Seven Private Islands in New England to Rent This Summer
From Connecticut to Maine, make your weekend plans more interesting with these secluded isles.
You don’t have to be Billy McFarland to recognize that owning a private island is the ultimate status symbol. The lush nature, the serenity of land surrounded by water, and the knowledge that the only people you have to talk to are the ones you’ve chosen to go to said island with all add up to a serene experience. But if the commute from island to work is a little too strenuous, or island buying isn’t exactly in your budget, these Airbnb rentals are a little more within reach.
So, recharge this summer with some alone time à la Cast Away (but on purpose and with running water instead of Wilson), or round up some friends and throw an island party—just don’t call it Fyre Fest.
