Maybe because it’s freezing in NYC and winter seems endless—but I’ve been finding my mind wandering to warmer places.
Everyone I know seems to have winter escapes on the brain, as well. Yesterday, a friend sent me this link—and I was immediately intrigued!
She and her fiance had stumbled across Private Islands of Georgia via HGTV.
When I think of private islands, I envision poshy enclaves way out in the South Pacific or Indian Ocean. (i.e. places I’d love to visit but are just a tad out of reach, monetarily, at the moment!)
But these islands look way more accessible.
And affordable.
And perfect for a long weekend with a big group of friends.
These snapshots of Eagle Island sold me:
The flat, watery landscape is so different from NYC. I find it gorgeous, yet mysteriously romantic. And the lodge looks like the perfect mix of rustic and modern.
One other huge selling point: You can catch blue crabs there! My fave!
Who’s up for a trip to Georgia?

Yes please!! Never even heard of this but the pictures are amazing. Looks soooo relaxing!
I’ve only visited Niagara Falls, which takes tourists drenchingly close! These falls look gorgeous! And looks like its totally worth it to get up early and beat the hordes of tourists. Nice photos рџ™‚
