Shared Bunk Room – Twin bunk, shared bathroom – $300
Do you need to get away but don’t have a lot of cash to be throwing around? This shared bunk room is the perfect option. Often, this room is not at capacity so you may have it to yourself anyway. If not, you and up to three (new?) friends will still get all the food, cozy downtime, and merriment, you’ll even have a dedicated bathroom that is NOT the main kitchen bathroom, you just won’t get spectacular views right when you wake up. You will have your own door to the beach path if you need to sneak off in the middle of the night. To pay the deposit via PayPal you can use this widget.
