Funny, my first thought was, sounds like an island I'd want to get off of.... Then my second thought was, sure would be nice, I'm packing my bags.
One would have to get water. Some sort of catchment type stuff. I dunno, I would think if you had a floating platform just 5-8' down, you could farm your own fish and seaweed. That would also take care of the weather problems (maybe).
Problem is, where would the cash come from? Even if you had a bunch of semi wealthy people throwing in half a million, wouldn't seem like enough. You'd have to make it a resort type of attraction, but then doing that would ruin the private island feel. Maybe a two islands, one private and one public (to make the money) so people on the private island can afford to live.
