Our family home, designed by my grandmother, has been my family's favorite place to go for more than 50 years. It has one purpose--to allow a huge group of people to stay under one roof and have a great time at the beach. The bedrooms are modest so that the common areas can be sizable. It just feels right and comfortable and homey. The details:

Upstairs level (beach level):
Turquoise bedroom, 1 king bed, 1 half bath
Yellow bedroom, 1 double and 1 twin, 1 half bath
Green bedroom, 2 twins, 1 semi-attached full bath

Left bedroom, 2 twins, 1 sink, and 1 half bath down the hall
Right bedroom, 2 twins, 1 half bath

2 standalone showers downstairs shared by everybody in the home
The laundry room is beside one of the showers.

The kitchen is well outfitted with cookware, perhaps overly well supplied.

The downstairs has a common area with a TV if you need to escape.

Towel and complete linen service is included.

The crown jewels of the home:
The common area upstairs with dining, TV, and conversation and reading area (about 12'x 36')
The front deck with a third of the deck shaded by an upper deck sunbathing and viewing area (about 12'x45')

If you want to be alone, you can find a nook to be by yourself. If you want to be with people, you can be with people.
