Finding the right people and avoiding clique-iness is the key to beach house group unity
Sharehouses bring up a lot of different images for people who have never been to one. Some immediately think of the ‘bad apples’ that give them a bad name, of drunk pompous assholes and ill-equipped houses that don’t even give you a bed. That’s no way to breed an enduring community, which we believe is the foundation for a fun summer on the beach. In order to make this happen, we can’t just let everybody join in.
We have a set of criteria that members must meet in order to fit into our group. Furthermore, we hold recruiting meet ups in the city so that people can mingle and get a feel for the people to make sure that they want to join. There is, of course, more to our philosophy on members than simply 25-35 and single.
A successful beach share can result in lasting friendships (and even relationships), and can also give you a networking boost that no conference center ever could. We make 110% effort to put together a group that exemplifies the kind of people with whom we’d like to spend more than 5 weekends.
Our goal is to build a community of participators, people who can go with the flow and can both rev up the party or blend in to the relaxed mood as the situation demands. We like people who don’t feel entitled to disregard their space and the people around them.
Strong community is key to beach house success.
We want people who are confident, smart, funny, talented, outgoing, mature, and attractive. By limiting our group to interesting and open-minded individuals- folks who don’t need to be told that they should share and share alike, pitch in, be courteous and kind- everybody benefits.
Our goal is to foster an environment of sharing and enjoyment. We are looking for fun, good looking, young professionals who share a set of interests and positive personality traits. Since this is like a vacation that last all summer, it is of the utmost importance that we have a group that is excited to spend time with those around them, and that there is not some shithead ruining it for everyone and making our lives difficult.
