9:21 - Most people I know feel the same way!  WHY do people put themselves THROUGH this TORTURE?  My friend is forced to sleep with her ENTIRE family (2 grown children + 2 adults) in ONE Queen bed!!!  WHAT!!?????

That is the most ridiculous NC beach "vacation" story I have heard so far!

Apparently, the MIL rents out the house and is so proud to do so because at some point, the SIL said it was a good idea.  Because of course, SIL thought everyone else was doing it, and SIL is a huge follower.

My friend wants nothing to do with it.  She sends the DH and kids.  Because lets face it, she wouldn't fit in the bed anyway (she's a size 8, smaller than the SILs).  And she can't go for a week without sleep, of course - especially on vacation.

Then the MIL invites EXTRA people (NOT family) to join them, because MIL grew up poor and thinks everyone is fine with piling into one of those houses; because it has an elevator (SOUNDS OF AWE HERE).  BTW, no one uses the elevator and the one person who needs it couldn't use it because they could not make the front stairs.  What good is the elevator if the house has front stairs?

Turns out, everyone hates it and can't wait for the torture to be DONE.

There are closer places where everyone would be happier renting next to each other instead of on top of each other.  And, there might just be no stairs (gasp).

I need to be where the people are nice; the seafood and restaurants are amazing and family oriented; and the options of beaches and food and people are multiple.  i.e.: not NC.  Where most of the people are from here, BTW.  I don't need a pool at the beach, and I would prefer to walk everywhere instead of getting stuck in traffic.  I can't stand the thought of it.

No. Thank. You.

OP, if you suggest elsewhere, would they be open to it?  Or are they stubborn and closed minded sheeple?
