I stayed in a fantastic house in the hills of Kauai with laundry, living room, kitchen and a view of waterfalls and the ocean and zero sightlines to any neighbors.

We had a whole floor to ourselves.
Use of the kayaks, bikes, other stuff.

We cooked there some and saved plenty of money that way and only paid $100 per night for the place. There were places cheaper than that too, even in Hanalei, with not as much privacy... but still nice.

Go off-season.

Our activites were hiking and visiting gardens and snorkeling and scuba.
Only the scuba was pricey.

Also, we brought mixers with us and bought rum so we could make our own drinks in the spectacular setting where we stayed.

That allowed us to really splurge when it was time to. Plantation Inn. A Pacific Cafe.

I cashed in FF miles for the tickets there and back.

I hate you for bringing this up, by the way.
sigh
I'm gonna spill a drink on you when I come to LA. And it won't be an inexpensive one.
