Initially a play on the word "beach
house", during the housing market crash, middle aged bachelors began pooling their resources to buy or rent high end luxury beach houses in
Florida and
California. Later, it became a term applied to any house being rented or lived in by multiple bachelors
I hear Dave just moved into that nice beach
house with three of his old war buddies.
With that many single guys living there it is more like a beef
house than a beach
house
