How to find hotel alternatives in Hawaii
First and foremost this platform is just what you were looking for when it comes to finding hotel alternatives! By using this service can save you a ton of money versus staying at a hotel. Also benefits are that they are usually much more private and quiet! Another great part about VRBO’s is you can have amenities in these such as full kitchens. Next VRBO’s will have more rooms than a hotel can give you. Also if you would like to get fancy you might be able to find one with its own pool or hot tub! Lastly if you find something that you like please use my links below to book them (I get credit for anytime that you use my links to book a VRBO)

2. Find small hideaways!
This option is great if you are looking for a more private place to stay, below are a few places that I thought would be great places to stay for a reasonable rate.
A. Volcano Suite with Hot tub:
Visitors come to the Big Island to explore the volcano and beautiful black sand beaches. Take a four wheel drive up Mauna Kea and visit the second largest mountain in the world or take a drive down to Waipi’o Valley to take a refreshing dip in the ocean as you visit the Valley of the Kings. Cruise around the island in a day and see what this “Big island” has to offer.

3. Camping/Glamping
If you are more of an adventure seeker or on a very tight budget a good option for accommodations would be to camp or glamp. One major trend throughout the US is people turning their blank properties into camping areas to make some extra income, so they are very easy to come by. I listed a couple great options that are in Hawaii.
