So let's say that you and your H have been married for a little over a year, and you are going on a big family vacation and staying in a big beach house. Unfortunately everyone else has kids and therefore gets their pick of the rooms, and being the only childless ones, you get last pick. You can choose:
a) Having a private bathroom but sleeping in twin beds that cannot be pushed together, and there's no room for an air mattress on the floor
b) Having a double (not king or queen!) bed, but sharing a bathroom.

[QUOTE]Are you big snugglers? If so, double bed- if you like to cuddle for a bit then have space, I'd go for the twin beds- also, and this may be TMI, if you're sharing a house the only time you might be able to be discreetly 'intimate' could be in the shower, so that private bath may be nice!

Hmm, I would never shower with my SO if I was in a vacation house with other people. I would definitely go for the double bed.
Now with more wedded bliss.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

I might be biased because we're not married and living together yet. My answer could change once I was married, but probably not.

Or, sometimes she sleeps on my side, and encroaches in on me throughout the night. Like, if I roll toward the middle, she rides the blankets inwards so that eventually I have like 6 inches to work with.

My FI and I have been stuck in foreign hotels with twin beds. At some point in the night, I'll get tired of being in bed alone, and I'll squish into his bed, so we'll just snuggle in one of the tiny beds, college-style. After I fall asleep, if he's still awake, sometimes he'll move to the other bed.
I'd rather have the private bathroom. 4 adults sharing one bathroom is a pain.
[QUOTE]I would spend more time in the bed than the bathroom, especially at the beach. the bathroom on beach vacations is for showering and peeing/pooping, that's it. what minimal primping there is, you can do in your room.

Every time I've ever stayed in a big beach house, the 'private bathrooms' are really only private at night anyway. If somebody has to pee or shower, they're going to find an available bathroom.

and yeah, if it is a famly vacation, the bathrooms aren't going to be private anyway.
I liked the comment on the "bathroom after cuddle" comment. We could definitely make a twin bed work.
I vote twins and private bathroom, but I guess if you're in a family that use's each other's bathroom anyway, maybe I'd go with the double.

But the thought of not being able to get into the bathroom when I needed to? Oh HELL NO!

See, I don't care about the privacy for straightening my hair. I care about it for all that other stuff you mentioned.
But I also agree that the length of the vacation might factor into this.
And I also wouldn't be getting it on during a family vacation with a bunch of relatives in adjoining rooms.

Me too.
I'm really not planning on getting it on during the vacation - there are 16 of us, including 6 kids aged 6 and under. Too much hecticness and potential to get caught. It's not like a fancy hotel vacation. A week won't kill us.
Also, I don't see us barging into other bathrooms - except for two powder rooms (and one hall bath, which we'd be sharing if we took that room), the rest of the bathrooms are in the bedrooms.
Interesting that so many of the posters would go for the private bathroom but the poll isn't leaning that way.
