It's true, we're getting something called an Island Sanctuary. However the dev team hasn't said anything about it offering housing. The community, myself included, is just hoping that it will.

We have no idea what Island Sanctuaries will entail other than letting your minions run/roam around in some unknown capacity.
Hopefully we'll find out mid May at the Fanfest.
Confirmed features: Having minions out, crop growing, animal raising, instanced island. Trades will be possible inside the Island, so at least there'll be a way to travel between islands.
Not confirmed but people are very hopeful: Housing inside the instanced island.
Edit: About "the point of having a house"... well... having it? Personal decoration, FC HQs, Explorations are still done via FCs, as well as all the glamours made in the Workshops... RP Venues, too. Mine is decorated as a Marketplace with a Tavern in the Bottom Floor and a Café on the Top Floor, it's quite nice just to hang there.

I'm more or less expecting it to be heavily similar to the private islands in XI.
I believe they mentioned somewhere about it being a primarily solo experience, so friends, FC members, etc, might not be able to visit your island. I can't imagine it offering housing if that is the case, maybe a glorified inn room if anything.
The point of housing areas is so that you can have neighbors. This means that the number of houses is limited though.
They can make them instanced but that means you won't have neighbors. You can argue it is instanced with rooms and apartments, which are not very expensive.
The islands aren't really about housing but about gardening and being a farmer. The aim of it is to create more roleplay content that allows you to live a second life in this fantasy world.
It most likely will be instanced for those that haven't been lucky in housing, if they ever decide to go with that idea.
I imagine it's similiar to Rune Factory, since it's an RPG and essentially like Harvest Moon. You have the RPG side of things and the farming simulation when you tire of fighting stuff.

"I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
