Second Porch is a new social vacation home marketplace, including the first Facebook application that helps vacation homeowners open up a new social channel as well as overcome the biggest barriers to marketing their properties — trust and hassle of renting to strangers. Second Porch also allows homeowners to discover other homeowners who are amenable to trading homes. Second Porch users can search for homes based on location, budget, recommendations, amenities, and—most importantly — their relationship to the owner or former guests. Second Porch is also the first vacation home portal that offers private visibility for homeowners who only want their friends to see their home listing. Second Porch's attractive, easy-to-use design allows owners to display property photos, amenities and home updates on their profile pages.
