About Beach-Huts.COM - permanently FREE to advertise your beach hut to rent or to sell...

I guess I should introduce myself: Hagen Rose, as founder of the Beach-Huts.Com community... I am a businessman, I.T. consultant and freelance web designer with a passion for the sea and seaside... In the summer I spend "too much" of my time on the beach and on the coast, where I sunbathe, go walking, build sand castles, go fishing, swimming, reading, diving, cycling, BBQing, pondering life, talking to friends, drinking wine, etc... etc... I am sure you are familiar with the general idea!

I have run this very successful site for 3 years now. Last year (2007) I was invited to speak on BBC Radio Suffolk and Original FM about beach huts and our web site... We were also in Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Country Life Magazine (and a pamphlet of things to do in the summer), Country Homes and Interiors, The Daily Mail, Zest Magazine and many more just to mention a few...

It's free and we intend to keep it free for beach huts owners to advertise to rent or sell!

How come free? Well the seaside is a hobby and a passion... Also as I am a freelance web designer, so it's somewhere I can show off my web design skills to a wide audience... and there are other avenues which we may take in future to make money from the site I.E. some form of advertising etc... basically its early days and we are having fun and hope you are too!...

Testimonials from beach hut owners - who rent out their huts

"After putting our Frinton on Sea beach hut on your site for the first time this year we have had unprecedented response with popular weeks sold out in days and many unfortunately disappointed guests. We are already taking bookings for 2008 on the basis of demand. Thanks for providing a great site to reach all those who still yearn for a traditional British seaside holiday and who help owners pay for the maintenance, tenure and upkeep of their prize possession! Thanks again and good luck." -- Richard Kearton Ref:326 --

"I have been very pleased with this website. I have a featured hut and get many enquiries which result in bookings. I keep the website up to date with available dates and it is excellent for anyone who is after a beach hut as they can instantly see which weeks are available. Very satisfied advertiser." -- Carol Williams Ref:107 --

"Thank you so much for your site, without it and the rentals we have achieved this summer I probably would have had to give my hut up after 25 years due to the extortionate rental increases. Thanks to you I have 8 weeks rental which almost pay for the year."--Janice Smith Ref:305 --

"Hi Hagen, just a line to say thank you so much for putting my beach huts on your web site, I'm very pleased to tell you that most of my enquiries & bookings came via the web site. Putting your stickers on my huts meant that anyone could look at your web site and see photos of the interior. It really made such a difference. Thanks again, kindest regards," --Patricia Miller Ref:54 --

“I have used Beach-Huts.Com since it launched and have been very pleased with the responses I have received to my advertising there. My beach hut has been in the family for many years. It was my holiday escape as a child and subsequently it has been my children’s too - one day it will be my used by my grandchildren. Being so important to me, I don’t rent the hut as a commercial venture, but occasional rental doe’s help to supplement the running costs. Beach-Huts.Com makes renting a simple process. I choose the dates when I will not be using it myself then I make it available to rent for the rest. Using the website means that I can rent for a day at a time, or whole weeks to suit me. Hagen has created web site that is simple to use and he has been very helpful. As well as the listing, the design of the web site lets me include photographs of the hut and an inventory of what renters will find when they arrive. I can easily edit my details to ensure that they are always up to date and check which dates are booked.” -- Mary Hutchinson Ref:128 --
