Villager houses on the beach

[river]

So, I just saw a post on reddit where someone was showing off their surfer style houses on the beach. They all had surfboards and palm trees around, it looked pretty sweet.

I was wondering if anyone here had the same ideia, of placing some villager houses on the beach, and if so, how did you go about it.

It would free up so much space to do other things around the island I'm seriously considering moving one or two houses. But since 50,000 bells is a big investment, I wanted to see how it would work first.

Here's the Reddit post if anyone's curious

Personally, I only put villager houses on the beach if I think it works. I can't see a villager such as Dotty living on the beach, but Marina for sure.

It looks cool but my horizontal beach just isn't really long enough for it. (I have two south rivers)

I just saw this! Low key thinking about moving Shep’s house to the beach since he had a surfer shack vibe in new leaf. wish I could’ve seen this before my neighborhood was finished.

I've been thinking about putting Marina's house on the beach, but I haven't gotten around to actually planning it out yet.

i've done this for chief, zucker, and wade! i would never look at chief and be like "yes he has a beachy aesthetic and must go on the beach" but i think you can def make any villager work, just if you think of it as like a "theyve all moved to this island to relax on an island getaway, all of them love the beach now" kinda thing.

and you dont need a completely horizontal strip of beach to do it either! you just have to get creative with it and work with it. it's a fun challenge and often turns out looking really cute and unique imo

Here are Zucker's, Chief's, and Wade's houses (in that order):

some tips: the weeds dont grow on the beach and the flowers will never bloom while on the beach either, so sometimes i think it's cute to have budded flowers on the beach and the baby version of weeds. adds nice cute detail

It looks amazing. I’ve been thinking of making a tidal pool island for Audie, but I’m not sure. On the biggest part of my beach might work. I need more nautical items before I can decide.

One of my friends did this! I haven't seen any pics of it personally but I'm sure if you ask him on Twitter he'll share.

Oh wooow they look beautiful!!! I love the mix of hedges, designs and flowers you have, you really inspired me!

I don't have any villagers that have beachy themes per se, but I'm considering moving Roald and Hans to the beach because both their houses are shades of blue and I like the idea of a penguin and a yeti living that summer, beach front lifestyle lol

I personally don't like putting my villagers on the beach because I don't like how cramped it can get. Some people can make it look amazing tho!! My current beach doesn't have enough space for me to like it lol.

Oh I think I've seen you friend's town on twitter before! Love his pirate market

the idea of hans and roald living on the beach together makes me so happy :'^) i wanna see more beach houses. i definitely wasn't sure about it at first and their houses didnt start on the beach but i moved them there a few weeks ago and definitely havent regretted it. its so cute for some reason

This is my answer as well.

It may depend on the layout of one’s island.

I can only think of a couple of areas on my island where they can work.

I decided to not do it.

I organized my island to have islanders on the second level (while humans are on the third level and, on the first level, are more community-like areas; the campsite is on the main level).

It's what they deserve I don't have Hans yet but I think I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and test it out with Roald later today, I'll post pics!

Don’t have a Twitter but lmk if he ever posts anything!

It looks so cute! I might try it one day to see if i like it, or of it gonna make me feel like the beach got somewhat cramped.

Ahhh looks super good! I have Ankha's house on the beach currently, the colors look really nice and I think she fits in well on the sand. She has lots of yellow and white flowers around. I want to do some more decorating there though, so nowhere near complete.

Overall though, I do really like houses on the beach. Originally I wanted to have my house on the beach - but now I'm not sure if I will move it there. My best friend has her house on the beach and it's super cute *o*

I do also agree that the villager/house/personality kind of needs to go with the beach vibe, at least a little bit? Otherwise it kind of clashes. But you could definitely make a lot of things work, and shove a lot of different villagers into that niche, hehe.

And lastly, I don't think there are a toooooon of ideas for ways to decorate your beach - so houses can be a nice way to fill them up and still allow you to do like big plazas and gathering areas on your mainland ^o^

I was thinking of putting some of my villagers houses there, if they're related to the ocean, like Marina (since she's an octopus) or Plucky (since she was an "islander" villager in the GCN games and has a beach themed house.) Like you said, it would really open up some room for other things!

I think I might, MIGHT put Marina's on the beach once I get her. Although I like having all my neighbors close by.
