FOR around $14,000 a week, you can now rent your own private island in Bermuda.

Perot's Island, a stone's throw from Riddell's Bay, is being advertised by Private Islands Online.

The eight-acre estate offers one of the most extensive private shorelines in Bermuda and includes a three-storey 17,000 square-foot main residence, recreation facilities, several docks, boathouse with deep-water berths and greenhouse.

Special features in the main residence include a Bermuda cedar-panelled library, marble hearth, cedar surround fireplaces, Great Room with gallery and a circular lounge with special lighting features.

A separate, mainland property provides private access to the island via its own dock and includes a charming two-storey cottage with garage.

Amenities include a heated swimming pool with cabana, paddle tennis court and putting green.

Private Islands Online says the island nature of the estate "affords maximum privacy and desirability, as there are few estates of this magnitude in Bermuda".
