5 Affordable Caribbean Airbnbs You Can Book Right Now
There's never a bad time to indulge in a bit of self-pampering, and amidst these frigid temps, looking ahead to a tropical getaway will lift your spirits. (Especially when the trip won't break the bank).
According to Airbnb, there are currently five Caribbean destinations that offer affordable dream-like accommodations (with prices even lower in spring)-each averaging below $160 a night. Because there are so many homes to choose from, we selected a few located on the budget-friendly islands that'll give you serious wanderlust.
Guadeloupe
This is a spacious, top floor residence with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea located in Le Gosier, one of the most popular areas of Guadeloupe, according to TripAdvisor. The island boasts white sand beaches and thousands of acres of rainforest, so you can hike, or just luxuriate in the sun. The primary language of this relatively untapped region is French, so be prepared to brush up on your
"s'il vous pla?ts" and "mercis."
And if you're looking for affordable flights, Norwegian Air is known to have bargain fares to Guadeloupe.

Puerto Rico
With its stylish design touches, this is an exclusive Airbnb Plus listing, meaning it was viewed in-person for a 100-plus point quality inspection.
