Most people love the beach, which is probably one of the reasons why beach house decor is so popular. Whenever you decorate your house in this manner, you will see significant results, as this type of look can completely change the way that your house is perceived. Many different things can be added to your house to achieve this look, so make sure that you take the time to explore all of the beach art that is available. Decorating your home does not have to become a chore when you have these types of items from which to choose. You can be creative or have a look completely designed for you, depending on how you feel about the home decoration process.
The home renovation process scares off many people, as they cannot see the big picture. These individuals tend to look at how much work everything will take to be done, rather than breaking things down piece-by-piece and looking at the gradual results. By breaking things down into smaller tasks, you will begin to see results almost immediately, which will help with the process as a whole. One of these tasks, of course, could be to fill your home with beach house decor, as this will change the look of the interior of your house significantly and will allow immediate results to be shown.
Once you have an idea of the beach art that you want to include in your home, you can begin with the next stage of the decoration process. The beach house decor that you choose can be implemented immediately and those who see it will certainly enjoy what you have done. Make sure that you ask around whenever you see something that you like, as many businesses will have this beach art present. Once you have located the exact items that you want, you can begin purchasing them. Keep in mind that you may have to visit a number of different locations before you can come up with the exact look that you want, but it will all be worth it in the end.
The main reason why you would purchase beach decor is to make your home look better, without having to spend too much money. This furniture and beach art can usually be found for great prices and it will create a relaxing atmosphere in your home. The coastal look that you will achieve is something that every visitor will notice and most will appreciate thoroughly. Many people will put shells and things of that ilk around their homes when they go for this look, so make sure that you explore those items if that is what you are looking to do.
You might even find some beach themed paintings in your search, which will add to your beach house decor greatly. These paintings can usually be found for low prices, especially if you purchase them from an unknown local artist. Many online retailers now sell this beach art as well, so it has never been easier to go with this look inside your home.
There are a number of people who have seen how fun staying in beach house vacation rentals can be. This is particularly true if they are going to Hawaii for a beach getaway. Because Hawaii is full of sandy and clear waters, it is no question why there are so many people who opt to stay in this island of paradise.
However, there is one question that invades the minds of many people who plan to go to Hawaii. Given the fact that it is a tourist destination, these people ask when the best time to go to the island is. While there are those who wish to avoid the peak season, there are also those who want to be part of the crowd. Here is a compilation of the different factors that can help you choose when to go to the island.
Weather
Many people who stay in beach house vacation rentals want to know when they should avoid this option. This is because they want to have an idea when they should bring an umbrella with them. Officially, the rainy season of the island is from November until March. Despite this, the season does not mean anything. There is no cause for panic because it is extremely rare for Hawaii to rain continuously for several days. At the same time, the rain that falls in the island is more of a sprinkle than a downpour.
Peak and Off-Peak Season
The months where there is a huge influx of travelers in Hawaii is from mid-December until mid-April. If you wish to save money on your Hawaiian vacation, it is best you stay away from these months as these are the times when everything is more expensive. Summer months are not exempted from this too. If you want to get a good deal on your trip to this island, make your trip in April, May, September, October or November.
Festivities
Hawaii has ongoing festivities such as the Honolulu Marathon, Merri Monarch Hula Festival, and PGA Tour. The week after the Superbowl is also a busy time for the island as there are several people who visit the annual Pro Bowl. If you wish to stay in beach house vacation rentals in Hawaii, it is best you have a reservation early on.
I’m Creating ‘Beach Money’!!
Author:
I started a home business in 2006 while my husband and I were planning our wedding. It started off wonderful with the help of my sponsors and I loved how enthusiastic they were about creating residual income and helping others do the same. I knew how well they were doing with their business and that really drove me to keep pressing on. I never gave up with my first home business but it just wasn’t “working” for us. I knew that I wanted to create residual income and leave the “working world” and work from home with my husband. I was so determined to find the right company and product to work with. I did tons of research and talked with my co-workers and family about it, but they all just looked at me like I was crazy and that there is no way I could work from home and make the kind of money that I was talking about! They all believe that you have to work until you reach retirement age and then you retire to realize that you spent your entire life just working for retirement and then when you reach retirement you have no idea what to do with yourself or you have no money saved up to stay retired!! No, not me!! I will be retired by the age of 30 and plan on living my life the way that my husband and I want to!
Then in March of 2008 I was researching coffee businesses and came across a home business with coffee and was talking with some one that was a distributor with this company and saw at the bottom of their email they had a link to Win a Free Candle! That link caught my eye and I clicked on it and started researching about a wonderful candle company based in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Not too far from our home. I love candles and burn them all the time but my husband didn’t like all the black soot that they were producing on our white apartment walls. So I read all about this company and the “Virtually Soot-Free” candles they offered that are made from Natural Vegetable Wax and are triple scented the whole way through. So I emailed the distributor whose website I was on and asked lots and lots of questions before I decided that this business was “the one” for us. That very same day I signed up, my own website was up and running and in a day or two my starter kit arrived! I handed out the votives that came with it to my friends and family and I burned the “Sweet Orange & Chili Pepper” Jar at home and loved it!! My husband even loved it! So I was working our newly loved Candle Business and was talking with my sponsor and her upline leader about how to grow our business and create the “Beach Life” that we want so badly. Then my upline leader mailed me a copy of her book called “Beach Money” by Jordan Adler. I fell in love with this book because it was exactly what I want to do with my life and it told me how to do it using our home business! Now I live by this book and tell everyone about it!
I hope to be an inspiration to the people around me that want to work from home, want to quit their jobs that they hate, or to anyone that just needs something different in their lives, something to work for! Anyone out there that is looking for a “Get-Rich-Quick-Scheme” isn’t going to find one. You have to want to work for what you want and believe that you will achieve it! After reading the book “Beach Money” I also started reading and learning about the “Law of Attraction” and found that it’s true!!! I can achieve and have whatever it is that I want in life!! You can too!! Stop living paycheck-to-paycheck and start LIVING!! If you Want It…You can Have it! Work for it and it will be yours!! Believe that you already are living the life that you dream of and you will LIVE it!!
“The biggest mistake people make in life is not making a living at doing what they most enjoy.” – Malcom S. Forbes (1919-1990)
Ten Best Beach Movies
Author:
One sheet movie poster: Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)
Sun, surf, sand, girls, music, romance – all key components of the venerable Hollywood beach film. Here are ten beach movies that no fan should ever miss. Pack your surfboard and hang ten, baby…
Beach Blanket Bingo (American International, 1965)
Often considered the big kahuna in the genre, Beach Blanket Bingo stars that dynamic duo of Frankie Avalon (Frankie) and Annette Funicello (Dee Dee) in one of Hollywood’s all-time sun and surf romps. It’s all here – beach parties, a surf rock band (the Hondells), the Malibu Rat Pack motorcycle gang headed by Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck) and a comely Linda Evans in the role of girl singer Sugar Kane. Frankie and Annette sing “Beach Blanket Bingo” and “I Think You Think” while the Hondells perform “Cycle Set” and Donna Loren croons “It Only Hurts When I Cry.” Deborah Walley, John Ashley, Jody McCrea, Marta Kristen, Timothy Carey, Paul Lynde, Buster Keaton and even “Mr. Insult” himself Don Rickles as Big Drop are also on hand. “You know something? A kiss is worth more than a thousand words,” Frankie says. “Then why don’t you stop talking?,” Annette replies. Oh, keen!
Director: William Asher
Review: “The classic beach movie of the 1960s, with Don Rickles and Buster Keaton adding their shtick to all the nonsense. Lots of great rock-and-roll.” The Motion Picture Guide (1985)
On DVD: Beach Blanket Bingo (MGM/UA, 2001)
Gidget (Columbia, 1959)
Sandra Dee has the title role as Francie Lawrence a.k.a. Gidget, a 17-year-old girl who finds romance on the beach during one unforgettable summer. With Moondoggie (James Darren) as her love interest/surfing instructor, Gidget also learns the art of “shooting the curl” in the big southern California waves. Cliff Robertson, Arthur O’Connell, Sue George, Tom Laughlin, Yvonne Craig and the Four Preps are also in the mix. Based on the 1957 novel of the same name by Frederick Kohner, Gidget spawned two feature-length sequels, Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961) and Gidget Goes to Rome (1963), along with the popular Gidget TV series (1965-66) starring Sally Field. “Honest to goodness it’s the absolute ultimate!” Sandra Dee’s Gidget gushes. Well, can’t argue with that.
Director: Paul Wendkos
Review: “Sandra Dee is the ‘gidget’ of the title, being a young woman, so slight in stature she is tagged with a nickname which is a contraction of girl and midget. Dee is in that crucial period of growing up where she doesn’t like boys very much but is beginning to realize they are going to play a big part in her life.” – Variety (1959)
On DVD: The Complete Gidget Collection (Columbia, 2004)

Where the Boys Are (MGM, 1960)
Dolores Hart, George Hamilton, Yvette Mimieux, Jim Hutton, Paula Prentiss and Connie Francis all journey south to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for spring break in this beach movie classic based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout. There’s plenty of action, romance and college student hijinks in this one, including a scene where Jim Hutton as a drunken TV Thompson dives into a water tank and pursues one of the comely “mermaids” inside. Frank Gorshin scores a good role as a groovy jazz musician, Chill Wills plays a police captain who readies his troops for the annual collegiate invasion and Miss Connie Francis sings the title song. Dolores Hart, who plays the outspoken Merritt Andrews and gal pal of George Hamilton’s suave Ivy Leaguer Ryder Smith, later became a nun and is now known as Reverend Mother Dolores Hart. A popular porn movie later appropriated this MGM title with a bit of a twist, calling itself Where the Boys Ain’t.
Director: Henry Levin
Review: “Where the Boys Are is one of those pictures every intelligent moviegoer will loathe himself for liking – a corny, phony, raucous outburst of fraternity humor, sorority sex talk and house-mother homilies that nevertheless warms two hours of winter with a travel-poster tanorama of fresh young faces, firm young bodies and good old Florida sunshine…” – Time (1/20/61)
On DVD: Where the Boys Are (Warner, 2004)

Ride the Wild Surf (Columbia, 1964)
Fabian, Shelley Fabares, Peter Brown, Barbara Eden, Tab Hunter, Susan Hart and James Mitchum all soak up the rays and surf in this beach entry set on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. “Hang ten” is the principal theme, as cool Jody Wallis (Fabian), Steamer Lane (Hunter), Chase Colton (Brown) and badass Eskimo (Mitchum) prepare to do battle in the big surfing contest. There’s the usual romance of course, along with Jan and Dean performing the movie’s title song and the Marketts singing “Surfer’s Stomp.” Mickey “Da Cat” Dora, Greg Noll and Dick Ziker performed many of the surfing scenes at legendary Waimea Bay.
Director: Don Taylor
Review: “Where Ride the Wild Surf really delivers is in its picturesque use of Hawaiian locations and its admirable efforts to capture the surfing culture there, much like the first (and somewhat underrated) Gidget.” – Stuart Galbraith IV, DVD Talk (2004)
On DVD: Ride the Wild Surf (Sony, 2005)
Girl Happy (MGM, 1965)
Elvis Presley stars as Rusty Wells, a singer at a Chicago nightclub who is hired by the mobster owner (Harold J. Stone) to look after his daughter Valerie (Shelley Fabares) while on spring break in Florida. A lean, handsome, raven-haired Elvis is joined in the cast by Gary Crosby, Joby Baker, Jimmy Hawkins, Nita Talbot and Mary Ann Mobley, the latter of whom reigned as Miss America of 1959. “The King” of course sings throughout the picture, delivering such spirited tunes as “Do the Clam,” “Spring Fever,” “Wolf Call” and “Puppet on a String.”
Director: Boris Sagal
Review: “Even with a large throng of clean-cut youngsters and some fetching Fort Lauderdale backgrounds woven in for travel-poster picturesqueness, the picture meanders familiarly. The saving grace is the steady stream of tunes, as rhythmical as they are unoriginal, belted out by the star and the other youngsters. That’s one thing—for those who care—you can always count on in Presley frolic.” – Howard Thompson, The New York Times (5/27/65)
On DVD: Girl Happy (Warner, 2007)

Beach Party (American International, 1963)
This is the first installment in AIP’s beach movie series, with Bob Cummings starring as Robert Orwell Sutwell, an anthropology professor who with his assistant Marianne (Dorothy Malone) embark on a study of teenage sex habits. Their quest leads them to the beach where Frankie Avalon (Frankie), Annette Funicello (Dolores) and other young people hang out and hang ten. Harvey Lembeck, John Ashley, Eva Six, Jody McCrea, Morey Amsterdam and Dick Dale and the Del-Tones also appear, with the latter performing “Swingin’ and a-Surfin” and “Secret Surfin’ Spot.” Like, far out, babe…
Director: William Asher
Review: “Doom-daddle, doom-daddle, doom-daddle. That’s the swingin’ beat, the dialogue flavor and just about the sum and substance of ‘Beach Party.’ American International floated it in yesterday at the Palace and the Fabian Fox in Brooklyn. Aboard are a group of teen-age singing idols, headed by Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Hanging on for dear life are two old fogeys named Bob Cummings and Dorothy Malone. Landlubbers, look out!” – The New York Times (9/26/63)
On DVD: Beach Party (MGM, 2000)
Beach Ball (Paramount, 1965)
Edd “Kookie” Byrnes of TV’s 77 Sunset Strip heads the cast as Dick Martin in this lively beach romp, with lovely, blond Chris Noel, Robert Logan, Aron Kincaid, Mikki Jamison, Don Edmonds and Brenda Benet also on hand. The story centers on three aspiring musicians and their plan to make some bread so they can get their instruments out of hock and compete in the big talent show. Sand, sun, surf, chicks, fast cars and the musical talents of the Supremes, the Hondells, the Four Seasons, the Nashville Teens, the Righteous Brothers and the Walker Brothers conspire for some good, clean fun. “Those surf ridin’, skin divin’, sky jumpin’, drag racin’, beach bashin’ boys and their bikini beauties… in a blast of a beach brawl!” promised the film’s promotional material. Is it too late to sign up?
Director: Lennie Weinrib
Review: “Good, nonsensical 1960s rock and roll/surf movie.” The Motion Picture Guide (1985)
On DVD: Not commercially available
One sheet movie poster: Chris Noel in Beach Ball (1965)
Wild on the Beach (Twentieth Century-Fox, 1965)
Frankie Randall and Sherry Jackson play college kids who mistakenly rent the same beach house. Their friends show up, resulting in a wild party punctuated by a lot of loud, groovy rock ‘n’ roll music. Sonny & Cher, the Astronauts, Jackie & Gayle, Cindy Malone, Russ Bender, Frankie Randall and Sandy Nelson provide the tunes.
Director: Maury Dexter
Review: “Notable only for an appearance by Sonny and Cher.” – The Motion Picture Guide (1985)
On DVD: Not commercially available
The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (American International, 1966)
Boris Karloff – a long way from Frankenstein (1931) – plays a corpse who must perform a good deed within 24 hours in order to gain admittance to the pearly gates. He finds his opening when Basil Rathbone’s evil lawyer character Reginald Ripper plans to kill off the young beneficiaries to Uncle Boris’ estate. Tommy Kirk, Deborah Walley, Aron Kincaid, Quinn O’Hara, Jesse White, Harvey Lembeck, Nancy Sinatra and Susan Hart are also on hand in this bizarre beach tale filmed in Pasadena, California. The Bobby Fuller Four perform “Swing a-Ma Thing” and “Make the Music Pretty.”
Director: Don Weis
Review: “The climax is a less-funny reworking of the final sequence in Beach Blanket Bingo, with the heroine (Walley) strapped to the longest buzzsaw plank in film history.” – Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
On DVD: The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini/Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow Midnite Movies Double Feature (MGM, 2005)
Surf Party (Twentieth Century-Fox, 1964)
Patricia Morrow, Jackie De Shannon and Kenny Miller play Arizona teens who head to Malibu, California, for sun, surf and romance. Pop singer Bobby Vinton plays Len Marshal, the owner of a surf shop. Look for the Routers and the Astronauts, two early surf groups, who perform several tunes. “When Beach Boys Meet Surf Sweeties – it’s a Real Swingin’ Splash of FUN, FUN, FUN!” heralded the film’s promo material. Talk about name dropping, but the Beach Boys and their 1964 hit single “Fun, Fun, Fun” are nowhere to be found.
Director: Maury Dexter
Review: “…Lots of romance (including naughty fun by 1964 standards), big waves and the Polish Prince (Vinton) running a surf shop. Inane stuff that was pretty hot in its time but now plays as entertaining camp.” – The Motion Picture Guide (1985)
On DVD: Not commercially available
