The island paradise is the creation of Andy Hill. Hill moved from Atlanta to the coast in 1984 because he wanted to spend his days on the water, not just dreaming about it.

Hill owns nine islands in total, collectively known as the Private Islands of Georgia. Eagle Island is one of the collection's crown jewels.

"Eagle Island was a big project," Hill said. "It took two years to complete and about 380 boat trips of materials. We've been running it as a vacation rental for the last 13 years."

Eagle Island is 10 acres, the Eagle Lodge is the only structure on it and it's surrounded by marshland and water. When guests book the lodge, they'll be on the only people on the island.

Since Hill owns property on nearby Sapelo Islands, guests on Eagle Island can boat over to Sapelo and spend the day.
