Reunion-night magic in Ocean Isle Beach.

When three beach houses share one guest list, somebody has to host the good part. I bring a private close-up show to the Ocean Isle Beach house where the adults are gathering after the family plans.

Pick the host house before you count the cousins.

A family outing to the Museum of Coastal Carolina can include all ages. My evening is for the adults. If your Ocean Isle Beach reunion is spread across several rentals, ask which host has permission and seating for the adults from the other houses. A large kitchen isn’t much help if your guests from House Three can’t see past the refrigerator.

Give the whole family one story in common.

Choose a time when the adults who want to join can all be there. I’d save one piece for that moment: cousins from different houses each make a decision with the cards, and nobody gets to rewrite their decision afterward. People who haven’t seen each other in years find it remarkably easy to resume an argument under those conditions.

After the shared reveal, I can work from a smaller table for anyone who wants a closer look. The relatives who need to get back to their own house can leave without missing the ending. Send the host’s street address to everyone, including me. “The blue one” is the beginning of a scavenger hunt.

A closer look.
