[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you split the rooms and cost in this beach house scenario?

Family A: 2 adults, a 4 year old and a 3 month old infant.  4 year old currently does not share a room with the baby.
Family B: 2 adults, twin 7 year olds.  7 year olds share a room and the family generally is pretty flexible on sleeping arrangements (when they travel, they usually just get a single room with 2 double beds).

Three bedroom house: master with queen size bed on first floor; two bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom with 2 twin beds and one bedroom with a double bed.

Family A rented the house and invited Family B to join for a few days.  Family B accepted and will stay for 3 days.
The house is on the pricey side.  Family B has offered to chip in (Family A did not ask).

How would you allocate the rooms, and should Family A accept Family B's offer (and if so, how would you come up with an amount)?[/quote]

Master with Queen: Family A with pack n play for three month old

Bedroom w/ twins: Add an aerobed and put twins and four year old here.

Bedroom w/ double: Parents of Family B

As for cost, well, Family A invited, so Family A needs to come up with the lion's share of the cost.  If Family A truly meant for Family B not to pay when they invited Family B, graciously accept what Family B offers or just straight up say it's mean to be a gift and you'd be renting the house anyway (yes?) and let them pay for some meals.

I agree with this.  If we need the other family to chip in, we would have arranged that up front before renting the house. If you invite after the fact you can't expect people to chip in, especially if they're only staying a few days. On the flip side though, family B should absolutely pick up groceries or treat to a meal out/takeout or both.
