Who doesn't want to have an entire island paradise? Even if it is just for one weekend, it will be a trip you'll never forget.
To help cut costs, this isn't a trip to do solo. When you split the price between a few friends, it isn't any more than your average Airbnb.
While the Secluded Oceanfront Island or Bohemian Retreat price might give you a shock at first, it is actually affordable. Each guest would be paying under $100 a night.
Plus, if you opt for an island on the Sunshine Coast, that price includes three meals a day.
The main thing you'll want to keep in mind before you book is transportation. These vacation rentals are surrounded by water, so you'll need to check if the host arranges a boat shuttle or water taxi.
