At ShoreRentals.com you will find matchmaking at its finest. This beach lover’s website is where vacationers go find their shore accommodations. In turn, ShoreRentals.com is where owners go to list their house, townhouse, condo, or villa for rent to vacationers. And there, they find each other!

Not only is this convenient, but quite often renting by owner can save money for the vacationer. Property owners, eager to rent out their beach property, are pricing competitively.

ShoreRentals.com now offers an alternative! Rent directly from owners. You choose the place and price from a selection of beautiful, privately-owned properties with as few or as many amenities as you seek – at no additional cost! No fee for searching, no fee for finding, and no fee for selecting the unit(s) you want. What could be better than that?

Where? At ShoreRentals.com. How? Because we rent properties that are carefully screened and viewed prior to posting them on our web site. Private owners take better care of their properties and you end up with cleaner units, and better weekly, monthly or seasonal rates, because they manage them themselves. This puts more money in your pocket!

If your dates are flexible, renting by owner can save you a lot on money. If you can find a last minute opening, the owners will rent condos, beach homes or bungalows to you at a DEEP discount rather then leaving the unit un-rented. Always ask an owner what dates they have open, and if there are any weeks they are having trouble booking, they may be willing to discount it for you. It’s a win, win situation for both.

When renting directly from the owner, the vacationer quite often gets more for their money than a basic hotel room. Often furnished and decorated individually, rental properties are more comfortable, flexible, and offer more variations, such as a kitchen. Renting accommodations with a kitchen allows vacationers to prepare their own meals at less cost than eating at out at a restaurant every night. Often those traveling with small children or big parties prefer to enjoy their meals in a more personal setting. People who are on restricted diets can avoid the challenges of trying to order from a limited restaurant menu by cooking what they want. Even those who stay at all-inclusive resorts find they don’t end up using all the options for which they pay, regardless of whether they are used or not.

Find the property and rent it online, or talk to owners via phone. Save money when you go directly through the property owner on ShoreRentals.com.

The historic village of Porthleven, Cornwall is the most southerly working harbour in mainland UK. The harbour exists today due to HMS Anson being wrecked on Loe Bar on December 29th 1807. Tobias Roberts, a hero that day, swam through stormy seas out to the Anson. A rope was tied around Tobias enabling him to create an escape route for those on board. Although he successfully reached the ship, over one hundred crew perished including the ship’s Captain Lydiard.

Appalled by the loss of life, Tobias Roberts knew that a harbour of safe refuge was urgently needed. Being a man of determination he won the battle and Porthleven Harbour was constructed and then improved at a later date. Once a hive of commercial activity including imports and exports, boat building and fishing, trade declined leaving Porthleven harbour supporting a reduced number of commercial boats, pleasure craft and sports.

However, the harbour still plays a major role attracting visitors from all over the world. Of course the village received the attention of the media when it was hit by a hurricane in December 1989. Television coverage was worldwide, showing the destructive storm with its monster waves spraying seaweed and shingle over 72 feet or 22 metres, the height of Porthleven’s clock tower, part of the Institute Buildings. Over the years village has attracted film and television programme makers helping to promote Porthleven’s natural unspoilt attraction.

In addition, brown tourist signs were introduced and publicised the village in a variety of ways including the Discover Porthleven leaflet which is now reproduced annually.
Of course the village received media attention well beyond affordable advertising when it was hit by a hurricane in December 1989.

Television coverage was worldwide, showing the devastating storm with spray from monster waves reaching heights over 72 feet or 22 metres, the height of Porthleven’s land mark, the clock tower forming part of the Institute Buildings. The village has attracted film and television programme makers all helping to advertise Porthleven’s natural unspoilt attraction.

There is a great variety of places to eat in Porthleven with restaurants such as the Blue Haze Restaurant, a recent asset to the village, quickly building a great reputation with both locals and visitors alike. Kota Restaurant and B&B is located on the harbour head and produces a well presented and varied menu. Both restaurants have chefs who have a great passion for cooking with locally sourced food. There are also two fish and chip shops and a Chinese takeaway.
