You can also scan craigslist for vacation beach packages, short term sublets, housing swaps, AirB&B, live-work situations, and other alternative accommodations.
Save even more money by booking your flight, hotel, and car online, all at the same time.
For maximum savings, reserve your flight, car, hotel reservations, and vacation beach packages at least two weeks in advance.
To get started, simply visit Priceline, search your desired dates and destination, then click the "Name Your Own Price" option.
Beware that certain rules apply to naming your own price on priceline.
