Why take a vacation to an island when you can live on one? Turns out, you don't always need to spend a fortune to live in paradise.

We teamed up with Trulia to find some of the most affordable island and beachfront homes in the US, and there were plenty for sale under $1 million.

There's a contemporary home surrounded by palm trees in Honolulu, Hawaii; a Southern-style country house complete with picket fence and front porch in Savannah, Georgia; and a modern condo right across the bay of San Diego.

There's even a charming cottage in the Hamptons, home to the most expensive zip code in New York and multi-million dollar real estate. The median asking price for a home in the Hamptons at the end of 2018 was $2.19 million, according to Out East, but the gem we found is listed for only a little over a quarter of a million dollars.

From Florida to Maine, scroll through below for a look at some island homes across the US that will make you feel like you're on a never-ending vacation.
