It’s no surprise that seaside house rentals would be especially popular among house rentals. When you spend time at a seaside home, you’ve got gorgeous views, refreshing salty air, plenty of sun (most days, at least, depending on where you’re located!). And perhaps, even the chance to unwind at the beach for a few hours. 

But you may be wondering more specifically what kind of events might work well at a seaside house. This can vary enormously, but possible options include photo or video shoots, parties, company offsites, and lots more. We’ll bet there’s a pretty good chance that the event you’re considering would also work well at a seaside house! 

The location makes all the difference when it comes to planning a truly fabulous gathering. For instance, let’s say you’re planning a birthday party. You could easily rent out a standard event space and the party will probably go great. But why not elevate your event to the next level by holding it in a truly outstanding location? By renting a seaside house for your party, you’ll impress your guests. You’ll also create a truly memorable experience for yourself and everyone in attendance, and you’ll get your fill of those gorgeous ocean vistas while you’re there. 

Why use Peerspace for seaside house rentals by the hour?

When you’re looking for a short-term rental of this type, your initial thought might be to check out an online marketplace like Airbnb. And you’re sure to find lots of lovely seaside house rentals on these sites. But if you’re planning an event that will only take a few hours, rather than staying in a space as lodging for a longer period of several days, then these aren’t likely to be the right fit. 

Sites like Airbnb are designed for multi-night stays. So renting a space for a few hours isn’t likely to be an option through them. Plus, you’ll end up wasting money by paying for a 24-hour period rather than just for the hours you’re spending in the space for your event. In addition, most Airbnbs are designed and outfitted for lodging rather than for hosting events. You may find that many Airbnb hosts aren’t willing to have you host parties in their spaces. In fact, many hosts will specifically state that they don’t allow guests to invite people over, let alone larger groups of people.

With all this in mind, there’s a better choice out there for these types of hourly rentals, including seaside house rentals: Peerspace! It’s the internet’s most extensive marketplace for hourly rentals of all kinds of spaces, including but not limited to seaside homes. Peerspace is easy to search, allowing you to input all kinds of detailed search terms, while also being easy to browse. Peerspace listings are detailed and include high-res photos and reviews from past renters. You also have a simple means of contacting hosts to ask any questions or make any requests that you might have.
