<human>: Hi Reddit, My boyfriend has struggled through some tough times, but in the last year he joined the Marines Corps and has transformed himself into a stand-up man. He recently graduated from his Marine Corps MOS at the top of his unit and I am so proud of everything that he has accomplished. He was just sent to a base in Oahu for a few months and then he will deploy to S. Korea, and Afghanistan.

Since we will basically not get to see each other for the remaining three years of his service, I wanted to surprise him and give him a fantasy getaway during his liberty on the 4th of July weekend, which also happens to fall over both of our birthdays. (Mine is the 5th of July, his is the 7th, so I want it to be extra special.) Our fantasy is to stay somewhere on Oahu where we can wake up on my birthday and walk directly out to the beach from our room, cabana style... the only thing I can find like that is the beach-front cottages at the Turtle Bay Resort (the ones from Forgetting Sarah Marshal) 

The problem with that is those rooms are about 500$ out of my budget for a two night stay. I was hoping you friendly Redditors might have some experience in the matter and point me towards accommodations that are similar, but lower profile and thus less expensive? Or perchance someone knows a way to get a discount at Turtle Bay? I can't tell you how much it would mean to us to make this fantasy a reality.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: My Marine boyfriend will be deploying for a long time.  I want to make our fantasy birthday wish of waking up somewhere like this come true.
