Top Airbnb stays for under $500

1. Your own private island

For $500 a night, this 10-acre private island in Fiji can be all yours. The island accommodates 10 people and comes with two Fijian style homes, snorkel, kayak and fishing gear, a guide and housekeeper and the option of a private chef. The island is home to the breeding grounds of Hawkesbill and Leatherback turtles and 15 acres away from anything else.

2. Become British royalty in a traditional English castle

This “ancient” castle is located in Kirkby Stephan, England and costs just $157 per room per night. Built in 1841 as a Victorian gentleman’s folly, bedrooms are equipped with four-poster beds, roll top baths and fireplaces. In addition to guests, the 20-acre estate is host to pigs, goats, chickens and Maisie the Cocker Spaniel.

3. Entire (grounded) plane, Teuge, Netherlands

At $483 per night, use of this entire plane is a bargain compared to most private jets (although this one must stay grounded). This refurbished plane comes with a Jacuzzi, infrared sauna and a technical meeting facility. Hang out in the plane's cockpit or just admire landings and takeoffs from the window of the bedroom suite.
