Ever wonder what it would be like to stay on a yacht for a few nights outside of Manhattan or go "glamping" in a tent in Sussex County?

Airbnbs have become a popular alternative to the traditional weeklong vacation rental or booking a few nights at a hotel.

The hospitality company, which allows homeowners to rent out their properties, was on pace to have more than 100 million stays in 2017. The service allows travelers to choose from a variety of unique lodging options that previously were not available to the public.

Here are 10 of New Jersey's more interesting Airbnbs.

Houseboat, Brick ($89 per night)

All aboard Captain Ron's houseboat! Docked on the Metedeconk River, the boat has three decks, two bedrooms and can sleep four. "It's a great place to destress from the hassles of everyday life in the city," the listing states.

It is a little cramped inside, and that could be the reason why the Airbnb's listing harps on the three decks it has to enjoy. The listing says guests can enjoy fireworks every Thursday during the summer from the top deck.

Some pro tips when renting this place:

The toilet has a limit of 21 flushes a week.

You cannot use the microwave while the air conditioning is running.

It was slightly difficult to find the first time as my GPS wasn't working properly in the remote area, but Denise was quick to give directions over the phone and they even drove out to main road to meet us. They have nicely equipped kitchen which was a priority for us as my mom likes to cook meals. Denise and her husband were gracious enough to cook and dine with us, and made us feel at home."
