Love the coast? Then we have found your ideal Airbnb property - a moored RNLI lifeboat in the middle of the Scottish Hebrides.
For £50 a night, you and five friends could hunker down on the Alexandra Lifeboat and enjoy a peaceful stay on the waterfront - and not bump into a soul for miles.
Whilst the retired service boat has a celebrated history - being part of the rescue effort that saved a 65-ton ship off the coast of Norfolk - nowadays she's taking things a little easier and has set up home on the Cuan Sound, northwest Scotland.
After being bought and re-homed by the Fothergill family, the 6-berth boat underwent a slight transformation to make it more comfortable than in her working days.
The red and blue beauty, which sits prominently on the grassy landscape, is now fitted with a few essentials to make your stay comfortable, without losing her history or character.
A central table area has been fitted for everyone to huddle around after a long day of exploration, and a small kitchen fitted with fridge, microwave, kettle and hob provides everything you need to whip up a hearty Scottish meal.
The owners have also kitted out a nearby timber cove with a toilet and shower facilities.
Outside, a stunning vista spoils guests with sights of the calm waterway that separates the jagged hills of Seil Island and the craggy mountaintops on Luing Island.
Sounds pretty idyllic to us.
