Another call out for Kona and Jack's Dive Locker. For that matter, here's my condo in down town available for rent. Contact me to book directly and avoid fees....:) https://www.vrbo.com/1638855?adultsCount=2&noDates=true

I'd go to Kure Beach. https://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals?swLat=33.97778217817374&swLong=-77.91737560255126&neLat=34.02481614445782&neLong=-77.88433078748778&zoom=14&page=1®ion=4080&from-date=2017-07-16&to-date=2017-07-20&maxprice=300&searchTermContext=8 f4243 d7-bece-428 a-a463-e19 b386 e4 fa5&searchTermUuid=8 f4243 d7-bece-428 a-a463-e19 b386 e4 fa5 With your budget you should be able to stay right on the ocean. This town has enough to do, but not so much that it's a tourist trap.

Virginia beach is about 6 hrs from NY. Search Sandbridge and Croatan beach for house rentals.

Another vote for Virginia Beach. Sandbridge is ok, more families than anything else. For a more active area you could look to Croatan or maybe the north end. Not too bad of a drive from NY (or flight). If you were going for longer, I'd say look into Avon, NC. Lots of rentals and ok beaches. Pretty clean. It will be hot mid summer but the nights are cool.

Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI is incredibly beautiful place and sits on the hill over looking the harbor and has a small private beach. Newport is amazing in the summer and is only 3 1/2 hours away Note - I just realized how expensive Castle Hill is in the summer... Ivy Lodge is super nice too and definitely a little more in budget.

turtle bay's views shit on every hotel in waikiki and can be had for under $400/nt in september.

What's your budget?

You'll have to shop around - but there's a ton... Marriott (Waikiki Beach) Hyatt Regency and Moana Surfrider are noice, but pricey. Outrigger Waikiki and Outrigger Reef are options The Sheraton may be good also Royal Hawaiian and Halekulani are probably out of your budget

Pacific Beach Hotel Waikiki. Perfect oceanfront rooms that were renovated less than 1 year ago. My girlfriend and I stay here a few times a year. Check the link for the view. https://www.instagram.com/p/BMay0_YDvTd/

If main focus is Disney I'd stay on property. There's "value" hotels there as we'll. Last time we stayed at Comfort Inn and thought we could rely on Disney shuttle... Not the case always late, full, etc. So we ended up just driving to the parks when we thought we would be saving on that expense!
