Beach Rentals: How To Rent By The Hour

There are so many reasons to be looking into beach rentals by the hour. Maybe you’re planning a major birthday bash and want to have the party in a gorgeous seaside location. Or maybe you’re hoping to hold an offsite meeting in a unique place that will facilitate that much more communication and bonding among your coworkers. Perhaps neither of these is the case, and you’re in fact searching for a beach for your next photoshoot, using the prime location to take the quality of your photography to the next level. 

Whatever you need a beach space of your very own for, keep reading and we’ll help you understand why beach rentals are worthwhile, we’ll explain why using Peerspace is the best way to locate an hourly rental. We’ll also offer you three stunning examples of beach rentals listed on Peerspace to help you get a sense of what’s out there.

Why rent a beach or beach house by the hour?

Beaches are a major attraction because they’ve got gorgeous views of the ocean. Plus, they’re often sunny and warm (depending on where they are and what season it is, of course!), and they’re a great place to spend time bonding and having fun with people you care about. They’re also just a great place to swim! And lots of people have really positive associations with beaches because of the pleasant and enjoyable times they’ve already spent at the beach. No wonder you’re interested in beach rentals!

Now: choosing the right location can frankly make or break an event or creative endeavor. We’ll give you an example to consider along these lines. Imagine you’re planning a wedding. There’s no question that you can plan a successful wedding at a run-of-the-mill event space or wedding chapel. But having the wedding in a location with a stunning natural vista for a backdrop – like a beach? That’s the difference between a standard wedding and a unique wedding that’s truly memorable for all in attendance. 

There’s a reason they say location, location, location. And it applies to events, too, not just real estate!

How not to book beach rentals

You might initially consider using a lodging-oriented platform like Airbnb for your hourly beach rental. And perhaps you’ll find beachside homes for rent by the day/night there, but these sites are not designed for hourly rentals. If you’re planning on holding an event that lasts several hours, but end up paying for a space for its 24-hour minimum rental period, you’ll overpay. 

And if you’re hoping to host an event, you might find that hosts on Airbnb and equivalent sites aren’t particularly receptive to these kinds of plans for their spaces. They tend to expect that they’ll be renting out their homes for a few guests, not for many visitors, and they may not allow you to host an event in their space. You might not even be allowed to have a few people over when you rent an Airbnb. So if you want to find an Airbnb that will actually allow you to host events, you might waste a lot of time and energy looking through the site.

Examples of beach rentals available for rent via Peerspace

Here are several awesome examples of beach locations you can rent through Peerspace:

Waterfront Property with Dock and Beach in Bonneau, South Carolina

This waterfront property is located right on a canal with a small beach accessible via a dock. The property itself measures one-third of an acre and in the yard by the water is a lovely and festive fire pit. The host of this location describes it as “perfect for photo shoots and get togethers.”

House on Beach Barrier Island Intracoastal Waterway in Redington Shores, Florida

$150 per hour is a total steal for this 2,800-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home that’s just a quick four-block walk from world-renowned white sand Gulf beaches! This house is on a corner lot that’s dotted with more than 40 beautiful palm trees in a residential waterfront neighborhood. Inside, there’s an open-concept great room and kitchen boasting stainless appliances.

Check out the host’s description of the layout of this space. “The interior of the house is split plan, on one side of the great room is a bedroom and bathroom with a separate entrance off the bathroom to a fenced in side yard. On the other side of the great room kitchen there is a master bedroom with ensuite and an 8ft sliding glass door off the master that goes onto the back patio.” 

Stunning Spacious Home on 18 Acres in Covington, Louisiana

Despite being just five minutes from downtown Covington, this incredible home known as Sleepy Lagoon is 18 acres of “stocked ponds and lagoons in a park-like atmosphere.”

This is a more unconventional beach rental example because the beach is a sandy river beach at the rear of the property rather than the ocean beach you might be expecting, but we’re including it because it’s such an amazing and picturesque place.
