Hotel Recommendations? Early 30s, no kids, on a budget.

My husband and I are headed to Kauai with family for a memorial for my grandparents in mid July of this year (we don%26#39;t have any family living in Hawaii). The family has a condo rented for most of the time but I%26#39;m also researching possible hotels, condos or B%26amp;Bs to stay at for a few days to get away with my husband.

Any recommendations you have are greatly appreciated. We%26#39;re in our early 30s, no kids, hanging out on the beach and snorkeling would be our main activities. Budget options are preferred but we%26#39;re willing to spend more if we can find something ideal.

So far places I%26#39;ve seen require a week stay - we%26#39;d only be doing 2 or 3 nights for this part of our stay. Help!

The family will be in the Kapaa area, but recommendations for anywhere on the island is fine. We%26#39;re also looking into Maui and Ohau since I%26#39;ve only ever done Kaui and husband has only done the big island.

I%26#39;ll dig through the forum for other posts but would love any input you%26#39;d like to post here.

Thanks for reading!

We really enjoyed this place last summer, not right on the beach, but close and centrally located to everything. It is on the river and that was a lot of fun. Candace is great.

Hotel Recommendations? Early 30s, no kids, on a budget.

Thank you for the recommendation, that place looks like heaven! Unfortunately, it%26#39;s booked for a part of the week we%26#39;d be there, so not an option for us. .

I liked staying at the Hanalei Surfboard House, which you can find here: http://www.hanaleisurfboardhouse.com/

or on VRBO.com

It is a block from Hanalei Bay and very low-key. It would be a fun change from a condo, and the north coast is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, funky restaurants, and general exploring. There is a lovely charm to actually staying in Hanalei.

In July, I%26#39;d recommend the north shore if you want to hang out on the beach and snorkel. Even though many places do have a one week minimum stay, you can often check out their on-line calendars and see if they have 2 or 3 nights that aren%26#39;t booked between two other bookings. If that%26#39;s the case, most owners will be happy to rent for a shorter period.

Check out Princeville condos on vrbo.com or http://www.summitpacificinc.com/.In particular, you might check out Sealodge if you%26#39;re on a budget. The units are fairly small, but have great ocean views and they are quite reasonably priced.

I would echo desertbeachlover exactly - can%26#39;t hurt to try to book something.

I also use www.vrbo.com and

good luck! :)

Look at studios or hotel rooms at HBR. 30 minutes from Kapaa but worlds away. Budget friendly with a resort feel.

Sealodge is an option but only 2 or 3 units have a/c. Great views.

Another favorite of mine is Kuhio Shores in Poipu.
