Multi-Generational Getaways: How Glunz Ocean Beach’s 3-Bedroom Villas & Varied Suites Make Family Reunions Effortless
Planning a family reunion is exciting—but getting everyone comfortable under one roof can be tough. At Glunz Ocean Beach Hotel & Resort in Key Colony Beach, multi-generational getaways become refreshingly simple. With three-bedroom oceanfront villas, a full range of suites and standards across 11 room types, and a private, 400-foot swimmable beach, your group can gather, relax, and explore—together.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to choose the right accommodations for every age, what family-friendly amenities are included, and practical tips to make coordinating your reunion seamless from arrival to goodbye hugs.
Why Multi-Generational Getaways Thrive at Glunz Ocean Beach
Glunz Ocean Beach Hotel & Resort pairs barefoot luxury with real-world conveniences that matter to families. The property offers 51 accommodations across 11 room types, including suites and waterfront villas overlooking the ocean and beach—so you can keep loved ones close while giving everyone space to recharge.
Space to Gather: 3-Bedroom Oceanfront Villas
When you want grandparents, kids, and cousins steps from the shore, the Oceanfront Three-Bedroom Villa is a standout. Villas are set by the water and include three separate bedrooms (two with extra-large double beds and one with a large double bed), making it easier to create a central home base for shared meals, game nights, and morning beach walks—without splitting the group across multiple buildings.
What families love about the villas:
- Oceanfront setting steps from the sand
- Three private bedrooms for restful nights
- Easy proximity to the pools, hot tub, and beach amenities
Flexibility for Every Generation: Varied Suites and Standards
Not every family travels the same way. Glunz makes it easy to mix and match spaces, with options like:
- Deluxe Oceanfront Suites
- Havana Suites (non-smoking)
- Ocean View Standards and Island View Standards
- Oceanfront Beach Level rooms (including ADA-compliant options)
This variety lets you place grandparents in quieter ground-level accommodations, give parents an ocean-view suite, and set up teens in double-queen rooms—all within easy walking distance.
Family-First Amenities Included in the Resort Fee
Glunz includes a robust lineup of amenities that families actually use:
- Private, 400-foot swimmable beach with chaise lounge chairs, covers, towels, and umbrellas
- Two oceanfront pools and an oceanfront hot tub
- Kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles
- Beach toys plus giant outdoor games (Giant Jenga, dominoes, and corn hole)
- Barbecue facilities and fire pits for casual cookouts
- High-speed Wi-Fi, complimentary self-parking, and a business center
- Oceanfront gym
- Live entertainment
You’ll also find thoughtful touches like an en suite safety deposit box and a complimentary water bottle filling station—small conveniences that add up over a week with family.
Dining That Fits Everyone’s Schedule
On-site, Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant & Bar serves Florida Keys-style cuisine for lunch and dinner with indoor and outdoor seating—ideal for accommodating large tables and varying bedtime routines. There’s also an on-site tiki bar for sunset cocktails and casual bites. Prefer to keep things low-key? Make use of the barbecue facilities and gather at the fire pits for s’mores by the sea.
Note: The bar and dining venues close seasonally each year from September 2 to September 24.
