Trusted USA accommodation distribution

For the travel trade

Who we are Ocean Beds is the accommodation-only division of the Ocean Holidays Group, with a specialist focus on USA and long-haul products for the travel trade. Launched in 2013, the business began as a leading distributor of Florida vacation homes and has since expanded into a wider portfolio of more than 3,000 of villas and over 500 hotel options across the USA and other key long-haul destinations such as the Caribbean and the Maldives.

What we do We connect high-quality accommodation suppliers with valuable trade distribution through a professionally managed wholesale model. Our portfolio includes villas, holiday homes, resort properties and hotels, with inventory distributed through a wide network of travel trade partners as well as group-owned sales channels .

Trust and credibility Ocean Beds is part of the Ocean Holidays Group, a UK-based travel company with over 20 years of award-winning experience and a clear vision to become the leading long-haul and luxury travel provider in Europe. A key driver of demand for Ocean Beds is Ocean Florida, the largest brand within the group and the UK's largest independent tour operator specialising in Florida villa holidays. Ocean Florida generates the highest volume of direct-to-consumer bookings for Ocean Beds and plays an important role in delivering a consistent and reliable booking flow. In addition, Winged Boots, the group’s luxury travel brand, provides selected accommodation partners with valuable exposure to a high-end leisure audience in the UK. For suppliers outside Orlando, this creates a clear opportunity: access to a proven source of qualified leisure demand through a partner that understands villa, holiday home and resort accommodation, knows how to sell it effectively, and is set up to support both guests and suppliers properly

Why Partner with Ocean Beds

The Commercial Value

Broader distribution Ocean Beds gives suppliers access to a broad mix of B2B and B2C distribution, including tour operators, online travel agents, bed banks and group-owned sales channels. This creates a wider route to market without the time and cost involved in building each relationship independently.

Incremental bookings Our model is designed to deliver additional wholesale demand that complements existing business rather than relying solely on peak-season opportunity. For suppliers, that means access to new booking channels and stronger potential to grow occupancy and revenue.

Stronger year-round demand Ocean Beds supports demand across high, mid and low seasons, helping suppliers reduce reliance on a narrow booking window. Our exact home programme also supports longer stays, with average bookings of 12 nights or more, which can create meaningful value for property managers and accommodation operators.

How a Partnership with Ocean Beds Works Simple commercial model Ocean Beds operates on a straightforward wholesale model. Supplier rates and fees are streamed directly into our system, and we add our margin on top. There are no commission fees. In return, we ask for a wholesale discount off rack rate so we can remain competitive while driving incremental bookings through our channels.

Easy integration We are set up for efficient supplier connectivity.

Our API connections with Ciirus, Streamline and MyBookingPal allow us to pull inventory directly into our platform, helping reduce manual handling and making distribution easier to manage.

Guest and operational support Ocean Beds supports guests throughout their stay and provides a 24/7 emergency helpline, helping reduce unnecessary calls to property managers. We also take responsibility for accidental and non-accidental damages, removing the need for client credit cards on file and helping reduce chargeback disputes.

Who we work with Ocean Beds works with property management companies, villa operators, holiday home providers, resort accommodation suppliers and hotel partners across the USA.
