Beachhouse.com® gives beach house owners and vacationers an Internet-based directory of beach vacation rental properties available worldwide.

With its sophisticated search engine and geographic diversity of properties, Beachhouse.com is the fastest way for travelers to find beach house rentals. In addition, beach house owners gain a highly efficient way to promote their rental properties to targeted audiences worldwide.

Beachhouse.com's singular focus on beach houses provides the company a competitive advantage and affords vacationers and property owners convenience. Other Internet travel sites force vacationers to wade through other types of rental properties, such as bed and breakfast hotels, lodges and chalets, to find beach houses. These other companies dilute the marketing exposure property owners have on their sites.

"We designed the site for vacationers everywhere to find the perfect beach house destination," said Scott Hinkley, chief executive officer of Beachhouse.com. "Our goal is to become the largest, specialized travel site on the Internet, focused exclusively on beach houses."

Through its segmentation, Beachhouse.com is a highly competitive company in a rapidly growing market -- tapping into lucrative online consumer travel spending. According to industry analysts Forrester Research, nearly 50 percent of consumers with Web access research travel online. In addition, Forrester Research reports that consumers are adopting online travel faster than any other retail segment. Despite recessionary slowdown, Web travel remains strong.

"We're catering to consumers' needs by launching this site," said Gary Strohm, president of Beachhouse.com. "The Internet is the preferred way to research vacations. Plus, renting a beach house provides the 'home-away-from-home' comfort that many travelers seek."

"The market is proliferating, and Beachhouse.com has the infrastructure, resources and features needed to dominate our industry category," Hinkley said.

Beachhouse.com is an easy-to-navigate online directory of unique beach house properties for rent around the world. Unlike other Web sites listing vacation properties, Beachhouse.com is exclusively focused on beach property rentals. Beach house owners can place their properties for rent on the site, giving them access to thousands of vacationers worldwide and increasing their marketing reach.

Vacationers -- whether honeymooners looking for exotic locales or families seeking children-friendly destinations -- can find the ideal property to suit their needs, quickly and conveniently through the site's sophisticated search engine. It can be found on the Internet at www.beachhouse.com. The company's headquarters are in Irvine.
