The Bahamas may seem like an unfathomable dream getaway, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, there are plenty of ways to save money when traveling to the island destination. One of those ways is by choosing an Airbnb over a traditional hotel. While hotels are often the go-to lodging option, Airbnb offers a new and more inexpensive way to travel.
The one downfall of choosing an Airbnb may just be that there are too many accommodations to choose from. Luckily, we did the heavy lifting and searched for the best Airbnbs that are also affordable, averaging under $150 per night. Here are our top ten Airbnbs that are not only budget-friendly but also gorgeous and hosted by "Superhosts" who are required to be highly rated, experienced, and reliable.
10 Oceanfront Condo In Freeport
This gorgeous Airbnb in Freeport offers crystal blue sea views with all the comforts of home. What makes this accommodation even more of a steal is that it can host six guests since it includes three beds.
The best way to take advantage of Airbnb's low prices is by traveling with a group of friends or family and splitting the fees (or even heading there in December). This results in an unmatchable nightly rate that no Bahamas hotel can provide.
