Broad incumbents

• VRBO: VRBO (owned by Expedia Group) is a major online travel marketplace for vacation rentals. It is a broad incumbent because while it does not manage properties, it competes aggressively for guest bookings and lists many of the same NC coast properties that Sea Coast manages on its own direct channel.
• Airbnb: Airbnb is the largest global vacation rental marketplace. It is a broad incumbent because it competes for guest demand, has been expanding into services that overlap with full-service property management, and is the primary OTA against which Sea Coast's direct-booking strategy must compete.
• Vacasa: Vacasa is a large national vacation rental management company. It is a broad incumbent because it offers the same property-management-for-owners service and guest booking experience as Sea Coast, but at national scale with significantly more capital and technology investment.
• Wyndham Vacation Rentals: Wyndham Vacation Rentals is part of Wyndham Destinations and operates a national portfolio of managed vacation rentals. It is a broad incumbent because it competes in the same category with similar offerings but with significantly more brand recognition and capital.
• Evolve Vacation Rental: Evolve is a national vacation rental manager operating across the US. It is a broad incumbent because it competes with Sea Coast Rentals for both property owners and guests using a similar full-service management model, but with national reach and dedicated owner-acquisition marketing.

Direct peers

• Twiddy & Company: Twiddy & Company is a long-established vacation rental management company serving the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is a direct peer because it operates in the same geography-adjacent NC coastal market with the same model: managing whole-home vacation rentals for property owners and booking guests.
• Sun Realty: Sun Realty is a vacation rental and real estate management firm based in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is a direct peer due to overlapping product offering (whole-home beach vacation rentals), overlapping customer base (NC coast travelers), and similar property-management-for-owners service line.
• Brindley Beach Vacations: Brindley Beach Vacations is a North Carolina coastal vacation rental management company operating in similar beach markets (including Oak Island, which Sea Coast also serves). It is a direct peer because it offers comparable short-term whole-home rentals with property management services for owners on the NC coast.
• Coastal Vacation Resorts: Coastal Vacation Resorts manages vacation rental properties in Holden Beach and surrounding Brunswick County beaches in North Carolina. Direct peer due to same product, same NC Brunswick County region, and same owner-management business model.
• Kees Vacation Rentals: Kees Vacation Rentals is an Outer Banks NC vacation rental manager. It is a direct peer because of the identical whole-home coastal rental management model and overlapping NC coast geography, despite serving different specific beach towns.
