Island dreams

Caribbean Chapters (071-722 0722) overstates its scope 'properties to rent throughout the Caribbean', since it covers only a fraction of the islands, but you can hire a 72-acre island, Little St James, for pounds 975 per person per day based on two people (it works out at over pounds 40 an hour). The price includes free helicopter transfers to and from the airport at St Thomas, plus the exclusive services of a house manager, gardener, boatman and chef.
