Princess Margaretonce called the island of Mustique “the only place I can relax,” and now anyone can relax there — albeit for a hefty price.

The public is able to rent Les Jolies Eaux, the five-bedroom property that sits on the southernmost tip of the private Caribbean island and served as an escape forQueen Elizabeth’s younger sister. The price per week ranges from $33,000 to $47,000 depending on the time of year,according to the rental website.

Inside Les Jolies Eaux (whichPEOPLE previously reportedtranslates to “the beautiful waters”), “guests arrive through a courtyard and into the glorious Great Room with a view of the pool and the gardens giving way to the Caribbean Sea beyond,” according to the rental website. The front of the house leads to the extensive lawns running down to a hidden beach, and the home still boasts many of the same features Princess Margaret once enjoyed, including a dining pavilion beside the pool which is “open on all four sides, allowing the gentle breeze to keep guests cool as they unwind and soak up the ever-changing views and sense of history surrounding them."

The villa’s team includes a butler, a chef, a gardener and two housekeepers.
