The problem with a big group at the beach is always the same. One house is too small, and two houses booked across town means the group never actually gathers. Everyone spends the week driving between them.
Side by side solves it
Par 4 Coast and Par for Shore sit a few steps apart. Booked together they sleep eighteen across eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, with two pools and two full kitchens. Groups tend to eat together in one house and sleep split across both, and children move between the two all week.
- Eighteen is a real number here, not a stretched sofa-bed count
- Two kitchens rather than eighteen people sharing one
- Two heated pools, so the season runs longer than the calendar suggests
- A golf cart with one of the two houses
- One conversation with one manager rather than two rental companies
What to sort out early
- Book well ahead for summer weeks and any holiday — large-group stock is the first to go
- Agree who is cooking which night before you arrive; it is the thing that goes wrong
- Check the bed configuration against who actually needs a real bed
- Decide the parking plan — two houses means several cars
Who this suits
Family reunions, multi-generational holidays, golf groups with non-golfing partners, and wedding parties who want somewhere to gather that is not a hotel function room. It works less well for a group who want to be genuinely separate — for that, book one house.
