just in case.

Outside, you'll find a large fire pit with chairs surrounding it for those late-night talks and roasting marshmallows while stargazing.

You can enjoy boating, fishing, and kayaking if you're looking for active ways to enjoy the shores or just kick back with a cocktail and a good book while lounging in the shade instead.

The island is only accessible by boat, and the hosts will sail you there and back. And while you're only about 10 minutes away from Hilton Head Island, superhosts Sarah and Bill say you'll feel like you're miles away from it all.

Airbnb

With an overall rating of 4.97 stars out of 5 from 67 previous guests, you know you're in for an awesome stay. Reviews rave about the location and overall experience, saying that the secluded location makes for some seriously picturesque scenery.

And I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to lounge in the hammock while looking out over the water?

The photos from this listing showcase some indescribable views, and you get to wake up to them every single morning without the sound of passing cars or people around you.

Can you say paradise?
