Most people assume a vacation like that must cost tens of thousands of dollars.
But what if one of the best private island experiences in the Caribbean was actually far more affordable than most people realize?
And what if that island happened to be surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water, featured overwater cabanas, incredible food, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, and approximately 4.8 stars across hundreds of Google reviews?
